Persians, Chinchilla Persians, and Himalayans are considered a brachycephalic breed, meaning they are flat-faced they will have ocular (eye) discharge, also referred to as rusting. They need to have their faces cleansed and wiped routinely.
Brachycephalic breeds are not able to be shipped via Air Cargo and must be accompanied on the airplane by their human pet nanny or new adoptive family member.
PKD is Polycystic Kidney Disease and leads to a short lifespan in cats. Certain breeds have a higher prevalence of PKD than others. There is no cure for PKD. Current treatment is only palliative care.
PRA is Progressive Retinal Atrophy and is a degenerative disease that affects the photoreceptor cells. With PRA, the cells deteriorate over time and eventually lead to blindness in cats. Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting or deterioration of a body part.
We require you to sign a contract that specifically spells out what our health guarantee offers and what we expect from you.
Our kittens are all sold with a spay or neuter agreement. This simply means you are contractually obligated to spay or neuter your new kitten if you are adopting your kitten as a “Pet Only,” i.e., no breeding rights, before receiving the CFA kitten purebred registration number and paperwork.
The right to breed is not automatic. there is an additional fee for breeding rights.
Persian, Chinchilla Persian, and Himalayan cats require routine and regular coat maintenance such as brushing and bathing.
Persian, Chinchilla Persian, and Himalayan cats are not acclimated to extreme cold and extreme heat and should not be allowed outdoors in extreme temperatures.
Persian, Chinchilla Persian, and Himalayan cats are indoor animals, not to be allowed outdoors. They lack the skill and temperament to defend themselves against other cats, dogs, and predators.
Persian cats come in a range of colors (Himalayan is a Color Division of Persian cats), see CFA standards Information on the site.
Some Persians have blue eyes, some have copper eyes and some have green eyes. Some Persians have “odd eyes – OE” meaning one eye is copper and one eye is blue.
The Color division for Himalayan – must have blue eyes.
Persians have long, luxurious, thick coats. Our breeding program DOES NOT include Exotic Short Hair, they do not meet CFA standards.
Persian cats are known for their sweet, gentle, and calm demeanor and they make excellent companions and great emotional support animals.
We ask that you make an appointment to meet our kittens. Our kittens are raised in our home at our sides, on our laps (and sometimes on the floor between our feet!), and they receive love and attention from day one. We say they are “spoiled”.
We reserve the right to refuse the adoption of our kittens to anyone we feel does not have the best interest of our kitten in mind.
