🐾 Emotional Support Persian Cat Adoption Application

🐾 Emotional Support Persian Cat Adoption Application

By The SpecDrüm and PurrEmotion
This application is intended as a means to match the right cat or kitten with the right home. The more detail you provide, the better.

An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal that provides comfort, stability, and companionship to individuals experiencing emotional, mental health, or developmental challenges. Unlike service animals, ESAs do not need specialized training—their primary role is to offer unconditional love, reduce feelings of loneliness, and create a sense of safety and calm.

We do not charge an adoption fee, but gracioulsy request a donation within your means, to offset the cost of veterinary and foster care, to help us continue to help more kittens and cats.

🌸 How ESAs Can Help
- Reduce stress and anxiety through soothing presence, touch, and routine.
- Improve mood by offering companionship that lessens feelings of isolation.
- Provide comfort in daily life by encouraging structure, responsibility, and nurturing.
- Strengthen coping skills during times of grief, trauma, or major life changes.

🌟 Examples of Support for Disabled Children & Adults
- Autistic child: An ESA kitten can help ease meltdowns by offering calming sensory input (soft fur, rhythmic purring) and companionship when social interactions are difficult.
- Child with ADHD: Caring for an ESA helps build daily routines, improve focus, and provide non-judgmental companionship that supports emotional regulation.
- Adult with PTSD or anxiety: A Persian cat’s steady presence can reduce panic symptoms, offer grounding through touch, and bring a sense of safety in stressful moments.
- Elderly person with dementia: An ESA provides comfort, reduces agitation, and offers gentle companionship that can spark joy and decrease loneliness in care facilities.
-Child with PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance): An ESA Persian cat can provide a safe outlet for big emotions by offering comfort without placing social demands on the child. The child may find emotional regulation through firm or “squeezy” cuddling of their ESA, creating a healthy sense of control and hierarchy over the animal while still experiencing unconditional affection. This helps reduce overwhelm, restore calm, and support resilience in daily life.

🐾 Caring for a Persian Cat
Persian cats are a truly special breed, but they also come with unique care needs. Because of their long coats, sensitive digestion, and delicate health, Persians generally cost more to maintain than many other cats.

They require:

Premium, grain-free food to support healthy digestion and reduce the risk of allergies or stomach upset.
Regular grooming and coat care to prevent matting and keep their fur beautiful and comfortable.
Consistent veterinary care to monitor their overall health, especially eyes, breathing, and skin.

While the love and comfort they provide are priceless, it’s important to understand that Persians do best in homes prepared to invest in their ongoing care. This ensures they remain happy, healthy, and able to provide emotional support for many years.

PurrEmotion Mission

Easing the suffering of patients with mental disabilities, trauma survivors, and those who suffer from anxiety and/or depression by offering an overall better quality of life with the help of emotional support animals raised in our special needs household.

With the assistance of government programs, our goal is to donate every Persian kitten ESA to a patient or facility in need.

Meanwhile, in order to cover basic necessities, we will have to accept donations and care fees from patients and non-patients for current PurrEmotion Persian ESAs awaiting placement.

ABOUT YOUR NEW CAT
Kitten Selection Policy

Based on the information you share with us, we carefully select the kitten we believe will be the best match for your home and emotional needs. You will have the opportunity to confirm or decline the kitten offered; however, please understand that you may not receive a kitten from a given litter if you choose not to accept the one selected for you.

If you decline the selection, you will be placed back on the waitlist and offered another choice from either the same litter or a future litter, depending on the number of applicants waiting and the kittens available.

We reserve the right to make final placement decisions, as we have extensive experience understanding the unique personalities of our Persian kittens and strive to ensure the best possible match for both the animal and the adopter. While we will consider your preferred choice of kitten and color, these preferences cannot be guaranteed.

In rare emergency cases—such as unforeseen illness, sudden passing, or force-of-nature circumstances—a selected kitten may no longer be available even after initial placement. In this situation, applicants will either be offered another kitten (if available) or returned to the waitlist for priority consideration in a future litter.

Every one of our Persian cats is truly special and a gift to anyone in need—regardless of color—bringing love, comfort, and companionship to the right home.
