Pelaqita Persians
I am a CFA-registered cat breeder of Persian kittens with a written Guarantee. At Pelaqita Persians, I focus on breeding healthy, well-socialized Persian kittens.
Unlike commercial-for-profit breeders, I allow my kitten clients open access to my home to see how their kitten is being raised and to meet the kitten's parents. This website contains information and articles from the history of Persian cats, pictures of our Sires and Dams, information on the type of Persian cat breeders who breed Persian cats, and information on how to find an excellent Persian cat breeder. In addition, we offer information and educational resources, including articles about - grooming Persian cats, supplies and toys for Persian kittens and cats, feline behavior, the PKD1 health issue, nutrition for kittens and cats, animal rights, and recommendations for books about Persian cats.
I am proud to be a PKD1-free cattery. Our breeding cats have been DNA tested by Optimal Selection, which runs a genetic testing panel for 40+ genetic health tests, plus blood type, traits, and genetic diversity. One of these tests is the PKD1 gene. All of our cats are negative, and therefore, all of our kittens are PKD1 negative.
We have Persian Kittens for Sale throughout the year. I specialize in some of the most popular and requested colors of the Persian Breed: calico, tortoiseshell, and blue cream. My kittens' colors range from silver, black, blue, cream, red, cameo, and smoke to subtle variations within these colors, including Tabbies and Bi-Colors.

What People Are Saying?
Going to New Home
My husband had intended on getting me another kitten after our much adored Persian passed away days before turning 16. He searched high and low, came across Susan, and knew he had found a reputable breeder who puts her cats/kittens’ interest at the forefront.
Susan’s application process is very thorough, and she personally vets each candidate to ensure each of her kittens goes to a loving home. We spoke on the phone at length on several occasions to not only get to know each other but also to hammer out the details. Her email instructions are lengthy, but it is clear she really tries to think of everything.
Three weeks at new home
We knew Susan to be transparent and forthright through her diligent Facebook updates, and when we went to pick up the kitten, it was even more clear the level of devotion. The kittens use the most reputable litter box, kibbles, supplements, etc. and the cattery is beyond well-stocked and immaculate! I was surprised she readily handed newborns to me to cradle, but seeing how at ease out kitten was with transitioning to new people, home, dog, I understand the reasoning for Susan’s line of thinking.
She is very well organized. Each kitten has its own folder for new owners to take away, with issues from detailed instructions for grooming and bathing, to how to treat common ailments. They were super informative and helpful (saved us from a trip to the vets for diarrhea during the first transition days)!
Kitten is now three weeks older. She’s gained 50% of her arrival weight, has eaten herself into a sausage belly, and loves being in the middle of the action. She treats our pitbull’s tail as a cat toy and claims anywhere/everywhere as her bed. Currently she is stretched out, comatose and using me as her mattress. Everyone spoils her!
Highly recommend this breeder. Susan treats her cats/kittens as her life’s passion. She goes to great lengths in ensuring they are as well-positioned for a healthy robust life as possible. Well worth the distance!
