FAQs when considering Persian Cats

How much do Persian Cats cost in Kentucky?

As a sought-after breed, Persian Cats for sale in Kentucky 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.

Do Persian cats have any health problems?

Persian cats may be prone to certain health issues due to their flat face and long coat. One of the most common concerns is breathing problems, which can occur when the nostrils are too small or the airways are too narrow. Persian cats may also be more susceptible to eye problems, such as tear duct blockages and eye infections. Additionally, their long coat may be prone to matting and skin irritation, which can lead to skin infections. It’s important to work with a reputable breeder and provide your Persian cat with regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and proper grooming to help promote good health.

What should I ask to choose the right Persian Cat breeder?

While there are many people in Kentucky who claim to be ethical Persian Cat breeders, not all hold a standard that you can feel great about. Asking some relevant questions about their philosophy will ensure you avoid Persian Cat 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 Persian Cats 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 Kentucky Persian Cat breed club? You can ask for references from the club.

Why does it matter if I buy from a registered Persian Cat breeder?

When you buy from a registered Persian Cat breeder (with either their local Persian Cat club, governing body, or TICA/CFA), 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 Cat’s genealogy, the right kitten for you, common health problems with Persian Cats 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.
