    Exotic - The Exotic has been accepted in CFA since the 1960s and was a hybrid of Persians bred to American and British Shorthairs. They are bred to the same standard as Persians, with one notable difference, their short, plushy coat. They are a medium to large sized cat with males ranging from 10-16 pounds and females from 8-13 pounds. They take 4 years to reach full size and maturity. They are often referred to as the "lazy man's Persian" but they do still require just as much bathing to make their coat stay in show condition. For pet Exotics, monthly bathing is required, and some cats require their eyes to be cleaned, but overall most Exotics eyes do not drain like some Persians are known for, and weekly combing with a metal toothed comb. The personality of the Exotic is similar to a Persian, except they do not sleep as much and are a lot livelier and follow you around like a little dog. They constantly do things that will make you laugh. They are considered a lap cat, are extremely affectionate, and would fit well into any living situation. They are not at all destructive and typically do not jump up on anything higher than your bed. The average pet price range of an Exotic shorthaired kitten is $500-800 and for a longhaired kitten is from $400-600. We occasionally have young retired adults available, and their price range is from $300-500. Some of the colors of Exotics that we work with are solids, parti-colors, smokes, tabbies, and bi-colors.
