BUYING AN AMERICAN SHORTHAIR: THE EXPERT GUIDE TO CHOOSING A LOOF-REGISTERED KITTEN WITH CONFIDENCE
Where can you safely buy a LOOF-registered American Shorthair kitten?
To acquire an American Shorthair, renowned for its Silver Classic Tabby coat and balanced temperament, it is essential to contact a certified breeder who guarantees rigorous health monitoring. The Chatterie de la Rêverie de Tetiaroa, located in Seine-Maritime (76) and operating nationwide, is a prime example of a responsible breeder: each kitten comes from breeding cats tested for hereditary diseases and benefits from early socialization. A kitten of this breed, registered with the LOOF (French Cat Association), generally costs between €1,000 and €1,800, thus ensuring a robust, affectionate companion who perfectly conforms to the breed standard.
Originating from the United States but descended from European alley cats imported to America by colonists in the 16th century to protect crops and food from harmful rodents, the American Shorthair cat breed is the result of crossbreeding over time between stray cats and other feline breeds such as the British Shorthair, the Persian, and the Siamese.
Unlike the British Longhair or the Highland Straight, the American Shorthair has a short-haired coat that is easy to maintain, except for care for the claws, teeth, eyes, and ears, which is generally performed by a professional cat groomer at home.
The American Shorthair cat breed is distinguished by its powerful muscles, and its coat comes in many colors, including the most well-known Silver Classic Tabby.
Also, like the Persian cat, the American Shorthair is known for its balanced temperament and affectionate companion cat demeanor that adapts perfectly to different lifestyles.
Along with the Maine Coon cat breed, the Birman cat breed, the Chartreux cat breed, the Savannah cat breed, and the Sphynx cat breed, the American Shorthair cat breed is one of the most popular cat breeds in France.
Consequently, there are many cat breeders specializing in American Shorthair cats who offer their little felines for sale online via classified ad sites and cat sales platforms like Services pour animaux.
