1/31/10- Donations are urgently needed for the Mend Little Missy Fund. Little Missy, an 8 year-old Persian brought over last week from Omak, WA. Missy was victim to a house fire one month ago. She is a strong-willed little girl and acts happy to be alive every day with a great attitude and an excess of affection. Her burns are healing and getting better day by day, but unfortunately her dental situation is another story. Missy suffers from an abscessed tooth and severe dental disease and needs full-mouth dental extractions ASAP. Clearly, time is of the essence in treating Missy's mouth and getting her on the path to a pain-free recovery. She is otherwise healthy, and blood and urine testing concludes that she is healthy to undergo the anesthetic procedure. Now we need your help!
Any monetary donations, large or small, are HUGELY appreciated and will help expedite Missy's treatment. Donations can be made to our Paypal account mpbaskett@gmail.com, or via check to Troopurrs Purebred Rescue & Rehoming (please email or call for mailing address.) We thank you in advance for considering helping this poor little girl.
UPDATE: Thanks to your donations, Missy got her much-needed dental with full mouth extractions and will be going to her new permanent home this week with fellow Troopurrs cat Fred!

Who We Are:
Troopurrs Purebred Rescue & Rehoming is a private non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of abandoned, stray and owner-surrendered purebred cats. We are located in Kenmore, WA and work with cats and owners throughout the Northwest. The majority of our cats come from private owners who can no longer keep their cats or they are transferred into our care from local shelters. Troopurrs also assists owners in rehoming their cats in cases when they are able to keep them until a home is found. In special circumstances, Troopurrs occasionally works with non-purebred cats and kittens.
Troopurrs provides a relaxed shelter alternative with medical and behavioral care plans tailored to each kitty. While Troopurrs' long-term goal is to rescue and rehome as many cats as possible, the immediate focus is quality of care and quality of life for each cat individually.
Adopting a Friend
Adoption fees range from $60-$120. Fee will always include spay/neuter, FIV/FeLV viral testing, deworming, Revolution flea-treatment, microchipping, first vaccines, and starter bag of food. Interested in adopting 2 cats? We are happy to assist you in picking a purrfect pair of cats that get along with each other. Discounted adoption fees apply for pair adoptions.
We adopt only to homes where the cat will live exclusively indoors, no exceptions. We do not place cats or kittens into homes that practice de-clawing, due to the physical and behavioral complications that can occur from the amputation.
Adoption Requirements: You must be 18 years or older to apply for adoption. Renters must have written permission from landlords and be able to provide landlord's phone number. No second party adopters. If the cat will be a gift for someone, the recipient must first meet the cat PRIOR to adoption. If there are children living in your home, we typically require them to come along to meet the cat prior to adoption.
Troopurrs has an unconditional return policy for all adoptions (with 100% refund of adoption fee).
Adoption Process
If you see a kitty on our website that you are interested in, please follow these steps for adoption:
1.) Call us (425-359-1344) or email us (troopurrs@gmail.com) to let us know who you are interested in or what type of kitty you are in search of. Please tell us some brief information about your home environment (ie people and pets living in the home). This is a good time to ask any questions you may have regarding the cat you're interested in.
2.) We will email you an adoption application for you to fill out.
3.) After receiving the application back we will arrange a time for you to come meet the cat you are interested in. Meeting times are usually weekday evenings, or weekend afternoon/evenings.
4.) Please note that we are a small, private rescue and do not have a public walk-in location. For this reason, we need to receive your adoption application PRIOR to arranging a visit. This does not mean that you are in any way obligated to adopt the cat, but this process allows us to make sure it is an appropriate match before coming to visit.
Low Cost Spay/Neuter- "Fix Your Kitty!"
Spaying and neutering your animal is what YOU can do to help control the major overpopulation of cats. This will ultimately reduce the amount of animals that end up in shelters each year, as well as the amount that end up being euthanized because there simply is not enough space available. Spaying and neutering is good for your cat, good for you, and good for the community.
