Testimonials

I recently adopted a British Shorthair kitten (blue point) from Jerry Tomil at Regal British Shorthair Cattery, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Jerry Tomil was incredibly friendly and transparent throughout the entire process. He provided all the necessary documentation and kept me updated with pictures and videos of my new kitten. This level of communication and care made the adoption process smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking to adopt a kitten, I highly recommend Mr. & Mrs. Tomil and Regal British Shorthair Cattery. Thank you, Mr. Tomil, for bringing such joy into my life!

I was VERY impressed by Regal British Shorthair Cattery. Sage, the owner, was extremely knowledgeable about her kittens. She had the exact kitten I was looking for, and the adoption prices were amazing too. I would HIGHLY recommend Regal British Shorthair Cattery when you're looking for a new addition to your family.

Wow, where do I begin? Jerry Tomil was amazing throughout the entire adoption process. Despite my constant questions and comments, which would annoy anyone, he was always super respectful and friendly. His attention to detail was outstanding, and it was clear he genuinely cared about the process. The kitten we adopted is unique, friendly, and absolutely majestic. My fiancé and I are still in awe. We hope Jerry continues this business in the future for any other cats we want to add to our family.

Mr. & Mrs. Tomil were great throughout the entire process. I had placed a deposit for a seal point kitten, knowing the kitten would not be old enough to be released for another 4 weeks. Mr. & Mrs. Tomil kept us updated during that time, and sent us some updated pictures as the pickup date got closer. I'm in Miami, FL, and so I was able to conveniently pick up the kitten once he was 16 weeks old. Mr. Tomil asked us not to hesitate to contact him if we had any issues or questions. We took the kitten to a local vet, and he's in perfect health. It's been a little more than 2 weeks since we picked him up, and we couldn't be happier.

My partner and I purchased our adorable little girl from Regal British Shorthair Cattery this past Spring 2024, and we could not be happier. As nervous first-time pet parents, we had a ton of questions. Mr. Tomil even responded to us on his day off! It was comforting to know our breeder was readily available to help make our transition smooth. Our baby girl, who is growing in bounds, has brought so much joy to our home. We were made to feel like family ❤️

I recently adopted a British Shorthair named Lillia. She is the sweetest, most loving kitty I have ever owned. You can tell she was raised with so much love and attention. She took to me right away and slept on my bed, laying on my shoulder and purring. She received a 100% health rating at her first vet check-up. The breeder, Jerry Tomil, was very attentive and helpful. Very pleased with my experience.

We are so happy with our new kitten from Regal British Shorthair Cattery. She is a very healthy, confident, and affectionate little cat. This is no surprise, as Mr. & Mrs. Tomil put all their cats' well-being first. They are very knowledgeable about correctly breeding and caring for their kittens. Our kitten also came with a microchip, vaccinations, pedigree certificate, and insurance.

Mr. & Mrs. Tomil are absolutely amazing, caring individuals who are very knowledgeable, loving, supportive, and kind towards their kitties and their new "parents." We fell in love with our little boy Diesel, and Mr. & Mrs. Tomil kept us up to date with his progress through regular video updates and messages. We couldn't wait to get him home. Our household now feels complete, as Diesel is cheeky, loving, and playful. We are really grateful to Jerry for all his help and support.

When you first sent me Sasha’s picture via email, I knew she was the kitten for me. I can’t thank you enough for sending me weekly pictures of her so that I could watch her grow until it was time for me to fly from Chicago, IL to pick her up. She was so good on the plane home, and from the moment she was in my arms, I realized what a special kitten she indeed was. Sasha is our pride and joy and by far the most special cat I have ever known. This is due to the wonderful upbringing, nurturing, and special attention she received as a tiny kitten from you. You are such a wonderful person, and it shows through your kittens. Every day when I look at Sasha, I think of you and can’t believe she is actually mine.

Regal British Shorthair Cattery has been nothing less than a dream...we are so happy with him. He is very mellow and tolerant of our four rambunctious kids. Regal British Shorthair Cattery's kittens have all the classic British Shorthair characteristics and we love him! I would definitely recommend anyone to go to Regal British Shorthair Cattery for an adorable and loving British Shorthair kitten. Sincerely

Hi Jerry Tomil, Sola and Luna are the best cats we could have asked for! They are doing great and are a huge hit with all our friends, relatives, and dad’s coworkers. You can see how much they’ve grown, and how much darker their colors have gotten. Thanks for everything!

These cats have been exceptionally well cared for. The vet thinks they are beautiful cats, and I genuinely feel they are quality kittens. Whisper is outstanding; his tail is huge, and he will be shown next year in 4-H. Cashmere has an incredible personality. Both kittens are very loyal to me. They have never been sick a day in their lives and came to me very healthy. I must add that the kittens go to the nursing home and bring much joy to the elderly. They also like riding in the car just to be with me. If you want a truly loyal friend, choose a British Shorthair from Jerry Tomil.

Hi Mr. & Mrs. Tomil,
Thought you would like to see the loves of my life. They are wonderful! I did not declaw and they have learned the word “post”!

Thanks so much for all the joy you bring!

Mr. & Mrs. Tomil, When you first emailed me the pictures of Gryphon, I knew he was ours. He is the sweetest big guy and gets along fantastic with all our other pets. He and our Doberman, Bailey, have a very special friendship. He will actually groom her. He not only is a loving, affectionate guy, but he is comical and makes us laugh all the time. He is a wonderful addition to our family and loves to go camping with us. He loves going for rides in the car and even uses the dash as a sun bed. He is a very healthy boy and has never been sick since we’ve had him. We can tell that you love your cats and kittens and spend a lot of time with them. He is the flame British Shorthair I always dreamed of owning and so much more. Thank you so much for our big guy and for all of your help and support since he’s come home with us. You and your kittens are all gems.

I owned cats all my life and my first British Shorthair kitten was purchased from Regal British Shorthair Cattery in the summer of 2012. I did a lot of research before deciding on a British Shorthair. I chose Regal British Shorthair Cattery because Mr. Tomil was very personable, and the kittens and cats are in a wonderful loving home environment. The markings and colors surpassed any others I saw on other websites. My British Shorthair, Dolly, is the best cat I have ever owned. Her fur truly feels soft like a rabbit and barely sheds. She is loving and playful, waiting by the door for me when I come home. She purrs often, and loves to play with my dogs. She is very inquisitive and smart. I recommend Regal British Shorthair Cattery to anyone searching to purchase a unique kitten that will bring you years of companionship and joy.

When I first brought Fausty home, he was a little shy. I already had my other cat for 4 years, and he is a very big and scary cat. At first, I tried to separate them, but it was a hassle. After about a day, I decided to let them meet and see what would happen. It wasn’t long before they were getting along like old friends! The thing I really like about Fausty is that he’s so very docile. You can pick him up and hold him, and he never complains. He’s also very playful and energetic, and will play (show off) for hours with the right toy. I’m never lonely when doing housework because he follows me everywhere, at all times! My only advice for future owners of Jerry’s British Shorthair kittens is to watch your feet because they really like to help you with whatever you’re doing! Since I’ve had such good luck with this kitty, I’m considering another one soon. It’s a bit of a drive from Houston, TX, but given the good health and nature of British Shorthair kittens from Jerry’s Cattery, it’s definitely worth the trip. Kari made the trip out and has added Louis Vuitton to her British Shorthair family!

If you value your privacy and want your cat to keep its distance, don’t get one of these cats! I have owned several different breeds during my lifetime, and these are the most remarkably loving and attentive cats that I have ever been around! They will follow you from room to room and will want to be involved in everything you do, even if it’s just lying around watching TV! If you want a loving, one-of-a-kind cat that will capture your heart and are looking for a great breeder, my wife and I could not be happier with Regal British Shorthair Cattery! Mr. Tomil, thank you so much for your help in adding our latest addition to the family, Winston, our blue point male British Shorthair from Sasha & Kayo. He is everything we could have hoped for! Our two girls, Sophie and Tasha, have welcomed him into our home and give him constant attention. I doubt we would have given serious consideration to a third cat if we didn’t have access to you as a breeder. All your kittens are exceptionally sweet, friendly, healthy, and we can’t imagine life without these special British Shorthair cats to share it with us!

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Tomil, I wanted to let you know that Violet has been a perfect addition to our family. My children adore her. She has been the best Christmas present. Her temperament is amazing—so sweet, adaptable, and playful. She immediately took charge of our 70lb German Wirehair Pointer, even letting him eat her food. She gets carried around all day by my 3-year-old, Flora. We joke that Violet will forget how to walk. We are continually impressed by her good nature and disposition. This is our first British Shorthair, but I’m sure it won’t be our last. Thank you so much for all your terrific help and the wonderful pictures. You made the adoption process a real pleasure. Our family couldn’t be happier with the kitten or the process.

Petunia was our first beautiful blue British Shorthair kitten from Regal British Shorthair Cattery, and Tucker is our second, flame bicolor kitty with the most beautiful red tail. Both have been fabulous with great personalities! They love to be with our family; we have 3 kids, ages 13-6. Tucker is so laid back, he just goes with the flow and lets the kids do anything with him. They purr nonstop and meet us at the door. We feel so lucky to have found him, and Jerry Tomil has been absolutely the greatest. From my first phone call to him, he listened to what we were looking for in a cat and helped me choose which of his available kittens would fit our family. He always took his time in answering my questions. When I came to get Petunia, Mrs. Tomil showed me their cattery. What a great place it is! One look, and I could tell the cats were of the utmost importance and were very well cared for. I was able to see the newborn kittens, those that needed a little peace and quiet, and those getting ready for their new homes. They are so well taken care of; the kittens and the moms have a great living space. Before sending me on my way, Jerry went over the paperwork, food, and schedule, making sure I was well prepared when we got home. He has been here to answer questions as they arise. I believe you can’t go wrong with any kitten from Regal British Shorthair Cattery. A kitten from Regal British Shorthair Cattery is worth their weight in gold!

We had a really hard time finding a pet that worked for our family. We live in a small house right on the highway. We tried dogs, but it was difficult to find a small enough dog with a good disposition. We had an outside dog that wiggled out of the fence and got hit by a car. The same thing happened with our outside cat. Inside cats weren’t an option because of our allergies. Then our daughter showed me an article on British Shorthair cats. They seemed to have all the characteristics we were looking for and would work in our small house. But finding one was a different story. Finally, we found Regal British Shorthair Cattery on the internet. Jerry Tomil made the wait for our new family member bearable with adorable pictures and updates every week. Bella has been the best pet we have ever had. Family and friends come over to visit and can’t get enough of her! We will never buy a British Shorthair from anyone else because we know how much Regal British Shorthair Cattery cares for each and every cat and how much Jerry wants to make this an enjoyable experience for both you and your kitten. He was there to answer all our questions. It made a big difference having that kind of support. I will always recommend British Shorthairs, and only from Jerry Tomil at Regal British Shorthair Cattery.

I purchased 2 kittens from Regal British Shorthair Cattery about a year and a half ago and absolutely adore them! In fact, I adored them so much that I had to get a 3rd about 8 months ago. My boys have grown up to be such great cats and have wonderful personalities. My oldest, Jake, by only a week, is so intuitive to my emotions and listens like a little puppy, not to mention he is so beautiful to look at. All of my cats get along great and love to play with my two little ferrets; they are all pals. Jake, my seal color point, Nova, my blue color point, and Sabre, my flame color point, are all so spoiled it is ridiculous. It is toys galore at our home, and they are so fun to watch playing with each other and with the toys. They will definitely make you laugh, and it is true that they follow you from room to room. Jake and Sabre especially have to know where I am at every moment I am home with them. Jake loves to give hugs and kisses, and Sabre just loves to cuddle no matter where you’re at or what you’re doing. Not only are my cats phenomenal, but Jerry Tomil is friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to do business with as well. He truly cares about his British Shorthairs as a breeder, which is why I have only purchased mine through him. When you are looking for quality, it is important to know that you’re purchasing from someone who is truly passionate about what they do, and Jerry most definitely is.

Mr. & Mrs. Tomil, Thank you so much for suggesting I consider the chocolate British Shorthair kitten (our Kailani) when I was looking at kittens. She is sweet, so pretty, very playful, and perfect for our family. My sons and husband love her too. She has been so busy since we got home and is really having fun with all her new kitten toys. Today, she is interacting with the two older cats we already had. She wanted to meet them on the second day and reached out her paw under the gate as if to say hello, but they weren’t quite ready to meet her. However, today they spent some time together during the day and did very well. Kailani is so happy and a joy to have around! I would definitely recommend you to anyone who loves cats and wants a British Shorthair! Thank you again for everything!

Just wanted to update you on my babies. They are absolutely the sweetest kitties I’ve ever seen; everyone loves them. I went to Denver, CO a couple of weeks ago and they stayed with a friend of mine for 5 days...she didn’t want to give them back! They are very mellow cats, yet they still play like kittens. They are so much fun to watch. I want to thank you again for such a wonderful addition to my household. All I know is that they are both beautiful, gentle kittens with unique personalities. I never thought I would have two cats at the same time, and now, truthfully, had I known what wonderful temperaments they have, I might have gotten three!

I just wanted to give you a 1-year update on Punky and share some adorable photos. Punky is doing absolutely wonderful, bringing joy to our family every day! Everyone loves her, and the first thing that comes out of the mouths of visiting friends and family is, “Where’s Punky?” Punky and our golden retriever, Lilly, have become best friends, and I’m always finding them cuddling together. When she’s not cuddling with the other pets and people in the house, I seem to find her in a bowl, a basket, a sink, or another random object. It’s the cutest thing! She truly is a blessing, and I am so fortunate to have found your website and been introduced to my little baby almost a year ago. It was definitely worth the trip to get her. I look forward to the day when I am able to add another British Shorthair to our family and will certainly be coming to you! And you can believe anyone I come across looking for the perfect pet will be referred to you. Thank you again for my incredible angel!

Meet Lulu, loving, cuddly, affectionate, and full of life. When she’s not asleep on my lap, shoulders, or chest, she is making me laugh; and by the way, she is not for sale! I recently lost "my Zoe," my 7-year-old British Shorthair, but I still have Zoe’s sister, Mellie. I wanted to get another kitty for Mellie, as she and Zoe were very close. Mellie had lost her spunk, seemed more reserved, and wasn’t playing much anymore. I began looking for another British Shorthair when my neighbor mentioned the breed. One thing led to another, and I found Jerry Tomil and Regal British Shorthair Cattery. I had never brought home an animal online and was a little anxious about doing so. He put my mind at ease in a matter of hours. Jerry was (and is) quick to answer emails and any questions you may have, explaining the process of purchasing one of his babies. I reserved one of Crumpets’ kittens, sight unseen. I wanted a female, seal point, preferably with white mittens. I kept talking to Zoe, telling Zoe that I was relying on her to help me get just the right new sister for Mellie; personality being most important. When Crumpet delivered, there was one female, a seal point, and she had white mittens. Zoe had come through for me. Every week, Jerry sent a photo of Lulu and an update on her development. I was amazed at how much she changed from week to week; getting cuter and cuter. The entire process of waiting was exciting and fun. I could hardly wait for the weekly photo. And as time got closer for pickup, I felt like a five-year-old waiting for Christmas. Friends and neighbors asked, “You LIVE in Virginia, you can’t find anyone closer than Wisconsin?” I said, “No, I’ve never met Jerry, but am so impressed with his care and follow-through.” Jerry is an expert at answering your questions, addressing your concerns, and responding after you’ve brought your new kitty home. The exchange at the airport was easy and everything Jerry and his wife said it would be. Lulu continues to make me laugh, and Mellie is happy, playful, and full of life again. You can trust Jerry, his word, and the quality of his cats, unconditionally.

After much research, I decided a British Shorthair cat would be perfect for me. I stumbled upon Jerry Tomil’s website, Regal British Shorthair Cattery, and knew I was going to work with him to get a British Shorthair kitten from his cattery. Jerry is an amazing breeder, business person, and individual. He is very friendly and approachable. He cares so much about his cats. Some breeders just mass-produce cats with minimal care, but Mr. & Mrs. Tomil pamper and spoil the kittens from the second they are born. Each week, Mr. Tomil sends an update and photo of your kitten. It’s so wonderful when you are anxiously waiting for your little one to come home.
After Hagrid, my seal bicolor, came home, I was amazed at how true the “typical” British Shorthair personality really is. Hagrid is super sweet; he kneads and purrs constantly. He follows us from room to room and waits patiently in the bathroom for me to come out of the shower. After my mom met Hagrid, she knew she had to have a British Shorthair from Jerry. Soon after, Buddy, her seal point, came home. Not long after that, Edward, my flame point, came home to keep Hagrid company.
Each kitten is very healthy and sweet, with their own personality. It’s so much fun to watch the three kittens play together. I would highly recommend Jerry as your first choice British Shorthair breeder. My mom and I are so satisfied with our wonderful kittens. We’d just like to thank Jerry for an honest, care-free, easy business experience, and for our beautiful, fun, adorable British Shorthair kittens!

The day we decided to bring home brother and sister British Shorthair kittens, we were pleasantly surprised by the deep love and joy that Calvin and Annie have brought into our lives. They enjoy each other’s companionship, so we are thankful to have two British Shorthair kittens. It didn’t take them very long to warm up to our three dogs. Annie has claimed Riley’s kennel and can be found snuggling alongside any one of our three dogs. We are glad that we purchased our kittens from Jerry Tomil, as he is a fountain of information and happily answers our many questions. The most important reasons we chose Regal British Shorthair Cattery for our kittens are that Jerry litter-box trained the kittens, taught them their names, and spent time holding them. All of these things were so important because when we brought our kittens home, they were ready to be our family pets.

Hi Mr. Tomil, Our British Shorthair kittens are such a huge part of our lives, and we have fallen in love with them. Sweetie is growing fast and is probably double the size of his best pal Cutie Pie, who is our little princess, and so cuddly. Sweetie is a lover and always waiting to be loved! Both are tremendously affectionate, friendly, loving, and cuddly. They are inseparable from each other and from us. They follow us around the house purring constantly, always wanting to be next to us or on our laps. It’s been amazing! The kids LOVE them, especially my youngest, Mateo, who seems to carry them around most of the day. Thank you, Mr. Tomil, for giving them such an amazing start in life. You are the reason they are so people-oriented, and we are grateful. We love them with all our hearts and could not have dreamt of getting better kittens. They are healthy and thriving, gorgeous and affectionate. We get positive comments about how wonderful they are wherever we go. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful experience! Sincerely,

Mr. & Mrs. Tomil, Nedra has been a wonderful addition to our family! She is so loving and patient with our little girls and loves to spend time with all of us. We constantly receive compliments on how pretty she is and people asking what kind of cat she is. She has such a great personality and loves to curl up next to us on the couch. We loved receiving photos each week to watch her grow. Our daughters looked forward to it every Sunday afternoon. We each felt like we knew her before we arrived. When we picked her up, we drove to Minneapolis from Omaha and made a nice trip out of it. We spent time at the Mall of America, and the next morning came out to pick up Nedra. You were very helpful in making sure we understood the dos and don’ts of cat ownership as it was our first kitten. You were always willing to answer any questions or concerns that we had. It shows that you really and truly care about your cats and kittens. We cannot thank you enough, and we look forward to one day buying another kitten from Regal British Shorthair Cattery. We all love our kitten and simply can’t get enough of her. Thanks again!

We had been without any pets for many years when I started researching British Shorthairs. I found Regal British Shorthair Cattery and I’m so grateful I did! Our first British Shorthair was a little mitted chocolate girl. When we made the 3-hour trip to bring her home, she seemed to know she was ours immediately. She stretched out on my lap and slept and purred all the way home. She captured our hearts, and it wasn’t very long before we knew we needed another one to keep our Moka company. I contacted Jerry again and soon made another trip for our little blue point girl, Ella. These beautiful little kittens were comfortable in their new home immediately. They are the friendliest, funniest, softest, and most loving pets, and they were like this from the second we picked them up, thanks to Jerry.

When you drive away with your precious little cargo, that’s not the end of the relationship with Jerry. He is always there to answer any questions, help you out, and he knows everything there is to know about British Shorthairs. Do not hesitate to get a British Shorthair from Regal British Shorthair Cattery, but beware, one will not be enough!

Mr. & Mrs. Tomil are some of the most amazing people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Their experience with animals is second to none, and their continued help and advice are a godsend. Our little girl, Ravishing Rosie, is amazing and has completed our family. Anyone who has the chance to have a furry baby from Jerry will be blessed. So worth the wait. Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Tomil.

Mr. & Mrs. Tomilson are absolutely amazing, caring individuals who are very knowledgeable, loving, supportive, and kind towards their kitties and their new "parents." We fell in love with our little boy Diesel, and Mr. & Mrs. Tomilson kept us up to date with his progress through regular video updates and messages. We couldn't wait to get him home. Our household now feels complete, as Diesel is cheeky, loving, and playful. We are really grateful to Jerry for all his help and support.

Having met Mr. & Mrs. Tomil a few months ago while deciding when to get another British Shorthair, I have enjoyed getting to know them and their precious cats. They love every single one of them, and what they don't know about British Shorthairs isn't worth knowing. I can't wait to get our new additions (yes, we're having two) and know that Mr. & Mrs. Tomil will always be there if we need help or advice.

We are so happy with our new kitten from Regal British Shorthair Cattery. She is a very healthy, confident, and affectionate little cat. This is no surprise as Mr. & Mrs. Tomil put all their cats' well-being first. Mr. Tomil is very knowledgeable about correctly breeding and caring for his animals. Our kitten also came with a microchip, vaccinations, pedigree certificate, and insurance. In summary, if you're looking for a happy, affectionate cat that loves human company, then a British Shorthair is the one. If you do decide on a British Shorthair, definitely make contact with Mr. & Mrs. Tomil at Regal British Shorthair Cattery.

Our kitten arrived a week ago. He came confident, gentle, curious, and loving. He immediately used his litter tray, ate, and groomed himself. He loves attention, makes us laugh, and is already independent. Mr. & Mrs. Tomil are very special breeders in whom you can have absolute trust. The love with which they prepare their kittens is unrivaled. Their kittens are family, not just pets, and Mr. Tomil is always there for advice and support as they develop. If you want a really special kitten, Mr. & Mrs. Tomil are the very best breeders you will find.

I can't thank Mr. & Mrs. Tomil enough for all their help and support, even before I'd taken one of their fur babies home! They were always more than happy to answer any question I had, no matter how seemingly silly. As several people before me have previously mentioned, you can tell that Mr. & Mrs. Tomil genuinely love all their cats and kittens. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who was looking to add a British Shorthair to their family!

I’ve just received my beautiful British Shorthair kitten from Regal British Shorthair Cattery, and she is everything we’ve hoped for and more. She’s so pretty, gentle, and cute; I can tell she’s been raised with much love and attention. She also came with all her details: microchip, full vaccinations, and a health check certificate, which I think is extremely important when buying a kitten. With Jerry Tomil, you know you’re getting excellent quality for an exceptional price, unlike some other breeders. You can trust Jerry to provide you with the very best.

Mrs. Tomil is a wonderful breeder and it shows how much she loves her cats and the kittens she raises. They are all absolutely gorgeous cats, with beautiful coats and blue eyes. They are raised in the best conditions and she sends pictures and videos every step of the way so we can see our fluffballs grow up before they get home. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful if ever in doubt about anything. I have complete trust in Mrs. Tomil and the way she takes care of her cats and would recommend her to anyone wanting to purchase a British Shorthair kitten
