Bitsy's Info...
| Breed: | Persian | Color: | Tortoiseshell | Age: | Adult |
| Sex: | Female | Hair: | Long |
Bitsy is a beautiful torbie & white Persian female that we rescued along with six other Persians and Exotics from a high kill shelter. Bitsy was traumatized by her shelter experience and it took her a few months to regain her trust in people. Bitsy is now growing more confident by the day. She is a little shy of new people at first, but, earn her trust, and she will reward you with love and purrs. She's an avid games player - skillfully battling the sparkle wand, sliding across the floor chasing balls, and playing with the residents kitties in her foster home. Her favorite lounging spot is in front of the lit fireplace. She will happily lay there for hours. She enjoys being petted, but, as yet, does not like to be picked up. This may change with time. Bitsy is a wonderful, quirky, little girl looking for a family to love her and provide her a great life. She would be happy either as an only cat, or with other cats. She loves to eat, both wet and dry food, and has excellent litter box habits.
Rescue Group Info...
Helping Persian Cats rescues Persians, Himalayans, Exotic Short Hairs and other cats, and places them in responsible and loving homes with people who care! Our network of volunteers rescues primarily purebred cats, from local animal shelters in the southern California area, and from breeders who are no longer able to care for their cats, and from private owners in special circumstances. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Contributions to Helping Persian Cats are deductible under section 170 of the IRS Code. We rely entirely on donations from the public!
Our volunteers and foster homes work hard every day to help Persians and other cats who are in need. All of our foster cats live in cage-free foster homes where we can best assess their personalities and health prior to adoption.
We believe that the happiest and healthiest life for a cat is as a spayed or neutered pet. We ensure that all of our adoptable cats are spayed and neutered BEFORE placing them in new homes. We do not rely on "promises" to get the operation performed in the future.
In addition to spay/neuter, all of our adoptable cats have been seen at least once by a private veterinarian, are tested for feline leukemia and aids, are vaccinated for FVRCP, are dewormed and flea-free, and have received other medical care as needed.
We show our adoptable cats every other Saturday at Petco in Santa Monica from 11:30 to 3:30pm. The address is 2910 Wilshire Blvd. To find out the date of our next adoption event, please email us at helpingpersians@hotmail.com
If possible, we recommend that you submit your application prior to attending our adoption events.
The best way to contact us is by email.
If you find a cat that you are interested in adopting, please email for an application form at helpingpersians@hotmail. We will be happy to answer any questions.
We require all adopters to be approved for adoption, through completion of our application. We may sometimes require a home visit by one of our volunteers. We do not ship our cats - all adopters must meet the cat they wish to adopt.
An adoption fee is required.
We are located in the Los Angeles area, but serve southern California, the Inland Empire and the central coast areas.
