Story
Phoebe (in Los Angeles, CA) is the most loveable 4.5 yr old purebred white Persian with blue eyes. While we have loved each of our three Persians ( Penny 11, Sophie 17) , our hearts melt everytime Phoebe looks at us and especially after she brings us gifts. She loves to play chase with foil balls, plastic bags, ribbons and boxes. AND she loves to be carried. Since September due to no fault of hers she developed megacolon and is now a special needs requiring more care than my husband and I can continue to give. I can share the care protocol but she really would be a purrfect baby for someone or a couple ( no young kids) who’s lifestyle is more homebound and can provide the care and appreciate the love Phoebe will give in return. Someone in So California who loves Persians and is comfortable with handling cats. She is the absolute easiest and sweetest high maintenance baby! her IG account : https://www.instagram.com/phoebe.babygirl?igsh=YzVkODRmOTdmMw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Bought Ravenclaw as a present for my mother when I returned home from deployment, my mom got sick & can no longer care for the cat & I cannot care for her either. Shes a senior cat who loves attention & being pet. Had an ulcer on her eye that scarred over & leaves one white area but vet said she can still see fine. Anyone who can love this senior for as long as she has left would be a life saver! She is a 10yr old purebred Persian

Story
No adoption fee, just looking for a truly caring home! Looking for a loving home for these 2 sisters, about 2-3 years old. Unfortunately, their previous owner passed away and my grandmother is taking care of them but as much as she wants to she doesn’t have the time, strength, or economic needs to give them the proper care they need. They need vet visits as they seem really sad most of the time and don’t want to eat as much. They need a loving home that has the time and patience to take care of them.

Story
My mom looks exactly like the Persian cat on the fancy feast commercial. Mom said she was not sure who my dad was, but we decided not to go on the Maury show. I have the chill personality of my mom, but I can play, and I am a great soccer player. Must have got it from my dad. I love to love my favorite human and I am one very handsome guy that is super affectionate! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2024, 9:06 pm
