We’ve just adopted the most beautiful boy from Bournepaws and honestly, I don’t know where to start. From the beginning Misha has been fab, keeping in regular contact and sending lots of pictures along the way. It’s clear how much love and time goes in to her breeding programme and I couldn’t recommend Bournepaws highly enough. Our gorgeous little boy has been so well adapted to day to day life he settled in straight away with us in his new home. He’s just an absolute joy and we couldn’t be happier.

I don't know where to start to be honest... Too many wonderful things to say!
I have been following Bournepaws on Facebook for a couple of years now, and have been utterly amazed by the beautiful kittens and the care and love their receive from Misha and her family.
It has been a dream of mine to one day have one of Misha's kittens and we have just welcomed home the most adorable boy, who we are all totally smitten with.
Misha cares for her kittens and mum's so well; they are part of her family and clearly loved by all.
As well as making sure all are healthy, happy, and thoroughly contented, Misha acclimatises the cats to everyday life, so that they are used to household noises, such as the radio, hoovering etc., but not only that. We have a gorgeous dog, so Misha made sure our kitten had good exposure to her dogs before he joined us, and three days into joining us our boy was already feeling at ease with our dog.
Misha answers absolutely every question giving great detail, both before the kittens are re-homed and after; she absolutely goes above and beyond, and I know will always want to know how Xavier is doing, because she adores these kittens as much as we do.
Misha is one in a million in my opinion, and we feel very lucky to have found Bournepaws and these beautiful kittens. She moves heaven and earth for all her fur babies and their new owners too, which was absolutely our own experience.
If anyone is looking for a British shorthair breeder, they will strike gold (as we certainly did) with Misha.
Misha, Xavi has made us all so happy, and is the most adorable boy, who is cuddly, playful, loving, cheeky, and so happy. We can't thank you and your family enough xxx

I had my little soul mate 'Mallow' from Misha three years ago this Christmas, I have owned three cats who I loved, but Mallow is so different, he's my shadow, I love him so much! good breeding really does make such a difference. He's a longhaired Lilac amber eyed boy, I would dearly love a short haired friend for him maybe a future plan i will fulfill
Thank you for your commitment to such wonderful companions X

I have just welcomed my third BOURNEPAWS kitten home and I would like to recommend Misha very highly to anyone looking for a delightful BSH. I have seen a review dated 30 May which I'd endorse 100%, it very thoroughly reflects my own views and experience.
From my first experience, I was struck by how impeccably the kittens were kept. Misha's approach to breeding, her knowledge, and care of them is flawless.
The kittens are super, happy, healthy, well bred and cared for, trained and socialised. No hiding away for days with my 3, they're in and taking over the place straight away, they are that confident. Of course they all have different personalities but the care they've been raised with is reflected in that. They settle easily.
If you are considering a BSH you should look no further, in my opinion you won't find better.

I'm writing to recommend Bournepaws to anyone who has ever thought they might like a BSH kitten! I knew from our first contact that Bournepaws would offer a professional service, and that the kittens offered would be beautiful, superb examples of their breed. But I couldn't have imagined how delightful Misha could make the whole experience. Also, we have welcomed two of the most socialised kittens imaginable - they aren't scratchy, are confident, contented, sociable, and let you do anything to them because she raised them to be happy to be handled. The other benefit of buying a kitten from Bournepaws is Misha has done so much research and no question is too stupid or repetitive (I reckon I'm in with a chance of being the buyer who has contacted her the most often...sorry). We had angst over rescue Vs pure breed, worried about vaccinations, whether to get one or two kittens, raw food Vs tinned. She carefully discussed every issue. I would go so far as to say that I would never use another breeder because I can't imagine how you could have a better experience. In summary we have two utterly delicious kittens who have not just won our hearts, but have a fan base globally (truly!) as photos of them go around the world. Thank you Misha, from the bottom of our hearts.

There aren’t enough words to express how much I would recommend Misha at BournePaws.
After a careful and thoughtful process researching breeds, we decided on a British shorthair to join our family.
We started researching breeders, and at this point discovered a whole new world trying to navigate their websites, process and fees with much dismay.
We thankfully came across Misha at BournePaws, who’s website wasn’t only clear, but consise, already showing incredible care for her kittens, but also transparency and that ‘personal’ touch which we hadn’t experienced on other websites.
Upon messaging Misha 4 months before collecting our kitten, she was incredibly knowledgeable, caring and her process was like no other! Keeping us updated before the litter had been born and providing valuable advice before we picked up Phoebe. Her reservation process is fair and unlike other breeders and once reserved Misha provides personal updates and photos along the way.
We are now the proud owners of Phoebe, the most content, funny and well socialised little lady, which is a testament to how Misha brings these beautiful babies into the world.
Thank you for our beautiful Princess Phoebe

There is not enough words to say how much l would recommend Misha at Bournepaws for kittens and stunning cats, Misha is everything you would want in a breeder kind, extremely caring, has so much knowledge that not only helps her breed the purrfect kittens but shares this with anyone who is wanting to taking on one of her kittens/cats.
During the last few month while waiting for a kitten Misha has been available for any questions and supportive, then letting my daughter and l view Lilys kittens when they became available as well with updates on them before they became available making it very clear that the kittens health is priority before letting people make a choice. Her standard of care to the kittens and cats is absolutely wonderful. Just a week ago l took home Winne who is now Ruby and she is a pleasure to have loving, cuddly and a real bundle of fun ….and of course loves trying out everything a kittens thinks it might get away with ��. Ruby has made my empty house a home again.
Thank you so much Misha for letting me take on Winne and welcoming myself and Clare into your home. Wishing Bournepaws the all best in future litters .

I would highly recommend Misha and her family to anyone looking for a BSH kitten. After months of looking for the right breeder ( and having a lucky escape from some!) we found Bournepaws! Misha was so knowledgeable and kept us updated throughout. My favourite part of the week was receiving messages and pictures on how our gorgeous kitten was doing. We are now the proud owners of Max and I can honestly say he is perfect. As soon as we arrived at Misha’s house we knew he was so well socialised. He is such a loving, funny, beautiful cat and that’s all down the Misha’s care, attention and passion. Thank you for our lovely fur baby

I highly recommend Misha her and her family are so lovely
Misha has helped me with so many questions and advice. She has so much knowledge and is so helpful. And only the other end of the phone. She is everything you could want and need from a breeder. She has so much passion for what she does and you really can see that

Misha is and has been wonderful. Throughout the entire process, she has gone the extra mile to ensure that I’m content and satisfied. It’s clear that she loves her babies and her knowledge is second to none. All breeders should take note! We can’t wait to bring our little boy home now

Misha is absolutely brilliant!!
I picked up my baby from her a few days ago and what a pleasure this entire experience has been. She kept me updated with plenty of photos of videos almost daily which I loved.
You can see that she genuinely loves cats. I had the pleasure of meeting some of them when I went to fetch my baby.
My little Leo is perfection. He is confident and robust, friendly and loving. He has been well socialised and you can see he was loved by her and her family.
I would definitely recommend Misha and her Kittens.
Can’t wait for my next one.

I can’t recommend Bournepaws enough!! We didn’t think we’d ever find the perfect British shorthair kitten for us until we stumbled across Bournepaws and Misha introduced us to our new loving kitten - Titch. Titch started off a little smaller than the rest of his brothers and sisters but Misha soon had him catching up with them all! Misha kept us updated with Titch’s development and sent us frequent photos, so even though we weren’t able to visit Titch due to COVID, we still felt like we knew him already! We collected him yesterday and he is the most loving little chap, all thanks to Misha and her family for providing all the kittens with a loving and safe home to help these kittens grow. Thank you again Bournepaws

I cannot thank Misha enough for everything she does and continues to do for her cats and kittens! I am lucky enough to be the proud new owner of Bramble one of her British blues! Misha has given her self and her home to these beautiful animals! You couldn’t wish for a better place for them to grow. You’ll immediately feel at ease I could spend many more hours in their company. The time, effort and care put in to every detail and stage of the kittens development is amazing! Misha is always there for questions and is so knowledgeable! The cats and kittens have everything they could want or need for and I couldn’t recommend bournepaws enough! Thank you thank you thank you !

What can I say, absolutely can 100% recommend bournepaws as a top breeder. From when I first contacted Misha went above and beyond to keep me up to date with the kittens I bought from them. Due to covid we couldn’t visit etc but I never felt I missed out on any of them growing up as Misha gave me daily updates which I really appreciated. Can’t recommend enough to anyone thinking of buying a bsh kitten

This has been an amazing experience. Misha has updated me on my Little Bear and his progress with regular photos and videos. He is the most beautiful creature I can’t thank her and her family for making the months before I could bring him home exciting and informative. Misha provided the correct paperwork and vaccinations for him. I couldn’t be happier. Until next time. Thank you for everything.

We highly recommend Misha at Bourepaws for anyone looking to purchase a kitten. Since first contact Misha has been extremely informative and very supportive on our first journey to getting our Mabel.
We are completely over the moon with our Mabel and can't thank Misha enough for all the help she has given us.

I found Bournepaws via Facebook, having spoken on the phone to various breeders, I instantly connected with Misha due to her honesty, genuine desire to help and her love for cats.
This was 6months before our kittens were born. She has always been in contact with me, answering my questions and sending regular updates/ pictures and videos of the two kittens we chose.
For me, one of the most important reasons for choosing Bournepaws was the family feel and team love for the cats in a very clean and calm environment. When picking up our kittens, it was evident how much a part Misha’s husband and two children play in bringing up the cats and kittens to feel loved and bonded within their own family life.
We were able to see our kittens mother (who was beyond magical- to the extent we have named one of her daughters after her) and father along with all the other little kittens and other queens who were around and wanted to say hi, another quality from Bournepaws, I love how all the cats and kittens mingle and bond together.
We have now had our beautiful girls for 4 days and we all love them, I have a 2 year old and 5 year old daughter, currently one of our kittens is lying between my daughters on our sofa. Our other kitten is sprawled out on top of her cat tree. We could not be happier with our two beautiful and sweet natured kittens.
Misha continues to be on hand for any of my questions and now all of my pictures I am sending to her, so that Misha and her family can see their beautiful protégés enjoying their new home.
Thank you Bournepaws, Misha and family for the love you put into your breeding programme.
Lexi and family xx

what I can say? only positive things about Misha and her little business. actually is not a business . it's beautiful family. I came to Misha as a newbie with no knowledge about this breed and I just knew I want to give a go and try to give them as much as I can. she is, very kind and, professional. she will answer your questions anytime with no fuss even is, the most stupid question she will be there for you. her cats are absolutely gorgeous, they are all threaten as family cats. very friendly and good looking. she is open with you, and if is any concern she will go through with you.we get our Pyza last Friday and she is the most loving girl and healthy. I couldn't ask for anything more except another kitten which we already requested

What can we say...
Misha has been incredible from the moment I made contact back in June. We’ve been kept up to date very very regularly with videos and photos, which completely made up for not being able to visit them before collection. I felt like we knew them and we hadn’t even met them! Baloo and Nala are complete treasures and have settled very well. I couldn’t recommend Bournepaws enough and a thank you will never be enough

Do you know what.. I don’t even know where to start! Let me start by saying.. my kitten is the most loveliest natured kitten I’ve ever held in my arms and now I’m lucky enough to call it my own.. and I believe this is purely down to Bournepaws upmost attention and love they have given him in the last 12 weeks! My biggest worry was actually having him leave his lovely first home not ‘breeders’ because I knew he was having the best time and receiving such good care there. I got regular updates, photos and every question wasn’t ‘silly’. I even got a gift bag when I collected him and a pack to explain everything.. which I definitely needed! It seemed effortless! You really have to visit Bournepaws to really know what care and love is put into it but believe me they are treated like kings and queens! I really don’t think I’d have the same amazing experience during the weeks of waiting to take home, the day of taking him home and even now having such a gorgeous cat if it wasn’t for them. Thank you every single one of you.. especially the children for all of their love they give the cats. I’d one hundred percent recommend to anyone
thank you... love Jenna and of course Angus xx

Well what can i say....from start to finish my whole experience with Bournepaws has been incredible...Misha has the cleanest most amazing home for all the fur babies....each cat is treated like royalty and they really do get the best of the best!
If i had any questions Misha was always more than happy to help! i received regular updates on my new baby as well as pictures and videos so i could watch her grow!
i finally got to bring Dolly home this weekend and i was an emotional wreck...what a surprise to receive a gorgeous gift bag to bring with us as well!! Misha also talked me through all of Dolly's documents so at least i can almost sound like i know what i am talking about when asked about her pedigree!!!
like i said the whole experience was brilliant....Misha and the family are amazing and the pussy cats are all stunning i could not of asked for more, thank you so so much .. i know i wont be the only totally satisfied new parent
well done Bournepaws Xxx

We got our gorgeous Gus from Misha and he is absolutely adorable, such a sweet character. He is so loving but also is cheeky, he has to put up with continuous cuddles as he's too cute to leave alone!
It was a great experience with Misha as we have another BSH from another breeder and the experience was chalk and cheese.
I would not hesitate to get another kitten from Misha and would do now if my hubby would allow!
