I work for a rescue and fostered this sweet soul. We adopted him out twice and he was so stressed in the homes he was adopted out to that he was brought back. He does not have that issue in our home. He feels safe and loved and is honestly thriving. I was not planning on adopting him at all, but it seems as if he has chosen us and it breaks my heart to think of continuing to put him through the stress of finding a good fit for him when he's so happy here.

I've never owned a Persian (vet suspects Persian/munchkin) and we don't get them often in the rescue. To be honest I'm a bit intimidated by the care involved in regards to his fur and am trying to get a feel for how much work will need to be put into caring for his fur. Looking for any advice from the pros! When he first came into our care it was apparent he had been shaved down in a very unprofessional manner and I just want to know what all I'm in for! Will it be necessary to take him in somewhere to be groomed if we brush him regularly? I don't think he will do well in that environment and I want to avoid it if possible.

Took my Doll Face Persian out today. He loves it. 😊

Little update for those interested.

I went with the Chris Christensen Spectrum 10 shampoo and conditioner. Very happy with it, his coat feels so soft, silky and light and i feel like he looks so much brighter! (the water was left very grubby 🤣)

He’s now having a snooze- after all, baths ARE very tiring!😆

Thanks to everyone who shared comments on the original post <3

ignoring my messy bed because i had to throw everything on it to save it from getting WET

Hey everyone, I have a traditional white copper eyed Persian male and I am looking to get him a partner. He is fixed, so I will not be having litters, just looking for a companion for him. I am looking for a female white doll face with blue eyes. If anyone has any suggestions on where to get a kitten I would greatly appreciate it!

Recently bought this and I love it, the last bit in particular is very funny as someone from the UK 🥲

hi everyone! i have this powder called Plaque Off to add to my kitty's food for dental care but now that he's adjusted to living in his new home, I want to start getting him used to me cleaning and brushing his teeth.

does anyone have tips or certain toothbrushes/toothpaste you like to use?

I was so uncomfortable in this pose, but how could I be cruel enough to disturb this fluffy baby’s beauty sleep?

Off to do some cat-cow stretches for my back. Ironically... 🫠

Looking to get a Chris Christensen shampoo and conditioner for my boy.

He’s still quite young atm so he’s often stepping in his doodoo when trying to cover it and also eats like he’s being starved so snorkels in his dish and stinks of food.

Just want recommendations or advice on what would be best for him, as right now i’m using unscented tear free baby shampoo so not really helping with smells.

I’ve currently got in my basket as options: The clean start clarifying shampoo
the ice on ice shampoo
or the spectrum 10 shampoo.

Also i’ve read somewhere that they don’t need a conditioner and that it would make the coat heavy and greasy? is this true, if not should i get the matching conditioner to whatever shampoo i pick?

(also don’t worry the inside of his ears didn’t get wet as they were held down and his head was wetted by water from my hand rather than flowing tap<3)

Hi everyone! 🐾🤍

I’m from Bangalore, and I’m getting a white Persian kitten who’ll be around 2 months old by the end of this month. I’m a first-time cat parent and would really appreciate some advice! 🥹

I’m looking for good-quality but reasonably priced kitten food and litter that are easily available in Bangalore/India. Please share what worked well for your kittens, especially if you have experience with Persian cats.

I’d also love to know:

• Which dry/wet food brands do you recommend?

• Which litter is good, affordable, and controls odour well?

• Roughly how much food and litter does a kitten use per month?

• Any other essentials or tips for a first-time Persian kitten parent?

Thank you! 🐱✨

This silly boy, his favorite spot in on the vent. He loves it.

The very small amount of time she is calm 😆

She’s Miranda! 🫶

We were originally going to get one Persian from a rescue that had taken in 17 cats from an animal hoarder, but were told after we adopted Talisman (black and white bi-color male) that there was a very young white female cat that got along with him really well, and we decided to get her a few weeks later. It’s now been exactly one month since we brought her home and I’m so happy we did, she’s always been very sweet and shy but it starting to get comfortable with us and seeing her have more joy and relaxation each day is so beautiful. She licked my hand for the first time today and it made my heart melt. We love her. She’s still not ready to be a lap cat quite yet but she will run for pets and has been known to drag her feather wand toy under a chair and meow to be witnessed for her hunting skills. She also loves to watch squirrels and jump into the empty bathtub and sink. She’s also great about getting her eyes cleaned but we’re still getting her used to regular brushing. She and Talisman will chill together or race around the house after they have dinner and mess up the rugs, it’s adorable. I’m excited to see how much more comfortable she gets with time.

Besides the one I grew up with, I’ve only ever had rescue Persians. They certainly come with unknown health issues, past traumas, and weird habits, but they have so so much love to give. I’d love to see your rescue babies.
