Since they are more related to Persians than to Munchkins we tested all our adult breeders for PKD - Polycystic Kidney Diseases at UC Davis and they are all negative. They do not have diseases related to breed. Some of them are good jumpers but THEY WILL NOT JUMP ON YOUR TABLE OR KITCHEN COUNTER (not even when you are not home!)Ī: We breed for health. Lastly, standard Minuets are even smaller than nonstandard ones. We also breed short hair Minuets - which more and more families prefer now. Other top 3 reasons we love Minuets: They are much more playful even as adults. Their coats are easier to manage. Their coats are very silky, which makes that daily combing and grooming unnecessary: most of our Minuets require combing only once a week or less. If a cat smaller than 9-10 lbs is considered "a teacup size" - then all of our Minuets would be considered teacup cats.

Our adult Minuets weigh between 4-7 lbs, while regular Persian cat could be 12-18 lbs. Minuets are much smaller than an average Persian cat. Our first Minuet kittens were born and we fell in love with them ever since. In 2007 we got very excited about Minuets - because of all the advantages they have over Persians. Silver and Golden, which are the smallest division of Persians. Our cattery started by breeding Persian kittens. They are friendly, loving, playful and funny! Standard Minuet does not jump on your counter. We love cats but we don't enjoy having a cat on our dining table or kitchen counter. Q: Why do you love Minuet (Napoleon) kittens? What makes them unique?Ī: There are so many reasons. Standards are not only shorter, but nearly always also smaller. Q: What does STANDARD and NONSTANDARD Minuet mean?Ī: On average, 50% of Minuet kittens are born STANDARD - with short legs and the other 50% have regular sized legs. Email is best.Ī: Minuet is a relatively newly recognized breed - a beautiful breed growing in popularity! It is a cross breed between a classic doll face Persian and a Munchkin. We have been breeding beautiful Minuet kittens since 2007. please fill out an application after reading this page first. Q: What is the best way to contact us? A: email. It also shows us that you are thoroughly preparing and a responsible future kitten parent.

Please read the entire Q&A section in detail before contacting us, as many of the questions are answered below. Every few years (but rarely) I also add a retired breeder as available to this page. In fact, it is a great way to adopt an excellent quality kitten or cat for an exceptional price. Sometimes I prepare a kitten for a show or plan as a future breeder and then the situation changes. On this page you can every once in a while find an available teen or adult I may have. A teenage kitten will still form a very strong bond with their new family, and may not be as mischievous toward you and your home as a very young kitten that is still learning. Kittens are undoubtedly among the cutest things ever - who can resist them? Sometimes, however, a slightly older kitten may be a more appropriate fit for both parties involved and make for a smoother transition, and an equally loyal and loving relationship for many years! Although the term "kitten" refers to a feline of one year or younger, we consider a 'kitten' up to 5-6 months of age. So - if you want the kitten of another color than silver or golden - this is the last year to adopt one - or even better two. We will specialize again in Silver and Golden, mostly short hair, but sometimes medium hair kittens too.


This year we are changing our program and this is the last year when we breed color Minuets. About half of the kittens in each litter are STANDARD - with very short legs the other half is NON-STANDARD - regular legs.īecause we started our Minuet breeding program with Silver and Golden Persian breeders, which is the smallest division, most of our kittens are very small. Minuets, are dwarf kittens, a cross between Persian and Munchkin and they have the best of both breeds. Our goal is to produce healthy, loving and petite kittens with sweet doll faces and playful personalities which you can welcome in your home as new family members. We are TICA registered cattery and we breed small MINUETS (from Munchkins).Īll of our adult breeders have excellent pedigrees and health.
