About British Shorthairs
The British Shorthair is a medium-sized cat and a short coat. Those two things — the space it needs and the exercise or grooming it expects — matter more day to day than the breed label itself, especially with rescue cats, where many are crosses.
Shelter breed labels in Australia are usually a visual guess rather than a DNA result, so a cat listed as a British Shorthair may well be a cross. That is worth knowing before you rule a listing in or out: temperament and the individual cat's history tell you far more than the name on the card.

Are these British Shorthairs for sale in Queensland?
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every British Shorthair here comes from a Queensland-area rescue rather than a breeder or a classified seller, and the adoption fee already covers desexing, vaccination and microchipping. That fee is typically a few hundred dollars, against often several thousand from a breeder with none of the vet work done. If you searched "british shorthair for sale queensland", adopting gets you a vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
