Purr Partners Feline Rescue
We are a 501c3, no-kill, all-volunteer group that is dedicated to saving the lives of cats and kittens in Central North Carolina. We pull from high kill shelters where cats and kittens usually have little chance of getting out.
The mission of Purr Partners is to help homeless felines find loving, permanent homes through adoption and placement. We believe that all cats have value and deserve a chance to live their lives in a safe and caring home. We further believe that it is only through education and advocacy that there will come a time when there are no more homeless cats and all individuals and communities will extend kindness and hope to all cats whether companion animals, strays, or ferals. We support the belief that cats have an intrinsic value beyond their value to humans, and we will be advocates for cats everywhere through whatever means we have available.
Purr Partners was incorporated in 2009 with two volunteers, 4 cats, and no budget. These two friends realized the need for a cat only rescue that worked with rural shelters where cats most often lost their lives if they entered the shelter. Most rescues worked primarily with dogs, but the cats seemed to be forgotten, and the suffering was heartbreaking. So, Purr Partners was founded to help shelter cats have a way out. The decision was made to concentrate on saving the lives of those most in jeopardy and with little hope of survival. High kill rural shelters became the focus for Purr Partners, and that is still true today. From those two original founders with no budget, the rescue has grown to over a hundred active volunteers and a budget of approximately $100,000. From the first four cats pulled from the shelter, Purr Partners now has between 100 and 150 cats and kittens in foster care at any given time. From approximately 150 pulls and adoptions that first year, we have increased to over 2500 shelter rescues and adoptions in 2016, and we are still growing!

πΉπΉHaidyn here to show you her 'box inspector' skills, it appears she has fallen asleep on the job. We are not surprised because it must be exhausting being so cute πΉ
πHaidyn is a 6 month old beautiful silver tabby.
πOne of her favorite places to catnap is in a box with crinkly paper as a sleeping mat! Haidyn is a playful kitten especially with her toy mouse with a tail feather!
πShe gets along great with other kitties and enjoys to be loved and petted.
πShe is fun and full of energy, she loves to get down and romp and wrestle with her siblings. She will make a great addition to any home, but she would especially like there to be another cat or kitten there for her to play and cuddle with.

Please let us introduce you to Haylen...
This sweet little girl is shy and reserved. But once she gets to know you, Haylen likes nothing better than to curl up on your lap and make biscuits. If you are looking for a cat who will sit on your lap and crave attention, you have found her in Haylen! She warms her foster dad's lap on conference calls and is our evening snuggler in her foster home.
π±
At one point, Haylen was obviously someone's kitten, but she was found abandoned near NC State University - scared and desperately seeking a human to take her in and love her.
π±
It may take a minute before Haylen is comfortable with other cats, but once she does, she loves to play and wrestle. She loves to hang out with her foster sister, Leela.
π±
Haylen can be easily startled by loud noises and sudden movements, so she would be a great fit for a calm and quiet household. Young children would not be recommended. Haylen has never been around dogs.
π
Check out this sweet girl on our website and don't forget to fill out an application to get pre-approved to meet this sweet girl.
