Rescues & ORF

Sadly there situations where Oriental cats are found in rescue. These situations can range from an owner's death with no provisions for the cats, to a new baby with allergies, or sadly the family no longer has time for their kitty. As responsible breeders, the members of OSA help find new loving homes for these cats.

Sometimes financial assistance is needed to provide veterinary care or transportation of rescued cats. As such, the club created a fund, called the "Oriental Rescue Fund" (ORF). Monies for this fund are generated by special raffles at our shows and by donations from our generous club members.

Any club member assisting in rescuing an Oriental cat may receive funds (with Board approval). Please contact a club officer for more information.

Donations are gladly accepted, by sending a check to (US funds please):   
        Oriental Shorthairs of America, Inc.
        " Oriental Rescue Fund "   
        P.O. Box 821
        Princeton Junction, NJ 08550

I AM YOUR CAT

DO NOT THINK OF ME AS AN OBJECT TO BRING YOU FAME IN THE SHOW RING,
MY MOST PRIZED TROPHY IS A GENTLE TOUCH FROM YOU.  DO NOT EXPECT
FROM ME A NEW FAMILY OF BABIES EVERY FOUR MONTHS. I LOVE MY LITTLE
ONES AND WANT THEM WITH ME SO I MAY TEACH THEM AND PLAY WITH THEM FOR MANY MONTHS AS A GOOD MOTHER SHOULD. DO NOT KEEP ME CONFINED IN A CAGE, I AM A FREE SPIRIT, LET ME LIVE WITH YOU IN YOUR HOME!

DO NOT THINK OF ME AS UNKNOWING, UNCARING OR AN INDEPENDENT BEING, FOR I NEED YOU. ACCEPT ME AS I AM, CARE FOR ME AND BE MY FRIEND, AND I WILL GIVE TO YOU IN RETURN:

A SOFT TOUCH OF MY PAW ON YOUR CHEEK WHEN YOU ARE TROUBLED.  A COMPANION WHEN YOU ARE LONELY, A CLOWN WHEN YOU ARE DEPRESSED. A TRUSTING LOVING PURRING BEING, CONTENT TO SHARE YOUR HAPPINESS AND YOUR SORROW. LET ME BE WITH YOU IN OUR SMALL PART OF THIS WORLD, FOR HE HAS CREATED YOU AND ME.

DO NOT THINK OF ME AS A SIMPLE CREATURE, FOR I CAN SEE ANGELS YOU CANNOT SEE. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS AND WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSE YOU CANNOT FEEL. I CAN COMMUNICATE WITH YOU, IF YOU WILL LEARN MY LANGUAGE. I UNDERSTAND YOURS. AND WHEN THE TIME COMES AND I WILL HAVE TO LEAVE YOU, REMEMBER I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU, FOR OUR SPIRITS ARE ONE.

LOVE ME!  CHERISH ME! CARE FOR ME!  I AM YOUR CAT!
