Hi, I'm Zest

About Me

My name is Zest, an Exotic Shorthair boy with a vibrant red spotted tabby with white coat, expressive copper eyes, and the irresistibly round features that make my breed so easy to adore. I'm happiest when I'm close to my people, quietly sharing whatever the day brings. Whether you're reading, working, or simply relaxing, I'll gladly settle nearby, keeping you company with my calm presence. I also have a playful streak and enjoy batting toys across the floor before returning for well-earned cuddles and gentle chin scratches. My affectionate personality makes every moment together feel special, and my soft purr is never far away when someone offers me a little attention. Hill's provides the balanced nutrition that keeps me healthy and full of life. If I'm welcomed as a cherished companion, I'll come fixed, while breeding rights are available for the right home.

One of the greatest joys of living with me is how naturally I fit into everyday family life. My calm personality helps me settle into new surroundings with ease, allowing me to quickly become a reassuring and loving presence. I'm proudly kid-friendly, enjoying gentle games, patient cuddles, and peaceful time with children who show me kindness and respect. I'm also wonderfully apartment-friendly, perfectly content in a cozy home where I can lounge on a favorite chair, watch the world through the window, or quietly accompany my family from one room to another. I don't need constant excitement to stay happy, being surrounded by love, comfort, and familiar faces is what makes my tail swish with contentment.

I was thoughtfully raised in Irina's CFA registered cattery, where more than 20 years of experience have been devoted to producing Exotic Shorthairs with outstanding health, loving temperaments, and exceptional breed quality. My first months have been spent in a peaceful indoor environment with daily human interaction, allowing me to grow into a confident, emotionally balanced, and people-oriented young gentleman. Special attention is given to the unique care needs of my breed, including guidance on eye care, grooming, and coat maintenance. For added confidence in my healthy background, both of my parents have been genetically tested for PKD. Thanks to this wonderful beginning, I'm ready to fill my forever home with quiet companionship, endless affection, and a lifetime of treasured memories.

Meet My Breeder

My breeder believes that raising exceptional kittens begins with exceptional care. Long before I was ready to meet the world, she dedicated herself to my health, happiness, and development, making sure I grew into the affectionate, confident companion I am today. Every decision she makes is guided by experience, compassion, and a genuine love for her cats. She takes the time to understand each kitten's unique personality, ensuring we're nurtured as individuals and given every opportunity to thrive. Because of her unwavering commitment, I'll arrive in my new home healthy, well-socialized, and ready to become a treasured member of your family.

Adopting our new kitten from Purebred Kitties was a wonderful experience. The process was smooth and clear, leaving no room for confusion. Alona's kindness and genuine care shone through as she promptly answered all my questions. Thanks to the whole team, our new furry family member is now home and already cherished beyond words!

Purebredkitties has been absolutely wonderful. They made everything so easy and stress-free. Adoption specialist Kim A was fantastic, always going the extra mile to help me. She even responded to my email at 3 am her time! 😊 This whole experience has been truly heartwarming and rewarding.

Our experience with Purebredkitties was wonderful! Communication was great, and we even got to FaceTime with our kitten before bringing her home. She was exactly as we expected and is already doing great with our family after just two days. One small note is that pedigree papers weren't included and cost extra, which was a bit pricey since she arrived spayed. Overall, even though it was expensive, it was worth it. The quality and size of our kitten are amazing!

The whole experience of adopting a pet with this fantastic team has been nothing short of wonderful. Now, I have the joy of being a devoted pet mom to a gorgeous kitten I named Princess. I'm already looking forward to adopting another fur baby with Maria's help in the future. I'm absolutely thrilled and can't thank you all enough!

Proud mom of four Sphynx kitties! I adopted all of my adorable feline friends from Maria at purebredkitties.com, and I couldn’t be happier. Each one is a treasure, and working with Maria has been an absolute delight!

The whole journey to bring our fluffy bundle of joy home was fantastic. Maria is incredibly kind and always ready to answer all our questions. I really appreciate how seriously they take the health of the cats. Our kitten arrived with a minor case of the sniffles, likely from the airport travel, but it was easily and quickly resolved. Plus, the video call we had to meet our little guy beforehand was a wonderful way to get a glimpse of his personality and feel confident in our decision. I'm definitely recommending Purebred Kitties to all my friends who are looking to get their own Maine Coon.
