At TESCATS, breeding Exotic Shorthair kittens is more than a business, it is a daily commitment to preserving the beauty, health, and affectionate temperament of this extraordinary breed.
Located just outside Houston, Texas, our kittens are raised inside our home as part of our family, receiving constant human interaction, socialization, and loving care from birth.

Founder, TESCATS
HAND-RAISED IN OUR HOME
Every TESCATS kitten is raised inside our home, not in outdoor kennels or detached facilities. From the earliest days, our kittens receive daily handling, socialization, and close observation to build confident, affectionate personalities.
HEALTHY START, STRUCTURED CARE
We focus on clean nursery routines, litter training, proper nutrition, veterinary wellness, and a calm transition process so each kitten leaves us healthy, prepared, and ready to thrive in family life.
SUPPORT
Choosing a kitten is just the beginning. We stay connected with our families by offering guidance, transition help, and breeder support long after your kitten goes home.
Are kittens CFA registered?
Yes. All of our Exotic Shorthair kittens are eligible for registration through the Cat Fanciers’ Association, the world’s largest registry of pedigreed cats. Registration paperwork is provided with each kitten according to placement agreement.
Do you ship?
Yes, we work with families throughout the United States.
Kittens may be picked up locally in Texas, met at select airports, or transported with an experienced flight nanny depending on destination. Our goal is always to make your kitten’s journey as safe, smooth, and stress-free as possible.
Can we visit?
Because our kittens are raised inside our private home cattery, we do not offer open public visits for the health, safety, and comfort of our cats and kittens.
However, we happily provide:
- photos
- videos
- video calls
- regular updates
so families can watch their kitten grow and feel connected throughout the process.
What comes with kitten?
Each TESCATS kitten goes home with:
- CFA registration paperwork
- age-appropriate vaccinations
- health record
- veterinary wellness check
- health guarantee
- starter food
- familiar blanket or toy
- care instructions for a smooth transition
We want every kitten to leave confident, healthy, and fully prepared for their new family.
Are parents health tested?
Yes. We carefully select our breeding cats for health, structure, and temperament.
Our parent cats are PKD tested and monitored closely for overall wellness to help ensure strong, healthy kittens that meet the Exotic Shorthair standard both in beauty and in long-term quality.
