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.
