Meet Sonny!
Sonny recently showed up at an outdoor colony that one of our volunteers cares for, unneutered and completely out of his element. He clearly appeared to be a house cat who had suddenly found himself outside and had no idea how to fend for himself. Sadly, nobody in the neighborhood recognized him or knew anything about him so it’s suspected he was dumped or abandoned.
Despite his rough experience, Sonny remains incredibly affectionate with people. He absolutely lights up when given attention and just wants to be loved. He’s a little nervous around other cats (understandably so), but with a slow, proper introduction, he could happily share his home with a feline friend or two.. He would also be fine as an only cat!
Sonny is truly a special guy with so much love to give. He deserves a forever home where he can feel safe, adored, and never worry about being left behind again.
Sonny is estimated to be about 2 years old. He is fully vetted (spayed/neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, combo tested negative and microchipped) and his adoption fee is $125. Please consider giving Sonny the happy ending he’s been waiting for and/or share his story with your friends!

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.
