Alchemist cattery is a small, private cattery that is registered exclusively with The Cat Fancier's Association (CFA) and run strictly as a part time hobby. All of our cats and kittens are Persians and are registered with CFA. We are inspected annually by a licensed Veterinarian and have been awarded the prestigious title of CFA Cattery of Excellence under the guidelines and recommendations of the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA). Look for us each month in Cat Fancy magazine.

Alchemist Cattery - transforming Persians into silver and gold

When you are working with genetics you must not only employ your knowledge of science, but also your wit. Once you get the correct formula you must then apply a bit of magic to pull it all together. Hence, we have Alchemy . . .

Alchemist Cattery is a small, in-home cattery settled quite happily in North Georgia. All of our kittens are raised "under foot" and at 10-12 weeks of age, they are ready to go live "under your feet."  We take pride in how we raise and maintain our cats and welcome you come visit us before you purchase a kitten from us. All of our cats and kittens are kept strictly indoors in a home environment to keep them safe and healthy, free from parasites and predators, and we expect you to do the same after acquiring a kitten or cat from us. Our cats are kept in our home; never in a basement, garage, or outbuilding.

This is not a business - it is a hobby and done solely for the personal pleasure of creating beautiful cats that meet the CFA Persian standards. Our mission is to create cats that are so wonderful that they can be competitively shown at CFA sponsored shows. We frequently offer delightful kittens that do not meet the CFA show standards (traditional doll face) for sale as pets. We also place retired cats in pet homes either for free, or a small fee to cover the cost of spaying/neutering. All pet kittens are sold with a health guarantee and a spay/neuter agreement.

Alchemist is a closed cattery; therefore we never stud out our male cats.

We are content to have only a few, select cats to establish our breeding program consisting of Silver, Gold, Blue Silver, and Blue Gold Persians. In the past, we were known for our Smokes and Cameos and even though those days are past, we have revisited the concept of smokes and use the best bloodlines briefly with the Silvers and Golds to improve both type and temperament without losing the sparkle of Silver and Gold.

Although we will aways breed traditional shaded and chinchilla Silvers andGolds, we have added to our color selection the (newly recognized and recently accepted for Championship status) colors of Blue Silver and Blue Gold. These ethereal colors represent the dedication and hard work of several breeders over the past few years making it now possible for these spectacular cats and kittens to be available to pet homes. Whether you prefer the traditional Silvers and Golds or the unique Blue Silvers and Blue Golds, we know you will appreciate the broader spectrum of colors now available while maintaining the traditional shining radiance and sparkle of these delightful cats.

In 2010 White Persians will become a new area of focus for us and we will be adding radiant white Persians to our breeding program. All of our whites will mask either solid black, black smoke, or silver.

What is Alchemy?

Alchemy is an ancient art especially practiced in the Middle Ages primarily to discover a substance that would transmute common or base metals into gold or silver, and to find a means of prolonging human life.

Alchemy is also a vast mythological system of symbols and metaphors, beings and stories, geometries and diagrams, elements and heavenly bodies, designed to represent aspects of the human psyche and spirit, as well as provide guidance towards the nature of the Universe. Two famous alchemists were Merlin and Saint Germain.
