Siamese Cat Rescue

More people are able to identify a variety of dog breeds, even those who don't have a dog of their own. Everyday folks are less likely to be able to name more than a couple of cat breeds. One of the most identifiable cat breeds is the distinctive Siamese. These cats, with the gorgeous blue eyes, silky short light fur and darker "points" are the epitome of elegance. What can I say? I'm the owner of a "Meezer" and she'd disown me if I said anything unflattering. Seren(dipity) simply showed up one day, asleep in a flower pot on my friend's back porch. And she's the kitty-light of my life! But Siamese aren't for everyone. They're opinionated, talk a lot, bond closely with a limited number of people, and are so darn smart they'll train owners very quickly to their whims. And sometimes, sadly, they lose their homes. How neat that people love Siamese so much, that some very special people make it their mission to rescue needy Meezers and find them new homes. Siri Zwemke and her husband Darrel founded the Siamese Cat Rescue Center in Virginia . According to the website, this Center has to date rescued more than 5700 cats. The Siamese Cat Rescue Center site links other Siamese rescue organizations around the country, to help rescue, rehab and rehome needy cats. You may even have an affiliated group in your neck of the woods. It's not just Siamese lovers that provide rescue services. Virtually every cat breed you can imagine has a support system of rescue services, to ensure pedigreed cats get help. In fact, if you've a yen for a particular cat breed, you may find the kitty of your heart in a rescue. The Cat Fanciers Association, a registry of pedigree cats, also offers a list of these resources at http://fanciers.com/rescue.html
