- Breed: Pixie Persians! - Ages: Varies - Check website - Color: Wide variety!
DESCRIPTIONDifferent breeders have different descriptive terms to indicate their smaller lines they work with in their cattery.
Many use the word "Tea Cup Persians"...we used to use that term however I have found that gives the general public somewhat false expectations of what the kitty will look like full grown so we have opted to go with the word "Pixie" here at Cozy Kitten Cattery. Regular traditional Persians are usually quite large, cobby and muscular.
Females balancing out around 7-9 lbs and males approximately 8-12 lbs whereas the golden and silver colored Persian family tends to be the smallest over all framed Persians. Silvers & Goldens" are just naturally smaller kitties but in no way are grouped or categorized into a "breed category", simply known as the smallest & most petite of the Persian feline family.
Silver and golden Persians usually generate females APPROXIMATELY 4-6 lbs and males APPROXIMATELY 6-7 lbs. This is not an exact size chart but merely a guideline to keep in the forefront of your mind when considering a "Pixie Persian".
The over all bone structure of the silver and golden Persian is usually more petite and delicate than that of a say solid white, bi-color or Himalayan...not that you can not get those colors from time to time in the more smaller sizes, it's just the silver and goldens are more known for continuously producing these small framed kitties.
The Pixie Persians are every bit as healthy, loveable and inelegant as the larger framed kitties they just have a smaller over frame/build.
The Pixies (at least the ones produced here at Cozy Kitten Cattery ) are purebred and not in any way crossed with another breed to achieve their naturally smaller body type.
Pixies are usually higher in price, not so much because they are smaller but because their colors are that of the more expensive designer category.
The silver and goldens have long since been known for and referred to as the "Royals Royce" of the Persian colors therefore you should be expecting more elaborate price tags when shopping for a Pixie Persian. Pixie Persians have a fairly small selection of colors to choose from (Shaded Silver, Silver Chinchilla, Shaded Golden, Chinchilla Golden, Blue Silver - "ULTRA RARE" Designer Colors: Blue Chinchilla Golden, Silver & White, Golden & White and Blue Chinchilla & White)
Please Note: Because "Silvers & Goldens" (Pixies/Tea Cups) are smaller and more delicate they should NEVER be allowed to leave the breeder's home until they are at least 12 weeks of age. All ethical breeders enforce this adoption age limit on "Silver/Goldens- Pixies-Tea Cups".
