 Welcome to My Breeder Profile


 

My Name is Helen Nicoholson

Location:  Kent near Dartford

Breed(s):  British Shorthair tabbies and spotties - silvers

Breeding since:  2003

Tell us a bit about you: 

I live with my husband and children and our cats are part of the family.

We all enjoy having the cats and kittens and we all help in their care.

Why did you choose your breed(s)?

I enjoy British shorthair cats as they are very easy going and friendly nature.

They are also very handsome.

Why/how did you start breeding?

I bought my first silver British shorthair kitten originally as a show cat who I

intended to show as a neuter. However at her first show I was persuaded

to keep her for breeding as she was so fantastic.

Why did you choose your prefix?

I wanted a name which would reflect the silver element of the colour. So when visiting my friend one day and her husband was listening to Metallica, I thought it had the connection I wanted. He suggested 'Metallicat'

 

When were your most memorable occasions as a breeder

I sold a kitten to a close personal employee to a well known member of the

royal family. When I asked him his address to enter onto the deposit

receipt, he gave a flat name in one of the London Palaces. So my kitten

now lives in a very grand and famous location. I still have the envelope with

the Buckingham Palace post mark. (I can't not give specific details for

security reasons, you aren't allowed to disclose names of people who work

that closely with high profile members of the royal family

Who were/are the most memorable cats you've had? I remember all my

cats as they are all individuals.

What are your hopes for the future of your breed/your breeding

programme? I endeavour to breed the perfect Black silver tabby

Is there anything else you'd like to mention?

We pride ourselves in our kittens leaving us as very socialised kittens as

they are brought up in the house with our family and so become

accustomed to all the usual comings and goings of family life. Certainly

people who have had kittens from us in the past have been very pleased

with the friendliness of our kittens. We have quite a few previous kitten

owners who come back for another one, so they must be well received.
