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.

With their lush coats and signature smooshed faces, Persians are one of the most popular of all purebred cat breeds. In Illinois, Persian lovers have a few different breeders to choose from, located in various parts of the state.

As you search for just the right Persian kitten to join your family, remember to pay attention to not only what colors you have to choose from (lots!) but also the environment your new cat is raised. Persians are prone to several health conditions, and you want a breeder who prioritizes producing healthy kittens.
