Our Featured Pet...
Picasso is a five to six year old cream & white bi-color persian. He is neutered, FIV/FELV negative, and has been wormed, vaccinated, and flea treated. Picasso was found when he wandered into a Good Samaritan's yard (that had two dobermans in it!). When an owner could not be found, Picasso was released to rescue. Picasso gets his name because of his crooked little nose - which (in my opinion!) makes him so much cuter!! This boy is sweet as pie! He loves attention and is extremely laidback - he gets along with everyone (cats, dogs, people - everyone!). He loves belly rubs and taking naps in laps. He's just about the perfect cat! Picasso does have food and flea allergies - so he must be fed a premium food (like Innova Evo) and never, ever allowed outside. Adoption donation - $150.Sorry, we do not ship our cats or provide any transportation. All potential adopters should reside in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Louisiana. We will not adopt outside of those states.
News
We have REDUCED THE ADOPTION DONATION ON SELECT KITTENS to $100!!! It's kitten season right now, and kittens are almost raining from the sky! lol! We have put a strict limit on the number of kittens in our foster program right now, because of the unfortunately large number of adult persians/himalayans that are also needing rescue at this time. But if we are able to find homes for the kittens we currently have, that will open up space for MORE kittens (of which there are numerous that need to be saved).
So please consider adopting a kitten - or two! With one adoption you will literally be saving TWO lives!!!
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 will not ship cats out of the state of Texas. 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.
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!!
Come Visit Us!
Our cats are in foster homes - to see any of these fur babies, please email us to start the application process. If you are approved to adopt, an appointment will be set up for you to meet the cat(s) you're interested in.
