If you missed yesterday on -
'As the world turns in Surprise AZ',
then you missed one of the more difficult things a breeder must go through.
Listing for sale a young adult or preteen that you've become very attached to but know you cannot keep and use him in your breeding program.
In July, I obtained a complete outcross male kitten with the sole intent to promote him to eventually be our #1 Stud muffin.
Sadly, by the age of 5 -6 months,
I knew this was not going to happen. Sadly, his nose had not drawn up and his front fang was crocked. As a breeder, I do not breed tomorrow's flashy new trends of crazy colors or breed for longer noses in hopes to bring back the 60s.
Nope, I try to utilize the CFA guidelines.
As a Persian breeder, I also choose to only breed >Pure Persians<.
Meaning that there is no Himalayan or CPC - Color Point Carrier genes, or exotic in our lines. Which is getting harder and harder and costing more. But it is important to me, a piece of why I still breed.
Because once they're gone, there is no going back.
A lesson the silvers aka Fancy Feast cats have learned the hard way.
So, you can get a grasp of how sad we were, listing our Stormie for sale. Add on, he is an amazingly loving kitten who wants for nothing but to lay under my chin all day and purr. He has so many adorable qualities too. We hand raise all of our kittens and with just a few litters a year, and being retired, they are very spoiled. We supplement all kittens from day 1 with vitamin/protein/weight gain fortified milk in those important early days then onto diced human grade raw meats. Grooming daily, even before they open their eyes. At 6 weeks they begin the bathing routine, weekly bathes/blow outs until they head to their new homes. I know after 35 years of breeding/showing Persians, this is a key element. We know it is in the kitten's best interest as they will require grooming 4ever. And of course, lots of love and kisses are a must. So, I digress, it was my goal to find him a perfect pet home. Where he will be loved so much... One of his endearing traits is to sit next to me awaiting his turn to give love or climb up under my chin and sleep. I have my 5 queens out, kittens, our new puppy, so sometimes he must be very patient. Once it is his turn, he makes eye contact for my approval to leap up. Once on his human perch, he doesn't share. If any other tries to get under my chin, he uses his legs to push them away lol, to say that Stormie is spoiled, is a true understatement. As is to be said about all of our adults. So, with a heavy heart this morning I listed him on my website and on Facebook.
I received well over 100 inquiries! I was so excited, knowing that in this group must be the perfect family for him. I held my ground and turned away several offers from doll faced breeders. Saying no to an extra $1,000
(especially after the crappy year 2024 afforded us) was difficult!
Knowing it's going to cost me a bundle to find another future stud!
(Any pure proven studs looking for a new home? lol)
But, as most breeders will tell you, it's not all about the money. I didn't mind kittens out there with low noses under my cattery name, it was the crooked teeth where I draw my line. As this can cause serious eating issues later on down the road. Over 35 years, I have bought more than my fair share of future breeders with teeth and alignment issues (not being told before flying them to me.) So, I weeded through the texts and messages, and it was after church that I was on chatting with several promising candidates. When I hear my phone ding to let me know I got a deposit for him!! I was mid-sentence with another wonderful candidate.
Sorry
So, a big congratulations to Jerusha of AZ. This will be her 4th Opal baby!!! What a huge relief this was to my very saddened heart. I know its best that he stays a loving boy, and relief that his fate is now sealed. Halleluiah What a day!

***** June 23, 2017 · Opal Reyes Vantastic Persians are the best. We have a beautiful loving Calico girl. Our Shelby girl is such a joy and is the sweetest affectionate kitten ever and has completed our family. Opal Reyes kittens are raised from day one with love and lots of human touch which carries on when you bring them home. I adopted my Shelby girl the day before I had major surgery which got me through the hardest time of my life. Just holding her the day before surgery I was relaxed and ready for surgery. What got me through my long recovery was the constant videos and pictures opal Reyes provides to everyone who adopts one of her fur babies. Watching my Shelby girl growing up made me feel connected by the videos and pictures not only to Shelby but to Opal Reyes too. What also makes the transition easier when you bring your fur baby home is they know their name because Opal Reyes asks you what you want to name them and calls them by that name day 1. After you bring your fur baby home Opal Reys is always available if you have questions I should know because I ask a lot. I didn't only get a Perfect Persian but I got a friend for life in Opal Reyes aka DeAnn. Shelby girl has my heart and is my life thanks to Opal Reyes Vantastic Persians. I definitely recommend Opal Reyes Vantastic Persians to c

·***** 5 star June 23, 2017 · What can I say about this wonderful place that gives furr families a Perfect Persian that hasn't already been said? OpalReys let us adopt the cutest, most handsome red and white perfect Persian. Musket now at 3 months rules the house and we are now at his beck and call. From day one at our home, Musket has never cried to be with his birth family. He came in and made himself right at home knowing that he would be King of the House!! Our sincere thanks go to OpalReys aka DeAnn for raising this loving furr baby and for all the extra special touches she did and continues to do. We still need to let this kitten knows that we are in charge of his grooming to keep him looking as good as he did when we got him. Thank you again OpalReys.
Jeanne N Conrad Anderson Forgot to say that Opal Reys also sent a homemade blanket with mom and dad scents on it, 3 catnip sticks, a starter feeding kit and cleaning products and vitamins. That was such a nice added touch that made the transition easier for Musket. Thank you for going the extra mile.

***** 5 star· June 25, 2017 · I got my beautiful girl, Madonna, from Opal Reys and I cannot express how much love and joy she brings to my life. Not only are DeAnn's Persians beautiful to look at, the have the sweetest and most well behaved disposition. When I got Madonna she was already full of character. She loves to play and she loves to be around "her people" as we say. I can honestly say that DeAnn's cats are very happy and very healthy. I grew up with Persian cats and it's really important to have one with good bloodlines because who really wants to worry about paying an outrageous vet bill in the end of the day? I'm so pleased with my baby girl and HIGHLY recommend Opal Reys to anyone looking for a great pet, either for yourself or for the family

***** 5 star· June 23, 2017 · If you are looking for a socialized, well breed persian, look no further! We were so blessed to have stumbled upon OpalReys name. We had a few persians before and knew we needed to find a breeder who socialized kittens very well. DeAnn does such a great job! Our little Oliver (White/Black Van) from day 1 followed us around the house from room to room, cuddled us at night, purred constantly, and let us touch and pet his hands, feet, ears, face, everything! Her cats are so loving and lovable for people who aren't even cat lovers! They have incredible personalities, such big cuddle bugs and very well behaved!!! DeAnn is extremely responsive and always willing to help with any questions or concerns. We definitely recommend OpalReys to anyone looking for a healthy, fun loving family member

***** 5 star· June 23, 2017 · I've had Persian cats for almost 40 years. My new kitten is my fourth Persian. She is so sweet and affectionate and the most well adjusted kitten I've ever had. She is not afraid of anything and that shows the care and love that OpalReys VanTastic Persian Kittens are raised with. I love the fact that DeAnn raises her kittens with humans large and small (grandchildren) and with other cats and even a dog (who is super sweet). The kittens go to their new homes happy and ready to take on the world.
DeAnn posts photos and keeps her Cat Families updated from the time the kittens are born and sends them home with tons of information and toys and a blanket. I would not get a kitten from any other breeder

·***** 5 star July 17, 2016 · OpalReys Van Tastic Persian Kittens in Arizona is the best place to get a kitten. We have two of her kittens that are almost a year old.

***** 5 star· June 24, 2017 · After swearing off Persian cat breeders because I had purchased one sick kitten after another, from dishonest people.... I found DeAnn. I brought Samoa home in March of 2016 and have not a negative thing to say. He's been healthy since day 1, he has never had to see a vet due to illness and he's the sweetest cat you could ask for. Do your research - find an honest breeder that cares (and doesn't cage! their cats) like Opal Reys. Not only that, but you'll have friend for life

·***** 5 star August 23, 2015 · Highly recommend! The early weeks of a kitten's life are crucial and true to her word Deanne took such such care in raising then and making sure they are bonded with humans.
I was amazed at the two well adjusted, darling kittens who rode quietly and calmly home with us and immediately claimed our home and our hearts as theirs. Thanks Opal Annie's!
