Featured Organization
At Purrfect Pals our highest priority is taking in the cats and kittens who need us most… those who other shelters and rescue groups might not have the resources to help. This includes senior cats (though we prefer to call them “vintage”), cats with major medical needs, cats with chronic illnesses (including FIV and Feline Leukemia) and those with behavioral challenges.
Our cat adoption and rehabilitation programs help us place homeless cats, including those with special needs, in loving homes. We believe that every cat is adoptable; some just need more time than others to find the right match. Our ultimate goal is to place them with adopters but some might need a skilled foster family in the meantime. We also have room at our main campus sanctuary where they can stay close to our staff for daily care. Purrfect Pals’ cats will always have a home with us for as long as they need it. The Purrfect Pals Sanctuary is currently home to 100+ of these special cats.
We truly believe that every cat, with or without special needs, matters and is deserving of a forever home. After all, people aren’t perfect. How can we expect our cats to be?

#WhyNotMePets is focused on giving hope to the homeless cats and dogs who have been in the shelters the longest—Those who have been lost in the crowd, and could use an extra helping hand at being seen to a wider audience of potential adopters.
When all the other animals quickly leave the shelters, these are the cats and dogs left behind, asking themselves, “Why not me?”

Two years. 💔
Lily and Daisy have now spent more than two years waiting for a family of their own. This sweet mother-daughter duo shares an unbreakable bond—you`ll often find Daisy grooming Lily, cuddling close, or keeping her company as they snooze on a cozy heated bed.
Both girls have arthritis and need daily pain medication. Daisy loves curling up in a lap, and Lily`s joyful post-medication zoomies are guaranteed to make you smile.
They`re looking for a quiet, loving home where they can stay together and enjoy the comfort they`ve always given each other. Could you be the one to make sure they never spend another anniversary in a shelter?
Adoptable at Purrfect Pals Cat Sanctuary and Adoption Center

💙 💙 Double the love. Double the courage. 💙 💙
Meet Taj & Yukon, two extraordinary brothers who happen to be blind—but they don`t let that stop them from living life or loving each other. Their bond is unbreakable, and they navigate the world side by side with resilience, trust, and heart.
These special boys are looking for a quiet, predictable home where they can stay together. They have unique care needs, but in return they`ll show you just how powerful love, perseverance, and companionship can be.
Could you be the one to give these long-term homeless brothers the happy ending they`ve been waiting for?

🌈 Pearl showed off her purrride for Pride Weekend, but now she`s ready for something even better—a forever home. ❤️
Like any queen, Pearl knows what she wants—and she`s earned it. She`d love a peaceful home where she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves and enjoy Hallmark movies from a sunny perch.
Pearl is being showcased in Pawsitive Alliance`s #WhyNotMePets campaign. She is on a prescription renal diet and takes medication to keep her arthritis comfortable, but she`s otherwise doing well and ready to spend her golden years with someone special.
Could you be the one to give this beautiful vintage girl the happy ending she`s been waiting for? Pearl is adoptable through Purrfect Pals. Submit an application to meet Pearl today! 🐾💕

🐾 #WhyNotMePets Spotlight: Meet Jr. Painkiller 🩶🤍
Jr. Painkiller has been waiting patiently for someone to see the gentle, loving companion she truly is. At 4 years old, this sweet grey-and-white girl is the definition of a quiet cuddle buddy.
She may be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, she’ll happily curl up in your lap, make biscuits nonstop, and soak up all the head rubs you can give. Jr. Painkiller loves peaceful days spent birdwatching from the window and softly “chatting” at them.
If your purrfect evening includes a cozy blanket, a calm companion, and endless purrs, Jr. Painkiller might just be your match. 🐱✨
Please share to help this deserving girl finally find the loving home she’s been waiting for. 💙

Meet Ebony! This week`s #WhyNotMepets highlight!
Ebony arrived at Greyhound Pets, Inc. last January and is waiting for that special someone to fall in love with.
Ebony is so many things: friendly, upbeat, playful, affectionate, intelligent, responsive and eager to learn and engage with people.
Let`s help this girl find her forever family!
A professional trainer said that if she could adopt, she would choose Ebony for her combination of brains and personality.

-- #WhyNotMepets highlight: Jonathan --
He’s done the waiting. Now he just needs someone to choose him.
👉 If you can’t adopt, please share. His person might be one post away.
Help this sweet boy find a forever home at last.
Jonathan is an active eight year old Greyhound Lurcher mix. He loves his walks with the volunteers at Greyhound Pets, Inc. and he is a good walker. He also loves to run in the dog park with the volunteers, he`s a fun and playful guy. He also does well encountering other dogs on the trail as long as he and the other dog are leashed and he feels secure.
He’d do best as your one-and-only, where he can finally feel safe, settled, and fully loved.
#adoptme #greyhoundsrock #ThriveWAPets @greyhoundpetsinc
What a great day to play ball! Let`s go!
Jonathan wants to play, play, play!
Greyhound Pets, Inc. is a great place to learn better skills and have some fun but there`s no place like a home of your own. Jonathan has been waiting for a while now to meet his forever people and enjoy his own yard and pile of toys.
Help us find this boy his forever home.
