Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
A calm, sweet-natured lap cat with a very full coat
The Persian is one of the oldest and best-known long-haired breeds, with a round head, short nose, big eyes and a luxurious coat. It is quiet, gentle and home-loving, and it needs daily grooming and face care.

This breed enjoys about 20 minutes of play a day. Around 1 sitter visits a day keeps that routine going, along with fresh food, water and a clean litter tray, when work or travel gets in the way.
