The Doll Face Persian kitten who'll belong in your family from day one.

Kittens go home at 12-14 weeks old, after they've completed all three rounds of vaccinations and have been spayed/neutered. This ensures they're fully prepared for the transition to your home.

The exact pickup date depends on when your matched kitten reaches this milestone, which we'll communicate clearly once the match is made.

Pickup is required. We're located in Texas, and families come to our home to meet their kitten and complete the adoption in person.

We don't ship for several reasons:

• The stress of cargo travel can be traumatic for kittens
• We want to meet you in person and walk you through everything
• It gives you a chance to see where and how your kitten was raised
• We can answer last-minute questions and ensure you're fully prepared

If you're traveling from out of state, we're happy to work with your schedule to find a convenient pickup time.

It varies depending on current litters and availability, but typically 4-12 weeks from the time you're added to our matching list.

Some families get matched quickly if we have a kitten whose temperament aligns perfectly with what they're looking for. Others wait a bit longer for the right fit.

We don't rush matches just to speed up the process. The right kitten is worth waiting for.

We welcome initial consultation calls (video or phone) so you can meet Iryna, ask questions, and see how we operate.

However, we don't do in-person visits before a match is made for a few important reasons:

• Protecting our kittens from potential exposure to illness
• Minimizing stress on nursing mothers and young kittens
• Ensuring our process stays focused on temperament matching (not "love at first sight" impulse decisions)

Once you're matched with a specific kitten, we'll share plenty of photos and videos so you can see their personality before pickup day.

This is actually one of our strengths.

Our kittens are raised with dogs and other cats from birth, so they're already comfortable with multi-pet households.

During the preparation phase, Iryna will walk you through:

• How to introduce your new kitten to existing pets
• What to expect during the adjustment period
• Signs of healthy vs. problematic interactions
• How to set up separate spaces initially

Most introductions go smoothly because our kittens are already socialized. But every situation is unique, and Iryna will customize guidance based on your specific pets and household.

Availability changes frequently as litters are born and kittens are matched.

The best way to find out: Text us and let us know what you're looking for. We'll let you know if we currently have kittens that match your preferences, or when we expect the next litter.

You can also check our Available Kittens page for current availability.

Yes. All our kittens are registered with the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA), and you'll receive the registration papers at pickup.

We're also registered with TICA (The International Cat Association).

All kittens receive three rounds of FVRCP vaccine (protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia).

The vaccination schedule is:

• First round: 6-8 weeks
• Second round: 10-12 weeks
• Third round: 14-16 weeks

Your kitten will be fully up-to-date when you pick them up, and we provide complete vaccination records.

Rabies vaccine: Typically given at 16 weeks or older. Depending on your pickup timing, this may need to be completed by your vet (we'll let you know).

Yes. All kittens are spayed or neutered before pickup (unless you've specifically arranged breeding rights, which we rarely offer).

This is included in your adoption fee and eliminates the stress and cost of scheduling surgery yourself.

We specialize in three Classic Doll Face Persian varieties:

See detailed comparison on our Types page.

It depends on the variety:

• White Persians: 2-3 times per week, ~5 minutes per session (easiest coat)
• Chinchilla Points: 2-3 times per week, ~5 minutes per session (low-maintenance)
• Silver Chinchillas: 3-4 times per week, ~5-10 minutes per session (finer coat, tangles more easily)

We teach you proper grooming technique during the preparation phase, including:

• What tools to use
• How to prevent mats
• How to make grooming a bonding experience

Most families tell us grooming is easier than they expected because we prepare them properly and match them to the right coat type for their lifestyle.

Yes, all cats shed to some degree. Persians have long, thick coats, so you'll notice hair—especially during seasonal shedding periods (spring and fall).

How to manage it:

• Regular brushing reduces loose hair around your home
• A good vacuum helps (we'll recommend one)
• Balanced diet supports healthy coat and reduces excessive shedding

The good news: Our Classic Doll Face Persians shed less than many long-haired breeds because their coats are healthier and better structured.

Yes—especially ours.

Our kittens are raised with our children from birth, so they're accustomed to:

• Being held and handled gently
• Louder voices and sudden movements
• Active play and household energy

That said, temperament varies. Some kittens are more playful and tolerant of high energy. Others are calmer and prefer quieter interaction.

This is why temperament matching matters. Iryna will match your family with a kitten whose personality fits your household dynamic—including the ages and activity levels of your kids.

We also provide guidance on:

• Teaching children how to interact with kittens appropriately
• Setting boundaries so the kitten has safe spaces
• Recognizing signs of overstimulation

We raise our kittens on high-quality, human-grade food from day one.

At pickup, we'll provide:

• The specific brand and type we're currently feeding
• A supply to get you started
• Feeding schedule and portion guidelines
• Recommendations for transitioning to other foods (if desired)

We'll also advise on:

• What foods to avoid
• How to read cat food labels
• When and how to transition from kitten to adult food

Proper nutrition is critical for coat health, energy levels, and long-term wellness—so we make sure you're set up correctly from the start.

Some do. Ours are bred to minimize those risks.

The problem with many modern Persians: Extreme flat faces (peke-face) bred for show rings often come with:

• Breathing difficulties
• Chronic tear staining and eye infections
• Dental issues due to jaw structure

Our Classic Doll Face Persians: We breed traditional structure with slightly longer noses, which means:

• Better breathing and airflow
• Fewer tear duct problems
• Healthier jaw alignment
• Lower risk of breed-specific issues

Plus, we health test: Every breeding cat is DNA screened for PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) and other genetic conditions. We provide documentation.

No breeder can guarantee a kitten will never get sick—they're living creatures. But we've done everything possible to reduce hereditary risks and breed for health, not just appearance.

• White Persians: $2,000 – $2,500
• Silver Chinchilla Persians: $2,000 – $2,500
• Chinchilla Point Persians: $2,500 – $3,000

Price varies based on color, eye color, and specific characteristics.

What's included: Everything listed above (vaccinations, spay/neuter, health certificate, registration, starter kit, preparation guidance, and ongoing support). Total value: over $7,800.

We require a deposit to reserve your matched kitten (amount varies, typically $500-$1,000).

The remaining balance is due at pickup.

We do not offer extended payment plans because our kittens go home fully vetted, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered—which means we've already invested significantly before pickup.

If cost is a concern, we're happy to discuss timing so you can save up before committing to a match.

Deposit: Once you accept a kitten match, a deposit is required to reserve that kitten. The amount varies depending on the kitten.

Refund policy:

• Deposits are non-refundable if you change your mind after accepting a match
• Deposits are refundable or transferable if we cannot fulfill the match due to health issues or other circumstances on our end

Why non-refundable? Once we match you with a kitten, we turn away other interested families. The deposit ensures commitment on both sides.

We'll walk you through all terms clearly before you commit.

We rarely sell breeding rights for a few important reasons:

• Protecting our lines — We've spent years carefully selecting and health-testing our breeding cats. We're protective of those genetics.
• Ethical breeding requires expertise — Responsible breeding isn't just about having two cats. It requires knowledge of genetics, health testing, behavior, proper socialization, and ongoing care.
• Our focus is companion cats — We breed for families, not for other breeders.

In rare cases, we may consider breeding rights for experienced, ethical breeders who share our values. But this is the exception, not the rule.

If you're interested in breeding rights, let us know upfront so we can have an honest conversation about whether it's possible.

We covered this in detail above, but here's the short version:

• Home-raised with kids, dogs, and real family life
• Temperament-matched placements (not first-come-first-served)
• Parents DNA health tested with documentation
• Classic Doll Face structure (healthier than extreme flat faces)
• 1 year guaranteed support (often much longer)
• Detailed preparation and owner education

We're not the cheapest. We're not the fastest. But if you want a kitten raised with intention and a breeder who stays invested in your success, this is the program Iryna built.

Yes. We are:

• CFA Registered Breeder (Cat Fanciers' Association)
• TICA Registered (The International Cat Association)
• IAABC Member (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants)

Absolutely—and we hope you do!

Most families stay in touch well beyond the first year because Iryna genuinely loves getting updates, photos, and hearing how kittens are doing.

You're not just a transaction. You're part of the Royal Persian Cats family.
