VIRTUAL ADOPTIONS

A Virtual Adoption cat would make a great Christmas gift for yourself or a cat-loving friend or family member! They are usually older cats that have little hope of finding a Forever Home. Many were just passed over for adoption as kittens and others are feral or have a disability such as one eye. For only $120 you can help us continue to give these adult cats a safe home and medical care for life. You can learn how to virtually adopt and also meet all the candidates by going to our website at https://purrproject.com/adopt/ or write us at adopt@purrproject.com.

PURR PROJECT 2026 CALENDAR

But remember that our calendar has 12 months + a cover so you can send some of your best shots from this past summer, fall or last spring! The more original and fun the image, the better chances you have!

Penguino found his Forever Home at PetCo!

Sadly, we only had 3 adoptions in November with the PetCo Adoption Center closed for two weekends. We have SO many kittens that would love to go “Home For The Holidays”! December could be the purr-fect month for you to choose your new furry companion. We will bring adoptable, vaccinated and sterilized felines to PetCo every Saturday and Sunday this month so please consider giving one of them a Forever Home.

GRACIAS! THANKS! MERCI! DANKE! ARIGATO!
