.....I just wanted to finally take the time and tell you how happy my husband and I are with our little Ashlee. This is our first experience with a Himalayan kitten and we had lots of questions. Michelle, you have gone out of your way to help us and respond to emails the same day. Stopping by when I had a question and then taking your time to comb out a few knots and give me suggestions was certainly more than we expected when we bought Ashlee. We have fallen in love with this little ball of fluff and are seriously considering a little brother or sister for her--Everyone that visits us comments on how beautiful she is and how friendly--It's obvious that you love your kittens and take the time to socialize the kitties and groom them. This makes it much easier for new owners to take care of a kitten that is used to being around people and being held and groomed. It took us awhile to get Ashlee used to our two dogs but she had never seen a dog before--Now they are all three buddies and sometimes curled up together on the dogs bed. Thank you again for a beautiful kitten and for all of your help!!

.....I purchased a kitten from Michelle in July 2004. The male himalayan cat is the most loving cat I have ever had........Visitors to my home can't put him down and he loves to be loved. He was introduced to a home with 2 other purebred cats which love him. I would not hesitate to purchase another cat from her. She is truly an asset to breeding himalayans.
Breeder's Comment: This buyer just purchased another kitten from me in December 2004

.....I just wanted to say that
I have never had such a wonderful experience with
purchasing from a breeder than I have with you. You
are not only a breeder, but a person who truly cares
about her kitties. Thank you....

"Zues" & "Oscar" April 1- Premier Purrs-of-Luv Grouchy Oscar
Kyle and Ashley Rankin write:
..............Thanks to Michelle, I now have two adorable balls of fluff that my husband and I deeply love and cherish. We have gotten numerous comments/compliments about how friendly our little boys are around people............. They love to play, cuddle, and are great companions. Oscar and Zues are not your typical kitty-cats, they are Purrs-of-Luv kitties and we wouldn’t want it any other way!
....................After looking through many sites and becoming disgusted by the dated material, we finally came to Michelle’s homepage. We were so impressed by the detail and design that we immediately emailed her............. Without hesitation we adopted Oscar. After about five months of having our new kitty we got the urge to give Oscar a baby brother. After having such a great first experience we felt that Purrs-Of-Luv Cattery was our only source for adopting another little one. Thankfully one of Michelle’s cats was expecting and we were able to adopt Zues.
When you purchase a kitten from Purrs-of-Luv, you’re not only paying for the kitten, you also get Michelle’s advice and help. Just as any new parenting experience comes with some questions/concerns, the same goes for buying a new kitten. It felt good knowing that there was someone out there that I could go to or call if I had any questions. Michelle has certainly gone out of her way for us on numerous occasions and continues to do so a year later. We’ve enjoyed our experiences with Michelle so much that we are currently contemplating adopting another kitten in the near future.
Thank you so much Michelle!.....

Betty from Dillsburg, PA write:
.....Just wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful kitty. The vet couldn't believe how "easy-going" and "laid back" Austin is. He is such a sweetheart and everybody loves him.

....Time has flown by and almost a year has past since our dear Min came into our lives... She is alittle shy around strangers but other wise she perks up at feeding time and lets us know she is hungry. She is very playful and likes to bat and play with balls....we are very happy with our ball of fluff and were happy doing business with Michelle and Purrs-of-Luv Cattery. Thank you again....

I can say nothing negative of experiences with my kitty Pinkston. He is the
sweetest, lovable kitty ever. I contacted Michelle first through email, via
her website. She quickly returned my inquiry and I contacted her by phone.
The weather was very cold and we were concerned with how I would be able to
get Pinkston since I was in NC and he was in PA. Pinkston joined our family
on January 24, 2004, as soon as he was old enough. The distance was no
problem we couldn't overcome, we were met half way, and I appreciate
Michelle's efforts in making this happen.... Every morning he is on my shoulder just purring away...........
He is also extremely playful, he likes to chase me up and down the hallway.... All I can say is that every experience with Pinkston has been
wonderful.....

Dear Himalayan Lovers:
It was good luck that I found the Purrs-of-Luv site and we have come to respect and appreciate all the work that has gone into this project.
By purchasing a kitten from an official cattery, I expected a precious and special kitten. What we received is so-o-o much more. Our kitten is gentle yet playful, smart, attentive, he is even obedient - yes, an obedient cat! - and ever so beautiful.
We are very sure all of this is due to Michelle's knowledge, love and individual care. She was careful to check that we would be caring and responsible owners. Michelle has been very quick to respond to my questions.
In every phase of our "adoption" Michelle has shown proof that the work, love and hours of care she has given to these wonderful pets has paid off for owners.
Thank you again Michelle......

"Tinkerbelle"
Darlene in Charleroi, PA writes:
In December 2004, I purchased my first Himmie, my first kitten, and I absolutely love this kitty.................
I looked into alot of bredders, but decided to go with Michelle. We are so glad that we did.
This kitty named Tinkerbelle is the most lovable kitten ever.
She loves to be held, she comes when you call her, she can't wait to get into her travel cage and go in the car,
she is patient when you give her a bath, need I say more, she is just perfect.
I truly believe alot of her personality came from the cattery where she was born.
When we went to pick her up, all the kittens came running in the we just couldn't believe how friendly and social
they were. My daughter and I feel in love right then............. She fit right into our lives.
My daughter spoils her to death, this is her baby! We all love Tinkerbelle, she is one wonderful and BEAUTIFUL cat.
I would tell anyone looking for a kitten to go to Purrs of Luv, without hesitation!
I had no idea what to expect when I bought this kitten online, but I am so glad I did.
Thanks Michelle for your beautiful breed on Himmies! We couldn't have done any better anywhere!.....

..............I bought two kittens from you, a blue-point (Romeo) and six months later a seal point (Vito). I just want you to know how happy we are with them. Romeo became a bit serious and territorial when I brought Vito home, but he has loosened up. He is really my baby and likes all of my attention. Vito has by far the best personality, I have ever seen in a cat. He is so friendly and warms up to anyone who comes near him. My fiancé and I just love them both with all our hearts and I would recommend you to anyone who is looking for a great breeder. Your cats have a wonderful and unique personality..................
Thanks so much for our special boys!

I purchased Winson from you in April of this year. When I originally contacted you I was just looking for a general cat to add to our family. What you bred, raised and then sold to us is so much more.
I never knew cats could have this much personality. He is playful, laidback and so luvable. I never expected to get so many kisses from one little kitty. I am also thankful that he was raised around your daycare. People that have been around us and watched our kids with him are amazed. Not once has he become defensive or aggresive towards them, and there are times I wouldn't have blamed him. Abbie puts him on her ktchen set and pretends that she's giving him a haircut. She puts bows and barrettes in his fur and he loves it! He just loves Abbie and that's where we find him everynight when it's bedtime...in bed with Abigail. He is truly a member of our family.
As for the help and assistance you provided, I can not say enough Thank-you's. From the very first email, you have replied back promptly and very straight-forward. I like the fact that I could email, call or reach you which ever way I felt most comfortable. Thank you for allowing me and my family to sit hours in your living room trying to pick which cat I wanted. Truthfully, I don't think I could have picked a bad one....they're all great. I know that you will always be there as a resource person for me as I continue to care for Winston.............. Even our vet thinks he is a great cat, and they have a himi at home too. He just laughs at him when he picks him up to check him out.
There is so much more I could write about you and your babies but until someone actually comes and meets you and all of the kings and queens, they just won't understand the love and special attention that your cats receive from you. I will definelty be purchasing another cat from you sometime in the future..................

......................I wanted to tell the story of how Isabella came into our lives, what she means to us, and how strongly we feel about you and your breeding program.
We already had a Himmy when we starting searching for another kitten. Her name is Zoe and she is a sweet little girl, but we thought that maybe she was lonely during the day and we decided to get her a friend. I didn't know where to start looking................So, I spent days searching the internet for breeder sites and reading ever word on their site and looking at the pictures of the kittens. Nothing caught my eye until I opened up your web site. Your site was detailed and I liked that it not only included pictures of the cats, but details about you and your philosophy. It was obvious from the site the love you feel for this breed.
So, I crossed my fingers and sent you an email. Within hours you had written back and we got the application process underway. Your screening process was thorough and I was pleased to know that your kittens wouldn't just go to anyone. So, we waited and hoped and then got the word that we could come and take a look and see what we thought and what you thought of us. Well, I was so totally blown away when I walked in. There were several cats in the living room, and when I approached them, they were as friendly as could be. Then the kittens came in the room - 5 little bundles of energy. I wanted to take them all home. Every last one. But there was one for us. She was so little, and beautiful and we were in love.
Today Isabella is 6 months old. She is the most social kitten I have ever seen. When the doorbell rings, she must think it is for her, because she runs to the door and waits. She is playful and beautiful and more than we could have ever hoped for. Not a day goes by that I don't thank my lucky stars that we found you and Purrs of Luv Cattery. The care and love that go into every kitten is evident. Michelle, you are truly a blessing to the Himalayan breed.
