The Persian Cat
The Persian cat is one of the most beautiful cats with a long, luxurious coat. Owning a Persian gives one the same gratification as owning a beautiful work of art. Persians are noted for their gentle temperament and ease with which they adjust to new environments, making them ideal show cats. In my opinion, Persians are fully aware of how beautiful they are. These beautiful cats have a sweet, gentle personality, with a quiet, seldom heard melodious voice. They are tremendously responsive and communicate with their large expressive eyes. Playful but not demandingly so, and although not shy, they do tend to be undemonstrative. Their gentle temperament allows then to adjust to new environments with ease, making them ideal show cats. They are renowned for their special cat/owner relationship, which is close and enduring. They are quite loving and affectionate and make wonderful companions, and come in a variety of colors.
The Persian cat has graced the show scene for more than 100 years. Judges and spectators have been impressed with their sweet, gentle nature and long flowing coats which occur in multitude of colours and patterns.
"The ideal Persian should present an impression of a heavily boned, well balanced cat with a sweet expression and soft, round lines. The large round eyes set wide apart in a large round head contribute to the overall look and expression. The long thick coat softens the lines of the cat and accentuates the roundness in appearance."

Quality Of Persians
We want buyers to understand the differences between classes to better understand the price range. We are a very small cattery working with top bloodlines, and above all top health. Producing very few litters in a year only breeding to advance our bloodline and the breed as a whole. Wishing for a kitten from our cattery means you may have to wait a short time. But l'm a firm believer in that anything worth while haveing is worth waiting for, and you always get what you pay for. My prices are fair and the going rate today.
PET QUALITY : $400-$600.00
Pets are always sold with a spay/neuter contract. Our definition of a pet kitten is one that does not meet the set down standard of the breed.
BREEDER QUALITY: $700-$800.00
Our definition of a breeder is one that has some good qualities and lines. When this cat is bred to a Top quality cat, it should produce better quality kittens.
BREEDER/SHOW QUALITY: $900-$1,000
These cats meet the set down standard for the breed, and should receive Championship status. They may even possibly go on to Grand Championship, depending on maturity, grooming, and proper maintenance.
SHOW QUALITY: $1,000-$1,800 [more if shown]
These cats meet the standard to a tee and should in our opinion go on to recieve Grand Championship. Once again, depending on maturity, grooming, and proper maintenance. These are our very best kittens and therefore only go to good showing homes and good breeding programs.
