Looking for a Kitten or Cat to Join your Family?! (Part 1)

As some of you may know I have 2 Ragdoll cats, Mya and Leo.  They are wonderful cats! They have a loving nature, and as their name suggests, they have a tendency to go limp when picked up (not all of them do though believe it or not!)  They tend to be on the bigger size, with the males averaging around 15 pounds.  Leo, my male is about 12/13 pounds, while my female Mya is a lot smaller, around 8 or 9 pounds.  Before them, I had a crazy Calico named Kali, who I adopted from the Brooklyn AC&C, who had a dual personality, but loved her just the same!  And before her, I had a DSH cat named Penny, who was found on the street, but the sweetest cat you would ever meet.  And of course, I can’t forget my little sunshine, Valentino, my rescue pup from Louie’s Legacy (www.louieslegacy.org), who just turned 2, and who gets tormented by my cat Leo!  🙂

Even though a majority of my animals have been rescued, I am ashamed to admit that my Ragdolls were purchased from a breeder in upstate NY.  I researched the breed, and really wanted to have that particular breed.  I didn’t know at the time (about 5-6 years ago) that I could find a purebred or a close mix from a shelter or rescue agency.  I definitely would have adopted if I had known this fact.  I wanted to share this with my readers because its so important to support your local shelters, and help homeless animals find a forever home.

Below, meet one kind of the adoptable “purebred” cats.  These stories were provide by Adopt-A-Pet.  On Adopt-A-Pet’s website, you can search for your next feline family member by breed, gender, color, coat length, age and more.

Persians Cats – Fluffy

Persians are known for their round faces and short, stubby muzzles. They always have long and thick coats, short little legs, and a wide head. The breed’s fur is so long and dense, actually, that they have to have a groomer take professional care of it every six to eight weeks! Persians are usually quiet, laid-back, and lazy – they do great in apartment environments.

If you’re looking for a fluffy, flat-faced Persian to bring home for a companion, check out this lovely kitty!

This is Fluffy, named because she’s just so fluffy! Fluffy is a tortoiseshell kitty that loves to snuggle when you come home from a long day at work. She is declawed in the front, but she will still try to knead you to show how much she loves you. Even though she is almost an old lady at nine years of age, you’d never know it – she’s playful, loves children, and adores her best friend Charlie.
