Persian kittens & cats in Austin, Texas

Hello, I'm Iris. I've always made friends with other cats, we get along just fine. But who I love most is humans. I'm as sweet as can be,not to mention beautiful. I enjoy a good petting session and I'm always up for a cozy nap. I'm quite mellow, not much of a troublemaker. I believe that every cat deserves a loving home. I promise to fill your life with calm, companionship, and lots of purrs. I'm ready to share my sweetness and serenity with you.

Loving, Purr-o-matic, Playful Frankly, we just can't say enough good things about Frank I Goral! It's not merely because his long, luscious black coat is incredibly soft or because he is extremely handsome. It's what's on the inside...his sweetness, loving nature, intelligence...we could write a book about our Franky! Frank is blind and the way he handles himself with calmness, curiosity and good cheer absolutely warms our heart. He amazes us every day with his ability to skillfully navigate his environment with ease using his superpower hearing and memory. He quickly learned the layout of his foster home, including the stairs, and understands if his foster says "careful" to slow down and check for obstacles. He has had no issues finding and using his litterbox. His foster initially rang a little bell or tapped on the box to help him learn the location and he had it figured out in no time. It's easy to forget that he can't see. Frank loves to snuggle and will let you hold him in your arms like a baby. Once he knows you're a true-blue friend, he is ready to be your bestie! He will carefully follow you around the house and will shower you with loads of happy purrs! He is a smart cookie who loves learning new games - he is a master of the track ball tower (see video!) and brings his A game when attacking a catnip toy with enthusiastic bunny kicks and expert wrestling moves. He would love to discover new toys that his forever family picks out for him! Once Frank becomes familiar with the terrain of a home, he feels secure and relaxed. He likes to lounge in the kitchen or hallway of his foster home, and sleeps on his back with his paws sticking up! He loves exploring and comes running when his foster shakes the treat bag. Yum! If he ever does need help, he will ask with a sweet meow. Frank was slowly introduced to the 7 resident cats in his foster home and gets along fine with them. He needs to have a safe place where he knows he can retreat and not feel threatened. He has a bedroom in his foster home that is only for him where he can hang out or sleep undisturbed by the other kitties. Frank is such a cuddly, clever and fun mini-panther! Show him around your home, give him a chance to learn the lay of the land and soon enough you'll have a loyal and loving buddy for life. Are you ready to meet this fabulous kitty? Contact us to schedule an introduction! Frank has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! waives the adoption fees of these cats, and provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Frank can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care. All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team. For further information or to meet Frank I Goral, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.

Affectionate, goofy, and totally gorgeous! Meet Vampire Slayer! This fabulously fluffy girl is ready to "slay" your heart, and is guaranteed to charm anyone she meets! Vampire Slayer, known as Buffy in her foster home, is half kitten, half bunny, and 100% perfect. While her care may look a little different from other kitties, she loves to snuggle and play just like any other kitten! Vampire Slayer has Manx Syndrome, and as is common with Manx cats, her spine is shortened and didn't develop normally. As a result, she doesn't have a tail and her back legs are wonky - which is why she looks a bit like a bunny as she hops around! She is also incontinent, and needs manual expressions about three times a day to help her go potty. It's pretty straightforward, and doesn't take much time to care for her! Once you get the hang of it, it could take no more than 15 minutes a day; APA! will show you how to manually express Vampire Slayer and make sure you are comfortable with it. Vampire Slayer is a goofy and energetic kitten, and hops around the house at lighting speed, "slaying" every toy in her path! She loves to play with the other kitties in her foster home, and she would love to find a forever home where she can have kitty playmates! She has never met a dog, but would likely do just fine with a slow introduction. While Vampire Slayer may need a little extra care, including manual expressions, a daily medication, and the occasional booty bath, she will repay her humans in endless purrs, snuggles, and hilarious kitten antics! Her foster parents would love to tell you more about this very special kitten and answer any questions you have about her needs - contact us today to arrange a meet-and-greet!
