Persian Cats for Sale in North Carolina: Breeders List 2026

By Ashley Bates · Updated on March 8, 2026

Excited Cats advocates for adopting before shopping, though we fully understand there are many reasons for seeking a breeder. So, we encourage it to be done the right way. We have not personally visited or investigated all of the breeders below. We have put the top-recommended all in one place for you to get in touch and make the best decision for you. Learn more about our stance and how to choose the right breeder here.

Persian cats are one of the oldest, most distinguished cat breeds. Their rich history is due to generations of beautiful specimens that changed slightly throughout their countries of influence. Today, the breed is still going strong, and there are a few designer cat breeds that use the Persian to create new looks.

If you live in North Carolina and are curious about breeders around you, we’ve done the hard work to help you out. Here’s a list of breeders in your state that you can contact about upcoming kittens.

The 2 Persian Cat Breeders in North Carolina

1. Whiskers of Flair Cattery

Salisbury, NC

Whiskers of Flair Cattery is in Salisbury, North Carolina. At this operation, they treat their cats as part of the family, raising all the felines in the home. The Persian kittens are well-socialized and pampered, and all parents are PKD and FeLV/FIV negative. Whiskers of Flair parent Persians are registered with the CFA.

2. Pawmetto Persians

Check pawnettopersians.com

Columbia, South Carolina

We added one more breeder that’s nearby in South Carolina. At the Pawnetto Persians cattery in Columbia, South Carolina, they produce long-haired kittens that are adorable and photogenic. These kittens live about 3 hours from the North Carolina border. There are tons of pictures of available kittens and past litters to examine. This cattery is CFA-registered with all FeLV/FIV negative kittens—guaranteed.

Conclusion

It can be challenging to find reputable Persian breeders close to where you live. However, if you do a bit a research, you might be lucky enough to find a couple within driving distance, and we hope providing a couple above has helped make that process even easier.
