Boy and girl Persian Kittens for sale in Barnsley, South Yorkshire

The Persian Cat, also known as Persian Longhair or Shirazi, originates from Iran and is admired for its distinctive, luxurious coat and gentle personality. These cats come in various coat colors, including solid, silver and golden, shaded and smoke, parti-color, bicolor, and Himalayan. Recognizable by their round face and short muzzle, their long and dense coats necessitate regular grooming. Despite their regal appearance, Persian cats are known for their calm, docile temperament, making them ideal indoor pets. As a medium to large-sized breed, they prefer a quieter, more laid-back environment due to their less active nature. Persian cats can be picky eaters, requiring specific dietary attention.
