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!
*** CHANGES TO ADOPTATHON HOURS (effective December 4, 2021): Starting this iweekend, our volunteers will be at all three PetSmarts on Saturdays AND 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 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!

We wanted to share with you what's happening with one of Purr Partners kittens with FIP.
Shaboom is Purr Partners latest FIP kitten.
Since being pulled from the shelter with a bad eye and terribly congested upper respiratory tract the congestion has never cleared with treatment. After getting his first FVRCP he nosedived with vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite and he lost an entire POUND. Then in the last few days his belly ballooned up with almost a pound of fluid.
After 8 hrs in emergency and an ultrasound, he was diagnosed with FIP (which could have been his problem all along). Thankfully his foster sought help quickly and the FIP was caught early.
If you have been following our posts you read that FIP used to be a death sentence but now there is effective treatment. All the kittens that Purr Partners has treated are now cured and are living happy lives in their forever homes.
Here are some photos of Shaboom's progress.
🐾The first two show his belly swollen with fluid on Thanksgiving Day.
🐾The carrier was on his way to the emergency vet the day after thanksgiving.
🐾The two inside his pyramid bed are the night after the ER, exhausted.
🐾 The next one is his little shaved belly (from the ultrasound) in a heated bed to help keep him warm.
🐾 The final picture is just 24 hours later. He had almost a pound of fluid taken off his belly, and they had to leave almost as much to not upset his electrolyte balance. Then with only one injection in him, his body reabsorbed the remaining fluid.
🐾 He’s doing great now, but we have 81 days of treatment left. Hopefully only 11 more days of injections, if he continues to improve, at which point we can complete the treatment with 70 days of pills instead of injections.
🐾 All this is very expensive but Shaboom is worth it.
