My Story
KITTEN POLICIES APPLY!! All kittens under 12 months will only be adopted into homes that either has at least one other kitten/young cat under three years of age or the adopter must be willing to adopt a second kitten/young cat. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!
Kersey is a five to six week old seal point ragdoll-siamese mix kitten (age current as of 4-23-09). She is FIV/FELV negative and has been wormed, vaccinated and flea treated. Kersey will be spayed and microchipped prior to going to her forever home. Kersey was rescued, along with her four littermates, from a local shelter. All of these babies are extremely outgoing, loving, affectionate, and playful.
These kittens will not be ready to go to their forever homes for at least six more weeks (maybe longer depending on how fast they grow, as they must be spayed/neutered prior to adoption). However, we will be taking applications and doing pre-adoptions on the babies. Please note: all deposits made to "hold" cats/kittens are only refundable if we determine that the cat/kitten is unadoptable for some reason; if the adopter changes his/her mind, the deposit is forfeit. Adoption donation - $200; deposit $100. Sorry, we do not ship our cats or provide any transportation. All potential adopters should reside in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Louisiana. We will not adopt outside of those states.
Who We Are: We are a not-for-profit organization who is committed to helping Persians, Himalayans, exotic shorthairs, and ragdolls. All of our expenses are funded by personal and private donations. All of our cats are kept in foster homes - please note, we do not have a shelter facility, so appointments must be made prior to visiting foster homes. All of our cats are spayed/neutered, FIV/FELV tested, wormed, de-fleaed, and vaccinated prior to adoption.
Adoption Process: We require all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application prior to setting up an appointment to visit with the cat(s). We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. If you email us, we will provide you with an application by email.
Adoption Fees: Our adoption donation for persian, himalayan, exotic shorthair, ragdoll and Maine Coon breeds are as follows: for an adult cat is $150, a kitten is $175 to $275 - depending on age, gender, and breed of kitten. Other breeds may have differing adoption donation amounts. We occasionally have reduced fees - these will be noted on the individual cat's listing. If someone adopts more then one cat from us, we will reduce the subsequent adoption fee(s) by $25 to $50 (depending on age of cats/kittens adopted). The adoption fees help defray SOME of the costs associated with rescuing/fostering these kitties. Except for the persian, himalayan, and exotic shorthair cats listed on this site, South Texas Persian Rescue cannot guarantee the parentage or breed of cats on this site (unless otherwise noted that the cat is "purebreed"). Please note: if someone places a deposit on a cat/kitten to "hold" them until they are ready to go home, and the person changes their mind, the deposit is non-refundable - it is only refundable if the cat/kitten become unadoptable for some reason.
Donations are always welcome!
