Persian Cats

[Trailpal]

Hmm, talking about the dog rescues got me to thinking about these two Persian cats we need to re-home.

A friend of ours was a respected breeder, went to shows, took great care of her cats, good placements, etc. Somewhere along the line, she became a "collector" and started accumulating more cats than reasonable (something over 30 cats/kittens in her city home.) There was some kind of "intervention" and it involved the law. She gave away all her cats and sent two to us (flew them from California to Denver).

We are just not equipped to deal with "high maintenance" cats. (I have horses for that!) We've had them over a year, and although they are fed good food daily, fresh water, daily litterbox cleaning, we can't keep up with brushing, eye care, etc. They live in our music studio, a large building where my husband practices. One cat is very friendly, the other is a bit more shy. When he's over there, he's nice to them, but he's busy. They just need more attention than we have available.

My husband is about at his wits' end. They shed (well of course, we can't keep them brushed). They make hair balls everywhere (of course, see above). I feel badly for them as they really need to be loved by somebody, not just "put up with". So if anybody is interested (or knows somebody interested) in either or both of these girls, let me know and we should be able to work something out. I have some photos I'll post from home. They tolerate each other, not fighting but not buddies either, so separating them should work fine.

Thanks

Oh gosh, Trailpal, I'll bet someone here might like them! I'n not much of a cat person. We have two cats and they live in the house with us and the dogs, but I just sort of tolerate them being here. I'm not unkind to cats and will give them attention, but I just don't have the affinity for them that I have for dogs.

Persians are so pretty. We had a stray one once. We named her Gizmo. One day she just started having seizures and died. It was very strange. The vet thinks she might have gotten into some yard chemicals. Since we don't use any on our yard, that leaves our "wonderul" neighbor, gaaaag, who is a lawn Nazi and uses every chemical known to man on his place, and usually twice as much as recommended.

that was running loose at her condo complex. She had noticed it about a month ago and finally borrowed a trap from the humane society to trap it. He was absolutely terrified until he realized they weren't going to hurt him. She said he is obviously purebred and DE-clawed. Someone dumped the poor thing. I will never understand why anyone thinks it is more humane to dump an animal they no longer want that was used to have food every day rather than take it to the shelter where it might be put down if adopted. Being PTS is a lot better than starving to death.

We'd be happy to either take the kitties here or help you find a home for them from your location. We work with a group of volunteer drivers who transport animals from one end of the country to another so getting them anywhere shouldn't be a problem.
We require a preadoption form (with references which we do check), a home visit, and an indepth contract before we place any animal into another home to ensure that they are a good match for that particular home.
