A LEGECY WORTH PRESERVING

A cattery is only

as good as

the cats behind it.

Every cat at Nautilus Persians has been chosen for a reason.
Together, they represent the qualities we hope to preserve for generations to come.

Chosen With Purpose

No cat is perfect.

When selecting the cats that will build the future, our goal isn't perfection-it's balance.

For us, that balance is found in three qualities:

Type

Because a Persian Should Look Like a Persian

Preserving the Persian breed begins with selecting breeding cats that embody the breed's distinctive type-the physical qualities that make a Persian unmistakably a Persian.

Temperment

Because a Persian More Then a Beautiful Cat

A Persian's beauty is only part of the story. We carefully select breeding cats with the gentle, affectionate temperment that ha made the beed a beloved companion for generations.

Health

Because a Beautiful Persian Should Also be a Healthy Persian

Only cats that meet our expecations for health and long-term well-being become a part of our program, because healthy kittens begin with healthy parents.

We Can't Keep Them All

One of the hardest parts of preservation breeding is knowing when it's time to let go. We place cats that are retired after contributing to our program, who are better suited suited as companions or have the potential to strengthen other preservation breeding programs.
