My family and I have a passion for Himalayan cats and kittens. We are one of the area's only Himalayan and Persian breeders in Northern Virginia, just outside Leesburg, and everything here happens in the house rather than in a cattery building.
I have been raising cats and kittens for over 31 years, specialising in Himalayan and Persian cats. I take great pride in the home and the nurturing I give them, and I believe raising kittens in my house rather than in a cage or a crate is what makes them so people-friendly: less shy, less frightened in a new home, and far more compatible with the pets already there.
All of our kittens are hand raised with lots of love and TLC. They grow up around people, kids and other animals, so they are ready to venture into your home from day one. They do very well as lap cats and with small children, and they are not shy or unfriendly. We raise them as part of our family, not just as pets.
I work with a well established clinic in Purcellville, VA — Blue Ridge Vets. Friendly Kittens is a feline leukemia negative colony, and our kittens are guaranteed free from genetic defects and PKD negative, so there is no need to worry about debilitating genetic problems.
Some of our kittens have even been adopted internationally — one flew to Venezuela on its first trip abroad. Ask me about the details if you are further afield.
My family and I love each kitten like a member of our family. You will not find a kitten more loved, more cared for, or better prepared to be adopted.
Please allow us to be your first choice for adopting a new Himalayan kitten today.
Our speciality. A Persian in build and coat with the colourpoint markings and blue eyes of a Siamese: seal, blue, flame, chocolate and lilac points. Calm, quietly affectionate and famously happy on a lap.
The classic long-haired cat: broad face, dense coat, unhurried nature. Ours are raised the same way as the Himalayans, underfoot and handled daily, and they make gentle companions for quiet homes.
Raising kittens is not a side business for us. It is something our family has done carefully for more than three decades, and every decision starts with the same question: is this best for the cats and for the family who will love them?

Friendly Kittens is a feline leukemia negative colony, and we keep it that way with a close working relationship with our vet.
Our cats and kittens live in the house with us. That is the single biggest reason ours settle so quickly into a new home.
Kittens are held, brushed and played with every day from the first week, and meet the ordinary noise of family life early.
We would rather you visit, sit on the floor and let a kitten choose you than pick one from a photograph.
If your circumstances ever change, come back to us first. No kitten of ours should end up in a shelter.
No cages, no crates. Our kittens grow up underfoot with our family, so they arrive people-friendly rather than shy and frightened.
A clean bill of health from our vet, first shots given on schedule, PKD negative and from a leukemia negative colony.
Himalayans and Persians are calm, affectionate companions, and ours are handled daily so they settle easily with children and other pets.
Call or email any time with a question about grooming, feeding or settling in. We stay in touch for the life of your cat.
