" The smallest feline is a masterpiece "
Leonardo Davinci
I am a Holistic breeder, raising 1-3 litters per year. And while I cannot show
as much as many breeders because I have to work so many odd hours - I have produced some fabulous cats. I look
forward to the day I am in a position that showing will not be so limited to me.
In the meantime, the refinement and health of my program will be priority.

____________________________
Now, you cannot have a Persian, and not be prepared.
Especially if you've never owned one before or you are new.
I want to make sure you have the supplies you need so
you can properly take care of my precious babies
whether they are Pet, Breeder or Show.
I'm famous for giving this awesome....
Kitten Care Bag
( If shipping a cat, I will not send the
bag of litter due to the extra cost in weight - you'll receive coupons instead. )
This next photo below shows an essential part
of your Kitten Care Bag - your Kitten Folder.
I didn't take it all out, but wanted to show some of it in a photo.
In this folder are your medical records, Kitten Care pages, your contract, Health fact sheets on common feline ailments,
Vital signs and emergency care, Pet Health Insurance information, Holistics, Vaccine Information, etc. There are
also a number of brochures, some coupons for food & litter, photos of the parents and their PKD & Blood Type results.
I also print a Pedigree for every kitten placed - those going to Breeder/Show homes will go with registration as well.
Pet Quality only receive a pedigree.
The next photo below, shows the food. Adopters
picking up their kitten in person, receive a container of approx. 24 oz. of Feline Instincts
prepared raw diet - lasts 2-3 days, give or take - which you can see in the middle. It will be either Beef/Lamb or Chicken/Turkey,
whichever they are currently on, I rotate the raw diet they eat every 3 weeks.
Sitting on top of the food container, is the Feline
Instincts canister of supplement powder & Salmon Oil capsules I give adopters as well. It makes
a batch of food that will last about 2 weeks tops with one of my kittens ( they can eat ! ). I also give my
adopters a few cans of the natural canned diets I useFor kittens - Nature's Logic, Nature's Variety Prairie, and Wysong
if I have some - you can blend these into the raw diet for variety. I realize not everyone will continue with making a raw
diet, so I scoured through many varieties for the best canned in my opinion. My adults are strictly on raw, but kittens
are raised with the raw/canned so adopters have choices. I still urge to add a few strips of raw meat to the canned - it is
their natural diet as they are a carnivore by nature and design.
I bet you're asking what I do when I ship a cat if I feed
them a raw diet ???? See the two foil bags on either side in the photo - that is freeze dried raw - how fabulous
is that ! I use either Nature's Variety or Wysong freeze dried raw diets - bag some up for shipping with the cat.
I also use it for treats here - the cats just love it and it is better than all that carbohydrate/ sugar, by-product, chemical laden
stuff on the market. It is all meat - and quite a tasty treat ! I take the big chunks out for treats - the
small shreds are used when I ship a cat.
Here's a close-up below, of the freeze dried raw diet
I package up and attach to the carrier,
when shipping a cat.
Again, it is also the healthy treat of choice here,
the cats just love it.

Adopted
Crystal Pond's Gin Rummy
Rummy has the wonderful traits I strive for in my program
which are hard to keep .........
Rich color, huge poppy eyes of a lovely, deep
copper & great nostrils - breathes well, will not be a " wheezy " Persian.
He's nice and cobby with a wonderful personality - extremely expressive
face.
Plans are for him to be shown in the Southern Region so
be on the look out !
My Persians are placed with a contract to protect all
involved.
Breeding rights are only given to qualified Breeders who
are currently registered as a ligitimate breeder/cattery in good standing with the registry they are affiliated.
I remain as Co-Owner of my Breeder/Show males
placed with breeders.
I do not support or encourage "backyard breeding"
as you have no idea the health issues you could contribute to a breed by doing so. You also have no idea the problems that
you will encounter in all aspects of raising and you can be easily wiped out - at huge financial and emotional loss.
Only qualified, educated, registered Breeders should be
breeding purebreds to preserve, contribute to and protect the breeds. Those who aspire to be a "Breeder" are certainly
welcome to inquire - you must go about it the correct way.
Persians I place in pet / companion homes,
are required to be
spayed / neutered before CFA registration papers will
be transferred, per contract.
All of my retired cats are Spayed / Neutered before I
place them in loving homes, to fulfill my contract obligations owed to the breeders I acquired them from.
**When you sign a contract - you willingly agree to and
are expected to adhere to its terms. If you are not a shady person, you will have no problem with a contract.
Understand :
Acquiring the bloodlines, quality and health to work with as well as raising these cats is extremely costly and
time consuming.
It is a 24/7 undertaking, dedication
and sacrifice only a breeder knows.
There is no such thing as cheap and if that
is what you are looking for.........
< I
have nothing for you >
I recommend you visit your local rescues/shelters.
Or, if you want, go to a cheap, shoddy breeder, plenty
of them out there - but beware, you will pay alot more in the end than if you had
dealt with a reputable breeder in the first place ;-)
Important
: Please be respectful of my time when I arrange
my schedule to set an appointment for you. I have to set aside a full day to bathe, groom, ready paperwork, etc.
With 3 different work obligations, time is very precious to me
and it is extremely hard to rearrange my schedule. If you are not one to be considerate enough to give me
at least a full day notice of appointment cancellation, look elsewhere - someone else can have the "pleasure".
Please leave your "pawprint" in
my Guestbook, your comments / thoughts are appreciated.
I
suggest potential adopters and pet owners in general visit my Alternative/Holistic pages on this site to help you raise a
healthier animal.
I've done all the legwork, spent a fortune educating myself
and I am happy to share and save you endless searches and time. You'll see exactly how I raise, what I use, etc.
All Kittens / Retired
adults will have a full health exam before they leave here for peace of mind for all
involved. You will also receive a generous Care Bag
and a large Kitten Folder of information. My adopters are well taken care of, I supply quite alot compared to anyone
else.
Contracts are
to be with the original adopter / owner only. I reserve right of refusal for any cat / kitten offered on this website at
any time for any reason.
Keep in mind, while my kittens / cats are vet checked before going to new homes and
guaranteed to be in good health, their continued good health lies in your hands. Cheap commercial foods excessive
vaccine & drug use, chemical filled litters, cleaners, topical flea controls, etc. can cause many health
issues. I can't make someone raise naturally and I am not responsible for your choices.
I work extremely
hard at raising for healthier Persians. They are not immune to health issues but any health issues they should
have are very minor due to being raised naturally - as long as you keep raising them naturally.
Please understand that I expect
my placed kittens/cats to have a permanent home with you. Go to my Rescue page and log onto rescue sites and see the
fate I want them to avoid.
My concerns are that any cats
I produce or adopt and retire, go to loving, financially stable, and responsible homes. The physical
and emotional health and well-being of any cats adopted from Crystal Pond is extremely important to me. I am responsible
for these animals and I will only place in homes I feel meet these criteria.
Do not
inquire for a kitten as a gift - it is not wise unless the person on the recieving end knows this will be a gift
and is willing to take on a Persian as these animals require alot more care. I require original owners
be the one to agree to the terms of the contract, etc.
I know you may also want
a certain color but if your personalities clash it will not be an ideal home for one of my cats. Personalities have
to be matched or the cat may not have a permanent home. Getting to know you will help me with offering you a kitten/cat
who will be just perfect for you. Some people want an active cat and some want more of a lap cat. Kittens
are usually playful and rambunctious the first year so perhaps you may want a retired adult that is out of the kitten phase
?? Many other factors come into play that are usually beyond our control when it comes to an animal
having a permanent home with someone, but a caring breeder can eliminate the the common reasons through
screenings.
