Welcome to Lushell Persians, a small cattery located in Northern Virginia very close to Washington, D.C. and Maryland.  My name is Lucia and my daughters name is Shelby and together we created Lushell cattery.  We specialize in Tabby and Bicolor Persians and are commited to raising healthy, well socialized, loveable Persian kittens.  Our cats are our passion and are raised like our children, underfoot with lots of love and attention.

After breeding and showing Bicolor Persians in the 1990's, I decided to take a break to raise my children.  Several years ago, I discovered that my daughter Shelby also had the same affection for cats as I do.  I bought her a Himalayan Persian and she began showing on her own, and granded her first cat in CFA.  We then decided to start breeding our own and aquired some more Himalayans to begin our program.  We then aquired a CPC (color point carrier) male who we both fell madly in love with and our hearts were changed forever.  It was then that we knew that  it was the Tabby Persian that we wanted to devote our program to.  Although we continue to breed our Himalayans, our tabbies and bicolors are the focus of our program.  We are currently showing our Tabbies and Bicolor persians in the CFA southern region.

All our cats are registered with CFA the largest registry of pedigreed cats.  We breed pet and show quality kittens.  We do ship, but we prefer to place our kittens locally.  Our kittens are sold to approved homes only and all kittens are sold with spay/neuter agreement and health guarantee.  We occasionally have retired show cats available.

Lushell is NOT a pet shop and we reserve the right to place our kittens where we see fit.
