There's a pretty active Persian Yahoo group that might be of help. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Persian_Rescue/
Also, do you know if both the Snap Elissa test (in office) AND the IFA (Blood test sent out) were done. Make sure the IFA is done as you really need to confirm the Snap test results.

Two weeks ago we took in an owner-surrender cat who tested positive yesterday for FeLV. We had him retested this evening at another facility and that test also came back positive. Unfortunately we do not have any fosters who can accommodate an FeLV-positive cat out of concern for our own and other foster animals. I am trying desperately to find alternate placement for Oscar locally, but am not having a lot of success. Oscar is a purebred odd-eyed white Persian cat. He is about three years old and is asymptomatic. He was purchased from a breeder as a kitten and was kept as an indoor-only cat in a household with no other cats. Does anyone here know of any resources or organizations that may be able to take Oscar in? We are willing to transport Oscar (within reason). He has been neutered and will be fully vaccinated prior to placement. I would absolutely hate for this friendly, gorgeous cat to be euthanized simply because alternate placement cannot be found.
