Testimonials
LONDON
"We are so beyond happy with our kitten, London, from M+M Classic Cattery. The cattery is so professional, friendly, and kind. It's very apparent that this is a passion for Jonathan and Kari. As first-time kitten owners, they helped us through the whole process and made sure we were prepared. Our kitten is so beautiful and well-socialized. We are thrilled with how well she adjusted to our home. The easy adjustment was a result of their care and attention to raising an amazing litter! We would recommend M+M Classic Cattery to anyone who is interested in getting a British Shorthair kitten!"

ENOKI
“We recently adopted our beautiful kitten, Enoki, from M+M Classic Cattery. From the moment we first visited their home, it was clear how much they care for their cats. The McMullens warmly welcomed us into her home, allowing us to meet the kittens in their environment. It was wonderful to see their cats freely roaming in the living room. All of the kittens were so playful and well-socialized, which made the experience even more delightful. They went above and beyond to make sure we were prepared to welcome our new kitten into our home. They provided us with a detailed list of the food, toys, and litter Enoki was used to. They also gave us a special blanket to help Enoki feel calm during the transition and a goodies bag with her toys and snacks! Enoki has settled beautifully into our home. From using the litter box to getting her nails trimmed, Enoki was trained very well. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and we highly recommend M+M Classic Cattery to anyone looking for kittens that are loved and well taken care of.”

MISTY
“We lost our family cat after 11 years and we were ready to welcome a new member to our family,. It had to be the perfect fit as our standards were very high. After looking in to many different options we decided to visit M+M Classic Cattery to meet their three available kittens.
I can’t say enough about how welcomed we felt and how wonderful it was to meet a family that cares for their cats as much as we do. We thought we were leaving with one kitten and ended up adopting all three of them! They were so loved and such an important part of each others lives that we just simply couldn’t separate them.
Thank you for bringing such joy to our lives with our new kittens!”

MARGOT
After researching British Shorthair breeders, I was fortunate to find M+M Classic Cattery, which was looking to rehome a young adult cat. Margot is our first British Shorthair, and Kari took great care to ensure she would be placed in the right home.
Kari was open, transparent, and happy to answer all of my questions while providing Margot's health records and history. It was clear that M+M truly cares about their cats and wants every adoption to be a perfect match.
Margot came home with a thoughtful welcome kit that made her transition easy, and Kari and Jon even drove part of the way to meet us. They made the entire adoption process smooth and enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with Margot and highly recommend M+M Classic Cattery.
VIVIAN (VIVY)
"Vivy is doing very well and basically runs the house. She's such a pretty girl. She and our Golden Retriever, Snickers, play together - it's so funny to watch. We are thrilled with our kitty!"

FREDDIE
"Freddie is wonderful company....in fact, I often feel like I'm the Pied Piper! Everyone who meets him remarks about how beautiful he is, and I agree! I have a vertical fish tank that Freddie likes to watch. I'm sure he wishes he could have fish for dinner!! He also loves snuggling with me or under the Christmas tree! Thank you for the joy he's brought to my household."

MILA
After losing our beloved cat, Rumi, to cancer, we began searching for a British Shorthair because of the breed's wonderful temperament. We contacted several breeders, but M+M Classic Cattery was the only one that welcomed us to visit and meet their cats before making a decision.
Kari took the time to listen to our story and understand the personality we were hoping to find. She introduced us to a cat she believed would be the perfect fit.
From our first visit, we could see that M+M Classic Cattery is much more than a breeding program. The cats are raised in a loving, clean, and nurturing environment, and Kari's knowledge, ethics, and genuine care for each cat were evident throughout the process.
Before and after bringing Mila home, Kari has always been available to answer our questions and provide helpful guidance.
We couldn't be happier with Mila. She is everything we hoped for and more. We are grateful to M+M Classic Cattery for raising such wonderful cats and helping us find the perfect companion.
