Below are some referrals to people whom we have
placed our 'precious purrbabies' with. 
We want to THANK each and every one of you for giving our kittens 'forever homes'.  The love you've shown them means the world to us, and we know they are all cherished!
Referral from Amanda

"When I first arrived it wasn't the front door I went into, I was directed straight through the garage like I was a long time friend or family member.  Right
away I felt very comfortable.  Lisa and her family made me feel right at home.  The atmosphere was lovely.  When I was first introduced to Thereon, he was everything I imagined and more.  Right away I fell in love.  Lisa went over everything with me that is included in the nice package that comes with every kitten.  She didn't rush me out the door, and she told me to call anytime of day and she means anytime.  I've emailed her questions about Thereon, and she always writes back with such concern and gives great advice.  On the way home, mind you a 4-hour drive, Thereon laid in my lap the whole time.  He
was very well behaved and is as lovable as ever!!  If I was to ever buy
another Persian, it would be well worth the trip to drive from Cincinnati
to Akron because I know I'll be receiving the best kitten out there
from such a loveable family."

Referral from Patty & Jami

"
The Hendershots have made a dream come true.  My mom has been
looking for a Persian for awhile now.  Out of the blue, she wanted to look
on the internet at different catteries in search for that special kitty.  Then,
we found her, my mom's eyes lit up and she said that's the one!  We contacted Lisa immediately. Her name was Sadie, and my mom knew she
had to have her. The night we went up to pick Sadie up, we were invited in their home like old friends.  Lisa, Brian and her two sons were there to greet us.  They introduced us to all of her lovely Persians.  Lisa explained to us everything we needed to know about the breed and did not hurry us in any way.  We all felt so comfortable in their home.  Before leaving their home, Lisa explained one last time in full detail and said," if there is ever a problem
call me at any time day or night, and I will help you with any questions that you might have."  Lisa and Brian are very proud of all their Persians and want only the best for them.  If we ever purchase another kitten or adult,
we will contact them first.  It's really nice to know people like them. 
Thank you Lisa, Brian and family for making my mom's dream come true!!"  Sincerely,
~Jami Maurer and Patty Brammer

Referral from Sherry

"I have always adopted my cats from the Animal Protective League, but a friend with three Persians helped me catch the 'Purr-Baby Bug'.   The second
I walked into Lisa's home, I knew I'd be taking one of Tazia's kittens home -
I did NOT expect to bring home TWO.  Merlin and Pellinore (also known as Pelli-Belly) are so sweet and have adjusted so well, I can hardly believe it. 
Lisa must have sprinkled magic dust on them because even the older cat,
Uncle Odo, fell under their spell immediately.  He grooms them, sleeps
with them and tolerates constant tail tugging from the little ones. 
Here, I thought for sure I'd have nothing but cat fights for months. 
The Hendershot home is clean and warm and full of love, and all of the animals are so obviously well-cared for that I never had a moment's doubt about purchasing from Lisa and Brian.  They were helpful with everything from how to introduce the two new kittens to the rest of the household
(two dogs and an older cat) to how to groom them.  I don't know why I
waited so long to have Purr-Babies.  Having been in a horrible accident on
July 31st, I was reluctant to bring them home, but they have been the best therapy a person could ask for.  One day, I'm going to get a Himmie and
it will absolutely be from Lisa and Brian Hendershot's cattery!"

Referral from Eric & Denise

  "We want to thank Lisa for giving us such a wonderful kitten.
She is absolutely gorgeous and loving and loves people.  She's not afraid
of anybody. We love the fact that she is not afraid and comes up to us and
our friends and family.  She adjusted right off the bat at our home, and
we even took her on a road trip to my parents in West Virginia.
She loved being at my parent's house.  The best cat we have!!!
I would recommend  Paw and Purrs Cattery to everyone I come in contact with, as this is the best Cattery Eric and I have dealt with.  They are very concerned about their cats and especially where their cats are placed
and how important cats are to the people they place them with.
We are extremely happy with Paws and Purrs Cattery, and if we ever want
another kitten, we will definitely get our next kitten through this Cattery.
We are very happy with the results and are grateful for the Hendershots
and how they treat their cats and other animals.  We highly recommended
this Cattery to everyone as we are grateful for our little Butterfinger, who means the world to us and cannot thank Paws and Purrs Cattery enough
for giving us such added joy in our lives!
Thank you with all our hearts
- to the Hendershot family -
We love Butterfinger so much!!!"

Referral from Josh & Kristen

"Josh and I are newly married, and since I grew up with cats, I naturally wanted an addition to our family right away!  My first experience with a
purebred cat was 2 years ago, when my parents bought a ragdoll.  He has been a wonderful pet, and has been great with my little brothers.  I wanted
a cat that would be people-friendly and playful, but would cuddle in my lap.  My mom found Paws and Purrs Cattery browsing on the internet, and
Lisa's prices were the most reasonable of any cattery in our area. 
(By "in our area," I mean within a 3-4 hour driving distance!)
Percy has been the perfect cat!  He is such a sweetheart!  He follows me everywhere around the house - he even sits on my feet while I wash dishes!  He adapted very well to my family.  You can tell that Percy was used to being around children and other animals, he is even great with my little brothers when they come to visit.  When we went to pick up Percy, Lisa and her
family welcomed us into her house as if we had been long-time friends. 
I recommend Paws and Purrs Cattery to anyone looking for a loving pet,
and I will definitely be going back to her for another "purrbaby"
sometime down the road!"

Referral from Dee Dee

"This is just a quick letter telling everyone interested in obtaining a kitten from Paws and Purrs Cattery that my family and I had a fabulous
experience with Lisa Hendershot.  What a wonderful person Lisa is -- she is a warm and loving person and this is the most important trait, I feel, when looking for a breeder.  Over the years, I have found that the best kittens are ones that are truly loved when they are babies.  We have a well-adjusted, warm and loving kitten.  We are thrilled to have purchased Lucy
(formerly known as Lilly) from Lisa.  And we'll purchase another one
from Lisa when we need another one!"

Referral from Sue

"My daughter and I had been surfing the web for almost 9 months in search of the purrfect kittens to add to our family.  We came across Lisa's
site about 5 months ago and fell in love with all her cats! 
Her cats are breathtaking and her site is beautiful. 
What a great combination!
Over the last 5 months, Lisa has become our friend. She loves all her cats/kittens and truly takes a personal interest in each and every one of them. She has called us several times to say hello and personally answer
all of our questions and concerns.  She has helped us in all aspects,
including suggestions and information and most importantly,
allowing us to take "Mo" and "Roxy" home to become
our very first kitties from her cattery.
When we finally met, hugs were the first natural thing to do. 
Lisa and her family are wonderful!  Her husband and boys are great, and
her home is warm and inviting. Her cats are part of her household and the whole family takes part in their care.  Lisa went over all the paperwork and introduced us to her cats.  We left with a smile on our face knowing we had purchased something extra special. Our kittens are well-socialized, friendly, playful and definitely "purrbabies"!  To purchase a kitten from Lisa,
is to know you have received more than "just a cat"...
You have received a lifetime of purr-love!"
~Sue

Referral for Cameo

Thank you so much for allowing us to bring Cameo home. 
Her coloring is amazing!  She has exquisite fur, which is long and soft.
When the sunshine breaks over her face, it's hard to believe how long her whiskers are!  She has a wonderful personality and is definitely a purrbaby! 
Cameo is the purrfect addition to our family.
Lisa is not only a friend, but breeds amazingly beautiful kittens.
Her house is warm and inviting, and her cats are part of her family. 
Her kittens are not only beautiful, they are healthy and well-socialized.
To purchase a kitten from Lisa, is to be assured that you have a
quality 'forever companion'.

Referral from Pat

"I had recently had to have my Tortie Point Himalayan of 15 years put
to sleep.  I was heartbroken and determined not to have another
because the loss was so devastating.
After a while, I searched the Internet just looking at what was available
in Doll-Faced Himalayan.  I found Lisa and Brian Hendershot's Cattery,
Paws and Purrs.  I was impressed by their web site and thought their
adult cats and placed babies were absolutely beautiful.  I read all the information posted on their website and filled out the Kitten Application,
then waited.  Lisa emailed acknowledgment and approval promptly.
At first, Lisa didn't think she would have a Seal Point Female Himalayan kitten available out of the next litters due. You can imagine my surprise
and delight when she told me that she might just have a kitten available
after all, but that I had to wait for one other person that was ahead of me
who had first choice on a female kitten.
  Our friendship soon began.  Lisa kept in constant contact with me, sending
me updates and my own special pictures of my new sweet purrbaby...
FANCY is her name.
Lisa and her entire family are responsible for the character and personality
of my new purrbaby.  I have a kitten that is purrfect in all ways.
She is not timid or skittish.  She is not afraid of the vacuum or the
canine, "Boots",  she shares her home with. 
Fancy is a healthy, loving, gentle, intelligent bundle...
who made herself right at home the very first day she came home with us!.
I remember the day I picked her up.  I was welcomed into the Hendershot home like a long-time friend.  The home was clean, warm and friendly.
The atmosphere was calm.  All the animals were a part of the household.
Not stuck in a cage in a garage.  Each and every purrbaby is special and
is treated with love.  Matthew and Brandon do a wonderful job socializing each kitten.  I felt so bad for Matthew, because he had to give up his
favorite little seal point kitten.
I will be bringing home my second purrbaby, Charo, in August to be
Fancy's lifelong friend.
I can't say enough times how honored I am to have chosen my forever purrbaby from the Hendershots and the loving and caring home of
PAWS AND PURRS CATTERY."

Referral from Sandy

"I have had experience breeding and showing collies, as well as owning and breeding Himalayans in the past. With a lot of experience doing this, I have
met and known many breeders of all types. As a result, I can honestly tell anyone interested in getting a 'purrbaby' from Lisa, that she is one of the best! Her cats and kittens are very lovingly cared for. Her knowledge of the breed
and their genetics is solid. She is totally committed to improving the breed
and producing loving, healthy and adorable Himalayans and Persians.
They are raised in a loving home, well-socialized with children, dogs, and
other cats. She has been a tireless fountain of information, help and guidance, as well as, going all out to work with me for my “Kisses”.  She never finds it
an inconvenience to answer all my questions, move mountains to connect with me, and spent the extra time to get my "Kisses" ready for me! I feel she is
a great contributor for the Himalayan/Persian breed.
I feel very blessed to have one of her kittens, and I am going to get another
one as well.  So if you’re interested in getting a kitten from Lisa,
I don’t think you could do better anywhere else."
