Taralmador Cattery

British Shorthair in Gisborne, New Zealand

I have now updated my website, and will try to keep it as up to date as I can.

My main aim is to breed healthy cats with very sound temperaments.

I am a cat groomer here in Gisborne, and I understand just how important it is to have place loving cats as pets.
I started out breeding Persian and Exotics smokes and bi-colours, after 15 years I decided to breed British Shorthair. I will always love the Persian and exotics, the temperament I have found to be outstanding, but in the heat of a Gisborne summer, having long haired cats seems cruel, and most of mine were getting regular shaves to help them cope. The photographs on this page will continue to be changed as I work towards British Shorthairs!

My plan is to breed Bicolours and smokes, along with the Black Silver tabbies I have started with.

Many people believe that British Blue is a breed, but blue is one of the many colours British Shorthairs come in, it probably is the most well known colour.
