Why choose a Felinfamous and Egerton kitten?
Our top priority is sending you a kitten that is not only gorgeous to look at, super cuddly & playful but also in the very best of health. We do this by testing all of our breeding cats for PKD which is a fatal kidney disease known to plague Persian cats. We also feed a highly nutritious diet, worm our cats and kittens regularly, keep their environment spotlessly clean, allow them plenty of fresh air and sunshine and room to exercise.This means you can enjoy your kitten from the moment it gets home. You won't be rushing off to the vet with your kitten angry and dissapointed that the new family member you have waited so long for has arrived in ill health.
They are as cute as buttons as kittens & grow into stunning cats.
We have some of the most beautiful looking Traditional Persians to be found anywhere on the internet. This means that you are assured of receiving a kitten that is as cute as a button with a beautifully groomed soft, fluffy coat. You'll then be able to watch as your kitten grows into a glamorous adult cat that you will be extremely proud of.
Endearing temperaments guaranteed.
The care, love and affection we pour into our cats and kittens shows in the temperament of your kitten. You can be assured of receiving a kitten that truly enjoys interacting with people, a kitten that will be very loving, extremely affectionate and make a wonderful companion for you for it's entire life.
A kitten that is really right for you & your situation.
Just like humans, kittens & cats have different personality types, some are quiet by nature, others extremely outgoing. We do our very best to match you with the kitten that will suit you & your home environment. To do this many issues are taken into account,whether you work full-time, part-time, have small or teenage children, other pets, live in a unit or house in suburbia or a home on acreage. It is our aim to match you with the right kitten so that you and your kitten will have a very happy life together.
A kitten that has been bred for you as a beautiful, healthy, loving pet.
Our sole purpose in breeding these adorable cats is to bring love & happiness into the lives of pet buyers like you who are searching for, and deserve a Persian kitten that is wonderfully healthy, full of fun and strikingly beautiful, just like the Persian kittens of yesteryear. Our aim is not to breed kittens that will be sold to breeders or will win ribbons in the show ring but kittens that will live the life of a much loved pet bringing happiness to their owners on a daily basis.
Do you sell kittens for breeding?
No, I do not sell any kittens for breeding. All of my kittens are sold as desexed pets to people who simply want the very best Persian kitten they can find to love & spoil. One that is beautiful to look at, wonderfully healthy and totally endearing with an affectionate & loving nature. There is nothing more satisfying for me than to know that my kittens go to homes where their sole purpose in life is to warm someone's lap or bed.

What colours are you currently breeding?
We specialise in producing absolutely adorable Shaded Silver, Silver Tortoisehell & Glacial White coloured kittens. Solid White kittens can have either copper eyes, blue eyes or odd coloured eyes. Odd eyed Whites have one blue eye and the other copper.
We also breed gorgeous Red, Cream, Blue, Black and Cameos. Cameos are rarely seen today. To see what a Cameo coloured cat looks like you can view Delila, Chelsea and Winston (all Cameos) by clicking here To view kittens that we bred previously please click here
In 2009 we will hopefully be producing some stunning Traditional Himalayan Persian kittens in a wide variety of Point colours.
Do your Persians require a lot of grooming?
The Traditional Persian is a long haired breed and does require a daily brush and/or comb, this will take you no more than 5 minutes. If done regularly (daily) you will have no problems with matts and knots. Whilst breeding Traditional Persians with wonderful health, gorgeous temperaments and exquisite beauty we also continually aim for easily managed coat texture.
Shaded Silvers, Silver Tortoisehell, Himalayan & Solid White kittens are all priced at $1200.
All other colours are priced at $1000.
Microchip Identification

Re-homing Service
Should you ever be in a position whereby you are unable to keep or care for your kitten/cat due to unforseen circumstances such as:
illness, age, moving interstate/overseas, family commitments etc, you may return your kitten/cat to us and we will re-home it into a
loving home free of charge. We are happy to provide this support to our kitten/cat owners and to the beautiful cats that we breed.
A deposit of $200 is required to secure the kitten of your choice with the remainder due (less your deposit) 2 weeks prior to the kitten leaving our home. Your deposit is not refundable if you change your mind or decide to purchase elsewhere. If the colour/sex of the kitten that you ordered is not available from the next litter you can, at your discretion, either roll your deposit over to another litter or have it refunded.
Payment is by Money Order from Australia Post. My address details for posting will be given upon confirmation of your decision to purchase.
Can I pay my Kitten off over a period of time?
Yes you can pay for your kitten by way of instalments, I have no problem with this method of payment, providing the kitten and freight costs (if freight is required) are paid for in full 2 weeks prior to the kitten leaving my home.
We are happy to place interested parties on our waiting list for future litters, however potential buyers who pay a deposit of $200 are given preferential placing before those who do not, irrespective of when enquiries were received.
Alternatively feel free to keep an eye on our kittens page where news of available
kittens & adult cats is updated regularly.
I live in a beautiful rural area called Armidale in northern New South Wales with my husband and children. We have a small hobby farm with dogs and cats, a dairy cow named Mary, 2 ducks named Freda & Bertie and a large number of free-range chooks. My husband breeds beautiful Chocolate Labradors with placid, loyal & loving temperaments he has a website at Cranlamila Labradors if you’re interested in having a peek. Armidale is located on the New England Tablelands and is approximately halfway between Brisbane and Sydney on the New England Highway.
Can you transport kittens/cats interstate?
Yes, we have flown kittens all over Australia without any problems. Kittens travel (very comfortably) as freight with Australian Air Express, a subsidiary company of Qantas. Armidale has a small regional airport, our freight people do not work on weekends and prefer not to send animals on Mondays or Fridays due to increased passenger numbers on those 2 days (passenger luggage receives priority over freight).
Your kitten/cat will be transported in a brand new travel crate (which is then yours to keep) with a snugly blanket for extra comfort. The kitten can be collected at the Australian Air Express depot at the destination airport. When collecting your kitten you will be asked to provide identification before the kitten/cat is released. The table below outlines the cost of freight to a number of destinations within Australia. The cost listed includes the price of the travel crate which is yours to keep. Please email me for a quote if your local airport is not listed. I can only fly kittens to airports serviced by Qantas.
Do you ship your kittens/cats internationally?
Yes, international enquiries are welcome and encouraged.
