Our kittens typically start at $1250 and increase in price depending on several factors.

Nautilus Persians is located in beautiful Ocean Shores, Washington.

We can hand deliver your Nautilus Persian to your local US airport. The cost varies depending on your location and the time of year. We never ship our kittens cargo. We also can meet you at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport or Portland International if you want to be the one to fly.

While we understand the desire to visit our cattery, we are a closed cattery, which means that we do not allow visitors in our home to meet cats and kittens. We take very good care of our cats and kittens and put their health at the top of our priority list

We are a closed cattery for the health of your chosen cat/kitten as well as all other cats and kittens in our cattery. We are however more then happy to share photos, videos, and updates to help you feel confident in selecting your kitten.

Illness and disease can spread very fast in catteries. While breeders can control the cats they bring in through testing, that is much harder with potential families and their pets. If the family has visited another cattery, shelter or rescue recently, or somehow picked up something elsewhere, that can bring in unwanted illness and disease. Our cattery often has newborn, unvaccinated kittens and pregnant girls who are especially vulnerable to illness. Even a single introduced virus could spread rapidly, posing severe risks to both mothers and babies. Our kittens and cats are super healthy and we try everything in our power to keep them that way. Our cattery (which is also our home) is kept super clean for the same reason.

To further help protect our our cats and kittens they do not leave our cattery except for when they need to see a vet or are attending a cat show. After attending cat shows we have very strict quarantine procedures and keep recently shown cats quarantined from our cattery for a minimum of a week after attending a show to ensure that they do not bring any diseases they potentially picked up at shows into the cattery. The first time kittens leave our cattery is at 12 weeks when they receive their FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations. We do not vaccinate until 12 weeks old because studies show that because of maternal antibody interference vaccines are worthless until at LEAST 12 weeks of age .

We accept payments through our website which accepts major debit and credit cards, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and other popular payment methods.

Your cat/kitten must be paid in full the day of, if picking up in person, or 5 days prior to leaving with a flight nanny. If picking up in person you may pay your remaining balance in cash at the time that you pickup your cat/kitten.

Nautilus Persians is registered with both The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) and The International Cat Association (TICA).

All of our breeding cats have been tested using Optical Selection Feline and are 100% clear.

We actively show our Nautilus Persians in CFA's Region 3.

We believe that Balanced Homemade Raw food is the best food option for your cat/kitten as it most closely resembles what nature intended for them to eat and provides the best nutrition.  We understand though that many homes are uncomfortable with feeding raw so we do introduce our kittens to Royal Canin Persian Kitten wet and dry before going to their forever homes to make the transition easier.

We make our cats and delicious and nutritious Homemade Raw Food containing a ratio of 75% meat, 15% bone and 10% organs. We grind whole chickens and boneless pork loin and mix with a purée of eggs, sardine, and chicken livers. Balanced Homemade Raw food is the best food option for your cat/kitten.

Another option for feeding raw is to use TCFeline PLUS Beef Liver Raw Cat Food Premix. It is a Premix / Supplement that you mix with your own ground or cubes meat to make a Homemade Raw Cat Food Diet. You can use Any meat appropriate for cat consumption can be used with this premix, such as Chicken, Beef, Buffalo, Turkey, pork rabbit and more. Our favorite protein to use is pork as we have found that none of our cats or kittens are sensitive to it.

To make your cats nutritious raw food take two pounds of raw meat that you have freshly ground or cubed yourself. Then take the meat and mix it with two egg yolks, 1/4 cups of TCFeline mix and 1/2 cup cold water. After mixing portion into 1/4 cup balls and freeze. The day before the food will be consumed move to the fridge to thaw until serving. Feed one ball per Persian every morning and every night.

We guarantee that our cats and kittens will be free of any life-threatening genetic defects for a period of 2 years from the sale date of.

We do not vaccinate our kittens until they are a minimum 12 weeks old.  We understand that it has traditionally been recommended by vets to start vaccinations at 8 weeks however studies show that vaccines are worthless because of maternal antibody interference until at LEAST 12 weeks of age and probably more likely 16 weeks. We also understand that it is recommended by many vets to booster the 8 week vaccine at 12 and 16 weeks, but our kittens come with a Rabies shot (required by law) and ONE FVRCP (Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia) vaccine. Research shows just one vaccination can provide immunity for a lifetime and over vacation has been proven to increase the risk of injection site sarcomas. Furthermore cat vaccines are made from feline kidney cell lines and because of this, EVERY TIME you give a vaccine, your cat creates antibodies against their own kidney cells. This has been one of the considerations as to why many cats develop kidney disease later in life.

It is a common misconception that kittens can be separated from their mothers as early as 8 weeks old. However, kittens separated at this time are still at risk for developmental, social, and health issues. Instead, kittens should remain with their mothers until they are 12-16 weeks old. By this age (and with proper human interaction and training), kittens should be able to go to the bathroom in an appropriate place (i.e. the litter box), play on their own instead of needing other littermates, they will have a fully developed immune system, will be vaccinated, and will not be a victim of unnecessary stress that comes from weaning too early.

Yes, we are a PKD/FELV/FIV and parasite free cattery. All of breeding cats are also genetically screened using Optimal Selection and are 100% genetically clear.

All of our cats live in our home and are not kept in cages. We keep our intact males in our bedroom and the girls/retired cats have free roam of the rest of the house.  Our kittens are kept in a clear acrylic enclosure in our living room until they are old enough to safely roam the house with the girls/retired cats.  Our kittens spoiled members of our family. All of our cats and kittens go home well socialized. They experience all the sights and sounds of a normal home environment: people, music, TV, the vacuum, the sound of pots and pans, the toilet flushing, and other pets (under supervision).

Our kittens will be introduced to grooming and given weekly baths and blow-dried starting at 6 weeks to ensure that they are easy to groom when they go to their forever homes. Our adults are bathed and blow-dried at least monthly and are all easy to groom.

Here at Nautilus Persians, we do not allow declawing of our cats or kittens. Our contractual agreement on no declawing is enforceable. We recommend monthly nail trims on the kittens and as needed on adults, or nail caps to be applied.  

Declawing is the amputation of the last bone of each toe. It would be like cutting off your fingers at the last knuckle. 

Declawing can cause paw pain, back pain, infection, tissue necrosis (tissue death) and lameness. Removing claws changes the way a cat's foot meets the ground and can cause pain. Improperly removed claws can regrow, causing nerve damage and bone spurs.  Declawing also can cause behavioral issues such as litter box aversion.

If you would like to purchase an available kitten a non-refundable deposit is required to hold your kitten until he or she is ready for their forever home (Typically between 12 to 16 weeks depending on individual development).

We also offer a free waitlist for future litters. To get on our waitlist you must fill out our application. Once on our waitlist you will be notified when a new litter is born and you will have your pick according to your placement on our waitlist. Please note that we do not assign kittens until they are 5 weeks of age. This gives time for the kitten to develop so that we can access their confirmation and personalities before offering them to those on our waitlist.

Once you choose your kitten a non-refundable deposit is required before your kitten will be marked as reserved for you.
