Persian Cats Rescue Groups & Shelters

At any given time, there are 800-1,000 Persians & Himalayans in shelters and rescues throughout the US. You are more than welcome to fly or drive to meet our cats. We have adopted cats living all over the world, however, we prefer that you find a cat near you.

Two good websites for finding Persians in Shelters and Rescues near you in the US are:

They list thousands of animals in shelters all across the U.S. You just put in your zip code, do a search by breed or shelter, and you’ll get all the Persians listed in the US, starting with those closest to you. Be sure to do a separate search for both Persians and Himalayans.

However, not every Shelter or Rescue lists on the above websites, so it’s a good idea to let your local shelters and veterinary offices know that you are looking to Rescue a Persian. So many are euthanized because there is nowhere for them to go.  One example is Las Vegas, Dewey shelter. They get many Persians in and don’t have local rescuers there anymore.
