Our breeding Persian cats stay up-to-date on all their healthcare needs, including regular veterinary exams, FVRCP vaccinations, and supplements tailored to each cat’s individual requirements. We strive to ensure that each of our cats and kittens has every chance of a happy and healthy life, bringing joy and hope to their new families.

 

Our 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee

Our 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee

Each of our Persian kittens comes with a 1-year genetic health guarantee. Our kittens are protected against the genetic conditions of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) for their first year of life, two of the most prevalent health conditions in the Persian breed.

We take extensive precautions to minimize the risk of genetic disorders by testing every cat in our breeding program prior to breeding. Although this genetic testing does not guarantee that your kitten will never develop HCM or PKD, it significantly reduces the risk.

We are committed to providing you with a healthy, happy companion and peace of mind for the future.

Our 72-Hour Health Guarantee

Fully outlined in our Persian Adoption Contract

Each of our Persian kittens comes with a 72-hour health guarantee. Our kittens are protected for 72 hours against FIV, FeLV, and other serious, life-threatening health issues. If a licensed veterinarian determines that your kitten has FIV, FeLV, or another serious, life-threatening health condition within this period, we offer a refund upon the return of the kitten.

To maintain the validity of this guarantee, your kitten must remain quarantined from all other pets and animals during the 72-hour period. This ensures the health and safety of your new family member.

We are dedicated to providing you with a healthy, happy companion and peace of mind as you welcome your Persian kitten into your home.
