Catster 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.
It is easy to fall in love with Persian cats due to their adorable fluffiness and docile nature. These dignified cats are affectionate pets that enjoy being lap cats. A show Persian has a flat nose, big eyes, a round head, and a short body with a long, flowing tail. Traditional Persians, known as Doll Faces, don’t have the same squat features as the show cat and have a regular nose. Both types of Persians have long, beautiful coats that come in a variety of patterns and colors.
We’ve compiled a list of reputable breeders in Virginia to help you find the perfect Persian kitten for your family.
The 4 Persian Kitten Breeders in Virginia
1. Art In Motion Persians
📍 Tidewater, VA
Art In Motion is a hobby cattery with all the cats being raised in the home setting. It has been recognized for over a decade as a Cat Fancier’s Association (CFA) Cattery of Excellence due to its exceptional standard of care for its cats. Art In Motion only has a few litters each year due to the small size of their cattery. They screen adopters to find permanent loving homes for their extreme-faced kittens. At 12 weeks, the kittens are seen by a vet and receive a microchip, vaccines, including rabies, and a health certificate. Art In Motion also socializes their cats and begins litter box training.
Prices can vary based on color pattern, gender, bloodline, and conformation. All new owners receive the CFA and/or TICA papers, microchip registration paperwork, health records and certificates, and a week’s supply of food.
