 What we do
London Persian Rescue Rescues, rehabilitates, educates and rehomes
We want happy endings, and new biginnings so we get to know the rescued cats and match them with their perfect person
London Persian Rescue keeps cats in a home environment so we know how they behave around people and other cats
We rehome cats throughout the UK and provide ongoing advice and support to our adoptees – most problems are solvable - but on the rare occasion things don't work out we always take a cat back
Why we do it
Whilst loving and beautiful, Persians are high maintenance and do not suit people without the time and patience to look after their long coats (which if neglected just turn into a matted filthy mess)
They also need their faces washed every day because their 'squashed' face means debris can collect in the cheeks and eyes causing infection. Some people are unable or unwilling to carry out this essential care and therefore seek a new home for their pet.
Others simply cannot afford their cat or are elderly and ill, sometimes a relationship ends – life affects people and this affects cats.
London Persian Rescue Picks up the Pieces
Whatever the reason for rehoming we never turn a Persian away – so please get in touch if you need help or support or if you or someone you know is struggling – please contact us – we may be able to help
London Persian Rescue works collaboratively with all the mainstream rescue organisations, including Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, The Mayhew Animal charity and other Pedigree Breed welfare groups, including Rex and British Shorthair. We also assist other Persian rescues outside London in emergency situations.
Cats come into rescue for all sorts of reasons – and we ensure that we have an insight into their character, preferences and behaviour before we rehome them. All our cats are vet checked, vaccinated and deflead/matted, bathed, groomed and dental checked before rehoming
Our founder Barbara Black is a trained nurse and midwife who has been looking after Persian cats for over 20 years. Barbara's skill and experience in rehabilitating cats is often used by other rescue organisations to train new staff and most of the people who adopt one of 'Barbara’s Babies' become good friends and stay in touch.
