The Fur-Get-Me-Not Spring Fling Auction by SPHR

Through love, commitment and dedication SPHR strives to give felines a renewed life with the protection and compassion that they have always deserved. SPHR specializes in taking on the hard cases whether it be hoarding, neglect, senior care or high cost medical treatments. Without our strong community of support, and fiercely passionate volunteers we would not be able to achieve our goals year after year. With a goal to raise $10,000 this year, we will be able to continue our rescue work through 2022. As a 501c3 non-profit, we do not have the traditional overhead costs and are able to funnel all contributions straight to our many felines in need so you can be assured every penny is spent saving and bettering lives.

Seattle Persian and Himalayan Rescue was founded in 2004 with the goal of rescuing purebred Persian and Himalayan cats from shelters. Many people do not realize that Persians are the number one breed turned into shelters in the United States.

Persians also tend to do very poorly in the shelter environment compared to other breeds, and often face euthanasia and or are not placed up for adoption because they become sick (their flat faces cause them to catch upper respiratory viruses much more easily than cats with longer noses). For these reasons, many public shelters seek to transfer Persians to rescue. We strive to rescue every adoptable (and many unadoptable) Persian from the shelters we work with in the Northwest, and also do our best to assist owners that need to rehome cats. When we have the space and funds, we extend our care to other breeds of cats as well as mixes and domestic cats.

SPHR is run by a small group of volunteers that devote an enormous amount of time, care, and energy to saving these wonderful creatures. We operate solely on donations, and thus have a very tight budget.
With your help, we can support the rescue as it is today and expand to save more of these wonderful creatures in the future!
