Our Featured Pet...
Skye is a 12 month old flame point himalayan kitten. Skye came in to rescue after he was dumped at a local animal control (a KILL shelter!). He had been bought as a baby kitten from a breeder - and the idiot who bought him had no clue what to do with a persian! The owner put poor Skye in a room, to live by himself. When we rescued Skye, he was emaciated, matted, infested with fleas, and had no clue what attention/affection were. Skye has been with us for several months and, in that time, he has become a wonderfully sweet baby.
In addition to the neglect that he suffered, Skye also came to us with an eye injury. We have been treating the eye, hoping to save it - but the eye is not healing. So the only option for a good quality of life for Skye is to have the eye removed. That means we need to do some fundraising (begging!!) to get the funds to help Skye.
Donations can be made directly to us via Paypal (donation button below - just scroll down!). Donations can also be made directly to the vet clinic that has been (and will continue) treating Skye - Schertz Animal Hospital. You can call the Schertz Animal Hospital at (210) 659-0345 to make a donation via credit/debit card. Please make sure to tell them that the donation goes to the South Texas Persian Rescue account. Please contact us if you have any questions about making a donation for Skye!
After Skye has his surgery and has recovered, he will be looking for a forever home!

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.
Our adoption donation for persian, himalayan, ragdoll and Maine Coon breeds are as follows: 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, depending on the rarity of the breed (for example exotic shorthair adults are $200, rex breeds are $250 and up). Declawed cats add $25 to adoption donation. 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!!
