gain. For we brought
nothing into this world

My husband and I have enjoyed showing our cats in CFA since 1994. We show exclusively in the Southern Region. Being "hobby breeders", (not commercial breeders or a kitty mill) meaning our kitties are NOT self supporting, they do NOT pay for their own upkeep, we are NOT producing kittens for the sole purpose of re-sale and we DON'T profit from the sale of our kittens/cats.
We breed according to the Persian breed and color standard; however, due the strict criteria of the show ring, many of the kittens produced at Castle Paws will be pet quality; therefore, kittens will be available to approved indoor pet homes (with a written spay/neuter health & sales agreement) at various times of the year. (Please read more about Castle Paws on our available page).
My husband and I reside on a small Holstein cattle farm located in South Carolina between Columbia and Spartanburg. Since 1988, I have owned and operated "Pam's Poodle Parlor", a small breed pet grooming and retail shop which is how I support this expensive hobby of showing and breeding silver Persian cats. I also enjoy sewing and designing all sorts of unique handcrafted items such as pet dresses, jackets, bibs, beds, stud pants & queen panties for the puppy dogs and kitties. For the cat show exhibitor I make show cage curtains and accessories such as crate pads and covers and totes. These items are shipped world wide and can be viewed from my Castle Paws Designs pages. Also, please visit my booth at the Southern Region shows!
We are CFA Persian Breed Council members for the Silver & Golden Division.
Members of the United Silver Fanciers and Dixieland Silver & Golden Fanciers.
A CFA Registerd Cattery, CFA Ambassador. Founder of the SGENews Photo Gallery Site , the original Silver & Golden Webring and SGENews online email group for Silver and Golden Persian and Exotic exhibitors.
I have written numerous articles on cats and other pet related topics. Many can be viewed from this site. Probably my proudest accomplishment for our division is being responsible for getting the color standard revised & accepted for the Golden Persian's inception for the 2002 show season. Accomplishing that was truly a labor of love just as is working with and for this eloquent breed of cat we effectionatley refer to as the "silvers and goldens". So as you see, we are very busy and not only do we enjoy the cats, but people too! Did I mention our grandchildren?!
