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.

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.
