Purrfect Pals is dedicated to ending cat homelessness in the Puget Sound region through active, compassionate placement and prevention programs. We believe every cat matters and deserves a second chance at a loving, forever home.
Founded in 1988 by Kathy Centala, our organization began with a simple yet groundbreaking goal: to replace euthanasia with care for unwanted cats. Over the decades, we have grown into a dedicated team that provides a sanctuary for cats who have been overlooked by others, ensuring they receive the love and medical support they need to thrive.
We operate a sanctuary in Arlington and manage a robust network of offsite adoption centers, including partnerships with retailers like PetSmart. Our approach combines a specialized sanctuary for senior, chronically ill, and behavioral-needs cats with a foster-care network that provides temporary, home-based rehabilitation for those waiting to find their perfect match.
We believe every cat is adoptable, though some simply need more time and the right environment to bloom. Our adoption process is designed to be a thoughtful, supportive experience where our counselors work closely with you to understand your lifestyle and personality. By taking the time to make the right connection, we ensure that every adoption is the beginning of a successful, lifelong friendship.
Whether you are looking to bring home a new companion, volunteer your time, or support our mission, we invite you to be part of our story.
