My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Onyx. 1-2 yo Black Persian.
Onyx is darling! What a cute face, big round eyes, and he looks like
he's got elf tufts along side his ears. It's very unique. He looks a
bit like a drowned rat right now because he had to be completely
shaved. He was quite frightened when he got to Rescue, but he's sure
figuring out how wonderful life can be with people who care about
him. He is now responding well to voices and loves having his chin
rubbed. He was so matted, it's probably been quite awhile since he
could even feel his chin!
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 12 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.
