Nautilus Persians

We operate a strictly closed cattery committed to transparency, advanced feline nutrition, and the preservation of long-term health.

Rigorous Genetic & Disease Screening: Every adult cat in our program undergoes extensive health screening to ensure our lines are completely clear. This includes complete DNA profiling through Optimal Selection (verifying negative status for PKD1, HCM markers, and all screenable anomalies), alongside strict negative testing for FeLV, FIV, and parasites.

Comprehensive 2-Year Genetic Guarantee: Because we invest heavily in pre-breeding diagnostics, we confidently stand behind the structural and genetic integrity of our cats. We proudly offer a 2-year written genetic health guarantee providing a replacement kitten in the rare event of a life-limiting congenital condition.

Biologically Appropriate Hybrid Nutrition: To support proper structural growth, impeccable coat chemistry, and flawless digestive health, our kittens are raised on a carefully balanced fresh raw diet utilizing complete professional supplementation (EZComplete / Alnutrin specifications). Understanding that many families choose to utilize dry food, we concurrently incorporate Royal Canin Mother & Babycat kibble to ensure your kitten is fully stable, highly adaptable, and structurally prepared for an easy dietary transition into your home.

Advanced Immunology Protocol: We reject the industry-standard "one size fits all" approach to feline medicine. We practice an individualized protocol that prioritizes long-term organ health over early placement timelines, including mandatory post-vaccination monitoring. For a complete breakdown of our maternal antibody science and timeline, please view our dedicated Vaccination FAQ.

Socialization & Early Care

All Nautilus Persian kittens are raised underfoot as cherished members of our family and are extensively socialized from birth. They are exposed to a wide variety of normal household environments including people of all ages, daily household sounds, television, music, kitchen activity, and routine household appliances.

This early conditioning helps ensure confident, well-adjusted kittens that transition smoothly into their new homes.

Our kittens are also raised alongside other pets in a supervised environment and are handled daily to promote calm, affectionate temperaments.

Grooming Foundations

As part of our commitment to producing high-quality, easy-to-maintain Persians, kittens are introduced early to grooming routines including bathing, blow-drying, and handling from approximately 6 weeks of age.

We are affiliated with the National Cat Groomers Institute of America and are pursuing advanced certification in feline grooming. This structured early grooming exposure helps ensure our kittens are well-prepared for lifelong coat care.

Nautilus Persians is a CFA and TICA registered preservation cattery dedicated to producing Persian kittens that reflect the breed standard for structure, coat, and temperament as recognized by the Cat Fanciers' Association and The International Cat Association.

Our breeding program is built on carefully selected, health-tested bloodlines, with pedigrees that include multiple generations of Grand Champions and Regional Winner titled cats. This allows us to consistently produce kittens with strong type, excellent temperament, and predictable quality.

We maintain full pedigree transparency and encourage families to review lineage and registration information for their kitten.

Our focus is on preserving the integrity of the Persian breed through responsible breeding practices, health testing, and consistent selection for quality.

Our kittens are selectively bred for their gentle, affectionate temperaments and are raised to be calm, confident companions suited for both families and individuals.

Nautilus Persians are known for their balanced personalities—playful and curious when engaged, yet naturally calm and easygoing in the home. They enjoy interactive play, gentle attention, and being close to their people.

Because Persians require regular grooming to maintain their coat health and appearance, we introduce grooming routines from an early age. Kittens begin gentle handling, bathing, and blow-drying starting at approximately 6 weeks old, helping them grow into adults who are comfortable and cooperative with grooming care.

This early conditioning supports stress-free maintenance in their future homes.

Our kittens are raised in a structured home environment and learn early routines, making them adaptable and responsive to household life. They are well-socialized and comfortable with everyday sounds, handling, and interaction.

If you are seeking a calm, affectionate, and well-raised Persian companion, a Nautilus Persian kitten is a wonderful addition to the home.
