Rosy and Lacy - Princess Bella-Joy's second litter.

Vivian has loved all animals since birth - but cats have always stolen her heart. In early 2017 she registered as a breeder with CASA/WCF and bought two exquisite #PersianChinchilla #OriginalLonghair queens. The journey as a small "hobby" breeder began. So far, Princess Bella-Joy and Lady Arwen Evenstar have had three litters each - each new baby treated like little princes and princesses and raised in our home and hearts.

Royal Canin Kitten Second Age Food (at least 2kg, plus some sachets/ pouches of Kitten wet food). Please remain with Royal Canin for the first two months at least. If you select a different brand, add the new brand very gradually to Royal Canin, increasing the percentage of the new brand very gradually to avoid upset stomachs. Breeders use Royal Canin or Hills. Food and water bowls. A comb and a brush for grooming your kitten. Bottled, still water if you think there may be issues with your water. A scratch post/cat pedestal.
