Cat Adoption
Browse our Adoptable Cats page to meet the kitties looking for homes. Once you find a potential match, you can submit an adoption application. Our team will guide you through the next steps to help find the best fit for you and your new feline friend.
Some of our cats are available to meet at our adoption center inside PetSmart in Woodinville, WA, while others live in foster homes. Cats in foster care can be introduced through a virtual meeting or an arranged in-person visit.
Yes! All cats adopted through Purrfectly Paired Cat Rescue are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped before going to their forever homes.
Our adoption process typically includes an application, meeting your potential new kitty, a short at-home video chat, and final approval. Once approved, you’ll sign an adoption agreement and pay the adoption donation before picking up your cat at PetSmart Woodinville.

Absolutely! We consider your household, lifestyle, and the personalities of your current pets when helping you find the right kitty. Every cat has unique needs, and our goal is to create thoughtful, lasting matches.
A bonded pair is two cats who share a strong emotional connection and rely on each other for comfort, companionship, and security. Separating them can cause stress and anxiety, which is why we believe they should stay together. Adopting a bonded pair means giving two cats a loving home while keeping their special bond intact.
Learn more about the benefits of adopting a bonded pair on our Bonded Pairs page.
Fostering
Fostering means providing a temporary, loving home for a rescued cat while they wait for adoption. Foster families give cats a safe place to grow, recover, socialize, and show their true personalities. Learn about the food, toys, and support we provide.
We need foster homes for kittens, mother cats with litters, and adult cats. Some may need extra patience, socialization, or a quiet space to feel safe. We’ll work with you to find cats that fit your home and lifestyle.
You can start by completing our foster application through the Foster page. Our team will review your application and discuss potential foster opportunities with you.
Volunteering
There are many ways to volunteer with Purrfectly Paired Cat Rescue! Whether you enjoy working directly with cats or prefer helping behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you. For opportunities at the PetSmart adoption center, complete our Volunteer Application and tell us a little about your interests, skills, and availability.

Our volunteers help care for the cats at our Woodinville adoption center by providing daily love and enrichment, keeping their spaces clean and comfortable, and creating a welcoming environment for the kitties. But there are also ways to help behind the scenes! Have skills in social media, graphic design, website management, or something else you’d like to contribute? We’d love to hear from you! Explore our volunteer opportunities.
Purrfectly Paired Cat Rescue is based in Woodinville, Washington, serving Seattle’s Eastside and the Greater Seattle area. Our adoption center is located inside PetSmart Woodinville, and many of our cats stay with foster families until they’re adopted.

About Our Rescue
We rescue cats both locally in Washington and in Southern California. Cats rescued in California are transported to Washington, where they receive care through our foster network or adoption center while waiting for their forever homes.
No! While some of our cats stay at our adoption center inside PetSmart Woodinville, many live with foster families. Foster care allows cats to receive personalized attention in a home environment while our team learns more about their personalities and needs.
We believe finding the right home matters just as much as finding a home. By getting to know each cat’s unique personality and considering each adopter’s lifestyle, we work to create thoughtful, lasting matches between cats and their families.
