British Shorthair Kittens in Loving Homes
A Glimpse Into Life After Adoption at Silva Nix
At Silva Nix, we believe that the true measure of responsible breeding is not just how kittens grow in our care — but how they live, thrive, and settle into their new homes long after adoption.
This page is a small window into that journey.
Here, we share moments of our British Shorthair and British Longhair kittens who were once raised by us, and who are now living happily with their families across Melbourne and Australia.
Silva Nix is an ANCATS-registered British Shorthair and British Longhair breeder based in South-East Melbourne, Victoria.
Silva Nix’s core breeding specialisation is golden British cats across four groups: Golden Shaded British Shorthair, Golden Shaded British Longhair, Golden Point British Shorthair and Golden Point British Longhair. Selected silver lines may also feature in our programme, but golden British Shorthair and British Longhair cats are our primary focus. We raise kittens with a focus on health, temperament and adaptability, and value ongoing communication with families after adoption.

From Our Home to Theirs
Every kitten bred at Silva Nix begins life with intention.
We specialise exclusively in:
-
British Shorthair
-
British Longhair
-
Golden Shaded British Shorthair

Each kitten is raised in a calm, structured environment that prioritises health, temperament, and adaptability.
Seeing our kittens later — relaxed on sofas, watching birds through windows, or quietly following their owners from room to room — is the most meaningful part of what we do.
