Sometimes the physical characteristics that are elements of a breed are also found in randombred cats. Since most animals in rescue do not come with their registration papers and pedigrees, many Breed Rescuers often are called upon to make a close determination. Purebred rescue organizations are usually composed of people who are expert in identifying the various breeds of cat. These cat may come from Animal Shelters, Humane Societies and sometimes from individuals that have no other resort than to relinquish their pet. Persian Rescues take these cats and have them vet checked for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Infection, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, wormed and groomed.
Rescues provide temporary homes for such cats.
In those cases where the rescued cat has previously acquired any problematic attitude or behavior, Rescues work with the animal to correct these problems before placement. If you are interested in helping foster or providing a permanent home for a Persian rescue, or in otherways supporting or participating in Persian rescue efforts, please join the list for Persian rescue communication , the Persian Rescue Email List . Rescued cats are NOT used for breeding nor are they available for breeding. Also, this list is not a vehicle to place retired breeding cats - retiring cats who were previously used for breeding are not placed by their owners through this email list. It is through organized cat fancy contacts that these breeders can provide the expertise and help most specific to the cats in need.
