This handsome old man Dr. Dinosaur turns 16 this month! Help him find a home for his birthday! He is great with all people and cats! He takes his thyroid pills like a champ and is healthy otherwise!

*We had originally bonded him with Professor but after watching them settle in the past month, they do not need to be adopted together. While Professor definitely needs a buddy, Dr. Dino would be happy with or without other cats.

He is fee sponsored also so he is free to an approved adopter! We highly recommend an adopter with experience with senior cats so his health can be monitored as he ages.

Meet him today and apply at https://www.mtpurrnoncatcafe.com/marlees-misfits!

OLLIE STILL NEEDS A HOME! While he made lots of friends here, he is still looking for an adopter that doesn’t mind his snotty nose and high-energy playtime. He just needs to find the right person.

He has been through so much after being found sick and injured in Kuwait. He can’t close his mouth and he does get snotty a lot, but it’s not his fault. And he is good with occasional baths and face cleaning! He does require more work than the average cat but he will thank you will lots of love and snuggles.

He is in a foster but really misses having some cat buddies. Please reach out if you have some playful cats that need a buddy and you are willing to give him a little extra TLC.

IVY HAS BEEN WAITING SO LONG! She is almost our longest resident!
She is turning 3 years old soon and we would love for her to have a home asap.
She is sweet and loves head pets.
She will hang out with you and go play by herself when she wants.
She is fine with other calm cats that give her space.
She is great at the vet, in the carrier, and in the car.
She will tell you when she wants to be left alone so better in a home without young kids.
That’s it. She isn’t aggressive, she has no bad habits, and she is healthy! She just doesn’t throw herself at strangers so she has been overlooked again and again. Please consider this beautiful girl!

Kelly Rowland was born to be famous. That’s what she yells at us every morning. She also insists on love and will stay standing on your shoulder as long as you let her. She is ok with other cats and has lots of love, even with her diva attitude.

We are closing at 6 for a private event so make sure you make a reservation to meet this queen.

Meet some Misfits! These two senior lads came to us from BARCS after their owner moved and couldn’t take them. They are available for adoption through Marlee’s Misfits (mtpurrnoncatcafe.com/marleesmisfits)!

Dr Dinosaur is a 16 yr old super friendly boy that loves to be held and pet. He is hyperthyroid but he is easily handled to take his meds. He does not act his age at all!

Professor is a big scaredy ginger boy who is 9 years old. He is healthy and sweet, just a little confused about why he lost his home. Dr.Dino acts like his big brother so they must be adopted together.

These boys deserve a great retirement home and they are so sweet. They are fine with other cats and older kids too! Come meet these sweet angels today!

Criss Angel is another legend. This 8 year old boy doesn’t have any teeth but he eats dry food fine, although sometimes he forgets he has churu on his face.

He loves love, cuddles, following you around, and demanding attention. He gets along with everyone. Come see this majestic toofless panther before he gets scooped up!

Considering people get away with animal abuse is disgusting. We just got a cat that was seized from a hotel room where he was living with five dead cats: he was the only survivor. The guy got a misdemeanor ticket and was released!

When we started in 2020, I thought we may not make it a year. I thought if we found homes for the original 15, it would be a success story. Somehow, now it is 4.5 years later and we have adopted out 1000 cats!
We can’t thank our adopters enough for giving these bebes a second chance. We have seen a lot of heartbreak and heard sad stories, but seeing them go home makes everything worth it.

Thank you everyone who has come in, donated, sent supplies, bought a t-shirt, or just sent a kind word. We wouldn’t be here without you.

Congrats to Tigger on finding his forever home today and Andrea for being the closet guess! We will message you about your prize.

There are always more cats to save so get on board for the next 1000!

Are you coming to see us?
We are booked most of the day today but still room tomorrow and Monday! Snow totals are looking low so we will most likely be open 12-6 both days!
Lots of adoptions and new kids! Come meet them!
