To protect the health and well-being
I have worked so hard for, this cattery is closed to the public - meaning no access to my breeding cats and their areas or
my newborns, etc. I practice prevention - because you aren't the one paying my
veterinary bills should you bring something into my cattery.
Adopters will only handle the kitten/cat they
are interested in.
I rebathe the kitten/cat after a visit, etc. as well.
I do not offer outside stud service.

I am a " GREEN " Breeder,
which means raising naturally is priority here.
Program Objectives
* To produce purebred Persians that come as close as possible
to the written standard set forth by CFA through selective breeding practices.
* To keep this program pure. There are no Himalayn or Exotic
bloodlines within these pedigrees.
* To raise in a natural manner true to the design of the feline
mammal for optimal health.
The Goals
* To contribute a hardier Purebred Persian line
to the breed.
* To offer Persians of quality to breeders needing
a hardy outcross for an infusion of health into their program as well as mentoring new natural breeders.
* To offer to the educated, health concious,
discriminate pet owner, the option of a naturally raised purebred Persian.
* to help educate adopters & the public
on natural pet care.
Approach to Raising
* Herbal and Homeopathic health care with the
guidance of Holistic Veterinarians as well as through knowledge gained from my studies.
* A species appropriate diet.
* Natural forms of litter.
* Bathing and Grooming with as natural an approach
as possible.
* Using only natural cleaning methods &
strict husbandry.
Intimate Overview of My Program
........
We are free of Ringworm Fungus,
Mites, Earmites, Fleas, Worms, Giardia, HCM, all are PKD negative via DNA testing.
The cats also go
outside on nice days in enclosed areas. They need the fresh air, sunshine, to feel the ground, run on the grass,
etc. You will find emotional well-being has a huge impact on physical well-being and allowing them to be who they are,
enjoying the life they are entitled to - and designed for will improve their health.
These days, our homes are very toxic with all the chemical cleaners,
sprays, air fresheners, hair sprays, aerosols, chemicals in new rugs, the overuse of essential oils ( toxic to cats by the
way ) to "freshen the air" etc.
This certainly is a contributor to health issues. Spend more time
outdoors in the fresh air and enjoy the life you were all given. Regularly air out your homes & find
healthier, greener ways to clean and care for yourselves.

Those aspiring to become a breeder, a few things
to think about....
For the average person, you just cannot imagine entering into the Cat
Fancy and what it takes to be a quality breeder. It truly is a whole new world, one you never knew existed.
Everyone knows everyone - and who the responsible breeders are.
As a breeder, your goal should be to protect, improve and preserve the
breed - as well as educate those who adopt from you. You should certainly have a contract for each animal
you place to protect their future and to protect the adopter as well as yourself.
If you bring these animals into this world, you are responsible
for their welfare and are to ensure, to the best of your ability, that whoever you place them with will provide the
home they deserve. You should be supportive and available for assistance,
to those who adopt from you.
This is also an expensive endeavor - you'll get quite
an eye opener in that area. It is quite alot more involved than just having a few cute babies to raise.
I suggest some truly long, hard thought on the sacrifices, finances, necessary space, knowledge, and why you wish to become
a breeder - are your motives ethical and do you really care about these animals ?
You will be amazed at what you need to learn and the time
you have to invest. It takes alot of commitment to study and husbandry so I suggest you start out with showing
a cat in Premiership ( spay/neuter) and get a feel for everything first.
Health & nutrition come first in a program - that
should be your focus when starting out. After all, you have nothing without that foundation. You can also be wiped out
before you start if you do not study and educate yourself.
You will also need to be able to prove
to those whose cats you inquire about for your new program, that you are responsible and serious. You've got
to show your cats to have their quality judged to ensure you are breeding towards the standard. A quality animal is
hard to come by, we don't just give them to anyone.
Many breeders will also only place whole males in
Co - Ownership, some do this with all of their cats,
to further protect the future and welfare of each cat they produce.
It is commonplace for many of you to give up breeding
within the first 5 years after a few bad experiences - and they will happen so be prepared and study all you can on disease,
virus, healthcare, etc. The more prepared & educated you are before entering into a venture, the better
your judgement & experiences will be.
You cannot blame someone else for your lack of knowledge,
uneducated choices and bad experiences. That is why I suggest you take your time, get educated and go slowly.
Purebreds can be very hard to work with and on the flip side - it can also be very rewarding. It is not without
alot of hard work though.
"Keep away from people who try to belittle
your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
Mark Twain
