**WARNING: HIGHLY FLUFFY AND SLIGHTLY DRAMATIC CAT AHEAD!** 🚨 Meet Zanzibar, the feline equivalent of a soap opera diva. With a coat so luxurious it could have its own hair care commercial, she demands-no, *expects*-daily brushing. If you neglect your royal grooming duties, she *will* stare at you in disappointment. (And trust us, she has *mastered* the disappointed cat look.) Zanzibar is FIV+, which basically means she's a tough little warrior queen who laughs in the face of adversity. ("Ha! A mere inconvenience!" - Zanzibar, probably.) She enjoys long naps, deep existential conversations about why the food bowl is only *half* full, and taking up an unreasonable amount of space on your bed. She's independent, a little sassy, and has the heart of a lion-if lions demanded to be pampered daily and occasionally knocked things off tables for sport. If you're ready to sign a lifetime contract as Zanzibar's loyal subject (brushing included), she *might* grace you with her affection. No promises, though. Apply today! Zanzibar will review your application and get back to you at her earliest convenience. Primary Color: White Weight: 17.4 Age: 4yrs 3mths 2wks

DOB: 4/12/2014. BONDED WITH MELANIE Mira and Melanie are a stunning duo of longhaired sisters, looking for a forever home where they can truly shine.

Both sisters are sweet yet independent, enjoying quiet companionship while still having their own space to fully fluff out and be their majestic selves. They appreciate respect and may remind you with a gentle swat if their boundaries aren’t honored, but they get along well with other polite cats at Kitty Bubble Cat Café. If you’re looking for two elegant, affectionate, and occasionally sassy ladies to share your home, Mira and Melanie are the perfect match. Come meet them and let them steal your heart!

DOB: 8/19/2023 BONDED WITH NETTIE Nettie and Celie went on many adventures outside together before trying to crash on someone's comfy porch. The owner of the porch wanted to give them a chance to find a forever home so she brought them to Colony cats. These two girls are incredibly sweet and love to chat (both with you and at each other). They are never far from one another and after everything they've been through they need a home that has room for 2. They promise to fill your days with happiness and delight as well as a little bit of humor. Come meet them today and we're sure you'll be delighted by their cuteness and loving purrsonalities!

Persian fun facts

Fun Facts:

They are called Persians because the long-haired gene mutation was thought to have originated in Persia.

Long-haired cats go back a long time -- they are even pictured in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics!

Persians have a reputation for being "furniture with fur" because they are so docile and sedentary, but they do enjoy a good bit of playtime when the time is right!
