Our Featured Pet

TJ
TJ   The name's TJ, and I'm a BIG GUY.  Handsome, too!  I'm a laid-back boy with a warm, wonderful purr-sonality.  Good LAP CAT.  I've been known to have occasional bursts of playful energy!  I'm 8-10, which makes me about middle-aged.  My midlife crisis is that I'm homeless—and you can solve that for me!  I'll do best in a fairly calm, quiet home with no kids.  I'm ok with cats and dogs, and I'm great with people. I'm currently in a foster home, but I can come meet you at either the Aurora or Naperville PETSMART.
   All PURRS' cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested, wormed and microchipped.

About PURRS

PURRS Naperville is a no kill cat rescue, adoption and education resource.  We are based in Naperville, IL and have our cats in foster homes, Petcos and Petsmarts.  PURRS was founded by Rachael Resk, nationally known animal communicator and behaviorist.  Find out more about Rachael at her website http://www.rachaelresk.com

PURRS goal is a no kill DuPage county.

Towards that end, we are doing the following:

  1. Contacting and unifying the other local cat rescues and open admission shelters in DuPage county towards this common goal.
  2. Establishing consistent guidelines for adoption and euthanasia reporting and statistics.
  3. Publishing a guide to what efforts are already underway.
  4. Supporting Feral Fixers in their efforts towards developing legalized TNR in DuPage County.  PURRS also places Feral Fixers trapped friendly cats.
  5. Providing community and adopter education on feline behavior issues and resolutions and general humane education.
  6. Providing rehabilitation, socialization and rehoming assistance to stray and unwanted cats.

We DO take special needs cats and one of our favorites is our very own, Charlie. Charlie was born with two legs but gets around just fine and brings a smile to everyone he meets. Charlies joins us at many events. Come out and meet him.

We believe and know that animals have feelings wants and needs too and treat them accordingly. No cat is just a number with us.
