CH Victoriangdn's Chocolate Cosmos -
5 Week Old Chocolate Persian
As of December 31, 2022, we have retired from breeding. We have had over 13 1/2 wonderful and very successful years of breeding amazing, sweet and healthy Persian and Himalayan kittens. We have been blessed with some incredible and wonderful adoptive families for whom we will always be available to answer questions or give advice.
We are planning on leaving our extensive website up and available for viewing since it is packed full of wonderful information for all kitten and cat lovers. Our website includes information on the following: Nutrition Series, HCM Series, links to the Products and Supplies we Recommend, Kitten Pictures and Videos in Our Nurseries, and so much more. The website is best viewed from a computer or laptop. If using a smart phone to view this website, look for three dashes in the upper left hand corner to view our extensive menu and submenus.
As of January 10, 2023, we have four of our retired adult breeders available for adoption. To find out more about them, please see our Available Kittens page.
Our active Cattery YouTube Channel with over 340 kitten and cat videos spanning from May 1, 2011 to our very last litter growing up in the summer of 2022 will stay up and running so everyone can enjoy those funny and happy videos. They are a great stress relief from what I am told by my subscribers. We currently have more than 23,000 subscribers to our YouTube channel making it a popular channel for watching those cute kitten videos. While you are there, make sure to check our our famous litter box video that went viral many years ago and still draws in the crowds everyday. We plan on doing more How To Cat and Kitten Care videos on our Cattery's YouTube channel in the future. Please feel free to subscribe to our YouTube Channel. See you there soon!
God's blessings to you, your family and your fur babies,
Susan

HCM HEALTH GUARANTEE
As of October 12, 2013, Victorian Gardens Cattery is very pleased to be the first known Persian and Himalayan Cattery in the world to offer a 6 Year HCM Health Guarantee on all its new kitten contracts. For those who have had a loss of their companion to this horrible disease, you will be the first to appreciate how truly reassuring this guarantee is. To validate this guarantee, the buyer of the kitten must provide the kitten with a cardiac ultrasound between the ages of two to three years old. Specific details on the 6 Year HCM Health Guarantee will be included on all new kitten contracts. Please contact us directly for further details and buyer requirements of this guarantee. This six year guarantee is only for HCM. Our standard two year Genetic Health Guarantee is still in effect.

Health Screenings
VICTORIANGDN'S Indy, a 6 Week Old Seal Point Himalayan Kitten
Health is first priority at Victorian Gardens Cattery. All our foundation dams and sires are Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) DNA tested negative through Veterinary Genetics Laboratory in Davis, California or the newest lab is through CFA's catDNAtest.org. The DNA services are performed by Neogen's GeneSeek Operations lab, the world's largest animal genetic testing laboratory. The foundation dams and sires are also Feline Leukemia tested negative and Feline Aids tested negative through our local veterinarians. We are a ringworm free Cattery. Any new incoming dams and sires will have the more extensive DNA testing.
As of February 1, 2012, all our current and any future dams and sires (2 years of age or older) will be Cardiac Ultrasounded for HCM, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy every one to three years. Dates of each Cardiac Ultrasound can be found on the Dams and the Sires pages. As of November 11, 2017, our Cardiac Ultrasounds are being performed by Dr. Kate Meurs, Cardiologist at NC State Veterinary School and Hospital. Dr. Kate Meurs is the head researcher who is trying to find the genetic markers for HCM in the Persian and Himalayan breed. As of January 2013, Victorian Gardens Cattery is only one of a handful of known Persian and Himalayan Catteries in the world that provide HCM cardiac ultrasounds on all their breeders on a regular basis.

Our Adoptive Families will testify to our kittens keen intelligence. We believe our babies are so smart, that we encourage our parents to try toilet training their babies. Our babies also have a funny fascination with water or maybe we should say ... playing in the water. One common thread in conversations with our Adoptive Parents is that our kittens are very fearless. You can read from the Adoptive Parents their stories of their babies fearlessness, intelligence or water fascinations on our Adopted Kittens page. Willie Wonka is producing babies that are outgoing, self assured, self confident and very much people oriented.
YOUTUBE Videos and Blog
