Welcome to Mcjax Exotics & Persians, a small in-home CFA and TICA Registered Cattery.
A friend of mine had Persians. She dragged me to a cat show and there was a Persian exhibitor there with kittens for sale. I had to admit they were cute but I had no intention of buying one. Well, guess what, my friend talked me into buying one so off I went home with a Persian kitty. I soon learned that she was fun and I loved watching her little antics. Never being able to have just one of everything, I bought another kitten, a Himmie.
I absolutely loved him and his blue eyes. About a year later, I purchased a red Persian from the same breeder. Then months later, another one. She said “Joe, you should breed as when you come over, you pick out my best kittens”. That was all I had to hear so I bought a breeding female and the rest was history.
I started breeding the tabbies and the solids but eventually fell in love with the shaded silver. This was the color that I really loved. Of course, I had no idea the challenges working with this color.
After about 2 years, I fell in love with the exotics and didn’t miss all the daily grooming of the Persians. I began showing enjoyed it immensely. My goal has always been to breed to the standard with the temperament and good health being of the utmost importance.
I have a small cattery located in the suburbs of Reading, Pennsylvania and generally breed 1 or 2 litters per year. This allows me to properly care and socialize them. My kittens must be neutered/spayed as I seldom sell to breeders preferring that they go to a loving home where they can be a cherished pet. Often I have people that come back for a second kitten which makes me happy.
Kittens remain with me until they are 3-4 months old depending on the various lifestyles of the purchasers. I always encourage them to call me with questions or concerns and provide grooming tips, etc.
Many of the purchasers have kept in contact with me for years so this is a great way of making new friends.
This is a PKD negative cattery.
See if we have available Exotic or Persians for sale!
