That is terrible.
I hope she gets a home and what is theowners excuse for giving a cat that age to the pound.

Incredible. I never cease to be disappointed by people.

The only place I know of that is dedicated to caring for senior and disabled animals is called Brighthaven. It's in California, but I know they have taken animals from other places.

A long shot, I know, but FWIW: www.brighthaven.org

Poor baby -I hope she gets a miracle and is saved. I'd be banned if I told you what I hoped for the heartless waste of life who turned her in.

Here's another one in NJ - still far, but closer than CA.

It's a sanctuary for "cats rescued from hopeless situations" : www.tabbysplace.org

In Georgia (surely they've contacted some of these already...?):

Good Mews Animal Foundation, Marietta www.goodmews.org

Atlanta Persian & Siamese Rescue (they take other purebreds including Himalayans)
www.apsr.info

Rescue Cats, Inc., Metro Atlanta, in Fayetteville www.rescuecats.org

Thanks! I will put these on the Persian Rescue Yahoo group site.
