Why Choose an
American Shorthair?


American Shorthair Kittens are known for their longevity, robust health, good looks, quiet disposition and amiability with children and dogs. The American Shorthair, also known as ASH, is America’s own breed. Its ancestors came to North America with early settlers from Europe. Records indicate that the “Mayflower” carried several cats to hunt ship’s rats. For centuries, “working cats” flourished along with their pioneer owners and eventually established themselves as the native North American short haired cat.

American Shorthair Breeders consider the silver tabby as the most well-known color today, with dense black markings set on a sterling silver background. You probably have seen an example of this striking variety in television and magazine advertising or in recent movie roles.

The American Shorthair Silver Tabby is the most popular color with the Brown Tabby and Silver Tabby and White as a close second. There are over 210 color variations to choose from so finding the best color to match your style will not be difficult.

An American Shorthair Cat Breeder focuses on breeding a cat that is powerful and well structured. All components of this cat should be well developed. With a broad chest, a muscular neck, strong jaws and a well-developed muzzle, the American Shorthair is one of the most powerful cats of the domestic feline world. Its legs are thick and strong, with well-developed hindquarters. It looks like what it was originally meant to be, a powerful cat to keep rodents out of the barn and the house.

The coat of the American Shorthair is thick and dense. The coat becomes much longer and thicker during the winter. The texture of the coat is relatively hard as it is meant as protection for her.

Nicole, Dart & Family

North Pole, Alaska

We live in Alaska, and getting a kitten delivered to Alaska, in the winter, during a pandemic turned out to be a very challenging thing to do. Every time we ran into a snag David did his very best to take care of it or correct it as soon as he could to get our kitten to us. He kept me well informed of the process and kept me updated constantly. Th…

I came across Milla’s Kats while researching the American Shorthair breed. I was mourning the loss of our family cat and wanted to adopt a kitten of a breed that would be perfect for a family like mine.

Well, I can tell you that we are absolutely thrilled with our new family member, who has settled in like a pro! Our kitten, Olive, was affectionate from…
