Sterling is a former stray, turned couch potato. He loves sitting next to his humans on the couch, watching tv, and making biscuits. He is a gorgeous orange and white kitty who also has a playful side. When he's not napping, he likes to play with the bird wand and to chase around buncy balls. He is an excellent hunter!
Sterling enjoys head kisses and chin scratches and will thank you with loud purrs. He even lets his foster mom hold him like a baby and give him kisses! However, he can be overstimulated at times and he does not like his back touched and will let you know with a "love bite. Due to this he would do best in a home without children.
Sterling also has a calm and quiet side, he doesn't meow when he's left alone, and he can entertain himself with toys and bird window watching. He will greet you with loud purrs and head bumps when you come back!
While he is curious about other cats and is slowly getting used to them, he doesn't know his limits and can play too roughly. He can also be territorial and would do best as an only cat, or with an experienced cat owner.
Sterling has been in foster care for over a year and he truly deserves a forever home!

At PURR, our adoption process is built with one goal in mind: finding the perfect match for both our cats and their adoptive families. We take great pride in how carefully we screen our adopters, because every cat in our care deserves a safe, loving, and stable home where they can thrive.
Our team reviews applications thoroughly, contacts references, and gets to know each potential adopter so we can understand their home, lifestyle, and expectations. We don’t just “approve and move on” — we work closely with every adopter throughout the entire process. From initial inquiries to meet-and-greets and follow-up conversations, we guide families every step of the way to ensure the fit feels right on both sides.
We believe that thoughtful, responsible placements are the key to lifelong success. When you adopt through PURR, you’re not just bringing home a cat — you’re joining a community that truly cares about your experience and your new family member’s happiness.
If you’re ready to open your heart and home, we’re here to help you find your perfect match.
