Thoroughbred Persian brother and sister need a special
home
Hi
All
Please
take the time to forward this on URGENTLY to as many people as
possible......Western Cape!!
These
2 beautiful Persian cats came up for adoption in November last
year as their owners were emigrating, I was so thorough with there
home checks and the couple that I eventually placed them with I
thought was the perfect home, a newly married couple who had just
bought a lovely safe home.....I kept in touch with the people
and they were wonderful with the cats, however about a month ago I
had this horrible feeling about these 2 and decided to go and check
on them, I went there a few times only to get no answer at home,
this made me very nervous, I eventually got hold of the lady who
informed me that she got a job in JHB and has been living there
since Feb this year, her in laws were staying in the house with the
cats but 3 months ago decided they did not want to stay there
anymore so the cats have been living in an empty house for the last
3 month ALONE just being fed every day, at 1st they did not want to
let the cats go but finally they have changed their mind and are
willing to part with them....I would like to find them a home ASAP
before they change their minds again.....I am having sleepless
nights over these 2.
Shah
and Cinders are 5 years old (Tortie girl and black boy) and are
TRULY the sweetest cats, I pop in to groom and love them a bit
sometimes, they are unfortunately very nervous around small
children and I don't think they will cope with dogs....they have
always been the only 2 cats so it would be ideal for them to go to a
home where they will be the only 2, they are also fed on Hills
alternated with Royal Canin and I would like for them to remain on
that diet, unfortunately these cats can not go to a flat as they are
both used to a garden (safe with walls around the premises) I
know the orders are tall but they have been through SO much and now
they have to move AGAIN I am just wanting to make it as easy as
possible for them...I have 20 years experience with this breed and
although they are VERY sensitive they are the most beautiful natured
creatures and my heart just melts when I come in contact
with 1......I wish I could own them all.
So
if you think you can truly open your heart and SAFE
home and love these 2 babies and are dedicated enough to groom
them
then please give me a call urgently on 083 2694304 or email me on ma...@isretail.co.za
Home
checks will be done.

As
the dusty desert caravans wound their way westward from Persia and
Iran, it is supposed that secreted among the rare spices and jewels
on the basket-laden camels was an even more precious cargo, an
occasional longhair cat. They were called Persian for their "country
of origin," but hieroglyphic references as early as 1684 B.C. shroud
forever their exact beginnings.
Persians,
with their long flowing coats and open pansy-like faces are the
number one breed in popularity. Their sweet, gentle, personalities
blend into most households once they feel secure in their new
environment. Creatures of habit, they are most at home in an
atmosphere of security and serenity, but with love and reassurance,
can easily adapt to the most boisterous of households. Their quiet,
melodious voices are pleasant and non-abrasive. They communicate
delightfully with their large expressive eyes and make charming pets
for all ages. Persians have short heavily-boned legs to support
their broad, short bodies. They like to have their feet firmly
planted and are not given to high jumping and climbing. Playful but
never demanding, they love to pose and will drape themselves in a
favorite window or chair, enhancing the decor in much the same way
as a treasured painting. Persians are tremendously responsive and
become a constant source of joy and delight to their owners.
Pleasurable as an unexpected sunbeam, their companionship is close
and enduring.
Their
long flowing coats require an indoor, protected environment. Proper
maintenance requires a daily run-through with a metal comb to
eliminate the potential drawbacks of tangles and hairballs. An
occasional bath, attempted only after a complete comb-through and
clipping of the nail tips, will keep the coat clean, healthy and
beautiful. It is wise to establish the routine of the bath when they
are young. While the white Persian has long been the darling of
photographers and advertisers.
