★(¯´*•.¸ ★* * * Welcome to AJ's Best Friends Persian & Himalayan Rescue* * *★¸.•*´¯)★

Long-haired Persian cats were first discovered in the Middle East by an Italian traveler in the early 1600s. They were eventually brought to Europe, and became popular in England during the 19th century. Queen Victoria owned two blue Persians.

Persian cats came to America in the late 1800s. The breed was officially recognized by the Cat Fanciers Association in 1914, and quickly became the most popular cat breed in America. U.S. breeders have their own breed standard for this cat, giving the American Persian a slightly different look among the world’s Persian cats.

The Persian breed is also recognized by The International Cat Association (TICA) and the American Cat Fanciers Association (ACFA).

Take a look around our website for more information on this popular breed. We hope that you'll be convinced enough to want to adopt a rescued kitty. Ask anyone who has adopted a rescued kitty and they'll all tell you that they are every bit as loving and special.
