Báiyún

Graceful, elegant, and undeniably beautiful, Báiyún is a very special girl looking for a home to call her own.

With her stunning lilac bicolour coat and gorgeous Persian features, Báiyún is sure to turn heads. Persian type cats are rarely available for adoption through our shelter, making this a wonderful opportunity for someone hoping to welcome this much loved breed into their family.

Báiyún came into our care after her owner moved overseas. During her time in foster care, she enjoyed a mix of playful moments and peaceful naps, she likes chasing string toys, watching birds from the window, and relaxing. She enjoys a calm home and likes to build trust at her own pace.

Báiyún has a mild form of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), a common condition in flat-faced breeds such as Persians. This may cause snoring, noisier breathing, or reduced tolerance for vigorous exercise, but her condition is mild and has not required surgery.

Her foster carer shared:
"Báiyún takes time to come out her shell but when she does she is a lovely cat. She is obsessed with bum pats and will come up to you, turn around, and demand them! She loves watching birds and Cat TV on YouTube, enjoys relaxing on the sofa nearby, and likes things on her terms. She prefers a quiet home and, while she's not a lap cat yet, I believe this will change with time."

As our cats cannot be placed on hold, we encourage you to come and meet Báiyún at our North Melbourne shelter as soon as possible. This rare beauty won't be waiting long for her forever home.
