Organization and comments |
| St.
Francis Persian Rescue |
This rescue center comes up
first in a Google search listing. I think it is well established. They
are located in the Bedale
area of North Yorkshire. They
re-home Persians and other long haired breeds. I am not sure if that
means mixed breed cats too. It probably does. Pauline Wright started
the this Persian Cat rescue UK center in 1988 and has kept going. I
for one applaud Pauline tremendously for staying the course. Their
adoption fee is usually £150. They insist that if the
adoption
doesn't work out the cat is returned to them - the sign of a really
caring and proper approach. |
| Chapel
House Persian & Pedigree Cat Rescue |
This
is another well established and professional Persian cat rescue UK
center. They have a good website and a purposeful approach selling
products to help support the heavy costs of a well run rescue center.
They are located in Swythamley,
Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK11 0SN. This
is actually in the Peak District, a beautiful area of the country. If
you're going to pick up a cat you might combine it with a short break.
They have strict criteria for the acceptance of applications for
adoption and generally find that the most suitable people are over 45
years of age and are well settled and stay at home people. This is all
very sensible as cats need that kind of stability, routine and company
to be content. |
| Tremarie
Persians Chinchillas & Selkirk Rex |
This
is a cat breeder who also, when required, get involved in the re-homing
of cats. That is my reading of the situation from their website. They
are located in Cornwall, South West England. |
| Persian
Rescue Bristol |
This is a small Persian cat
rescue UK center located in Bristol. At any one time they have no
more than 8 cats at the center. The center is run by Isabel and Keith. |

| London
Persian Rescue |
Another well established
Persian cat rescue UK center located in Fair
Street, near Tower Bridge so it is very central. Full
address: c/o
Barbara Black, 58 St John's Estate, Fair Street, Tower Bridge, London,
SE1 2XE. They take in cats from all over the country and breeders as
well. |
| Rusden Persian
Rescue |
This
Persian cat
rescue UK organization is located in Rusden,
Northamptonshire.
They carry out a home visit of the prospective adopter before the
person decides which cat to adopt. This would probably mean that you
should not
live too far from the center. The operation was founded in January 2007
by Patsy - well done Patsy and helpers. They re-home purebred and mixed
breed Persians. |
| Chinchilla,
Silver Tabby & Smoke Cat Society |
This is
a cat club
that also
helps in the area of cat rescue. Adoption fees are in the order of
£70-90. The type of Persian breed that they offer for
adoption is
as described in the title of the club. This is a society with history
as it was established in 1908. They are a founder member of the
premier cat association in the UK, the GCCF. |
| Posh
Puss Rescue |
This
rescue
operation is an
individual effort, it seems, by Jan Jewell who started it in 2006. She
takes
in pedigree cats so this is not a Persian cat rescue UK center per se.
But I am sure some Persian cats come her way. She makes the point that
most
of the Persians she has had to re-home have come to her matted.
Persians are high maintenance. If you think that you can't cope then
don't do it obviously. Adopting is for the benefit of the cat (and a
reward for you). She is based in Porthleven,
Cornwall apparently. |
| Cats
Protection |
Cats
Protection is
not a breed specific cat rescue organisation but it is big and very
well established. That presents the possibility of the occasional
purebred Persian cat passing through the organisation. They were formed
in 1927 and have up to 7,000 cats in their care at any one time - the
biggest cat welfare charity in the UK. Cats for re-homing are fostered
into volunteers' homes and the organisation has branches throughout the
UK. They operate nationwide. They have 29 adoption
centers. |
