Persian & Himalayan FAQ
How big do Persians and Himalayans get?
Adults usually weigh 8 to 12 pounds, with males running a little larger. They look much bigger than they are because of the coat.
How much grooming do they need?
A real brushing every other day, at minimum. They will not do it themselves and will absolutely hold a grudge if you do not. A monthly bath helps the coat stay soft.
Are they good with kids and other pets?
Generally yes, especially when raised in a busy home. They are calm, patient, and slightly aloof in a charming way. They get along fine with respectful dogs.
What is the difference between a Persian and a Himalayan?
Himalayans are Persians with the colorpoint pattern (cream body, dark face and paws) bred in. Same temperament, same care.
When can a kitten go home?
Twelve weeks. Younger than that and they have not had enough time with their mom and littermates.
Do you ship?
We prefer in-person pickup. For families further out we are willing to coordinate flight nanny services. We do not ship as cargo.
