Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lambchop. 1-3 yo Cream Shell Cameo Persian.
Lambchop came to us from a neglect situation. Take a look at his
photos and watch his progress. Sadly, he is typical of many of the
Persian cats that come to Rescue. There is nothing wrong with his
health, he just had an owner who didn't care about him. His first
picture is his first night in Rescue. He was matted solid and
couldn't even move his head. A good eye wash, and we could see what
pretty eyes he has. We weren't sure if he was a dirty white cat, or a
Cream Shell Cameo until we saw his pretty green eyes, but there they
were. We literally had to peel his mats off of him. It took about an
hour and he was a darling patient little boy the whole time. It had
to have hurt to have his skin pulled by those mats all this time, and
it was certainly tender while we took them off. We even took a
picture of just ONE of his "mats of shame".
Now, Lambchop looks like a little Cocker Spaniel. He is too cute for
words. His tail was lost due to an injury earlier in his life, but it
just seems to add to his charm. As you can see, he still has a long
way to go. We are hoping to find him a wonderful foster home to wash
his face, and keep his coat cared for while it grows back in.
Lambchop is one sweet little boy. The first night he got here, he was
so scared that he jumped if you even so much as reached for him. Now,
he starts to purr and make biscuits as soon as he hears our voices.
A breeder in Northern California suffered a massive stroke in
September 2006. The cats were taken in by a "caretaker" who had no
knowledge of how to care for this high maintenance breed of cat. So,
from September 2006 to January 2007, they wandered around outside
with no care or grooming. Thankfully, the breeder and caretaker
realized it was time to release the cats and find new homes for them.
All 10 have come to Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue where they are awaiting
their new forever homes. All have been altered, vaccinated, and
tested negative for feline aids and feline leukemia. Most have been
shaved, or groomed, but there are still a few needing to be fully
stripped of their mats. We are looking for foster homes who can
either take on one these cats, or take in one of our other Persians
so that we can concentrate on the grooming and care of the new cats.
