A Dearheart Persian Cattery

We are a normal (ish- haha)  family, consisting of myself, my husband, and our three boys (9, 12, & 14). In addition to our cats, we also have two dogs- a Pomeranian named Duke (who firmly believed he was a cat for at least the first year of his life, but that’s a story for another day), and a Rottweiler named Zeke. 

We live about 30 minutes outside of Seattle, in a large home on nearly an acre. Jason and I are Real Estate Brokers, meaning we largely work from home. We spend a whole lot of time hanging out as a family, including the furballs. 

Our cats are primarily pets. They roam the house freely, just as any other cat would. They hang out with us all day, and sleep with the kids at night. These cats are SUPER social. Their strong preference is to be with their people. Gus has a particular affinity for my youngest son, and will go out of his way to seek him out. I regularly find them snuggled up “playing video games” or watching movies together.  They’re like two little peas in a pod. Meanwhile, Ivy’s favorite place to sleep is on me. She also enjoys watching us cook from her favorite kitchen stool. Weird, I know. But she really does love it. 

The point is, these cats aren’t just beautiful, they’re friendly. Ridiculously so. Seriously, sometimes they’re over the top. And that’s not an accident. We believe that cats should actively seek out attention from their humans, not run and hide the minute they hear a kid come into the room. I’m sure you’ve come across breeders who refuse to sell cats to families with young kids. We have too. They argue that kids are too rowdy, or a cat might get hurt. We think that’s BS. Yeah, of course it’s important to teach children to be respectful of animals, especially a small kitten, and it’s important to monitor them. But frankly, cats have 6 ends, 5 of which are pointy. If your kid is too rough, they’ll likely get a swift correction in the form of a scratch. Most kids are smart enough to figure that one out. 

That said, our kittens will be handled by our entire family from birth, and go to their new homes used to all the chaos of a normal household. Again… We have 3 boys. One of which is severely Autistic and thinks riding through the kitchen at full speed on his hover board is perfectly reasonable. Our home is not particularly quiet. Kids (and sometims parents) yell, doors slam, and I don’t know who crashes into more walls, the kid on the hover board or the 110 lb Rottweiler who fails to accurately gauge how long it’s going to take him to stop on the hardwoods. It’s a toss up on any given day. 

These kittens will come to your home ready to be part of the family.
