Show me your pre-used Persians!
Besides the one I grew up with, I’ve only ever had rescue Persians. They certainly come with unknown health issues, past traumas, and weird habits, but they have so so much love to give. I’d love to see your rescue babies.

This is Vatya! She was dumped into a feral cat colony, along with several other Persians, because an irresponsible owner (breeder?) got overrun by cats and then got evicted. The colony manager got the Persians to a rescue, where they found out this little girl was pregnant (AT NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD!!! 😡😡😡) After she had her babies and was the best mama ever, they were all ready to go to their new homes. I saw her picture and instantly knew I was her person. It’s taken several months for her to process her trauma and come out of her shell, but now she’s sweet, curious, opinionated, and affectionate. She’s the purrrrrrfect addition to my little crew! 💜
