Cat and Kitten Adoption in Central NC
Our cats and kittens are rescued from high-kill rural shelters in North Carolina. 2021 marks 12 years of saving lives – and we won’t stop until they all have a home!
Come see us at PetSmart!
*** COVID POLICY (Updated 8/7/2021): All Purr Partners volunteers will be masked while in PetSmart, and if a pre-approved adopter enters the actual Adoption Center to meet with a cat, they must be masked as well. Thank you for your co-operation! ***
*** CHANGES TO ADOPTATHON HOURS (effective July 5, 2021): This summer we are trying different Adoptathon hours to see if other times are more convenient for visitors. Our volunteers will be at all three PetSmarts on Saturdays from 10am-Noon, and on Sundays from 1-3pm. Our current hours will always be noted here and on our Facebook page. ***
Cat and kittens will be in the PetSmart Adoption Centers Wednesday through Sunday in the inside units. But during adoptathon hours on Saturday and Sunday, we may have more cats on the retail floor and our volunteers will be available to answer any questions and do meet-and-greets for preapproved adopters.
Watch our Facebook page every week to see which cats will be at each location so that you can plan your visits accordingly. We are located at Wake Forest PetSmart, North Raleigh Six Forks PetSmart, and Raleigh Capital Crossings PetSmart.
If you are thinking about adopting, we encourage you to go ahead and read our adoption policies and then complete the adoption application at www.purrpartners.org/adopt. It does not commit you to an adoption, but if you are pre-approved and fall in love with a kitty then you will be able to meet and adopt them right away!
Follow us on Facebook to view all of our cats and kittens!
Cat rescue can be difficult and very sad at times, but THIS picture is what rescue is about, and it makes it all worth it for us!

JUST WHAT IS A TABBY CAT?
🐈 A tabby cat is a cat that has agouti hairs. An agouti hair is composed of several bands of colors: a dark one with the base color of the cat, alternately with lighter and more reddish ones.
🐈 When a cat has a tabby pattern, the dark markings are made of solid hairs of the base color while the fur in between the markings is composed of agouti hairs.Tabby cats usually look clearer than their equivalent solid color because of the agouti hairs. That’s why in many cat fancies black tabbies are called brown tabbies, but they shouldn’t be confused with the chocolate genetic color. Cats called “brown tabby” are genetically black tabby
🐈 Some characteristics of tabby cats are:
🐾 ‘M’ shaped marking on the forehead
🐾 Thin pencil lines on the face
🐾 Dark ‘eyeliner’, and pale fur around it
🐾 Pigmented lips and paws
🐾 The nose is pinkish and outlined with darker pigment
🐾 Torso, leg and tail banding
🐾 The chin and the belly are often white or a paler color than the rest of the body.
🐈 Not all tabbies have these characteristics. Some ticked tabbies don't have leg or tail banding.
🐈 There are 4 main patterns of tabbies that we'll discuss in future posts.
Here are a few of the tabbies available for adoption from Purr Partners.
