Our Featured Pet...
Loden is a two to three year old black & white bi-color persian. He is neutered, microchipped, FIV/FELV negative ad has been wormed, vaccinated and flea treated. Loden (along with ten other persians) was rescued from a terrible, terrible, terrible breeding situation. Loden was being kept in a kennel that had approximately six inches of fecal matter in it - he was basically living inside an outhouse!!! He was extremely matted - and caked with feces/urine. Due to being abused and neglected in this manner, Loden is a little shy (understandably!) of people at first. But once he realizes you're not going to hurt him, he loves attention! Loden is also extremely playful - he loves to run around the house and stretch his legs! Loden needs to go to a home that will be patient with him and understand his background - but know that he is a very sweet boy that really likes attention! He gets along great with other cats. Adoption donation - $150. Sorry, we do not ship our cats or provide any transportation. All potential adopters should reside in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, or Louisiana. We will not adopt outside of those states.
News
We are being bombarded with persians needing rescue all over the STATE! We are a small, foster home based organization - this means that our space is limited. Which means that in order for us to take in more cats in needs of rescue (many of these cats coming from KILL SHELTERS), we need ADOPTIONS!! Please know that by adopting from rescue, you are truely saving two lives!!
We are currently running a SPECIAL REDUCTION on several of our cats and kittens. Everyone except Yvaine has been adopted. Now this precious girl needs a home!! Yvaine came into our rescue, along with her persian momma (Stardust), when she was just two weeks old! Now she is going on nine months of age - and she really, really needs her OWN forever home! Even though she is in a foster home and being spoiled absolutely rotten, this baby needs people that are HERS! We have reduced Yvaine's adoption donation to $50! For a fully vetted, wonderfully socialized kitten!!
Who We Are
We are a rescue specializing in rescuing persians, himalayans, exotic shorthairs, and ragdolls. Most of our rescued cats are pulled from shelters. Some are given up by their owners due to family situations, financial situations, or a behavioral problem the cat is having. All cats are treated for any existing medical condition(s); they are spayed/neutered, FIV/FELV tested, and given all necessary immunizations before adoption; and any behavioral problem(s) the cat may have is addressed and resolved. All of our foster kitties are housed in actual homes with foster parents - so they get used to being in a home environment.
Adopting a friend
We try and match up cats with the best possible living environment for everyone involved. Some cats need to be in homes with no children, no dogs, no other cats - and some cats LOVE children, dogs, and/or other cats! We want to make sure that everyone in the family is happy!
Adoption requires that an application be completed. Two personal references and a vet reference are required (three personal references if you don't have a vet) - these will be checked! We also require that a contract be signed - this states, among other things, that if you are unhappy with your cat that you will return him/her to us, that you will provide needed veterinary care, that you will provide adqueate food, ect. Once you contact us, the application and the contract will be emailed to you. Once we get the application back and the references check out, and the applicant passes an interview, the adopter is approved!!
We do not ship or provide and transportation. We only adopt to residents of the state of Texas and the immediate surrounding states.
The adoption donation for persian, himalayan, exotic shorthair, ragdoll and Maine Coon breeds are as follows: an adult cat is $150, a kitten is $175 to $275 - depending on age, gender, and breed of kitten. Other breeds may have differing adoption donation amounts. WE ONLY ACCEPT ADOPTION DONATIONS BY CREDIT CARD (VIA PAYPAL) OR CASH - WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS!
If you want us to hold a cat for you, we require a that a non-refundable deposit be made (refundable only if for some reason the cat becomes unadoptable). The deposit is half of the adoption donation. The deposit will apply towards the adoption donation.
We often have more cats than are posted here on Petfinder!! We always have cats that are recovering from illness, injury, ect. We don't post these cats until they are ready for adoption. But we can approve an adoption before the cat is adoptable and "hold" the cat until they are ready to go home! So if you don't see the type of cat listed that you are interested in - please contact us, we still may have what you are looking for!
Except for the persian, himalayan, and exotic shorthair cats listed on this site, South Texas Persian Rescue cannot guarantee the parentage or breed of cats on this site (unless otherwise noted that the cat is "purebreed").
Donations Needed
We always need the following items: kitty litter, Felidae food (dry and canned), Innova Evo food (dry and canned), topical flea treat (Advantage, Revolution, Capstar), kitty treats, newspaper (we have a cat who is paper trained! lol!), toys, and anything else you would like to donate!
We do have a paypal account - so monetary payments/donations can be made by credit card or through your bank account. Donations are always welcome!!
