We are a small cattery out of the Southeastern countryside of Connecticut, USA. We have been raising and showing persian cats for almost 20 years. We specialize in Silver & Golden Persians for 16 years and just started to work with the rare tipping gene (silver/cameo) Turkish Angoras for the last 5 years. We solely work with the color silver but because some of our cats are golden or red carriers. We on an occasion produce a little Chinchilla or Shaded or Tabby Golden or Shaded Tortie kitten so please reserve early. What do all these colors mean? Check out our Color Wheel Article

The health and happiness of our cats are very important to us. We have all the cats/kittens tested for every disease known to date including FIP, FIV and DNA PKD tested negative for our persians which is a genetic kidney disease. Most of our Turkish Angoras are tested for HCM which is a genetic heart disease. We only work with the healthiest and friendliest of cats and sound bloodlines. We also provide the highest quality of food which include Bravo Meats and a variety of high quality dry foods depending on the cat or kitten.

Please take a look at the photos of our cats, read our FAQ articles, check out the show scenes and both nursery pages (Persian/Turkish Angora) for available cats and/or kittens while you are visiting this site. Do check this site often for monthly updates on new photos, available cats and/or kittens and show scenes.

If you are interested in more information about our cats and kittens or just about the Persian or Turkish Angora. Please feel free to contact us.

New and experienced breeders are ALWAYS welcome here!!

PROTECT YOUR ANIMAL LOVING RIGHTS!!

If you wish to receive healthy pedigree cats or dogs in the future please listen carefully. The Animal Rights groups such as PETA or other AR groups are trying to stop all breeding, showing and enjoyment of our beloved pets. There are legislation bills out in different parts of the US that will seriously effect our rights as loving and caring pet owners/fanciers. Here are some facts: They say the over pet population is caused by breeders when the fact remains especially in the feline population the unwanted pets are from feral cats/kittens that live in the streets or country side that produce aggressively or pet owners who don't believe in spay/neutering in which roam the streets and produce more unwanted kittens. Most of these cats are too sick, to feral to be handled and/or seriously injured to be able to go to loving homes. They are humanely euthanized to stop their suffering yet animal rights groups say it's the breeders. We breeders/fanciers have litters on a small scale and most of the time have loving homes waiting even before they are born. We also take responsibility of our beloved cats and have contracts to protect them. Most breeders will even spay/neuter all adults and kittens to save the new pet owner the trouble and secure our responsibility as breeders. There are about 6 million felines in the US and yet only 10 percent of them if that are pedigree cats. How does that effect the over pet population the legislation claims? How can you help is support the shelters, rescue groups and groups that have trap, spay/neuter and release programs to control the feral population.

As to dogs some of the laws or bills going into effect are effecting you as a pet owner regardless if you are a breeder or just a fancier of a breed. They have outrageous fines in place to hurt you even though you are responsible pet owner or keep you from even showing your dog like in agility or conformation shows because of leash laws.

To learn more about how to help as a caring pet owner or pedigree fancier. Here are some tips. The power of change is through numbers as well as knowledge. Your state senate and congress will not vote on something if the majority of the public doesn't agree. They will need your vote in the future so they must listen. Here are a list of links to websites that will give you the knowledge and important information you will need to fight these laws.

WARNING!!

Please be advised based on recent information and events from fellow cat lovers on the internet and for you're knowledge there is a serious scam going on the internet. The scammers are stealing photos off of websites, set up their own websites and offer kittens for sell. We advise you to take the extra steps to see the kitten/cat in person or get references from others before sending money transactions. We don't normally ship our kittens/cats but request the person to come to us instead. Some cases it's actually cheaper for the person to fly this way and gives you a peace of mind with the enjoyment of showing off your baby in the airport on your way home! If you feel you've been or about to be scam please contact us as we will try to help you with the resources we have available. We don't have all the answers but please be careful out there.

WARNING!! NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA!

WARNING: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TOY OR TEACUP PERSIAN! There have been quite a few websites with silver and golden persians popping up recently that claim to have toy or teacup size persians for extraordinary prices for pet quality cats with questionable healthy bloodlines ($2000-$4000!). Do to color selective breeding silvers and goldens have always been a smaller division than other divisions/color of persians because we can't really breed them to other colors freely without losing the special traits that makes them beautiful. Like another nationality or living on an island the silver and golden persian are different but NO different then the so called tea cup persian. An average silver or golden persian female weighs 5-6 pounds. An average silver or golden persian male weighs 7-9 pounds. Reputable breeders (those who show and are trying to improve the breed) are working to breed away from this small size as a persian should be a medium to large cat. However the unscrupulous are banking on it by misleading unsuspecting pet owners into thinking this trait is rare, coveted, or new, and charging exorbitant amounts of money for their kittens. Also from personal experience when having a kitten/cat that tiny they always seem to have serious long term health problems and don't live a long enough life span as large silver and golden persians do. Again go and see the kitten in person or ask for references from their vet before making a purchase and having a broken heart in the end.
