My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🌟 Meet Sweet Holly: Hoping to Be Home for the Holidays 🌟
Looking for a home with NO other cats. Fully vetted — a perfect little holiday miracle waiting for her person!!!

Sweet Holly has already known more heartbreak than any cat should. But despite it all, she remains incredibly loving, gentle, and trusting with humans — a true testament to her beautiful spirit.

Holly was found after renters moved out of a house and left her behind, alone and confused. The property owner would stop by and leave a bag of food for her, but Holly had no real comfort, no safety, and no one to call her own. Thankfully, one of our wonderful monthly donors — someone who has stood by our rescue through thick and thin — rushed to save her and got her to a vet, where Holly received a clean bill of health and a new chance at life.

For a little while, Holly found a peaceful home with a loving neighbor who had no other animals, and she truly blossomed. But when that person had to move into a nursing home, Holly’s world shifted again, and she returned to her rescuer’s care this spring.

🧡 Holly’s Personality
Holly is incredibly affectionate with people — she lights up when someone enters the room, leans into petting, and clearly craves companionship. Because she is deaf, it’s believed she may have been attacked by another cat earlier in life, leaving her fearful and uncomfortable around other cats. She absolutely wants to be an only pet so she can relax, feel safe, and receive the love she deserves.
She currently lives sequestered for her own comfort, and although her caregiver visits her daily, Holly is clearly lonely and longing for her very own person — someone who has time to sit with her, spoil her, and remind her that she will never be abandoned again.

🎄 A Holiday Wish
We would love to see Holly in her forever home in time for the holidays. She would make the most heartwarming Christmas or winter companion, curled up on the couch, keeping you company while you wrap gifts or watch holiday movies.

Holly’s Perfect Home
🏡 Indoor-only, cat-free home
💗 Someone who enjoys a snuggly, interactive companion
📚 A calm environment where she can feel safe
👂 A family willing to understand and respect her deafness (she learns routines beautifully!)
📌 Adoption Details
Holly is:
✔️ Given a clean bill of health and estimated to be 6-7 years old.
✔️ Litter-trained
✔️ Friendly, affectionate, and people-loving
✔️ Ready to go home asap!!

If you’ve been thinking of opening your heart this holiday season, please consider giving Holly the gift of a lifetime: a safe, loving, forever home. She has waited long enough.

Additional adoption info

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.
