Persian Cats Available for Adoption

Hermes is a handsome young man with blue eyes and a heart full of character. Best guess age would be about 3-4 years old.

A good Samaritan alerted us to a stray cat that had been living in the bushes in a very industrial area near an arcade in Surrey. This cat looked to be in extremely rough shape, so we headed out and set traps for him. Luckily he was caught in less than 4 hours. We were shocked when we discovered what was in our trap. A gorgeous purebred lilac point persian.

Though playful and curious, his past makes it clear he lacked proper socialization before being rescued. He was initially fearful of nearly everything, however he is slowly learning how to navigate the world and interact appropriately with others.

Once he feels safe, Hermes loves affection, especially chin scratches—and will occasionally hop into your lap for attention. Because he can become overstimulated quickly, he’s best suited to a calm home without small children.

As a Persian, Hermes requires daily grooming, including brushing and regular eye cleaning, which he tolerates very well. When he was first found, his coat was severely matted and needed to be shaved, so consistent care will be important for his long-term comfort.

Hermes may coexist peacefully with another cat, though he can be protective of his favorite bed and toys. He has also been introduced to a small, well‑behaved dog and has grown friendly and comfortable with him over time.

Hermes will thrive with a patient adopter who can offer him the time and understanding he needs to continue blossoming into the loving companion he’s meant to be.

Hermes adoption fee is $650. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, flea treated, snap tested, had a lion shave.

The Persian cat is a beloved breed known for its luxurious, long fur, flat face, and gentle temperament. Originating from Persia, now Iran, Persians are characterized by their round faces, short noses, and large, expressive eyes. These affectionate and calm cats make wonderful indoor companions, thriving in a peaceful and quiet environment. Persians require regular grooming to maintain their stunning coat and are prone to some health issues due to their flat facial structure.
