My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PPCR Cat

Standard adult or kitten

Born ~2020, M, Cream and Fawn Persian
Adoption Fee: $300

All you need is one picture of this boy to have the whole picture of who he is.
He is a little armful of soft cuddly treasured kitty. He loves humans and he loves being touched all over. He didn't love his bath but he was nice about it and it made a big difference to his coat, lightening it. He was very dusty. Hard though it is to imagine he must have been outside a lot.

He was brought to a shelter covered with fleas. His coat has been shaved, first his back and later his tummy. He looks a bit like a little lamb right now but his fur will grow. It was fun bathing him. He is pretty much fun in every way. A kind cat rescuer got him out of the shelter and later transferred him to me.

Gizmo clearly hasn't had the typical Persian life of napping on pillows and eating tidbits from the fingers of his human slaves. He came into the shelter filty matted and unneutered. This last has given him a particularly solid and muscular body but being outside it has also propelled him into fights with other males for the irresistible females. We know that because he is FIV +; he has the Feline Immunological Virus which is pretty much only passed in mating fights. Years ago ignorance of FIV caused shelters to euthanize many, many FIV+ kitties. Now as more research has been done on cats science has found that the lifespan of a FIV+ cats is about the same as any other cat. It is not a good thing but it is not at all as bad as other kitty troubles like heart and kidney disease.

I have always fostered FIV+ cats. Most of my adopters have read up about it and are comfortable adding an FIV cat to the cats in their home.. Occasionally an adopter chooses not to do that. If Gizmo's FIV status concerns you I suggest you read about it on the web. He is friendly to other cats and would fit in with them easily. Or he could be an only cat.

What he really wants is the company of his humans. He is not a good choice for folks who are gone all day everyday. Persians are treasures who need to be protected and their tender hearts must be kept safe. They need tons of love. Ands they will give you back even more.They are personal and intimate in the love they give, bred to be loving little companions.

Some people worry about cats neutered late in life- fearful they will have litterbox problems. Captain Gizmo has been 100% litterbox perfect with us and also was perfect in his previous home.

Some family will be so lucky to have this little boy's company
Captain Gizmo is neutered, vaccinated, FELV tested, dewormed, microchipped, eats wet food, and eats dry food.

He is fostered by Harriet in Santa Cruz.

Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue is dedicated to matching exceptional cats with qualified adopters who will cherish their pet and create an ideal forever home.

If you believe you are the perfect adopter for Captain Gizmo please tell us why in the comments section of our Adoption Application, and contact Harriet at harrietluvskitties@yahoo.com If you are unable to reach Harriet please email us at info@purebredsplus.org.

NOTE: We prefer families with children bring them to the adoption appointment. Why? This allows interaction between the children and the cat. This helps ensure they will be a good fit for each other. A mismatch between a child and a cat is not in anyone's best interests!

Additional adoption info

READY TO ADOPT?
The first step in the adoption process for your new kitty is to submit an adoption application. The second step is to contact the foster home listed on the specific cat(s) or kittens you are interested in to find out more. Are you adopting a kitten? Kittens do best when they have a friend or two to grow up with! Kittens who grow up with another feline friend tend to be well-behaved, well-adjusted, and overall happier. Purebred Plus Cat Rescue kittens are typically adopted as pairs or as a single kitten to homes with an appropriate feline playmate. If you prefer only one kitten, we strongly encourage you to consider one of our wonderful older kittens or young adult cats that are available!

Go meet their pets

Our cats are neutered or spayed, vaccinated and FELV/FIV tested. We are not a shelter. All of our cats are fostered in private homes. The whole goal of the adoption process is to ensure the cat or kitten is a good fit for you, the adopter, and your environment. We are looking for the best fit NOT first come first serve. We always focus on what is the best for the cat or kitten.

When you adopt from Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue, you are saving TWO lives - the cat you adopt and the cat who gets to take its place in rescue!
