The 5 Persian Kitten Breeders in South Carolina
1. Catsparadise

While this hobby breeder doesn’t specialize in Persians, it does occasionally have them. It might be a bit of a slim chance, but no harm checking on what they have available! Catsparadise focuses on producing healthy, active kittens who are PKD negative.

This breeder has several glowing reviews, like this one: “My experience with Cat’s Paradise was excellent. Julie was very conscientious and accommodating.” A bonus of this breeder is that they will deliver kittens to out-of-state parties for an additional fee.

- Columbia, SC
This small cattery has been a breeder of Persians and Himalayans for over 25 years. They specialize in lilac and chocolate Persians but do have other colors available. CatzR4Me only offers litters a few times a year, as they spend quality time with each litter to ensure they are well-socialized before they go to their forever homes. Kittens are given at least one round of vaccinations before they can be acquired and come with a health record. CatzR4Me is a closed cattery, so you can’t go by to pick out a kitten, but you can pick from available ones online. While you’re waiting to get your new kitten, the cattery will send you updated photos via text, email, or Facebook.
