There is nothing like the sweet, affectionate Persian lap cats that are famous for their flat faces, chubby cheeks, and large eyes. Persian cats are an unmistakable breed and are very popular in the United States for good reason.

If you are on the hunt for a Persian cat breeder in the Sunflower State, look no further! We have located four family-owned catteries specializing in Persians.

Since these are family-run catteries that may require waitlists for kittens, you can also look at breeders in neighboring states. We’ll also include some breeders from Kansas’ nearby states that don’t require too much traveling.
