Pedigree & Certifications

Who are we?
Founded by cat-lover and medical doctor Yusuf Dawood - AristoCub started as South Africa's only dedicated breeder of British Longhair cats. Our purebred cats are sourced from certified prestigious bloodlines, and internationally imported to ensure the finest quality and genetic diversity. Our bloodlines have the honor of international & double supreme champion ancestry, boasting some of the best ranked cats in the world.

Our affiliations:
We are honoured to be in partnership and mentored by SA's most established British Breeder: Luxury Felines (JHB). Luxury Felines brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our cattery and was instrumental in the formation of AristoCub. Through their help and guidance, AristoCub aims to set the highest standard in the breeding of British Shorthairs & Longhairs in South Africa, nurturing kittens that are not only beautiful but also healthy and well-socialised.

Our certifications:
Our cattery is internationally registered with The World Cat Federation (WCF) and locally with CASA, SACC & CFSA

At what age do kittens leave for their new homes?
Kittens usually leave between 12 and 14 weeks. These early weeks spent with their mom are crucial in the healthy development and socialisation of kittens. We never remove kittens too early from this safe and nurturing environment because kittens that are deprived of this will be nervous and skittish. Our kittens are happy and well adjusted because of the love care they receive in their first home. 

Are your kittens litter box and scratch post trained?
Yes, these milestones are achieved while they are living and learning from their mothers. 

Are your cats health tested?
We routinely and regularly test our males and females against genetic (HCM, PKD) and viral diseases (FIV, FeLV) as well as blood type, to ensure that our kittens are as healthy as possible.

Where do you ship your kittens?
While we prefer to house our kittens in and around the Western Cape - kittens can be shipped safely almost anywhere in the country. They are prepared well in advance if they are travelling on a long trip so that they are comfortable and accustomed to their travel carrier as well as being old enough to handle the trip with ease.
Kittens usually travel by air to their new destinations. Information is provided at the time of shipping on where and when to collect your kitten. You are also welcome to come and pick up your kitten yourself. We would love to meet you in person.
