Hi Louis!

I adopted a Seal Point Siamese kitten from you, we named him Locker Bleu.  He is an absolutely amazing cat.  He is so intelligent and trainable, which has made him even more fun than we expected.  Everyone who meets him is simply amazed.  He always comes when we say his name.  He is however a bit lonely, even though he is king of the house, and after having fostered and adopting out a kitten recently we are thinking it may be really nice to get another Siamese kitten.  I was curious if you would be expecting any litters coming up.  We would like to wait for a blue point male.  If in the off chance you had a blue point male with violet eyes come up that would be my preference.  Not sure if you have any at this time, if not we are happy to wait as long as we need to.

Thank you,

Dear Louis,

I've written this recommendation of your work to share with others.

Over the years, two of our beautiful siamese cats, one a seal point, the other a chocolate point came from Louis Azcarate's feline family.  We are 100% pleased with the breeding expertise, pre-adoption parenting, and follow-up that Louis provides each cat.  Because of his knowledge and experience, our kittens arrived wonderfully healthy, litter trained and full of spunk.  If you are looking for an agile, gorgeous kitten, bred for years of companionship, I recommend talking to Louis.

Thank you,

Louis,

I cant' begin to tell you how happy I am with my ZZ.  He is the most beautiful cat I have ever had inside and out.  You did a wonderful job with him.  He is a full time playboy! When he isn't playing he plops on my lap for me to tell him; "What a beautiful little face you have". And purr, purr, purr.  He has a clean bill of health, is eating like a piggy, drinking his goats milk formula and drinking his water.  He uses his litter box and sleeps through the night.  He never cries!  I want you to tell me how you managed to teach him all of those things so well?  He is teething and trying to chew my fingers now.  I think I will look for a rubber puppy bone for him.  What do you think? 

Below are some pictures I took of him so you can see how happy he is.

Thank you,

Hi Louis,

Just updating you that I took the boys to the vet Tuesday and our vet was very pleased with the kittens and their blood work came back normal as expected.  Our vet said, "your breeder did a very good job, these kittens look great".  Just as you said I'd hear.  Also, Everyone was commenting on how gorgeous and cute they are.  I was a proud mama!  They are warming up to me more and more, and letting me hold them for longer periods of time instead of jumping down after a moment of being in my arms.  I haven't got much sleep because I've just been up late playing with them as well as during the day.  They seems to start asleep allot if I'm not in the room.  They just melt my heart every day!  I love them.  Just wanted to fill you in.

Below is a picture of them in their new Kitty Condo tree.

Hi Louis,

Happy New Year!  I just realized I have late Christmas card and neuter certificate to mail to you but can't find your home address.

Butters is doing Great! He will never shake the "Butters" as he was such a lil guy for a while but he has recently added "del Toro".  You were right - he is the son of Zorro and he races around the house like bull - itts hilarious.  He is also learning all kinds of bad habits from his older brother the Bengal - Butters is now quite the jumper.

Attached is a photo - They are both beatiful and sweet; most of the time.

Kind Regards,

Hi Louis,

How are you?  Hope all is going well for you and the kittens!  I thought I would send along a couple of pictures of Maiu (rhymes with bayou) I named her after a friend .....she adorable - and such a good little kitten.  She is so beautiful and we love her.  She already rules the home.

Maiu spent the first couple of weeks in her own room (our spare bedroom) but now she's fully aclimated to the house and our standard poodle.  They play together and it wont be long before they are inseparable, I think.  I staged the pitures where thye're together, but neither of them panicked or moved, so I think I'll be able to get a Christmas pic of the two of them together.

Maiu is a real snuggler - loves to sleep or doze or be worshiped right on my chest (or my husband's chest).  She purrs nonstop.  We got her a cat condo - its in the living room and she loves to run to it, play on it and sleep in it.

She's really a beautiful sweetie - very glad to have her part of our lives.  Thank you for letting us adopt her.  Take Care,

Hi Louis,

A quick note to tell you Bailey is a great cat.  I don't think we've ever had one that thought he was a dog.  He fits right in and we love him very much.  Thank you again for allowing us to buy such a great kitten.

 Tony / Seattle  10/29/11

Hi Louis,

Hope you and yours are well.  It is a stunning Fall day here and everyone in our neighborhood is decorating for Halloween.  Very spooky.

Scottie is an absolute jewel in every way.  So handsome and smart and funny and crafty and mischievous and so loving.  He doesn't know a stranger and loves Dash and Matisee and Picasso.  He follows Dash around and wants to do eveything he does.  I have had and know many felines in my life and have loved or love them all, but this little guy has something extra going on.  I am so in love with him I just had to tell you how wonderful he is.  Micheal feels the same way as well.

I wondered what you thought of my possibly showing him at one of our local cats shows in the applehead classification?  Just curious, also Dash because of his stunning beauty and calm demeanor?

How is Snowie?  I'm keeping tabs on her as well. :)

Fondly,

Dear Louis:

Just wanted to let you know that our kitten, Frodo is doing splendidly.  He is now 4 months, about 4lbs, and quite a scamp.  We never seen such an energetic kitten.  When he is tired he does love to sit with us.  We are really enjoying him.  Hope you are well.

Good Afternoon Louis,

Little Thomas is amazing.  He is continually full of surprises.  I was worried about him getting along with Bentley as it took Bentley a year to adjust to Cecil and Isaac.  He had never seen other cats before Cecil and Isaac, not to mention his never having played with another cat.  Well, Bentley is actually playing with Thomas!  Yesterday, Bentley was laying on his side while Thomas was on top of him chewing on his neck.  My jax dropped and I called Caroline to see it.

Caroline reads to Thomas as she did with Cecil and Isaac.  I think it really hastened the bonding.  I can see Thomas idolized Caroline and follows her around as well as sleeping alongside her head.  Thomas was a lot more well-adjusted than Bentley when I first got him.  Shows a real difference between breeders.

Hi Louis,

Last June I became a care giver to one of the most beautiful and wonderful cats in existence, one of your Balinese kittens.  We call her Miu Miu.  Every time I look at her I can't believe how fortunate I am.  She's too good to be true.  Sweet, very playful, very affectionate, gets along with my other cats, and has adjusted to our home far better than I could hope for.  And she's sooo beautiful with a huge, fluffy tail.  Lilac point is even prettier than bluepoint.  I have attached a photo so you can see how she's growing and I hope that she is as happy with us as we are with her.  Thank you for sending us this great kitty.  I'm looking forward to spending a long and happy life with her.

Louis, just a quick update. Within hours our new kitty (named Finnigan Wyatt Wales, or Finn for short), settled in and spent most of the evening vying for our attention and purring. He is doing marvelously well with the girls and is soooo gentle with them! They are very cautious around him, but he lets them pat him and even pick him up. Attached a few photos. The first 2 are from yesterday and as you can see he was happy to lie with the girls and immediately took to my husbands chest! The last photo was taken just moments ago. I was putting our 3 year old to bed and he followed us into the bedroom, hopped up and you can see what resulted with absolutely no prompting or staging from us.
I am delighted to say, I think he is the perfect fit, both in his social and gentle personality with the girls and of course with his stunning beauty.

Thanks again!

Hi Louis,

It was so nice to talk to you yesterday. I am so thankful that you let Raini come home with us and become part of our family. She is our pride and joy. She is so perfect! Today is one week and I already don't know what I'd do without her. I am in LOVE! I truly feel she was meant to be with us. She has such a great personality. She brings me such joy, I have had a smile on my face for a week straight.

She loves to chase her toy mice on the tile so she can run really fast and slide as she bats around her toys. If I throw the mice off the bed she will run and launch herself off the side and is starting to pick them up and carry them. I think she will be bringing them back to me in a day or two. Last night she slept on top of me, when I would roll over and set her on the bed she would climb back on me and purr with her loud motor and lick and give love bites. She also loves to crawl down between the sheets and sleep under the covers.

She is very coordinated and loves to pounce on anything that moves. She has a good appetite and seems to be adjusting very well. Attached are a few pictures that Ii took with my phone, It’s hard to keep her still, she is a very busy little peanut. I will take some better ones with my camera and sent to you soon.


Louis, I cant thank you enough for our baby girl!

I can see why you didn't want to let her go.

Take care and all my best,

-Tina - Utah

Hi Louis,


I realized it's been a while since I sent you pictures of Jamaica (Lilliana x Janus). He is my pride and joy, and I love him more than you can ever imagine. He's the best cat, and we are completely inseparable. Thank you for selling him to me.


Last year (2010), he won the Microsoft Cat Calendar contest and was the featured cat for the month of June. Here are a few pictures of my baby. You raise the most wonderful animals, and I look forward to purchasing from you again in the future!


p.s. in case you are wondering, he is not an outdoor kitty. Our cats only go outside supervised by both my husband and I and are contained by a six foot fence. He adores the various grasses, and he runs crazy-like down the back fence line. He just loves it!


I can't believe it, but he's already 6 years old. It seems like just yesterday – I definitely haven't gotten to spend enough time with him. He is such a gem and a critical part of our family.


Jamaica and I hope you and your kitties are all doing well! Keep us posted on your new additions. I keep a close eye on your website. Next time, I might want a chocolate point! :-) I have a rescue kitty that is a lynx point Siamese, but I always thought a chocolate point would be nice. Knowing the quality and loving nature of the kitties you raise, I'm definitely buying from you again.


Take care and God bless!

Hi Louis,

I am finally getting around to writing you to tell you how absolutely wonderful all your fabulous felines are, especially our precious Lillian and Dashiell. They have slipped seamlessly into our lives, our home, our two older Lilac Point Siamese boys, and our hearts.

You made the entire transaction such a pleasure from the first phone inquiry the day before our babies were born, until we left your house to all board a plane back to Los Angeles. You selected the two kittens who would be the best pair for our household based on what we told you we would need, and you were absolutely right. I have had Siamese/ Balinese cats all of my life, and Dash and Lillian are turning out to be among the sweetest, smartest, most beautiful, and most loving of all our cats, and we know without question that it is because of all the love, care, and sweat you put into raising such phenomenal kittens.

I would not hesitate to recommend you and your cattery to anyone looking to add one of these precious kittens or adults to their family. You may feel free to give my name and contact information to prospective clients who might be seeking additional information about your program.

Fondly,

Kelly & Michael

My name is Steve Walker and I adopted a female kitten from you 3 years ago January 5th (2008). Her name is Reggie. At the time I lived in Grand Rapids.

Two years ago we moved to Columbus, Ohio. I really meant to update you earlier. I can not say enough about Reggie. We had a bond after the first day. There was no adjustment period. She has trained me to do several tricks but, I can tell that she thinks I'm a little slow to catch on (based on some of the looks she gives me). She is very vocal and likes to play. She is more like a roommate than a pet. As a matter of fact "pet" does not even fit her.

I am a fan of Permes Cattery! Based on my experience with My Reggie, I would recommend Permes Cattery to anyone who is seriously considering adopting. I have attached a picture of Reggie (taken just before Christmas) . She is loved and very spoiled. Thanks to your dedication and commitment I have Reggie. The process leading up to adoption was a high quality experience.

Regards,

Dear Louis,


Mitsos has made it safely to Boston and is now at home with me. He is absolutely adorable. It took him minutes to warm up to me. He is still exploring, but we did have a play session with him earlier on! I want to thank you for everything. I will send more news and pictures in some time, when he is fully acclimated.
Feel free to contact me whenever.

Dear Louis,

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas.  I just wanted to tell you how in love I am with the two kittens I adopted from you.  Both of them are wonderful.  I have not had one single problem with either one of them since they arrived.  From day one they made themselves at home.  I am a proud and doting mother.

Thank you for providing me with such a beautiful set of kittens.  Both have deep saphire blue eyes and very sweet dispositions.  Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,

Holiday Greetings to you Louis and Family,

We wish you a very Merry Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Thought you would enjoy these pictures of Peanut and Cookie.  They are so funny together and you can see they love each other more and more by the day.  :)  Cookie is just a kitten so Peanut doesn't always find her "pouncing" humerus. 

We love them dearly.  Thank you.

Chocolate Point Balinese female daughter of Snowie

Dear Louis,

I wanted you to know how the kitties are doing. Robert’s mother and sister came for dinner yesterday because they wanted to meet the kitties. They are from Seattle and I was worried they would come all that way and not see them at all.They had taken up residence in the closet. Of course they had food, a bed with a heating pad, toys and their scratching post plus the cat box so there was no need for them to come out. But by golly they were not the least bit afraid. They played all over the bedroom where we all sat and watched, they wrestled each other, they let all of us pet them and Finnegan actually raced out of the bedroom, down the hall, and downstairs to the second floor...and back. So everyone had a fabulously entertaining Christmas thanks to the kitties. We all adore them. They are eating and sleeping well so not to worry about them. We are enjoying them immensely. Thanks for giving them such a great start to life.

Fondly, Beth

Hi Louis,

That is wonderful that you are doing well. You know your individual cats so well and have matched them up with us perfectly.
Louis, here are a few pix of Cami attached. Tomorrow, I will take some shots of the most beautiful 9 month old male cat (Miki) you have ever produced and some newer ones of the 5 month old female kitten (Cami) who is equally beautiful.

Scott says hi. He is playing with Cami who he says is really an acrobat and a great cat- in a league of her own, has a great temperament. She plays by herself and/or brings him or me her toys when she wants us to play.

You take it easy now, my friend.

Thank you very much,

Hi Louis,

I'm finally emailing you to give you an update on our baby boy who we named Kati (the a is pronounced as u) I made up the name as I wanted something that sounded like a Thailand name. He's already growing like crazy and is starting to have a dragging little pot belly! He has a thick fur coat that is sooooo soft! We love him so much and he's just our little pride and joy! We love both the kittens but the other one (Yochai) is a little stinker about going to bed at night while Kati just settles down right away and goes to sleep. Kati just does whatever we want him to do! He's so good and is wonderful about putting up with Yochai biting his tail and bugging him , etc. We wish you, your daughter and the cats all a happy Thanksgiving! Kati sends his love! He gets kissed, cuddled and loved so much every day and is a happy baby boy! Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you once again,

 Dear Louis,

This letter to you is LONG overdue. I have no good excuse so I won’t even try. I want to express how grateful I am that you allowed me to adopt Willow who you called “Bear”. He is the perfect cat for me! Though he is shy with strangers or people he doesn’t see often, he is very affectionate with me. Before I knew it, he was buddies with Charlie. I must admit I was a little jealous until I could see that I was still his human of preference! Willow has so many predictable habits. If I call “shower kitty”, he runs from wherever he is to the bathroom, curls up on my robe and waits for me to step out for me to pick him up and snuggle. If he doesn’t come quick enough and I close the door, I find him waiting outside the door wondering why I locked him out. Every night, at some point he paws at my right arm so that I open it up so that he can snuggle in. Then he chokes me by kneading me on the neck and purrs until he falls asleep (thank God, I can breathe again). When I come home he races downstairs to say “hello, I’m right here.” He also leaps off of his cat tree when I walk in the room to nudge my leg.

Willow is an extremely playful cat. He rummages through his toy basket until he finds something he feels like playing with and pulls it out. Sometimes that requires a glance in my direction saying “I can’t do this one alone, mom. Can you help me with this?” He also loves playing hide and seek. If I follow him upstairs, I’ll suddenly disappear until he runs back to find me peeking around a corner. He then plays the curious game until he can resist no longer and rushes up on me.

The most intriguing thing I’ve seen Willow do is to play with our black lab, Maia. Given his shy nature, I would have thought he would keep his distance from her. Surprisingly though, he struck up a friendship with her. They play when Willow is in the mood. It gets so rough that it’s a wonder that the kitty comes back for more. Maia pushes (or tosses) Willow with her nose and completely rolls over him! He does take off at that point but comes back for more within minutes. I can’t figure this out as he still runs from friends we have over.

I didn’t mention how absolutely gorgeous he is. His blue eyes are amazing! The depth of color almost doesn’t seem real! His coat is a beautiful white and his lilac/frost tips are subtle. The texture of his coat is silky soft and fluffy. He is the cat I hoped for when I began my search. I had taken in 2 strays over the years and almost adopted a Siamese from a shelter but that didn’t work out. I then decided to buy the kind of kitten that I wanted and not feel guilty about it. A lilac, male Balinese was my dream cat. Though you were hesitant at first as you were considering keeping him for breading, you finally decided to part with him. Lucky for me, he is perfect. Lucky for him, as he leads a relaxing life and is well loved and even spoiled. Thank you again for choosing me to be Willow’s “mom”. Thank you also for being patient with my millions of questions. You were so easy to work with from hundreds of miles away! I will recommend you to anyone who asks for a trustworthy and reliable breeder.

Your website looks great. Many new things are going on at Permes Cats. The kittens are beautiful and your new breading cats look amazing! Keep up the wonderful work, Louis.

Hi,
I hope you got my voicemail a few weeks ago telling you that little Truman is doing great! You'll be happy to know that he is a jumper just like his father-he is all over the place and so fast. We've had many cats and he is by far the smartest.

We no longer feel like empty nesters-he keeps up busy and very amused. When he gets tired he sleeps in the bed with us.
He's SUCH a character in so many ways. He hardly talks except when he's in the litter box-it's like he wants us to know that he is in there-never had a cat do that. When he is calm and sit's on our laps we pet him and call him the "purr machine" since he purrs the whole time we are petting him. Such a loving cat. You sure know how to raise them!
We lost our camera but will get a new one and send pictures-he is growing fast.

We have not heard back from the other folks from Portland but I'm sure they are happy too.

Take good care,
Jamie

Hi Louis!

First of all I wanted to say thank you for sending me the most handsome kitty I've ever seen in my life! His eyes are gorgeous and his coloring is coming in beautifully; Everyone who meets him is amazed at what a stud he is!!! I also wanted to thank you for the tremendous amount of care that you put into raising a healthy and happy kitten. All the attention and love that you showered him with really helped develop his unique personality. He is adjusting so well to his new surroundings and now has me wrapped around his little paw! He loves to play, and loves to cuddle even more than that! He is a sweetheart and has definitely taken over my heart! I hope by the pictures you see why he is helping me get through law school with a smile! Thank you again for making my little chunky monkey possible!

With lots of love,
Jordan & Atticus

 Hi Louis,

I just wanted to give you an update on our little kitty girl, Klahhane. She is the most loving, clever girl. We truly adore her and she is having a great time playing and exploring her new environment. We have a small home at the coast and she is out here for her first weekend. I am amazed at how well she adjusts to new things. I am sending a photo and will send more later after I download them from my camera. This one I took with the computer, so it is not as clear as the others.


Thanks so much for our beautiful kitty,

Dear Louis,

Thank you for your phone call.  It was nice hearing from you.

Enclosed are three pictures of our Tobiah "Toby"  We thought you would enjoy seeing and proof of his neurtering.  As I mentioned to you on the email message, Tody is wonderful!!! I have owned cats all my life and he is without a doubt the most loving little sweetheart of a cat I have ever seen.  He loves to snuggle and play.  He can also get into a fair amount of mischief! We love watching him learn and enjoy himself.  When we put him to bed in his nersery at night, we don't hear a peep out of him until morning.  That's when he loves to jump up on the bed and spend 45 minutes or so snuggling under my chin and purring to beat all!  Then he falls asleep again and snores, usually with his head on my pillow!  He is personality galore, thats' for sure to.

Thank you Again for all your loving care rasing him for those first three months.  It paid dividends!

Sincerely,

Sylvia and Harold  10/6/10

Kitten is out of Belina and Shasta

Hi Louis!

I photographed ZsaZsa on her second birthday in June, She is a wonderful companion to
Patricia and I and her personality fills our apartment. ZsaZsa clearly lives up to her
Hungarian namesake. She has an incessant curiosity and imagination for people, places
and things, even to the point of sitting in front of the TV and watching a show, especially
ravens, other birds and other animals on Nat. Geo. Shoelaces, drawstrings and other
hanging objects are always entertaining to het, as is running out in the hallway when she
thinks that she can get away with it. She is very put-upon when she realizes that she will be
brought back She loves to lie on the desk in our office, lying among papers that she
sometimes will scatter.

She greets our family and friends, sometimes sitting near them until they pay attention to
her, which of course happens rather quickly. Her relationship with our 4 year-old
granddaughter is a special one, even to the point of letting Eva rub her back. When Eva
was 2, ZsaZsa would occasionally become upset with her if she played tough. Now, Eva
playfully hisses at ZsaZsa to tease her. A quizzical look always follows. We have a cloth
figure shaped toy that is tied to a string at the end of a wand. When I play with her, she
believes that the toy is a bird and will leap a foot off the ground to catch it. When she loses
patience with me, she will pick the toy up and carry it to the other end of the apartment and
sit on top of it.

At night, ZsaZsa will sometimes climb under the coves and sleep next to me and she
regularly licks our hair for minutes at a time. If Patricia and I are gone for several hours,
and when we return home, ZsaZsa will dash about the apartment for minutes at a time.
She has many places to nap, although she always makes sure that she is able to watch one or
both of us if she wishes. Whenever we exchange long looks, she will always run after us.
One of our biggest fears was that Zsa Zsa would claw our funiture or not use her litter box
properly. We ate so pleased that she responded well to the cat-climber and has very clean
habits, so our fears were quickly laid to rest. She is a beautiful girl and it seems that she takes
great pride in her beauty - zsa zsa is a huge part of our family and we love het dearly.

Kitten is out of Susie and Shasta

 Hi Louis,



It has been four months now and Nena is growing from the little girl afraid of her brothers to the most adorable and precious Siamese ever. She has grown so much in both size and character. She plays fetch and delivers a little mouse with the pride of a hunter. When we play with her feather bird, she growls with the kill. She is my little dog. When I come home she prances up to me with her tail wagging side to side like a puppy, and follows me from room to room. Like all cats, she loves the night. But when she is finally exhausted she crawls under the covers about for about an hour and then she goes to her own bed. In the morning she reverses course to come back to under the covers again to take a nap before starting her busy day. We take walks on the sidewalk. The drivers slow and twist their heads as they pass. She’s all proud in her pink harness and leash and doesn't deign to look their way. Attached are two pictures of the girl. As you can see, she’s losing her childhood white and beginning to get her adult colors.




Thank you so much,

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,

The kitten is just fine. In fact he is better than fine. He is doing great. He eats, drinks, plays, nuzzles, meows, sleeps, and Grows just like I would expect. How are you? How are your kittens?
We love our little guy and he loves us. His personality is royal, sweet, affectionate, playful, and soulful.
Thanks for doing such an excellent job, Louis.

 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.

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,

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!

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, 
Jennifer Lultschik- PA, USA / 5/18/09

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
