It refers to the skull structure, not the coat. An extreme (also called peke-face) Persian has a nose set almost level with the eyes and a heavily shortened muzzle, compared to a doll-face Persian whose nose still projects forward. Breeders judge this by profile, not by colour or eye shade, so two kittens from the same litter can carry different face types.

Genuine extreme face kittens usually run from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 70,000, notably higher than a standard or semi-flat Persian, because the skull structure is harder to breed true and fewer kittens per litter qualify as true extreme type. Price also shifts with coat colour, eye clarity, and how confirmed the flat profile already is at 10-12 weeks.

Yes, this is the single biggest tradeoff of the extreme type. The shortened nasal passage means audible snoring, faster tiring during play, and a lower heat tolerance are common, even in a healthy kitten. We physically check airflow and listen for laboured breathing before any kitten leaves our care, and we won't place an extreme kitten with a family in a non-AC home during peak summer without a clear conversation first.

The compressed jaw can cause mild tooth misalignment, which makes scooping kibble off a flat surface harder than it looks. A shallow, wide bowl instead of a deep round one, and slightly smaller kibble size, prevents most of the frustration owners see in the first few weeks. We send every buyer home with feeding-setup guidance specific to the kitten's jaw shape.

The shallower eye sockets on an extreme skull sit the eyes slightly more forward, which increases daily tear overflow and raises the risk of minor corneal scratches from their own fur or rough play compared to a doll-face Persian. Daily eye-corner wiping with a damp cotton pad isn't optional here, it's routine maintenance from day one.

Ask for a strict side-profile photo or video, not a front-facing one. On a true extreme face, the top of the nose lines up almost flush with the lower eyelid when viewed from the side; on a semi-flat or doll-face kitten there's a visible bump or slope. We always show a live side-angle video call before confirming, precisely because photos from the front can make almost any kitten look flatter than it is.

The coat care itself is the same daily 10-15 minute brush, but extreme face cats need an added facial-fold wipe-down around the flattened nose and mouth crease, since food residue and moisture collect there and can cause skin irritation if left. A soft, unscented wipe after every meal keeps this from becoming a recurring problem.

If anything, extreme face Persians tend to be even more sedentary and lap-bound than a standard Persian, largely because their reduced breathing capacity makes them tire out from activity faster. They settle into a slow, quiet household rhythm quickly and rarely show the boisterous, jumpy energy of an active breed, which suits apartment living well.

We recommend 12 weeks rather than the usual 10, since the extreme skull profile is still settling at 10 weeks and can look misleadingly different by 12. Waiting those extra two weeks also gives more time to confirm normal breathing and eating before the kitten changes homes.

Plan for roughly Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 7,000 a month, a step above a standard Persian, since it covers the usual grooming and food costs plus wider feeding bowls, extra eye and facial-fold wipes, and keeping the room air-conditioned in Delhi's peak summer months for breathing comfort.

No. A small advance holds the kitten for you, and the remaining balance is paid as cash on delivery once the kitten is physically in your hands. A side-profile video call is always available beforehand so there are no surprises about how extreme the face type actually is.

Yes, we cover Delhi Dwarka, Rohini, Pitampura, South Extension, Vasant Kunj, along with Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad, with the kitten hand-carried by our own team, never sent through cargo or courier, usually within 3 to 4 hours of a confirmed booking.
