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.
The dignified and docile Persian kitten is well-known for being quiet and adorable. The cats might not be quick to scratch, but that doesn’t mean they will not become annoyed when bothered by noisy kids or pets. However if you treat the Persian cat with the gentleness and dignity they deserve, you will get a friendly lap kitty who enjoys cuddling.
Finding a Persian cat breeder can be difficult, but if you live in Connecticut, you can choose a breeder on this list, as each specializes in the breed and understands their character traits and how to care for the kittens.
The 4 Persian Kitten Breeders in Connecticut
1. Lilac Farms Custom Cattery
West Hartford, CT
Lilac Farms Custom Cattery specializes in the Persians and Himalayans. Lilac Farms is a non-caged, closed cattery whose felines reside indoors only and practice the best healthcare standards. Lilac Farms foundation felines (the first cattery breeding) have been tested and found negative for Feline Leukemia, FIV, PKD, and Ringworm.
All their kittens and cats are vaccinated and seen regularly by a licensed vet, and each kitten is raised in their historic Connecticut Estate. Their kittens are kept with them until at least 15 or 18 weeks. This extended stay produces the best type of kitty.
They sell all their kittens under contract with a rigid spray and neuter agreement. All kittens who leave them will have a three-course Pyrantel treatment, which is a deworming medication.
2. 1st Towne Persians
Windsor, CT
Created in August 2015, 1st Towne Persians is a CFA-registered cattery in Historic Windsor, CT. The name 1st Towne was obtained because Windsor, CT, was the first town established in Connecticut.
In their cattery, 1st Towne Persians are dedicated to helping improve the Persian breed and developing quality bi-color and solid Persians. Their cats are their family. They live in their home and are not caged.
Before developing their cattery, the owner spent many years furthering his education on Persian breeds, from health concerns related to Persians to proper grooming and how to create a cattery.
They reserve the right of refusal or cancellation for the sale of any kitten or cat at any time with no explanation before delivery. If a deposit has been paid, it will be refunded, and the contract will be canceled without further obligation to the buyer.
