This is a series of diaries highlighting animal rescues around the country and noting and celebrating the work they do to help animals who have no voices but ours to speak for them. I have decided to make this a daily series because there are so many wonderful rescues out there who need human help and weekly just doesn't seem to be enough. I have long wanted to start a rescue but lack the resources or time available to do so right now so this is my attempt to do my part. I hope that these rescues will benefit from the kindness and benevolence of the community here at Daily Kos. I chose this rescue, Purrfect Companions, because they are a local rescue doing great work rescuing cats and we all know how I feel about cats! ;) They are a small, local group and need all the help we can give them. They are an amazing organization and worthy of Kossack attention and care.

About Us
Purrfect Companions, Inc. is a New York State Not-For-Profit Corporation, tax exempt Corporation with (501(c)(3) tax exempt status, staffed and operated by individuals with many years of experience caring for rescued cats and kittens.
The Purrfect Companions mission is:
To provide quality, nurturing foster care to stray, injured, homeless and abused cats and kittens in a healthful and supportive environment until their health is restored and they can be adopted into a permanent home
To provide information to the public regarding animal health, behavior and welfare matters
To spay and neuter, to reduce the number of unwanted companion animals who are needlessly abandoned and euthanized
All cats and kittens offered for adoption by Purrfect Companions are spayed/neutered, tested for FeLV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and have been given age appropriate vaccinations. A written veterinary service and vaccination record, including deworming and flea treatment information is provided for each cat, together with a short biographical sketch and description of personality, food preferences, habits and other relevant information.
Purrfect Companions exists through voluntary donations, fundraising activities and the collection of modest adoption fees.
July 2014 Purrfect Kitty - Tiberius
Tiberius is an orange and white male kitty, about 3 years old. He's been a pretty shy scaredy cat until recently as he was rescued from a home that had too many kitties and he didn’t get much attention. Tiberius has been coming around to like all the attention the volunteers have been paying to him. They said he has really softened up! Now Tiberius looks forward to getting petted and interacting with people. He even kneads with his feet in anticipation! Tiberius isn't a lap kitty yet, but we’re working on it! He's looking for a home with a nice person who will continue to help him blossom as the kitty he is meant to be! Tiberius does get along with other kitties but he could also be an only pet. Please consider adopting a sweet, male kitty to help make your house a home!
As with all Purrfect Companion kitties, Tiberius is up-to-date on routine shots, house trained and neutered.
Our May Purrkitty found her forever home but there are other Purrfect Kitties of the Month still looking for one!
Purrkids who need a forever home
Please note that although this page is updated weekly to daily, sometimes the kittens and cats you are viewing here are already adopted. We may also have other kitties who do not have a picture up here yet so please e-mail us at kitties.purrfectcompanions@yahoo.com to get in touch.
Purrfect Companions has a number of kittens, all neutered, vaccinated, tested and ready to go home. Because kittens tend to be adopted quickly, we don't always get their pictures onto our website.
