Pet sitting and dog walking in Cedar Ridge area.
Some cats are ready for a home. Some belong to the neighborhood. Some just need someone to look out for them. Our work covers all of them, and there’s a place for you in it, whether you’re looking to adopt, learn about TNR, support a colony, or join the team.

Every cat here has a story, and the best chapters are still unwritten. Browse our adoptable cats below, and if one of them catches your eye (or your heart), fill out an application. We’ll help you find the perfect match for your home.

Compassion doesn’t stop at the front door. Our TNR program (Trap-Neuter-Return) humanely stabilizes outdoor cat colonies by preventing the litters that would otherwise be born into hardship. It’s quiet, unglamorous work, and it changes everything for the cats who never make it into a shelter.

Behind every cat colony is someone who shows up, rain or shine, with a bag of food and a lot of heart. Our Community Cat Program is here for them. Whether you need food, shelters, help with trapping and spay/neuter, or just someone who understands, we’ll do what we can to make caring for your colony a little easier. You’re not doing this alone.

There’s a place for you here, whatever you have to give. Open your home to a foster cat for a few weeks. Learn to trap and help us spay and neuter community cats. Join a colony care group and make sure the neighborhood cats never miss a meal. You don’t need experience, just a soft spot for cats and a little time. Tell us what interests you and we’ll find your fit.
Jacqueline Hollada-Speier is the founder of Purr & Purpose Feline Foundation. Before she was hand-feeding kittens at 2 a.m., she spent her career in healthcare operations and research administration, with roles at Kaiser Permanente, UCLA, and Johns Hopkins, and holds a Master of Science in Public Health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. It turns out running a rescue isn’t so different from running a clinic: it takes systems, follow-through, and a refusal to let anyone fall through the cracks.
She started Purr & Purpose after recognizing that her skillset and love for cats was a perfect combination for the development of a well-rounded, community-focused, compassionate rescue. What began as helping a few cats in her own neighborhood has grown into fostering, adoptions, TNR, and support for the people caring for community cats across the San Fernando Valley. She lives in the Valley with her family, a few dogs, and more cats than she’ll admit to on the internet. Compassion without compromise isn’t just the foundation’s tagline; it’s how she approaches every cat that comes through the door.
