Research shows a cat's purr can heal bones and promote tissue repair:

Cats may purr when snuggled in your lap, but the soothing rumble isn’t just a signal of happiness.

Research suggests that the vibration is produced by muscles within the larynx, which dilate and constrict the glottis as the cat breathes. This results in a sound with frequencies ranging from 20Hz to 150Hz — known to correspond with therapeutic healing frequencies for bones and tissues in humans. Studies find that bones respond to the pressure of a cat's purr by hardening.

In fact, cats often purr in stressful situations, during recovery, or even when facing death, hinting that the purr may function as a form of self-soothing or physical rejuvenation.

Behavioral experts, such as Marjan Debevere and Gary Weitzman, highlight the varied meanings behind a purr. Cats might purr to express nervousness, communicate with other cats, or simply as a way to encourage humans to feed them.

As researchers continue to study feline communication, one thing is clear: the purr is more than just a simple expression — it’s a biological marvel that deepens our understanding of the bond between cats and their humans.

Cats are mysterious, lovable creatures with a long history of myths and misunderstandings surrounding them. While cats are one of the most popular pets worldwide, misconceptions persist about who they are, how they behave, and what they need to thrive. At Garlic City Kitty Rescue, we’re here to cl...

At Garlic City Kitty Rescue in Gilroy, CA, we've noticed an alarming trend over the past few years: kitten "season" seems to be stretching longer and longer, with no end in sight. Traditionally, kitten season occurs in the warmer months when cats reproduce most frequently, but with milder winters an...

On my way to pick up this bottle baby! I want to thank Andrea Bertero for her willingness to take it under her wing.

If you are reading this and you know how to bottlefeed, please reach out to me or Garlic City Kitty Rescue so we can have some experienced people in place the next time we need a bottle feeder.

I want to also thank Dominique Sierra for thevdonation of Tiki Cat Food and toys. I will gladly accept the food your cat won’t eat and am very grateful for all donations. I feed a lot of cats each week including colony cats, which numbers close to 50. It gets very expensive. Everything makes a difference in the lives of cats. Thank you to my cat loving friends, supporters and community.

3 YEARS AGO TODAY, we became the only nonprofit cat rescue in Gilroy. Please help me continue to rescue cats and kittens by contributing whatever amount you are able so they can have a better life in a loving home instead of suffering on the street. Over the past 2 weeks, I have rescued 9 kittens, mostly singles, and I will be accepting one more tomorrow.
I'm raising money for Garlic City Kitty Rescue and your contribution will make an impact, Whether you donate $5 or $500, every little bit helps! Thank you for your past support and I'm counting on you today to contribute whatever amount you can so that I can continue this important work. I've included information about Garlic City Kitty Rescue below.

The main purpose of our organization is to end cat and kitten suffering and overpopulation through rescue, fostering, adoption, and educating the public on preventative spay and neutering and TNR (trap, neuter, and return). We would like to open a sanctuary where senior cats and cats with special needs who are difficult to adopt out, can live out their life. We would also like to open a brick-and-mortar building where the public can visit 7 days a week to adopt a cat or kitten to add to their family.
So far, we have rescued and found loving homes for 110 cats and kittens. We have TNR'd over 100 and we continue to do so every week. We have helped many community members who have reached out for help and we continue to work hard to save cats and kittens from a terrible life on the streets.

You may also contribute by volunteering or buying food or supplies from our Amazon Wish List or Chewy. You can send a check to: PO Box 2184, Gilroy, CA 95021 or donate via Zelle: [email protected] or Venmo. You may also donate through out website using Paypal or apple pay or google at www.garliccitykittyrescue.org/donate.

THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL SUPPORT YOU HAVE SHOWN TO HELP US RESCUE AND SAVE CATS.

Living with a cat for even the shortest amount of time quickly reveals they have meticulous grooming habits. That frequent grooming is not rooted in vanity; it’s crucial for health and survival. This fastidious grooming can also lead to a common issue known as hairballs, technically referred to as...
