DiDi Persian Mahwah, NJ

Say hello to DiDi, a beautiful all white Persian female cat with bright green eyes! She is approximately 2 years young and available for adoption.

DiDi has one of the fluffiest tails you will ever find in a cat, its hard to choose which is her best feature, her eyes or her tail?

Didi is one of the many that we are rescuing from the Middle East (there are now over 200) that are part of our international cat rescue mission! This rescue mission has become critical as the conflicts in the Middle East are increasing the number of cats being brought into Egypt by rescues who are fleeing Lebanon and Syria for safety!

Didi was rescued from a home where the children were allowed to mistreat her and were in many ways abusive towards the cat, without any intervention from the adults in the home. Didi was their pin cushion for fun and she could not escape their torment. Thankfully a neighbor was able to convince the family to relinquish Didi to our rescue partners so that she could have a better life., and indeed she will!

Didi has been thoroughly vetted prior to adoption including spay/neuter surgery, fully vaccinated (rabies and distemper), blood tested negative for FIV and FLeV, microchipped and treated for all parasites.

Didi (and a majority of our purebred cats) is located in Cairo, Egypt with our rescue partners, and will likely be taking our next flight to the USA.

Even though our international cats are healthy on the day of travel to the USA, all cats are required to spend 14-21 days in our cattery in New Jersey prior to moving into their new home. This is to ensure the cats do not develop any post travel health issues that we need to treat prior to adoption.

All adoption applications for any cat must be submitted online;

We read every application that is submitted and it can take us 2-4 days to respond to most applicants. If we believe you may be a potential match for the cat(s) we will respond to you via email. This email will detail all the next steps required in order for you to be officially approved as an adopter. Our email can easily be flagged as spam/junk so please check those folders for our response.

We will ask all potential adopters who pass the first step to submit/complete the following;
-2+ personal references

-your building's pet policy from management or your landlord (if you rent)
-1+ alternative designated caretaker(s) for the cat(s)

*General inquiries about any cat cannot be responded to without an application submitted first. If the cat is on petfinder.com the cat is still available.

Adoption fee is non-negotiable.

What your (tax deductible) adoption fee/donation covers:

Anti-Parasitics - all cats are dewormed, treated for fleas/ticks, ear mites.

Travel Passes/Fees- the adoption fee also pays for the cat's travel from Egypt or other country to the USA.

*Please keep in mind that a majority of the cats for adoption from the Middle East were found in terrible condition, some requiring extensive veterinary care and/or surgery. We do not increase the adoption fee despite the additional funds used to rehabilitate these cats.

**You may see our cats posted on petfinder elsewhere, or other adoption sites with our rescue partners in Canada and Europe! We are working together to find great homes for these cats and move them out of the Middle East to make space for more! If the cat is still on petfinder.com he/she is available but all potential adopters will be notified if their status changes.

***Can't adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring one or more of the cats on our petfinder page so that we can assist our rescue partners with food and litter and proper veterinary care.
