AMERICAN SHORTHAIR Breed Profile
copyright of the CFA website.
Coloring - Known as a cat of many colors, the American Shorthair comes in over eighty different colors and patterns ranging from the striking brown-patched tabby to the glistening blue-eyed white, the beautiful shaded cameo to the flashy calico van, and many colors in between.
Eyes - Deep blue, brilliant gold, odd-eyed, green, blue-green or hazel. Brilliant gold is the most common, although eye color relates to coat color.
Overall Appearance - The American Shorthair is a true breed of working cat. The general appearance should be that of a strongly built, well-balanced, symmetrical cat with conformation indicating power, endurance, and agility.
Personality - American Shorthairs are low maintenance cats. These beautiful cats are not only lovely to look at, but are healthy, easy going and affectionate.
Interesting Breed Fact - The American Shorthair is America's own breed, whose ancestors are the cats that came to North America with the early pioneers from Europe. There are records that indicate several cats arrived on the "Mayflower."
CAT LITTER - GREEN !!!
We use a Cat Litter that is considered GREEN.. that means it is completely biodegradable. It can be flushed, or composted and added to your garden. It is sold here in Canada as a PRESIDENT'S CHOICE GREEN product. I have included a photo for you. It is basically ground up corncob. You can also find this in the US under various Brand names... here is a valuable link for US information...

We feed all our cats IAMS dry, and Eukenuba dry, and for a treat once a day they get a can of Friskies wet food.
RUMSCOTT CATTERY takes great pride in being a 100% cageless Cattery. We do not, and will not practice inhumane cat care. You will be getting a loving pet for your family who has become accustomed to normal sounds within the home,
ie - vaccuums, children, the phone ringing, the doorbell and the love, hugs and cuddles of human touch.
