Persians from National and Regional Winners, DMs, Champions, and Grand Champions!

Associated with Cat Fanciers Association since 1975.

VIRAN Persians are located in CFA's Region 7 (Southern Region):
1.75 hours south of Chattanooga, TN; 1 hour east of Alabama;
4 hours north of Florida, 2.5 hours southwest of Greenville, SC.

(Viran has never bred agouti tabbies, himalayans nor colorpoint carriers, nor exotic longhairs.)

Viran has never had the goal to breed pets for the public, but rather to produce an exhibition quality Persian with personally desirable traits. Occasionally a kitten bred from Viran's CFA show lines does not competitively meet CFA standards and is placed in a pet home.

Sweetheart was a Best In Show kitten, and earned her CFA Grand Champion title in 2 shows at 8 months of age - making 200 of the Grand points in the second show. And, yes, that eye color is real!
