Specialty Purebred CAT Rescue
Specialty Purebred Cat Rescue (SPCR) is a foster-based rescue for purebred cats located in the Midwest.
Our mission is to provide the best match between cats and their adoptive families and to place as many purebred cats as possible into loving homes.
Specialty Purebred Cat Rescue was founded in 1999 to help find homes for abandoned/surrendered purebred cats! We are the largest rescue organization of its kind in the Midwest and we are well known and respected throughout the animal shelter community.
Our group is composed of wonderful foster volunteers who generously open their homes and hearts to abandoned and abused purebred cats. Our volunteers work hard to find homes for these felines. We are capable of fostering as many as 40 cats at one time, spread among the group. However, we always have a considerable waiting list of cats that need to come into our very limited foster space. Cats are kept in homes in their own rooms and are given the best of care.
Foster homes are located in northern Illinois, Chicago, Peoria, Kenosha, Racine, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison, Oshkosh and northern Indiana. Cats are seen by appointment only after an adoption application has been filed and approved.

Sasha is a high energy BENGAL. She is spayed and has her claws. She is four years old, but acts like she is much younger. Sasha wants to play then snuggle. She needs someone that wants to play with her. She’s amazing at catching toys & climbing. After the energy is out she will sit next to you and purr. She will take up all your attention so additional cats are not needed. Sasha has a big personality but also is big on love. Sasha has a loud meow and let’s you know when she wants something. As a Bengal, she can own any part of the house from the counter to the air vents and took an air vent apart in her foster home. Sasha is ok with dogs and would prefer to be the only cat. A Bengal-experienced owner is preferred.

MOJO…is a handsome LYNX POINT SIAMESE. He is around 3 years old, neutered and has his claws. He is a solid 10 pounds and has a gorgeous easy coat and bright blue eyes. We dont know anything about Mojo’s past but he wound up as a stray in a local shelter and is now looking for a home thru SPCR. Mojo starts off very shy in new situations but once he is comfortable is intensely affectionate. He enjoys sitting on laps and getting attention and will make someone a loving companion. He is moderately active, not talkative and likes to be where ever his people are. He would be ok with another cat or a mellow cat friendly dog when slowly introduced. Small kids would not be appropriate.

💞WINNIE is a 3 year old SEAL POINT MITTED RAGDOLL. She is spayed, has all her claws, up to date on all vaccines and is Felv/FIV negative. Winnie has a dark brown mask with a white spot on her chin, and super soft silky fur that she takes very good care of. She has white mitten feet on all four paws and beautiful deep blue eyes
💞FELISHA is a 4 year old SNOWSHOE RAGDOLL who is also spayed, has her claws, is Felv/FIV negative and up to date on all her vaccines. Felisha has pretty blue eyes, beautiful markings on her face and a lovely white bib. Her fur is longer and she does a great job at grooming, but will require some help with combing so it does not become matted.
Winnie and Felisha came from a home where they were incredibly loved. Unfortunately 2 of the household members developed severe allergies and they needed to be rehomed.
Winnie is a delightful and friendly girl who loves attention, loves to play and enjoys making biscuits. She will do this while sitting next to you or on your lap. She is quick to jump up nest to her foster mom for some cuddle time. Winnie likes to nap at the top of a tall cat tree and soaking up some sun from the window.
Felisha is a sweet and friendly girl who greets her foster mom whenever she comes into the room. She loves to receive attention and rub against your legs. She also enjoys tall cat trees and bird watching out a sunny window. Both girls can be chatty, but Felisha always has a little more to say.
Their ideal home would be one where they are together. They have been together forever, get along and enjoy each others company. Both girls would make excellent family cats and would do fine in a home with respectful kids. They have lived with a calm, cat friendly dog and should do fine in a home, with a cat friendly dog, as long as slow and proper introductions are done. With a slow and proper introduction both cats would most likely do well with another cat friendly cat that would not bully them.
Both girls are excellent with their litter box and scratching posts. These girls are the full package, loving, friendly, sweet, loyal and ready to be your best friend.

BRAXTON is a 1 year old WHITE TURKISH ANGORA MIX. He is neutered, FIV and FeLV negative, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. He has all of his claws and is being fostered in Kalamazoo, MI.
This handsome boy came to the rescue after finding himself in a shelter through no fault of his own.
Braxton is a very sweet boy that loves to be friends with everyone that he meets. He was said to get along with cats with proper introductions in his first home. Though, we believe he may be happiest being the only cat in the home. He would likely do fine with very mellow dogs as well. There were several kids in his last home and while he was well behaved with them, the little ones running around a lot screaming and playing made him a little nervous. So older kids in the home would be fine for this boy.
If you would like to welcome this boy into your home, you will be rewarded with a life long friend!

Mr. Pickles is a wonderful five-year-old CREAM AND WHITE BICOLOR PERSIAN. He is a small buddy at 6.5 pounds, is neutered and has his claws. Mr. Pickles came from a family who could no longer care for him.
What can we say about this gorgeous boy? He’s as sweet as he is beautiful. He has captivating amber eyes, a sweet pink nose and a most gorgeous cream and white coat— more resembling a Twinkie than a pickle. But no matter; we love his name. This boy gets along well with people and other cats. He’s currently rooming with another Persian. We think Mr. Pickles would love older respectful kids who would play with him and shower him with attention. A dog who would ignore him would likely be fine.
Although one of the pictures shows Mr. Pickles in a full coat, he was matted on the belly and britches when he arrived in rescue and is now growing out of a lion cut. (Check out his video to see him in his cute new do; the room he’s staying in is currently getting new flooring.) When Pick was in full coat, his foster family tried to comb him, and he wasn’t really keen on the idea. He will either need to be taught grooming manners at home or need to be professionally groomed a few times a year to stay looking and feeling his best. It is most important that his family be committed to mat-free living. Mr. Pickles has eye drainage typical of his breed and is good about daily face cleaning.
This boy would be a great fit in most any household. He’s sweet, gentle and extrordinarily lovable. Mr. Pickles is very food motivated and loves his canned food. He’s asking for a home that will provide it for him. Don’t wait because this boy will go quickly.

DAWSON is an 8 month old TABBY AND WHITE DOMESTIC SHORTHAIR. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV and FeLV negative, and microchipped. He has all of his claws and is being fostered in Kalamazoo, MI.
Dawson was surrendered to the rescue with his brother Dylan through absolutely no fault of their own. Dawson is a massive kitten weighing in at over 12 pounds (he could probably afford to lose a bit of that weight!)
If you are looking for the perfect kitty, look no further! Dawson (and/or his brother Dylan) is the cat for you! This boy is the definition of perfect. He is the total package, just an absolute sweetheart. He loves everyone and everything.
Dawson gets along wonderfully with other cats. We would love to see him adopted with his brother Dylan or to a home that already has a young cat. He would do fine with dogs with proper introductions. He would be wonderful with kids, though we think a home with older kids may be best to ensure that no doors to the outside get left open that Dawson could potentially slip out of.
This sweet boy has perfect litter box manners. He is great at using his scratching posts. He loves to perch on cat towers in front of sunny windows and loves to play with toys. He loves to play with other kitties too.
If you are looking for a lap cat, this is your boy. He will sit in your lap all day long, he is just a total love bug. Make sure to get your applications in quick for this sweet boy! He deserves a home for the holidays coming up!

If you are looking for the perfect kitty, look no further! Dylan (and/or his brother Dawson) is the cat for you! This boy is the definition of perfect. He is the total package, just an absolute sweetheart. He loves everyone and everything. His foster mom says if she could keep another cat, these boys would be her pick, they are that wonderful.

Brynna is a very pretty 4 month old TABBY SHORTHAIR DOMESTIC, who has large saucer shaped dark gold eyes and weighs 4 lbs. She is spayed, up to date with distemper and rabies vaccines, tested felv/fiv negative, microchipped and has her claws.
At first she is leary of strangers and new situations, but boy, once you get past that, she is all about loving. She follows you around to see what you’re up to and maybe help, and begs for pets, ear stritches and as soon as you sit, she is in for the long haul to take a nap. She likes being picked up so she can get cuddles and kisses.
Being a typical kitten, she’s all about playing, wrestling, and running with other kittens. She also likes to play with fussy toys, laser pointers, pet activity center, crinkly tunnels, cardboard boxes, packing paper, chasing thrown ping pong balls across the basement floor, and hanging out in cat trees. She sleeps in our bed all night and cuddles up close so she can get her morning pets when we wake up.
Young children would be too much for her, and she will need to be adopted with another kitten, or there will need to be a younger cat/kitten already in the home, She is in fostercare with Byron and Leyna, and gets along well with both, if you need a 2nd kitten.

WORCESTERSHIRE is an adorable 3 month old male LYNX POINT SIAMESE. He is neutered, has his claws, is up to date on his shots, dewormed, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and microchipped.
This little man is the absolute sweetest! He loves to be around his people and he instantly starts purring when he’s getting some loving. He is your typical Siamese, active, playful and friendly. He is great with other cats. He is good with kids, but would probably be too wild for young kids. He has had minimal exposure to dogs, but he should be fine with a friendly, respectful dog after a slow introduction.
Worcestershire would do best in a home with another young kitty to keep her busy, or better yet, with one of his siblings. He does well with using her litter box. This lovely man will make a wonderful new addition!

Gracie is a CHOCOLATE POINT MITTED BIRMAN. She is 6 years old, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and has all her claws.
Leo is a LYNX POINT MITTED BIRMAN. He is 6 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and has all his claws.
Gracie and Leo have had a rough year. The person who raised them had health troubles and could no longer watch after these siblings. They were taken in by a very kind family friend who then contacted SPCR. We would like to see these two go to their new home together.
Leo is a big, sweet boy. With a proper introduction he gets along with cats, dogs, and even kids. He is immediately friendly. Leo loves pouncing on bugs and playing with string toys. He may not be a young kitten anymore, but this floof sure moves like one when playing! At night he snuggles up close and will even share a pillow.
Gracie is more reserved than her brother, but she’s just as sweet. She takes a little longer than Leo to adjust and is more prone to stress. Once she is comfortable she loves snuggles and snoozing on her foster mom’s lap. Gracie is very playful too. Her foster mom thinks she would really enjoy puzzle toys or learning simple tricks.
These siblings both have long, thick fur. Leo does a great job of maintaining his own coat, and also gets a lot of help from Gracie. Gracie spends less time on her own coat, but she also loves being brushed. She’d be happy spending all day on your lap being brushed!
With a proper introduction Leo gets along great with cats, dogs, and kids. Gracie gets a long with respectful dogs and kids, but she does not get along with all cats. If there are other cats in the house, a very slow introduction will be needed.
