Featured Organization
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?”
That’s where you come in!
You can make a significant difference in the lives of these homeless cats and dogs who are eagerly waiting to find their forever homes. ADOPT TODAY! What better way to make a difference than by bringing them to YOUR forever home? Take a moment to explore the profiles below!
If one of these furry friends captures your heart, but there’s no room for a new friend at home, there’s still a simple way you can assist them on their journey. We deeply appreciate it when compassionate individuals like you share their photos and stories with friends and family, as it brings us one step closer to finding loving homes for these wonderful companions!

During July and August, Pawsitive Alliance shined a spotlight on these special adoptable cats from Purrfect Pals Cat Sanctuary & Adoption Centers through our #WhyNotMePets campaign. Each one deserves to be seen, loved, and given the chance to find their forever home. 💙🐾
💙 Taj & Yukon, 3: Visually impaired brothers who are incredibly resilient. They rely on their sensitive hearing to navigate the world and love gentle interaction. Despite some mobility challenges, they enjoy life to the fullest.
💚 Daisy & Lily: A sweet mother-daughter pair with gorgeous green eyes and unbelievably soft coats. They love pets, laps, wand toys, and zoomies. Daisy loves being held like a baby, while Lily’s arthritis medication can give her a hilarious case of the zoomies!
🐾 Buster, 13: A routine-loving professional snack inspector! He enjoys treats and positive attention and takes Methimazole for hyperthyroidism. He’d thrive as the only pet in an adult-only home that respects his boundaries.
⚽ Charles, 10: A handsome tabby senior who still loves to play—especially with a ball! He has kidney disease and needs a prescription diet and liver supplement. He gets along with friendly cats and would do best with adults or older, cat-savvy kids.

Thank you to her caretakers at Purrfect Pals Cat Sanctuary & Adoption Centers for giving Mitzy her second chance at happiness.

Four Cats. Two Unbreakable Bonds. 💕🐾
Meet Taj & Yukon and Daisy & Lily—two special pairs looking for forever homes together.
These extraordinary cats may need a little extra patience, accommodations, or medical care, but they have so much love to give in return. From cuddle bug Yukon to chair-stealing Daisy, each has a personality as special as their bond.
Could you be the one to give one of these precious pairs the loving home they deserve?

Meet Buster & Charles, the bachelor`s of Purrfect Pals!! 🐱🐱
Two distinguished senior gentlemen, two very different personalities—and both looking for loving homes for their golden years! ❤️ We are showcasing Buster and Charles in our #WhyNotMepets campaign; they are adoptable through Purrfect Pals Cat Sanctuary & Adoption Center.
🐾 Buster, 13: A professional snack inspector! Buster loves routine, treats, and paws-itive attention. He’s being treated for hyperthyroidism and takes Methimazole. He’d do best as the only pet in an adult-only home where his boundaries and predictable routine are respected.
⚽ Charles, 10: This handsome tabby may be a senior, but he’s still got game! Give him a ball and he’s ready to play! Charles has kidney disease and needs a prescription diet, plus a long-term liver supplement. He’s great with friendly cats and would do best with adults or older, cat-savvy kids.
Neither boy is bonded, so they’re not a package deal—they’re simply two wonderful senior cats hoping their next chapter starts soon.
Could one of them be your new best friend? 🏡❤️🐱🐱

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! 🐾💕

It may be #nationalrescuedogday, but adoptable Painkiller is demanding some attention today.
She will ease her future person their pains and ills with her sweet demeanor.
Meet Painkiller at Motley Zoo Animal Rescue!
#WhyNotMePets #ThriveWAPets #ForeverHome #rescuecat
🐾 #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. 💙
