The primary goal of Meadowpurrs
Cattery is to provide an environment for our cats and
kittens where they receive lots of love and attention. Our
goal is to breed healthy kittens with sweet dispositions
that conform to the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA)
standards for the Silver & Golden Persian class.
We have enjoyed sharing our home with
cats for many years and began showing with CFA in 1986. We
maintain a small in-home Cattery and produce only a
limited number of kittens to ensure that each baby
receives lots of individual attention.
All of our cats are treated as treasured
pets (including our breeding stock) and they are not
caged.
The "boys" spend most of their time in
our large sun room with lots of windows, cat trees,
furniture, toys, etc. They may roam the rest of our
home when supervised to avoid unplanned litters.
The "queens" share part of the sun room
and also have access to rest of our home including the
large kitty playroom.
The Nursery provides a nice quiet
environment where queens can concentrate on caring for
their newborns. Of course, they do get lots of
visits from their human family and they love to have us
admire and handle their little bundles of joy.
The babies play with their littermates
in the nursery for the first few weeks. After
they have had their first baby shot, they are permitted to
come into the rest of the house and play with the "big"
kids. By the time they are ready to leave our home
they are well socialized and are using their scratching
posts and litter boxes appropriately.
Only PKD negative cats are used in our breeding
program.ALL of the cats in our breeding program have
been tested DNA tested for PKD and all are negative.
Prior to DNA testing, all of our cats are scanned for PKD by a certified
veterinarian radiologist (Jonathan T. Shiroma, DVM,
Diplomate, ACVR at MedVet in Worthington, Ohio. In
addition, all have been DNA tested and certified
negative for PKD.
Our cats/kittens come with a written health guarantee which
is included in our Sale Contract. The are vet
checked prior to adoption by James Lehnerd, DVM at
Forest Park Veterinary Clinic in Columbus, Ohio.
The pictures below are the areas where our cats play when
they are not running throughout the rest of the home.
Playroom is 1,000 sq ft with lots of cat trees, toys, etc.
The sunroom is divided into three sections. One side
for the boys, one side for the girls, and a small room to
separate the two sides.
In addition, we have a separate nursery area for moms and
babies.
