Partners

We are so grateful for our veterinary partners who provide exceptional care to the cats in our rescue. During a time of high burnout, short staffing and increased demand for care, we are even more grateful for their dedication and compassion.

HART is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill, cat-only shelter and adoption center in Cumberland, Maine. They are mostly staffed by a committed group of volunteers who are dedicated to the well-being of the shelter residents. They have a singular commitment to providing superior medical care for the felines at their facility and a proven track record of finding excellent adoptive homes, even for kitties who might be considered harder to place. Purrfect Match has been privileged to enjoy a relationship with HART since 2015.

TLCR is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based cat rescue in Rhode Island. They are committed to saving homeless, abused and abandoned cats by providing veterinary care, rehabilitation services and then placing them into loving adoptive homes. Along with their immediate mission to rescue cats, TLCR is dedicated to educating communities about cat overpopulation and inspiring change.

After knowing Melissa, founder/director for many years in her capacity with another New England rescue, we were ecstatic when she decided to fill a need she recognized in her home state of RI–rescue for forgotten felines–and founded a rescue to do so. She and TLCR are dedicated to helping this underserved segment of the feline population: seniors, the physically and emotionally scarred, the behaviorally challenged, and those who need critical medical care. After operating for several years, TLCR completed the certification necessary to import cats from other states and Purrfect Match has been honored to transport kitties to them since 2021.

Purrfect Match is an institutional member of this advocacy and educational association. The AAWA provides guidance on best practices across the animal welfare spectrum as well as educational webinars and other continuing education in regard to financial management and fundraising. Our membership helps insure Purrfect Match is doing all it can to care for animals in the proper environment, efficiently, kindly, as well as protect and advance their health and well-being.

Purrfect Match is proud to be part of the Doris Day Animal Foundation family! Their generous grants have helped us maintain our physical facility, MeowHouse, and funding for veterinary services to cats and kittens needing major surgeries and orthopedic care. 

Purrfect Match is blessed to have a strong partnership with The JEM Project. Based in Southern California, JEM has provided multiple grants that help cover the veterinary care we give each rescued feline. Veterinary care is our largest operating expense.

In 2024 we were fortunate to make a connection with the hard-working cat adoption coordinator at Mitchell Animal Hospital in Kingston, NH. In the six months we’ve been partnered with Mitchell so far, 76 Purrfect Match cats have been placed with loving families!

Dr. Tracy Gullett and her staff in Memphis, Tennessee, take great pride in treating people and pets with friendly, courteous and compassionate care. We are so grateful for our veterinary partners who provide exceptional care to the cats in our rescue. During a time of high burnout, short staffing and increased demand for care, we are even more grateful for their dedication and compassion.
