Persian Rescue About Us Rushden Persian Rescue is a new Charity based in Rushden (Northamptonshire) for the rescue /re-homing of Persian cats in Northamptonshire and the surrounding areas. Having done rescue / fostering for the Cats Protection League (Northampton) and Cat Action Trust for many years, myself (Patsy) and my trusted band of volunteers founded Rushden Persian Rescue in January 2007. We were thrown in at the deepend in January 07 when we took in 7 Persian cats (one heavily pregnant). Sadly she lost her kittens despite our best efforts and a C-section. She was later neutered and homed when she had fully recovered. Since then we have had a steady stream of Persian, Exotic and Persian 'crosses' come over our doorstep. Before you can adopt a cat, a home visit is carried out. This means that when we contact you to come to see the cats, if you find one to suit you, it means you can take them home immediately with you. All our cats are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, bathed/groomed, wormed/flea treated and fully vet checked before they are offered to you. They are also supplied with 4 weeks FREE Pet Plan Insurance, and go home with a Royal Canin Food Parcel, along with a care leaflet, grooming tips, and a list of '' do's and dont's''. OUR VETS We are blessed to have 2 vets to help us with our Rescue work ..... The first is Market Square Veterinary Clinic (Higham Ferrers) where we are a regular visitor :-) , and I don't know what we would do without David & Andrew and all the veterinary nurses !!! .... and also '' Well Pets Veterinary Practice '' and we would like to say a big thank you to Anya, Martin and all the team. FUNDRAISING Obviously being a Charity we rely on donations which are always gratefully received (be they monetary or tins/bags of food) :-) We recently had a stall at Animals In Need Fun Day and had a wonderful day, met some new 'adoptive parents' and raised some money for the Rescue Fund. Watch this space for details of forthcoming 'fundraising events' We are always in need of donations of pens, cat carriers etc and also new 'foster homes'. If you think you may be able to help us then please get intouch. Patsy
