So many times we have seen negative posts about breeders and show cats owners. I am not just referencing this site but all sites. It is so easy to relate the negative and forget the positive, I confess, at times I have been one of them.I believe it is time I commend a breeder and showman.
I do know there are many good breeders and we have many of them on this site but every now and then there is one that stands out among the rest.
I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND TRACY BAYAREN OF RARE EARTH CATS.
She goes the one step further to see her kittens and cats are healthy. She sees they are socialized and content to enter the realm of humanhood adoption.
She makes sure her breeders are healthy and happy an loved. She has them tested for genetic disease so not to breed cats that would pass on a trait . She sees they have excellant vet care and does not mass breed to make a dollar.
She knows each and every cat or kitten she has. She interacts with all of them on a daily basis. She makes sure the familys that adopt them are loving and caring and can handle the special tasks Persians need. She sees they have thier shots, and are spayed or neutered before she lets them go to thier new homes. She has an excellant contract that benefits, her and the new owners and the kitty..if something should happen and a new owner cannot keep her cat or kittens she has them return them to her to rehome. Even when rehoming her cats she does not rush to adopt them out. She has them checked by the vet, watches how they react to family and other kittys,gets to know thier personality so she can place them in the right home for them.
She not only breeds and shows but she KNOWS the what and where and how of a Persian.
Tracy is a true breeder and showman of quality ethics and morals.
She has made many of our members very happy and filled some sad and empty hearts with love and happiness. I know that if anyone was to get a cat from Tracy they would have a healthy and loving cat or kitten . She backs everyone of her cats.. She is a true cat lover.
I have recommended her to friends and would not hesitate to do it again, I am so confident in her values. If "God forbid" something should ever happen to Miss Bluie, she is where I will go. Tracy, my hat is off to you "in my book, you are first rate an first prize breeder and showman.. Pat

What a nice posting. And she's always there with good advice and a positive attitude.

What a lovley post, Pat!
I couldn't agree more with all
you have said.
Tracy is a great breeder and her cats
are truly awesome!

Purrs,
Joan

That's so sweet, Pat I am sure Tracy will be so happy to read it!
She is also very kind to help us out when something is wrong or we have questions about a diagnosis.
I tell ya, I feel better hearing advice from a lot of our members than I do my vet sometimes....it just means more when it comes from people who have been through so much with different persians.

I agree! I enjoy reading her helpful posts and seeing pictures of her beautiful kitties.

I just got back from dropping Whirlwind off at the airport and was thrilled to see this post! It's so nice to be recognized- especially when it comes from someone like Pat, whose standards are very high!

It truly is my pleasure to place pets with Persian-cats.com members. I know they will recieve exceptional care and will be treated like Family Members rather than merely possessions or worse! These lovely creatures are my life, and I can think of no better mission than to spread happiness and love by providing people with the opportunity to have a well bred and healthy Persian share their lives.

Thank you Pat for your very kind words~ they are SO appreciated~!

Pat, I couldn't agree more!
What a lovely post for a lovely person.
Tracy is one of the best!

There are many happy Rare Earth moms here, great post Pat. I think we had some of the best most commendable breeders out there on this sight and Tracy is one of them. I am so happy she has stayed with us to contribute and help us, along with a few other wonderful breeders. Thank You Tracy.

A lovely post Pat,and I couldnt agree more with everything you have written!
