10 year old male solid red Persian.  He is a talker. He keeps it up until you start petting him.  

On 3/14 we took in 6 male Persians who used to be shown when they were younger.  Unfortunately they will need extensive grooming because they have become matted due to the lack of attention in this area.  A fellow that works with feral colonies has been helping a neighbor that has been sick for quite some time with the feeding of her 6 Persian cats. She has since died, but asked him to help find homes for her cats before she passed. 

Once RD is fixed and vaccinated, we will have more than $800 in vet care alone for the six Persians we took in in order to get them up to adoptable conditions.  If you would like to donate to their vet bills, you can donate directly to Dr. Karla McCloud of Animal Hospital of Central Brevard, or see our website http://www.pawsfla.com for ways to donate to the shelter. 
 

UPDATE:  He has been groomed and is eating now.  We are still trying to fatten up RD a bit before he gets neutered.  He has returned to my house since he has passed the critical point. He is eating quite well. He needed to be able to have space to move around freely to get his coordination back. The first few days he reminded me of a mall walker. He would walk the perimeter of my house over and over. It was so funny to watch. He didn’t' know what to do with himself. Then I would find him crashed in a litter box. That was familiar to him. So I had to gently wipe him down and show him a few other places for him to relax. He really likes my daughter Jasmine. Sometimes he sits outside her room when he hears her voice.  

He is much more comfortable getting around now. You can tell his coordination is better. I can even call his name and say " I'm gonna get you" and walk towards him and he will actually skedaddle!  I can carry him around. He just starts purring when you even look at him. He no longer sleeps in the litter box. Yeah!!! He hangs out with the other cats in the foster room that is the warmest. He is sooo good when I comb his fur. He lifts his legs one at a time. I just wish he wasn't so boney still. He has a fat little belly though. It is hard to get a picture of him because he is always moving. His eyes are so large and orange and he closes them when the camera flashes. We will have one soon. We think he is the oldest of the bunch.

UPDATE 2: RD is the last of the six Persians.  The other five have been adopted.
