BearMary Cattery - Ottawa, Ontario

Rooo

I recently got a British Shorthair kitten from this cattery, and I couldn’t be happier! He is absolutely super adorable, very friendly, and clearly well taken care of. 🐾

The cattery is extremely responsible and professional. Before picking up the kitten, they kept me updated regularly with photos and progress. During the pickup process, I ran into a few issues, and they were incredibly helpful and patient, making sure everything went smoothly until the kitten was safely home.

Even after bringing the kitten home, they’ve continued to respond to my questions quickly and with care. You can really tell they love their cats and want the best for them. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience with Bearmary Cattery! Anna, the retired queen I adopted, is such a sweet and well-adjusted cat — it’s clear she has been raised with great care and love. The cattery was always responsive and answered my questions promptly, which made the whole process smooth and reassuring. Truly grateful for their professionalism and dedication.

I had a great experience with BearMary. The breeder is very responsive to questions and provides excellent aftercare. When my cat had diarrhea, they took her back for treatment and later arranged her spay surgery, caring for her throughout recovery. Now, she’s healthy, gentle (though a bit naughty at times!), and loves relaxing next to me on the sofa. I also appreciate their 2-week free hosting service since I'm based in Ottawa and may sometimes need to travel for extended periods. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a responsible and caring breeder!

This is a thank-you post.

First, I want to clarify that I DID NOT buy my kitten from BearMary Cattery — he was purchased from somewhere else. I’m adding this because I don’t want anyone to misunderstand and think BearMary sold me a sick kitten.

A month ago, my kitten (just over 2 months old) became lethargic and stopped eating. I took him to the emergency vet and was told he had severe anemia — a blood transfusion was the only way to save his life. The cost was between $7,000 and $10,000 CAD, and his pet insurance hadn’t taken effect yet since I had just brought him home. That amount was very difficult for me to afford, so I posted on Red Note app, asking if there was any alternative to a transfusion.

BearMary Cattery replied to me and suggested I try GS-441 to check if it was FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). At that point, it felt like my only hope, so I decided to take the risk. Just two days later, my kitten started eating and grooming again. He’s still undergoing treatment now, but doing very well.

During this time, I’ve reached out to BearMary Cattery for every follow-up or new issue that came up, and they always responded patiently and kindly — even sending me GS-441 tablets to help.

Again, I want to emphasize: I didn’t even buy a cat from them. And still, they were so willing to help me. I’m beyond grateful. They truly helped save my kitten’s life.

BearMary Cattery has extensive experience with kittens, the cats they breed are absolutely adorable, and the people there are incredibly patient and caring. They also work with dedicated veterinarians and Trupanion insurance company. If you’re looking to get a kitten, you can feel completely confident choosing this cattery. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience with BearMary. From the moment I reached out, they were incredibly responsive, informative, and kind. It was obvious that they are dedicated to raising healthy, happy kittens. Every kitten is treated with love and care. My furry cutie is well-adjusted, playful, and has already brought so much joy into my life. Highly recommend BearMary to anyone looking for a quality cat breeder!

The kittens I brought home is absolutely perfect—healthy, well-socialized, and with a wonderful temperament. You can tell she was raised in a loving, nurturing environment. The breeder provided detailed information about feeding, care, and even followed up after the adoption to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would absolutely recommend here to anyone looking for a high-quality, ethical cat breeder. Thank you for helping me find my new best family members !

We bought our beautiful British shorthair baby from them this May. They were super professional and happily walked us through the entire process!! We live in Vancouver so they had our boy shipped over via Canada Air freight and coordinated everything for us. Even after taking delivery they continued to be super helpful, always answering questions and concerns that came up even several months after purchase. Not to mention they even gave us a super cute & personalized photo album of our little boy!! We have bought cats from several breeders throughout Canada, the US, and Europe and they have been by far the best and most pleasant to work with!!

八月份在BearMary定下了非常喜欢的宝宝，是由最喜欢的Luna和Teddy共同繁育的。10月份在宝宝绝育后就送来了，小猫性格非常好，和家里的原住民相处的也很和谐。非常感谢BearMary～o(^▽^)o

I was ordered my favorite kitten from BearMary in August, which was bred by Luna and Teddy, my favorite pair. The kitten arrived in October after being neutered and has a wonderful personality. It’s been getting along great with the other pets at home. Huge thanks to Bearmary!
