Dearheart & Cherie-Finesse Traditional Chinchilla Silver & Golden Persian Gene Pool Preservation Group

We are a group of individuals who have answered the assignment given to us by Alida Delport of Cherie-Finesse Cattery South Africa before she passed in 2017. We made a promise to her & are happy to say we are doing what she taught us to do- to widen the gene pool.

We have grown so much that we now need 3 websites. In doing so we will end up getting some cat/kitten names wrong. It will take a little time to get duplicates changed as well. Thank you for your patience while we are undergoing this change.

The silvers I started with are Violet & Pearl. I also have a shaded smoke named Charli who is mom to Nikki, Lucy & Myri & now Amber, Jade, Opal & Gabriel.

I purchased my goldens Emile & Emmalina from South Africa because I love goldens & as we looked at the pedigrees we realized that not only would Alida want us to continue with the silvers but the goldens as well. In Jeanne Ramsdale's book "Persian Cats & other Longhairs" there are pictures of our ancestors (way up the tree) . Not only that, but they were some of the first Chinchilla Cameos to go to South Africa. Jeanne being the authority on Persians of all colors at the time showed all the different combinations to breed to get a cameo.

Sheryl's cat Leilani had a cameo (that unfortunately was stillborn) but this showed that we do have cameos in our line. Even though my Charli isn't a Dearheart her parents are a silver & a golden. Because she had a silver, a blue golden, a shaded golden & a cream in the same litter & with the Dearheart genetics at play we have high hopes of a cameo showing up.
