Persian & Himalayan Cat Rescue of Northern California


Happy Holidays! Our 2024 PHCR Holiday Letter is out and you can read it here

Before you scroll all the way down to “our” cats, we have a happy ending story for you…

While we don’t always have a foster space in the moment a rescue is needed, we are lucky to have wonderful rescue connections to help. And, thanks to supporters like you, the resources to pay the expenses – vet bills, etc. – to secure safe, successful rescues. “Chris” is a perfect example of our work with SNAP Cats, an incredible rescue group.

Chris’s beloved mama passed away 2 years ago. Her husband had barely cared for him since, before entering a hospital himself months ago. Poor Chris only survived because a neighbor threw some food into the home occasionally! The neighbor called us, thank goodness. Now, we did not immediate foster available, but we knew we could count on our friends at SNAP Cats. They kindly took Chris into their facility and the rehab began. First – shave off TWO POUNDS of fur and remove 3 ingrown toenails! Chris is soooo happy now and thrilled to be rescued. He is a very calm sweet cat! Here’s where the partnership comes in. He’ll stay with SNAP Cats as we all work together to get him the very best, loving home, and we at PHCR are paying his medical expenses. You can see his story on Facebook here

2023 PHCR Holiday Newsletter

Since 1990, as a dedicated group of volunteers, it has been our mission to rescue and re-home Persian cats from shelters, vets and owners who need help re-homing their pets.

Adopted cats must be indoors only, and no de-clawing!
