Available Kittens
We have several kittens available. Most are the silver shaded with black eyeliner. (We now have super tiny purse kitties) Carley's Cattery is a very small program and we NEVER use cages. All cats are PKD-1 negative and registered with T.I.C.A. A Napoleon / Minuet is a Persian and Munchkin Hybrid. A standard has short legs like a dachshund and a non- standard has normal length legs. Their hair is bred to be easier to take care of than a Persian's. None of our kittens have the typical eye drainage issue that Persians suffer from, and their coats are more manageable than a typical Persian. They are smaller than most Persians and have an excellent personality! Check out my FaceBook page, https://www.facebook.com/carleyscattery/, Please call Lisa at 615-429-7693 if you are interested.
Breed Description
- Loving baby-doll face set upon low-slung body ensures that the Minuet Napoleon will instantly capture your heart and devotion. The short-legged Minuet is known as a Standard, while its long-legged counterpart, a Nonstandard. Derived from the Munchkin and Persian breeds, the Minuet often presents with short legs, but the majority of its traits are derived from the Persian Group (Persians, Exotic, and Himalayan). The hybrid is a loving, laid-back companion, and a glamorous showpiece. At this time, only Minuet Standards are eligible to be shown. The Minuet Nonstandard, however, is just as valuable, both as a loving devoted companion and an important part of any Minuet breeding program. Please call Lisa at 615-429-7693 if you are interested.
My Breeders
Stormy, Maya, Kenzie, Whitney, Thunder, Mia Bella, Nickel and Dusty Lightning are all breeders of our Napoleon/Minuet cat lines. By using the Munchkin gene correctly, I'm able to have beautiful cats that look a lot like one of the most popular cats in the world, the Persian. The big difference is that the hair is much more manageable than a Persian, and they don't have the breathing problems some Persians have, plus the eyes don't drain like many Persians. By adding the Munchkin gene, there is no inbreeding, therefore my Napoleons are extremely healthy. You can see our kittens on YouTube 24/7 on Carley's Cattery channel. Pick the one that has the personality and traits you desire, then contact us immediately. You can also come to our office building to meet your future adoption.

This is Mia, one of our moms, a silver shaded with short legs. She has "show numbers" with TICA.
Are There Limitations Due to Physical Traits?
The Standard Napoleons or Minuets are unique because they have short legs like a dachshund dog. Though they can still jump and run around just like any cat, they're less likely to jump up on your bar where your dinner is. They do not have any health related problems due to the short legs like several short legged dog breeds. The Non- Standard Napoleons are just as great as the Standard! They can just jump a bit higher! My opinion is that the Non Standards make the greatest pets as they are beautiful like a Persian but have been improved upon! We are TICA approved.
We do not require a deposit to reserve a kitten.
