bigwig about us

Our home is situated in Shropshire.

Breeding and Exhibiting cats is a hobby, which i have to juggle with work, my cats are all family members and live indoors.
A list of cat shows can be found on the GCCF website.

The Exotic has all the look of a Persian but with a short, dense soft and plush coat ... the 'Teddy Bear' and still that laid back nature.
The exotic is a good choice of cat if you like the Persian, but do not have the time and ability needed to care for the coat of a Persian.

Looking for a Pet Kitten?

Details of any kittens we may have can be found on the available page..

Occasionally I may have young neutered adult cats looking for permanent loving homes, please ask.

BIGWIG is my Prefix Registered with the Governing council of the cat fancy (GCCF).
All my kittens are registered with the GCCF, and leave for their new homes on or after 13 weeks of age. They will have completed a Full course of vaccinations and been wormed as recommended by our vet. I also microchip our kittens and if possible kittens are neutered before leaving us.
We have tested our breeding cats for PKD using the services of the UC Davis Lab in California.

My kittens are very much part of our family, they are raised in our home with my family and our pet dogs so become well socialised friendly kittens. My kittens are not kept in cages.

Are you a breeder ?

Whilst i prefer my kittens to go to pet homes or show neuter homes i realise that it is important for breeders to have choice to improve or give new bloodlines to their pedigree's.

I will not knowingly sell my kittens for breeding where home is in a cage!
If you are enquiring for a kitten intended for breeding please note, i will ask for references.
A caring home where my kittens welfare will be paramount is of the highest importance to me, no price can match this, i have the right to refuse the sale of a kitten without giving reason.

Please email me steph@bigwigpersians.co.uk if you have any questions or just fancy a cat chat.

I would like to thank the kind breeders and friends who have helped so much with their advice, support, encouragement and sometimes patience.
If it were not for those who have entrusted me with their pedigree's and cats then i would not have the lovely Bigwig babies to feel so proud of today.... Thank you!
