About Persians
The Persian is a medium-sized cat with a long coat. With rescue cats the individual matters more than the label — temperament, age and history tell you far more than the breed name on the card, and many rescue cats are moggies rather than pedigrees.
Shelter breed labels in Australia are usually a visual guess rather than a DNA result, so a cat listed as a Persian may simply be the closest match a rescue could give. That is worth knowing before you rule a listing in or out.
Which rescues have Persians?
Right now Persians in Australia are listed by Cat Haven. Applications, home checks and adoption decisions are handled by the rescue directly — LocalPetFinder brings the listings together so you do not have to check each rescue separately, and does not take a fee.

LocalPetFinder lists Persians available for adoption from rescues right across Australia, in New South Wales, Western Australia, Queensland, and Victoria. Right now the rescue listing Persians is Cat Haven. Every listing links straight to the rescue that has the cat, and the application is handled by them, not by us.
Are these Persians for sale?
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Persian here comes from an Australian rescue rather than a breeder or a classified seller, and the adoption fee already covers desexing, vaccination and microchipping. That fee is typically a couple of hundred dollars, against often well over a thousand from a breeder with none of the vet work done. If you searched "persian cat for sale", adopting gets you a vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
