Furball for British Shorthairs
British Shorthair insurance,
done right.
The British Shorthair — the teddy bear of the cat world — is the most popular pedigree cat in the UK and a favourite in Ireland. Placid and sturdy, the breed still carries two significant inherited risks, heart and kidney disease, both of which reward early detection and full-reimbursement cover.
