Be prepared with the following information about your pet to facilitate admission:
name, age, spay / neuter status,
breed,
current problem and duration
of that problem,
current medications and estimated time
of arrival.
Four outcomes are possible: the original
breed (less plushly furred) will be restored (unlikely, the
current British Shorthair is widespread); there will be two British Shorthair
breeds (possible, but a new
name will be needed e.g. Irish Shorthair); the Scottish and Irish cats will be introduced into British Shorthair bloodlines (unlikely, breeders are too jealous
of the purity
of their bloodlines); or the
breeding of the Scottish / Irish cats will lapse due to lack
of interest.
