I don't want to add any new cats to my herd at the moment. So, I thought I would do some volunteering and help a rescue group. I can't donate money, but I can donate time and skills. I found one in southern California called Helping Persians, which specifically helps Persians. I've looked at their website and their listings on PetFinder and was just about to contact them. Then I found they also had 2 other websites and I began to have doubts. I can't put my finger on the 'problem'. Does anyone know anything about this group? (If you don't want to say something in public, please PM me.)

I do know one part of my 'problem' is the application where it says "I hereby give permission for a representative of Helping Persian Cats to call the veterinarian listed above for information, and for my veterinarian to provide any information requested. " Is this standard for rescue groups?

Linda,

Yes, vet checks are normal with all good rescues. A lot of rescues have a regular website as well as a Petfinder site. That is normal, too. I do not know the name of the rescue for Persians in southern Ca, but the one you found may be ie. I do know there is one in southern Ca.

Good luck with the volunteering. It is very satisfying work.

The Rescue I work with didn't ask for Vet info until I was going to adopt and then they came to my house and did a home study and passed before I got my kitty.
