Purrfect Pals was founded in 1988 by a cat lover, Kathy Centala, who took a look around at her community and saw far too many unwanted cats and kittens whose only options were, in most cases, over-crowded shelters with high euthanasia rates.
With open colony rooms, catios, a veterinary clinic, and highly trained staff, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care to all cats- regardless of circumstance. Especially those who other shelters and rescue groups might not have the resources to help.
Besides our main shelter in Arlington, Purrfect Pals has developed a robust network of offsite adoption centers and special events. Housed in pet stores, our adoption centers are fully staffed by volunteers. Purrfect Pals currently has a team of 300+ active volunteers who help make our offsite adoption programs a success.
