What are Persian cats like?
Persian cats are known for their luxurious, long, and silky coats. These cats have a calm and gentle temperament, making them great pets for families with children. Persian cats are affectionate and enjoy human companionship but also appreciate alone time. They are adaptable to other pets and prefer a calm environment.
Weighing between 7-12 pounds and up to 11 inches in height, Persian cats have a round, sturdy build. Their fur can come in a variety of colors, including black, white, cream, and blue, among others. Registered Persian breeders will have kittens for sale with different coat patterns and colors. It’s important to note that Persian cats require regular grooming to maintain their coat’s health and beauty.
FAQs when considering Persian cats
How much do Persian cats cost?
As a sought-after breed, Persian kittens for sale cost between $500 and $5,000. A cat’s price is based on its pedigree, coat quality, age, health and vaccination history. If an Persian cat’s parents are show-winning, they can be even more expensive.
What should I ask to choose the right Persian breeder?
While there are many people who claim to be ethical Persian breeders, not all hold a standard that you can feel great about. Asking some relevant questions about their philosophy will ensure you avoid Persian breeders that do this only for financial gain, not having the interests of the cats or you in mind. Make sure you ask about:
- Health history of the parents and vaccinations. They should have their first vaccinations by the time they're adopted.
- Whether they've bred their Persians with other breeds (they should disclose this and it would make it not a purebred lien.
- Have the socialized the kitten among other kittens?
- Do they belong to a Persian breed club? You can ask for references from the club.
Why does it matter if I buy from a registered Persian breeder?
When you buy from a registered Persian breeder (with either their local club, governing body, or TICA), that ensures that a standard of care and expertise is enforced. You can ask them about a wide range of topics such as the Persian’s genealogy, the right kitten for you, common health problems with Persians to look out for. We offer additional registration through our Cat Kingpin Certified program as well, although it's not a replacement for other registrations.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
