About the Cattery: 

At Everpaw, I’m head over heels about Exotic Shorthairs and Persians where I am deeply committed to breeding healthy, beautiful cats with exceptional temperaments and strong structure—cats who thrive both as cherished companions and in the show ring at top cat shows across the country.

I keep my program intentionally small and thoughtful, limiting each queen to around one litter per year so that every kitten born here receives abundant individual love, socialization, and care. All kittens are raised indoors in our spacious, sunny, temperature-controlled home with a private nursery—never outdoors—so they grow up confident, well-adjusted, and spoiled in the best way.

Health is always my top priority. I go above and beyond with extensive health testing, including HCM heart scans performed by board-certified veterinary cardiologists, ensuring only the healthiest cats are part of my breeding program. At Everpaw, quality and care come first—because happy, healthy cats make the very best companions and show cats.

Behind Everpaw is our family: me (Liz), my husband Brian, and our three amazing kids. Originally California natives, we’ve happily called Minneapolis home since 2017 ...yes, we traded palm trees for snow boots!! Our family has over 45 years of experience loving and caring for animals across many species. While cats are our greatest passion, we’ve also bred horses, dogs, birds, and even fish—so whether it’s fur, feathers, or fins, nurturing animals has always been part of who we are.

I love hitting the road to show my cats at CFA, TICA, and ACFA-approved cat shows throughout the year. It’s not just about competition—it’s about sharing these beautiful Exotic Shorthairs and Persians with the world and letting them shine in the ring. If you spot me at a show, don’t be shy—please say hello and meet my stunning cats in person!

Every one of my sires and queens is DNA and health tested—always clear of PKD, FIV, and FELV—and comes from disease-free lines. On top of that, my Persians and imported cats get extra care with HCM heart scans by a licensed Veterinary Cardiologist. I’m committed to the GOLD STANDARD, breeding only healthy, happy, and gorgeous kittens that truly elevate the Exotic breed.
