Does she realise Persians shed a lot more than other breeds?
I don't mean to put you off but Persians are not the smartest things on Earth. My sister has a Persian who lived with me for a few months and oh my. What a dumb thing she was compared to my stray cats.
Anyway, I'm sure your wife is basing her decision on looks, which I totally understand. But there are tons of nice looking kittens. Have a look at http://www.freewebs.com/qatarpets/adoptakittenorcat.htm
and http://www.freewebs.com/qatarpets/externaladoptions.htm
In fact, I just noticed they have a persian there (under external adoptions).
Good luck. Just remember: a pet is a commitment for life. Please do not get one if you don't think you'll be able to care for it for the next 10-15 years :)
