Hello Louis! Just wanted to send you an updated picture of Milo at nearly four months of age. He loves his new home and gets along great with the dog and the other cat. In the picture he's sitting in his favorite chair. We all love him and spoil him rotten! But I sometimes catch him trying to eat dog food and I give him a quick spray of water from the spray bottle. Thank you so much for him! He is absolutely perfect in every way! I also sent you picture to show other prospective kitten buyers what beautiful kittens Susie and Shasta create.

To all prospective kitten buyers: I highly recommend buying a kitten from Louis as he is very fair, kind, honest and truly loves and cares about his kittens. They are very beautiful and VERY smart. My kitten was already litter trained and knew what a scratching post was. He even figured out how to use a cardboard clawing mat in my home, which he had never even seen before! I could tell that he was definitely given lots of love, affection and attention before I picked him up. He is very loving with a very gentle temperament. His kittens are a little more costly than other purebreds, but you definitely will get what you pay for. And the best is what you will get.

Thanks again Louis and I will continue to send more pics periodically.

Dear Louis,


We wish you the very best birthday ever. We hope everything is going well.


We could not have wished for a better kitten than Alexander the Great, he is a joy and we are laughing continually every day. He is amazing and he is not yet 4 months old.

Enclosed are a couple of pictures from June 11 so you can see how he has grown.

Love, Bonnie and Tom Callahan

Hi Louis,

I hope you are well. I wanted to give you an update on sweet Jasper. He is just an amazing kitten. Very social and everyone thinks he is the MOST gorgeous cat they have ever seen! His lynx points are really starting to show and he looks more and more like a "snow tiger" everyday. His vet check went very well and he has adjusted to life with us quite happily. He wakes us in the morning with purrs and kisses to our ears! Such a dear sweet boy. I've attached a picture and will send more soon. Thank you Louis for nurturing him and making him the most wonderful addition to our family.

Kindly,

Dear Louis -

It was so very lovely to meet you, and Snowy, and Chester, and of
course our as yet, un-named baby! You have a beautiful home and
there is such a sense of serenity - a perfect environment for cats.

We are getting along very very well with our kitty! I took this
picture in front of our son's house after we left you. The baby is
so sweet, but he is full of life and what a stinker! He really likes
to play!

More pictures to follow!

 Hi Louis,

Here is a small sampling of the many pics we have taken of our
adorable darlings. I had a great close up of TuTu but the lighting was
pale so back to the drawing board. They are growing faster than the dandelions
in our yard, but are happy and healthy. They have a follow up vet appointment
this coming Tuesday. Everything seems good in that regard.

TuTu is fearless when it comes to exploring the house where as Biffy is
cautious at first.TuTu and Bud seem to have a special relationship as she absolutely melts in his arms when he picks her up... Big time Daddy Girl. .Biffy is an equal opportunity lover and takes it where,when,and from whomever he can get it! He also likes his food and has been known to try and horn in on TuTu 's canned food as well.
They LOVE each other and cry ferociously if separated even for a minute.

Thank you again Louis for being our virtuoso breeder. Our home is no longer painfully quiet as the pounding of little paws fills it with joyous sounds. Did the book arrive? I will always think of you when I pick up my copy .Hopefully life is calming down for you.
Please tell Ted what a pleasure it was to meet him ,and most of all keep in touch when you have a spare moment.

We wish you all the best.

Lilac Lynx Point Female  (out of Lily & Zorro)

Hi!
I doubt you remember me. My name is Dr. Lori DeBold. I adopted an 
applehead siamese male from you in 2004 when you were still in North Hollywood. 
Anyway, I was looking at your site and saw the products, the food and 
the NuVet. Would you recommend I change from the Royal Canin feed to 
these products? 
 
Good to see you are still breeding cats. Buddy is a great cat and is 
beautiful!!! 

Best Regards,

Harper is the most amazing kitty I've ever had. She's more than that, she've become family. I would dearly love to have another of your cats - they are exceptional.

When will these kitties be ready to come home? I might be too early for me, but I surely would be tempted.

Louis!

Their plane was late, we had just gotten home and needed to get everyone settled so we could get a couple hours sleep before work today. Both the kittens are gorgeous! And very sweet and friendly, especially the little girl. And you are right about the boy, it's hard to tell if he's seal or chocolate By all appearances except footpads, he looks like a seal with fabulous contrast. Those footpads, though, look more like a chocolate. Hmmm? Thank you again for raising such beauties. We'll keep you informed about how they're doing.

Sincerely,

Adrienne with Obesession Cattery in Indiana

Hi Louis


Everyone is doing well here, the last Seal Pt you shipped in, just has a fantastic personality, wants to purr and snuggle all night under the covers. She is even putting up with the dog, will lay on the bed with the dog but hisses at her when she tries to lick her.


Pa is in a deep freeze in the low teens with 40 to 50 mile winds poor Koi are cold must get some new heaters today to break the pond ice up.


Leaving for Ca Tuesday hope to warm up a little.

Hello Louis dear,

Greetings from SF! I hope all is well with you. I see from your website that it has been a "productive" summer! Lord, that Zorro is a gorgeous guy!!!

Princess Salome continues to delight us every day. It's our third anniversary (it was July 18, 2006, when you came to my sister's house in Lynnwood with your special delivery!). She's my dumpling drop, la principessa, Prinzessin Poot, my Princess Pie. I love her. Daniel dotes on her, and she adores him.

She has become quite vocal and one of her other nicknames is Princess MewMew. Also Princess YumYum, after the japanese bonito flakes she loves. We serve them to her on her own special fishy dishy, a butter dish I stole from a seafood restaurant that shall remain nameless; it has little fish swimming around the border. I'm nuts about this cat. Ridiculous.

She loves to be brushed. All I have to do is hold her little pink brush down to her and she starts rubbing against it and purring. Then the base of her tail bushes out and she fluffs herself up and prances around. We call her our "teenager" because of the way she plops her way down the stairs--bump bump bump bump bump! We can always tell it's her...None of our other cats sounds quite like that!

Below are some photos taken on July 18. Sure wish I could adopt another one from you! But I guess Salome just has to be enough for the present. I'm so glad you continue to make beautiful kitties. Daniel and I consider Salome a work of art, perfect poetry.

Drop a note when you can. I'd love to hear from you!

Best regards,
Christie Springer

Just had to write to say that we adore baby Chase…that is what we named him and it is perfect – he chases EVERYTHING and is a bit naughty to boot!!! He is getting on well with Olive (Sean’s Ragdoll) so that’s good for both of them. Thanks again for picking us to be his new “parents”. Would love to have you out if you are ever in Issaquah. Thanks again!

To Whom it May Concern:

In October of 2008, I decided I wanted to start breeding lynx point Siamese cats. That sounds a lot easier then it was. After numerous hang ups and slams, I almost gave up. then I found Louis of Permes cats. The first night we talked although he was preparing for a trip he talked to me for 2 hours educating me, but also making sure i was the correct place to potentially send one of his precious babies. He was so honest with me, and I trusted him to pick out the perfect kitten to begin my program with. I ended up with the most beautiful kitten Saphira a blue lynx point Siamese. She had just been born and it was a four month wait to get her! During this time I decided I wanted a male also, that I didn't want to get stuck studding to my precious little girl. Again Louis parted with a very special male Simon a seal point Siamese, that he could have sold numerous times, but decided I was the person for him. Simon was ready to come home then. Simon flew 3000 miles to me 2 weeks later. When I opened his crate I had never seen a more beautiful animal. It took about a week for him to come near me, (he was already 5 months old and flew so far) but when he did it was a bond I never imagined having with a cat. To this day Simon sleeps beside me every night and follows me around like a child. I couldn't ask for better. When i took him to the vet, my vet was shocked and at a loss for words. He said Simon was the most beautiful Siamese, or never mind that, most beautiful cat he had ever seen. He was in perfect health, I had people swooning over him at the vets office giving me phone numbers to call when I had kittens asking to leave me deposits, I had to tell them all that saphira was only 2 weeks old and it would be about a year before I had any. Soon it was time to bring Saphira home. After a 3000 mile flight she instantly let me hold her the entire way home. My husband and I put saphira in our room so she could get used to her surroundings before the other cats got near her. Within a day her and Simon were howling through the door to each other. They were instantly in love. Again, I took Saphira to the vet, and this time my vet told me he had lied to me, although he didn't know it then, that Saphira was the most beautiful cat he had ever seen, and she was so rare it made her all the more beautiful. She was healthy as can be. Not even the slightest problem. They were both so well socialized, and the bond they have to me is irreplaceable. Louis made everything possible for me, He is a wonderful person, and friend. He isn't a breeder who just cares about getting a sale. He cares about you, and most importantly he cares about his cats. I would never ever go to another breeder if I had the option of Louis first. His kittens are top of the line and worth the wait and price. Thank you so much Louis, here are some pictures of the babies

Hi Louis - just wanted to give you an update on the wonderful Lilac point boy I adopted last October. His name is Trouble and he has been such a joy. He gets along beautifully with my Bengal girl and is so loving towards everyone. They are best friends and are always playing, sleeping or adventuring around together. His coat has gotten very soft and his eyes are still bright blue. Just wanted to thank you again for matching me with him, he has been perfect!

Tarrah  / Seattle, WA / 5/14/09

PS - here are some photos of him

Hi Louis,

I hope you and yours are all well. All is well here; Maya is growing and doing wonderfully.  She and BeeBee have the run of the house as well. So far Maya is staying on one floor and is very happy with that. She has a GREAT temperament - very calm, affectionate but not needy, and she's friendly with both people and cats. She has made friends with BeeBee and now they play and get their kitten energy out, and then sleep near each other in their own beds. I've enclosed a picture of her as we get her used to 'photoshoots' on our little photo table. :)

Thanks you.

All the best,

Hey Louis~

Just thought I'd drop you a little note. Things are going very well. She has adjusted great!! We love her so much. The first night was a little iffy... she would sleep for a couple of hours and then want to play. It was ok, though. She pretty much sleeps all night now. She and the dog are getting along as well as can be expected. Lol. They like to play but the dog has to learn the boundaries a little better. All in all they are doing very well. Hope you are doing well! When is the next time you're gonna have a litter?

Lisa  / Tacoma, WA / 5/7/09

P.S. Hope you enjoy the pictures...

Dear  Louis,

These photos may not show how Taj's color is developing, but I think you can see something about his personality. (and these are the only photos I know how to send at this point) Here he is with my friend's two-year-old. They can entertain each other for an hour at a time. It's wonderful. When I become more digitally competent, I'll send you some better shots of Taj's face. He's still very light, and soft, and lovely.
Thanks.

Warmly, Deb in Tucson

To Whom it may concern:

Last November I started looking for companion for my Simba (Seal Point) Siamese. I was really interested in adopting a blue point Siamese young adult cat. At that time I was working full time and did not want to raise kitten due to my work schedule. I really didn't think it would be fair to bring a kitten home and not have someone around to care for him during the day. I started searching web sites and that's how I found Louis with Permes Cats. I was very interested in the adult female named Tilly he had available and posted on his site. Unfortunately soon after my initial contact with Louis I was layed off due to State Layoffs. With this layoff came a change in my schedule, which now certainly opened up a strong possibility of adopting a kitten instead.

I called and talked to Louis, however with my change of income I wasn't sure I should be spending that much on a kitten. He said he understood and gave me other options and referred me to Craiglist as well other pet directories where I could find cat/kitten to fit my budget. Who knew they sold cats on Craig's List? I checked web sites from Bellingham to Oregon, I talked to animal rescue organizations. Several e-mailed me pictures, but I kept going back to Louis's site. I also checked every cat on the web site not only did he have the best cats, but this was a man that took the time to discuss my options and refer me to different sources to obtain a kitten within my price range and budget. So after searching high and low, I came back to Louis and decided he was the best choice to get a kitten from. So this is how Sherlock came into my family. I've had many conversations with Louis starting in November and lasting until mid January; up until Sherlock was old enough to leave his Mom. Louis gave me the name of an organic cat food and vitamins to make sure Sherlock has the best start in life, which also benefited my Simba. Louis is a conscientious breeder who looks after the well being of his kittens/cats and his customers. He has his kittens vet check, wormed and vaccinated so you know you are getting a healthy baby.

I live in Yakima and with the Winter conditions over the pass I couldn't go to Poulsbo to select my kitten, so asked Louis for the most loving and social kitten possible and I got exactly what I asked for. Louis interviewed me, asking me a series of questions about what I wanted in a kitten and matched me up with one that fit my description. If you need someone to pick out your kitten I would certainly recommend Louis.

I could tell Sherlock had received a lot of time and attention. It took one day to explore his new surroundings and adapt to Simba. He is the sweetest most loving kitten. He is jet propelled , playful, curious, and no matter what he gets into during the day when he curls up in my lap and gives me that how cute am I look; none of it really matters.

I got a best friend for Simba, the best kitten ever and a backup in Louis should I ever have any questions. I feel so incredibly lucky that I found the Permes web site and that Louis entrusted me with one of his kittens.

And I have to say Sherlock is the most handsome and awesome kitten ever!!!

Thank you Louis.

Dear Louis,

Just a quick note to let you know that all six cats we acquired from you are doing well. The kittens that we are producing are truly second to none. One might think that the distance from Washington to Vermont would hamper smooth transactions between cat breeders but it seems that you are right next door. You have been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to a long and healthy relationship with the continued focus on protecting and promoting these incredible breed of cats.

Best Regards,

To Whom it may concern:

We have two wonderful Lynx Points from Permes Cattery – Kua’ana and Kanaka. Louis Azcarate has been fantastic to work with. He cares about both the cats and the adopters. He works very hard to deliver a kitten that matches the desires of the new owners, as well as make sure that the kitten and owner have compatible personalities. Our kittens have adapted very quickly and bonded to us. Kua’ana, our female Blue Lynx Point, is very loving, extremely playful and puppy-like – she has bonded to Linda and follows her around where ever she goes. Kanaka, our male Chocolate Lynx Point, is refined, vocal, loving and mellow – like Cliff, and has bonded to him. Not only do their personalities match ours, but they compliment one another.

Even though the kittens were from different litters and adopted a month apart, the two adjusted to each other within one day and are now inseparable. We picked Kanaka up from Louis and immediately left for a weekend trip with him and Kua’ana. They did fantastic. We have traveled with them all but one weekend since adopting them, and they travel contently and adjust to their new weekend environment seamlessly.

We highly recommend Permes Cattery and Louis Azcarate. He is honest and works hard to make sure that his kittens go to loving homes with the right owners. We are happy to talk with anyone who has questions about adopting from Permes Cattery or Louis Azcarate.

 Hi Louis,

I just wanted to let you know everything is going great. As soon as I went out and bought some clay litter the other night I came home and found him already in the box!

He has free range of the house now and is doing great. The older cat is handling it very well, she will hiss at him once and then follow him around and watch him. So it seems she's more curious than anything, which is a good sign.

He has the best personality: so easy going and loveable. He's very tolerant of Margo wanting to carry him around and show him things. He's just seems very happy and content all the time; we love having him around!

Sollie decided to name him "Yoki". Something I think he made up. I looked it up on a baby name website and it's actually a Hopi Indian girl name that means, "it has been raining, or just rain". Then Margo wanted to call him "Pokey Yoki" and then "Marshmellow", so I think his official name now is Yoki Pokey Marshmellow. I'm just calling him Yoki.

You can see how happy the kids are to have a cat to love on. Yoki seems just as happy with all the attention.

Just wanted to let you know that everything is going really well!

Thanks again!

Hello Louis,

I purchased a cat from you several years ago out of Suki and Janus. He is a gorgeous seal point boy. I call him Rama. He is very large, about 9 lbs, not fat and is the best cat in the whole wide world. He is easy going,calm, he lays in my whelping box with my moms and their puppies. He plays with the baby berner puppies and teaches them how to play with cats. However he is also very attached to my brother who is moving out of my home and would like to take him with him to his new home with one of my dogs. I won't let him go until I find out if it is possible to find another baby boy kitten like him. I noticed that the MI component of you cattery has a young queen out of Suki and Janus. Do you have plans on breeding her and if so to whom. Also your young male in WA is gorgeous. What plans do you have for kittens. I would like to find one that is a seal point but the temperament and size are more important than color. Thank you for sending me the most perfect cat in the world. I hope you can find a second most perfect cat in the world.

Thank you, Ellen Lechner
