Where our cats are from

Most of our cats come from Northern California Animal Shelters or veterinarians. We rarely take cats from individuals. There are too many shelter cats needing our help.  Persian and Himalayan cats are waiting for you at:

California Shelters

Other Shelters

Other Rescues

Our Finding a Persian a Home page tells how to go about trying to find a home for your cat.

Adopting a PHCR cat (We do not ship cats)

Please see the How to Adopt page to find out how to adopt a Persian or Himalayan. Adoptions are by appointment only. Remember to print out our Adoption Application Form and bring it with you when you visit the rescue

Adopted PHCR cats

Before any cats leave our care, they are:

• Spayed or neutered
• Vaccinated for FVRCP
• Leukemia tested
• Groomed
• Evaluated for personality to assure a good match with the new family

Donations

We are a Non-Profit 501-[c]3 Corporation run by volunteers. Every penny that you donate goes to help the cats in our care. We can't save every Persian & Himalayan in the world, but for each one that you help us save it IS the world for that kitty!. Please see our What We Need and Volunteer Opportunities pages where you'll find a list of very easy, simple things you could do to help . Any of them will make a much bigger difference than you can imagine! Please visit our Contact Us page if YOU are able to help.
