At Snuffles, our mission has always been to prioritise the health, happiness, and well-being of our cats. As responsible breeders, we continuously evaluate our breeding program to ensure we are providing the best possible care for our cats and kittens. After much consideration, we have decided to downsize our cattery. This decision wasn’t made lightly, but we believe it is the right step forward for both our cats and ourselves.
1 Prioritising Quality Over Quantity
At Snuffles, we have always focused on producing healthy, well-socialised Persian and Exotic Shorthair kittens that meet the highest breed standards. By downsizing, we can dedicate even more time, attention, and resources to each individual cat, ensuring they receive the absolute best care.
• Fewer litters mean we can provide more one-on-one care for every kitten
• We can focus even more on selective breeding to improve health, temperament, and breed standard
• Our commitment to ethical breeding remains unchanged—we are simply refining our program
2 Ensuring the Best Homes for Our Cats
With a smaller breeding program, we have the opportunity to place some of our beloved breeding cats into carefully chosen pet homes where they can be spoiled and adored as companions. This allows them to enjoy a relaxed, stress-free life in a loving environment.
• Some of our retired breeding cats will be available for adoption to exceptional homes
• Each cat will be desexed and fully vetted before transitioning to their new family
• We will carefully screen potential adopters to ensure the best possible match
3 A Sustainable Future for Snuffles
Downsizing our cattery allows us to focus on long-term sustainability. Breeding is a full-time commitment, and by refining our program, we can continue to uphold the highest standards while maintaining a healthy balance between our personal lives and our dedication to our cats.
• A smaller breeding program means we can dedicate even more time to ongoing support for our kitten owners
• We remain committed to genetic testing, health screenings, and ethical breeding practices
• This decision ensures we can continue breeding responsibly for many years to come
4 Our Commitment to Our Kitten Owners Remains Unchanged
While we are downsizing, our support for our Snuffles families will always remain the same. Whether you have purchased a kitten from us in the past or are hoping to do so in the future, we will continue to offer guidance, advice, and lifetime breeder support.
• Kitten owners can still reach out to us for grooming tips, health advice, and general cat care questions
• Our commitment to responsible breeding and kitten welfare remains as strong as ever
• We will continue to provide updates, educational content, and adorable kitten photos on our social media
What This Means for Future Snuffles Kittens
We will still be breeding Persians and Exotic Shorthairs, but on a smaller scale. This means that kittens may be available less frequently, and our waitlist may be longer. However, this also ensures that every Snuffles kitten is raised with the utmost care, love, and attention.
If you are interested in a Snuffles kitten or a retired breeding cat, we encourage you to reach out and express your interest early. We are always happy to discuss availability, answer questions, and help match the right cat to the right home.
Looking Forward to the Future
Downsizing our cattery is a positive step toward ensuring we continue to breed ethically, responsibly, and with the highest level of care. Our love for Persian and Exotic Shorthair cats has not changed—if anything, this decision allows us to focus even more on what matters most: raising exceptional cats and providing lifelong support to their families.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Snuffles over the years. We look forward to this next chapter and are excited for what the future holds.
