Find Your Purrfect Match At Purrrfect Treasures' Adoption Days

Since its founding in December last year, Purrrfect Treasures has been dedicated to rescuing and rehoming surrendered, dumped, or abandoned cats and kittens in need of a loving family. In just a short time, the not-for-profit organisation has already made a significant impact, recently celebrating the adoption of 10 cats in a single adoption day.

Purrrfect Treasures hosts ‘Cat Haven’ adoption days every Saturday from 10am to 2pm at Petstock, providing potential adopters with the perfect opportunity to meet their future feline companions.

With cat dumpings on the rise over the past five years, rescues like Purrrfect Treasures play a crucial role in giving these animals a second chance. Through the dedication of carers and supporters, many cats and kittens find the safe, loving homes they deserve.

Karina Baulch, Secretary for Purrrfect Treasures, encourages potential adopters to look beyond a kitten’s appearance and focus on forming a meaningful connection.

"We encourage everyone to not just pick for looks, but for the connection that they have with the kitten."

To ensure each cat is ready for their forever home, they receive their first vaccination, are desexed, and microchipped before adoption. The adoption fee is $280, plus a microchip transfer fee, and while council registration is recommended, it is not required.

The organisation’s success relies heavily on community support, with donations and foster carers playing a vital role in saving more lives.

"The more donations and carers we have under our rescue, the more cats we can save."

Those eager to support Purrrfect Treasures can email ptcathaven@gmail.com, donate via the QR code, or contribute in-store at Petstock Mackay.
