My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

​Peter came to us as an 8 month old cat - he and his siblings born from an unplanned litter of kittens, not taken care of, and then he probably got bit by a feline housemate and developed a large abscess in his axillary area. His abscess was treated and he was neutered and started on vaccines. He is now about a year old.

He healed quickly from his abscess. He is very allergic to fleas, so that a flea or two in the household, leaves him chewing himself. And, he doesn't like other cats - he tolerates cats that ignore him with confidence, but cats that act intimidated, he tends to bully. After a few months of struggling in an environment that didn't really suit him, he is in a foster home on his own - as the only cat - and is doing very well. With good flea control and no other animals to share fleas with him - and with no stressful altercations with other cats - his hair is regrowing and he is happy and comfortable.

He takes a little time to settle in to a new home, but is very affectionate once acclimated. He loves attention, loves extra snacks and tlc, and cuddles with his foster mother in bed every night.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a shelter - cats are in private foster homes. So, we try to see if we have a potential match or matches, then usually set up a meeting at the veterinary hospital where many of us work.

More about this rescue

Purrfect Pals is made up of a small number of caring volunteers. Most of the cats and kittens taken in are strays or orphans brought in to a local veterinary hospital for help and from there taken in to try to secure them a lasting and loved future.
