Our Cattery

    Silver ’N Gold Persians and Glamour Cats has been working through selective breeding the past 10 years to develop beautiful Silver and Golden Persians with light brilliant coats and large green or blue-green eyes and sweet and affectionate personalities. We have just added the Himalayan Persians with baby blue eyes. We lovingly and tenderly raise our kittens with great care. Here you will find quality and glamourous pet kittens ready to be adopted as your sweet baby and dearest companion! They are vet examined and guaranteed healthy when they leave here. If you cannot find the kitten you want, fill out the application and it will place you on an email list. We will contact by email when a kitten is available.

Understanding the sizes:

Approximate size ranges for Persians

Standard Male 9-15 pounds    Standard Female 8-13 pounds

The Teacup size

Yes, the teacup size exists. It is a small or tiny persian that consistently produces tiny persians.The CFA has not recognized this as a breed, but this size still exists.

In the horse world, there are miniature horses, ponies, regular sized horses, and huge draft horses. All these sizes exist whether or not an organization has recognized them.

Our tiny teacups are wonderful. If you want a small size, you will love these.

The Colors

The Silver Persians -- Shaded and Chinchilla

The Silvers are white-looking cats that have black eyeliner, pink noses with black nose liner, and black paw pads. They look like they have make-up on. All Silvers have black tipping along their backs. Shaded Silvers have more tipping and Chinchilla Silvers have less. Most of our cats are light shaded silvers.

The Golden Persians -- Shaded and Chinchilla

The Goldens are a new and beautiful color. Goldens are blond cats with green or blue-green eyes and chocolate paw pads and tipping or black paw pads and tipping. They have pink noses with nose liner and dark eye liner and also look like they have makeup on. They can be Shaded Golden or Chinchilla Golden. They are gorgeous and rare.

The Golden Tabby and the Brown Tabby Persians

We also have Gold tabbies or Brown tabbies for adoption as well. They are also beautiful and have a “tiger” look about them. Tabby means the striped look.

The Snow White Persians- some with Baby Blue eyes!

Silver ’N Gold also offers wonderful Snow White Persians with green, blue, or golden eyes. Some even have bi-eyes with one green and one blue! White cats differ from silvers, as they are snow white with no tipping or eyeliner, and their paw pads are pink. These colors are rare and not easy to produce. For example, we may only get one blue-eyed white kitten per year! If that is what you are looking for, be sure you are pre-qualified and ready to adopt your baby.

The Cameo Persian -- Shaded and Chinchilla

Coming soon, Silver ’N Gold will also offer Cameo Persians. A cameo is a "white" cat with red or orange tipped fur and pink paw pads. They look like “red” silvers. We will also offer Red CPC Persians.

The Himalayans

Also, Silver ’N Gold Glamour Cats is now offering beautiful Flame point, Seal point, Tortie point, and Lynx point Himalayans. Wow! What beautiful blue eyes and stunning colors for the most beautiful and sweetest of pets! We also have gorgeous solid colored persians. Red, cream, blue-cream, and a wonderful array of the finest choices!

All our cats are registered with the Cat Fancier's Association and guaranteed healthy when adopted. (The only exception for registration is the Designer kitten which is from CFA registered cats and outstanding pedigrees).We offer both doll-faced and extreme-faced persians. Most of our breeding cats have been shown at a cat show and won the championed status or produce championable quality kittens. Some are championable or grandable but have not been shown to acheive those awards, yet! All cats and kittens that we ship have been given a thorough physical exam and awarded a health certificate by a certified veterinarian. Kittens are usually offered for reservation on-line at 8 weeks of age or sooner and adopted between 12-24 weeks. In order to insure our quality kittens are strong and healthy, we insure that our kittens are 12 weeks old before we adopt them via shipment to their new homes. Please pre-register at the on-line application so we can inform you when new kittens are available!

Personalities

Persian and Himalayan cats are very quiet and well mannered cats and generally stay on the floors or may visit a couch or bed with you. They make great companions for apartment dwellers or mansion dwellers. They are very trusting and sweet natured and may not resist maltreatment from young children. So they must be protected from rough handling. They are very cuddly and will cozy up to you. Some are very affectionate and will climb in your lap to visit. Others just come along side you for affection.

The American Shorthairs

Also new are our stunning Black and Silver Classic Tabby and Blue Classic Tabby All American Shorthairs. They are low maintenance, super stylish, very active and full of fun!

Our Amazing All American Shorthairs are much more lively than Persians or Himalayans and may run all around your home and play all over your furniture as well as with you, your children, or your dog. These cats are an incredible amount of fun! They are full of mischievious personality and are always looking for some fun creative thing to play and do. If you are looking for a playmate for your children these are really fun kittens and make sturdy, easy to care for playmates.

Now we have something New!   

Rare Golden Exotic Persians!

As of Spring 2008, we will be offering Rare Golden Exotic Persians! These are Persians with short hair! Afraid of all that grooming! Here you have the same sweet cat without the maintenance of the longhaired Persian! Wait till you see the kittens! We will have both doll faced and extreme available. The Extreme exotic golden kittens may be grandable! (-for those of you interested in the show ring!

Declawing:

Some people want to declaw a very active cat to prevent damage to the furniture. However, we recommend that you provide a cat tree or carpeted stand and see if the cat leaves your furniture alone before you ever consider declawing. Declawing is a brutal and extreme surgery. Persians rarely need declawed.

Neutering or Spaying:

All cats or kittens purchased without breeding rights must be neutered or spayed. Active hormones of unneutered cats, whether male or female, attract territorial marking. Adopting one of our cats requires agreement to spay or neuter by 6 months.This will prevent territorial marking. Some of our cats will already be neutered before purchase. We reccomend that you not neuter before 4 months to insure the safety of the kitten from the surgical procedure. All cats must be kept safely in doors. This will prevent contagious diseases and physical dangers to your valuable cat.

Grooming

All Persians and Himalayans have full and beautiful coats, however they do require regular grooming. Persians and Himalayans must be bathed once a month and combed daily to prevent matting. If severe matting occurs they can be shaved to a "lion cut" by a professional groomer.

If you are not interested in the maintenance requirements of the longer hair, we recommend that you consider an Exotic Persian or an American Shorthair.

Breeding Rights

Breeding rights will be given to selected catteries for an additional cost. This must be discussed before the adoption of the cat or no breeding rights will be available. It is never acceptable to adopt a cat and breed it without purchasing breeding rights. Breeding rights may not be allotted to cats with the bluegreen eye color. Breeding rights may be allotted to other colors for an additional $1000. -- $2000. fee depending on the type of cat. Registration papers are adapted to reflect the intentions of the purchaser, so that the Cat Fancier's Association will not give registrations to kittens purchased without breeding rights.

Kitten Birthing

Each queen and king in our cattery is extremely valuable and carefully provided for and each kitten is a work of art. We carefully time and labor to provide the highest quality conditions for maternity care and delivery of our kittens. Each kitten is extremely precious and we do everything possible to insure their health and safety as kittens.

When you receive a gorgeous cat or kitten it has been expertly cared for individually by hand and received many hours of constant loving care.

Adoption Prices

The prices for pet kittens generally range from $1000-2500.(excluding shipping costs), depending on the rarity of the features.  Prices shown online may not include shipping in continental USA to major airports, the cost of the airline approved cat carrier, the first veterinarian inspection, current age-appropriate immunizations, and the health certificate. Those costs generally run an additional $300. All kittens or cats shipped will be examined by a veterinarian before leaving and need to be examined again by your vet to have a double guarantee on their health on arrival. All possible care will be given to sending a kitten free from any infectious diseases. You will have a healthy kitten!

Retiring pet Queens price at $200-$500. (excluding shipping costs), depending on the age and the quality of the cat. The retiring queens are the best and finest of our cats. That is why they are used as queens for breeding! They have the most beautiful personalities and they are the most beautiful cats! They are retired to make way for a new queen to be added to the cattery. We are very attached to our queens and want very good homes for them.

An older queen is a delightful gift to a Mother or Grandmother that loves cats! They are quiet, well-mannered and easy to care for, very affectionate, and extremely beautiful when in full coat. They make a great Mother's Day or Valentine's Day gift as well. Some of these retiring Queens would make great show cats to take to the Premier Class as well! They would be fun to show!!

Why are the kittens so expensive?

These cats are expensive to obtain and expensive to maintain to produce the beautiful kittens people so desire! They are also top of the line cats with extensive pedigrees and not bottom of the line cats with no pedigree! These are among the very best!  Compared to all things you can invest your money in, they are a very valuable possesion. More wonderful than jewelry or furniture, far more lasting than technology, a wonderful kitty can give love and affection for 10-20 years!

The cost of years of selective breeding, the rarity of their beauty, the extreme effort to attain the gorgeous coat colors, gorgeous eye colors, body type, and the sweet personalities, along with the quality facilities, professional medical care and the numerous hours of expert professional care they receive from infancy, require more expense!  That is how we produce such wonderful cats!!!!

When you get a kitten from us, you will not have an average "pet cat",  you will have a Glamour Cat! --like a rare and beautiful and precious jewel!
