"I’m writing this as the highest recommendation possible for Olga and My Exotic Furs. 
We got our short haired Persian over a week ago. I can’t say enough about what an amazing cat he is...he’s adjusted amazingly well and he has the best personality of any animal I’ve ever met! We have 3 boys and a 6 year old cat. Fuji has blended right in and he’s incredibly social and loving. He’s brought so much joy in just a week. 
We have never gotten a cat from a breeder. We’ve always adopted stray cats. I wasn’t totally sure what to look for in a breeder, but when I came across Olga’s website, I liked that it’s a small operation and the cats are kept in home. 
I had no idea how wonderful Olga would be. I emailed her endlessly (sorry Olga) in the weeks prior to us picking up Fuji and in the days we had him home, I also emailed with lots of questions. She responded to everything and even called me to check on Fuji. It is beyond clear that Olga and her husband truly love their animals and care that they are well taken care of. 
I can’t recommend My Exotic Furs enough. If (or when ��) we get another exotic short haired cat,  I will only go through Olga. We feel very thankful for Fuji and extremely grateful to have found such caring breeders." 

 "I and my husband Chris cant thank enough the breeder Olga Giro who is not only passionate about exotic Persians but also a very caring and loving "mom" to all her beautiful cats. We did our research when we decided to get a new member of the family and myexoticfurs.com melted our hearts. After checking Olga's website, we didn't have any desire to look for the other breeder in spite of the fact that the waiting list was quiet long. Waiting was worth it! When we visited Olga the first time, we were impressed how she has been taking care of her 10 cats that time. Her cats are well-kept, happy, playful and loving. As a breeder, Olga is knowledgeable and helpful, i can call and ask her any questions any time. Besides, we haven't had any health issues with our kitten; she started to use a litter box from the first day she entered our place which was the biggest concern since i have had some bad experience. We cant even express how much happiness and joy this little creature has brought to our family. You can tell that a happy kitten is a direct merit of the breeder and Olga is definitely an expert in what she is doing. Thank you so much dear Olga!"
 

 "I want to thank you for the wonderful, affectionate kitty I purchased from you. Tuggles!!!! She is going to be 5 months old soon. She is so full of energy. I enjoy just watching her run around and play. I still enjoy just going to your website and looking at all your cats and kittens. Are any of them the one I got from you. They sure look like it. I can tell you raise very healthy and loving kittens. She likes to cuddle with me and sleeps with me at night. She sure is a lot of company.I am thinking of getting another kitten in a year or two and I know I would like to get another one from you if I do. I just love their personality." 

 "I wanted to write something about Olga Giro, the owner of My Exotic Furs.

As I am writing these lines Solo is sitting on my lap, as he often does when I am at my computer, his soft velvety fur touching my arm occasionally. Kallie is not far away, trying to fit himself into a small box on the floor. These are our two furry ‘children’—Exotic Shorthairs. We are so fortunate to have these lovable, beautiful, and happy guys for over two years now. Yet we never cease to be amazed about them—their friendly nature, funny antics, how they cozy up to us at nap time.

Even though I am writing about our cats, it is about Olga. She is the breeder of these cats.

We have always had cats, and dogs too at times, so we have known breeders . Yet we have never met anyone so devoted to her cats and kittens as Olga. She has put her heart and soul, and so much hard work, into caring for these cats. Nights spent with expectant moms, then with new babies, then watching over all the kittens. She has made them as loving and social as they are by her own love and care, and constant presence. Perhaps the cats’ happy and playful nature is also partially due to ample room they have to run around and play. There is no more ideal place for them.

Dear Olga, thank you so very much for our furry ‘kids’, and for what you have done for all of them." 

 “What sets Olga apart from other breeders is how deeply she cares and how well she cares for each of her cats (Momma's and Poppa's), and each and every kitten that is born. She's extremely knowledgable and capable; and she does it all with a loving touch and heart. If you get the pleasure of meeting Olga, you'll quickly realize how extraordinary she is. Breeding exotics is not simply a business for her; she invests all of herself with her kitties-- this is her family. She has stayed up days at a time when necessary, as well as driven hours to consult with an expert, just as she would do for husband and daughter. 

Olga is selective about whom she allows to adopt one of her kittens. This may sound snobby, but truly it is not. She cares about her kittens as if she were their Mother and wants to make sure each one will be loved and well taken care of. Invest some time and let Olga get to know you, and get to know her . . . you will be glad you did. Watson joined my family in July, 2011. He is such a loving, friendly and playful snuggle-buddy! Some kitties run under a couch or bed when the doorbell rings; not Watson, he comes right up to visitors and rolls on his back. If you ignore him, he will meow to get your attention. He is a joy to be around and a wonderful companion.

Most kittens are cute, but it takes dedication and a passion for breeding to consistently raise such healthy, loving, affectionate, adorable, playful kittens. If this is what you are looking for, you have found it. Now make the time to get to know Olga and her family. I am so glad I did!”

 "When my fiancé and I decided to get a kitten, we spent a lot of time researching different breeds.  I grew up with Persians and love their sweet personalities, but didn't think that we would be able to handle the grooming, so we made the decision to get an Exotic Shorthair.  We searched the internet, magazines, classifieds, etc. and emailed several breeders before we finally found Olga.  She took the time to speak with us regarding her available kittens, their personalities, health, and how to care for them.  She answered every question we could think of, and was kind enough to take many pictures of them for us to see.  Even though Olga was located over three hours away, we decided that her home was the place from which we wanted our kittens to come.  We decided to purchase both of the kittens that Olga had available at that time - two adorable cream and white brothers (the only two born in that litter).  When Olga found out that we wanted to bring home both of the kittens, I was touched by her expression of how truly happy she was that the boys would have a new home together for Christmas.  So one Saturday afternoon in December, Olga and Peter welcomed us into their beautiful home in the Poconos to pick up our new babies.  Before we left, Olga showed us the kittens' parents, as well as how to clean their eyes and trim their claws.  She also sent us home with food, litter, and even toys, wanting to make sure that the boys had everything that they would need in their new home.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Olga to anyone that is looking to purchase a Persian or Exotic Shorthair!  Not only does she have beautiful, healthy cats, but it is evident that Olga genuinely cares about these animals like her own children.  We have been so pleased that Olga has kept in touch with us, and continues to show a love for our kittens.  We couldn't be happier with our two boys!  They have the sweetest, most loving and playful personalities, and they have made our house a home.  When we took them to the vet a few months ago to be neutered, the staff all commented on how healthy and adorable our kittens are.  They are a testament to all of the hard work, love, and care that Olga puts into them.

Olga, thank you so much for all that you do!
