Any idea where to get a nice cat?

My classmate is looking for a kitten as a pet. We are wondering where is a good place to buy. The most ideal is a persian.

There are quite a few shops selling persian right now. Just check The Straits Times Classifieds on Sunday, #74. The alternative is to adopt one, but it may not be a kitten. Some of the cat societies do get purebred persians occasionally.

I think there are a few persian breeders, but I can't exactly remember who they are. The cat breeders don't really advertise vigorously.

Just a gentle reminder, persians need regular grooming. Their coat, a point of pride, requires care.

Thanx Clover.
We went to Pets Tales and saw several cats there. Not cheap but can see the quality is very good. Still considering which one to pick up.

Persians

Persians are really adorable, do remember though that they would require grooming daily and those with eye stains would need to be cleansed daily as well. Shedding is a concern so be aware of these before you get a persian. I understand Pet Tales have some white exotic shorthair kittens as well, they are like Persians but with short coat, a good choice if daily grooming is a chore for you. All cats other than the rexes and the sphinx/peter bald shed, so be prepared for that regardless of coat length.

I have a persian at home, and at times I am literally spitting fur. She's the sweetest thing though and I race home from work daily to see her and groom her. Grooming is a pleasure for us both, and I do it as often as I can everyday.

Pet Tales have lovely persian kittens

try www.felinefancierssociety.com/breeders
do not buy from pet shops and backyard breeders. u are supporting the inethical feline flesh trade. also persians take a lot of time and dedication. If you cannot spare at least half an hour a day to groom the cat and constant cleaning of tear stains, its best not to get a persian. Many people underestimate the care going into them. It is no secret that the most popular purebred found in shelters are of persian type.Also, persian owners who keep shaving their cat are not good owners. The point of grooming is to keep matts out of the coat. Not merely shaving it away as and when u like. Perhaps u can try an exotic shorthair. Not so much grooming is involved. they are basically shorthaired persians. Zuliatiku has a litter now. u may contact them at the email provided on the web.
