    Where your support goes

    Small things, happy little purrs.

    The idea is simple: help support the everyday care a shelter cat needs while they wait for a family.

    • MealsA full bowl, day after day.
    • A vet checkupCare to stay healthy and ready for home.
    • A new toySomething to chase, bat and pounce on.
    • Brush & playClean, fluffy and ready for cuddles.

    What each cat receives depends on what they need most.

    Good to know

    Questions, answered.

    Is this a donation or a subscription?

    Neither. It’s a one-time product purchase with shelter support included. It isn’t a charitable donation or a tax-deductible gift.

    Can I adopt my match?

    You can apply through the shelter’s own adoption process, and the shelter decides. Buying the necklace never reserves a cat or gives priority.

    Who will Purrdopted partner with?

    We’re preparing to work with cat shelters and rescues. Confirmed partner details will be shared before launch.

    Our story · Every cat counts

    An estimated 277,000 cats were euthanized in U.S. shelters and rescues in 2025.

    Source: Shelter Animals Count · 2025 Annual Data Report

    Every one of them was more than a number.

    By PurrdoptedOctober 7, 20265 min read

    The ordinary comfort we hope more cats will know. AI-generated illustration.

    A number that large can be difficult to feel. So picture one cat. The twitch of an ear. A paw resting on a blanket. A face you would recognize anywhere once you knew it.

    That is where Purrdopted begins: with the belief that a cat’s life deserves our attention long before there is a happy ending to share. We want the cat waiting for a home to matter as much as the cat who has already found one.

    The national picture

    A year in numbers.
    Millions of individual lives.

    3M
    cats entered U.S. shelters and rescues in 2025
    2.2M
    cats were adopted during the same year
    ~759
    cats euthanized per day, averaged across 2025

    National estimates: Shelter Animals Count. Daily average calculated as 277,000 ÷ 365, rounded; not a measured daily count.

    There is hope in these numbers, too.

    Every adoption represents a new beginning. The scale of that work deserves recognition. So does the loss that remains.

    The ASPCA describes shelters facing pressure from limited capacity, staffing and veterinary shortages, and animals needing more intensive care. Helping cats means supporting the people and organizations doing that work every day. [2]

    Where cat journeys led in 2025Selected U.S. shelter and rescue outcomes · estimated counts
    Adopted
    2,200,000
    Transferred to another organization
    376,000
    Returned to owner or field
    362,000
    Euthanized
    277,000

    Source: ASPCA, using Shelter Animals Count data. Bars share one scale. Return-to-field is not adoption; a transfer is not a final placement.

    How to read these numbers

    These are selected annual outcome estimates, not a complete breakdown of the 3 million community intakes. Animals may enter in one year and leave in another; transfers connect organizations and can precede a later outcome. The bars should not be added together as a count of unique cats. The euthanasia total does not establish the reason for each decision or include every non-live outcome.

    Look a little closer

    A first impression
    is only a beginning.

    A cat who retreats when someone approaches may be frightened in an unfamiliar place. That moment alone cannot tell us how comfortable they are with people.

    The ASPCA’s Feline Spectrum Assessment was developed to help shelters make that distinction. It can involve up to four sessions over three days, giving staff more than a single snapshot to work with. [3]

    For us, that is a reason to stay curious. Ask the people who know the cat. Learn their habits. Give their story room to unfold.

    Before the happy ending

    The days in between deserve care.

    Food. Rest. A place to retreat. The chance to feel safe. These are the everyday moments we want people to notice when they think about a cat’s journey.

    Research offers a useful example. In a randomized study of 23 adult cats at one Dutch shelter, cats given hiding boxes reached a lower, stable behavioral stress score seven days earlier than the comparison group. The study found no improvement in adoption rates or length of stay. It shows a benefit to well-being, with clear limits to what one small study can tell us. [4]

    Why Purrdopted

    Keep one cat
    close to your heart.

    A name. A face. A little more of their story each time you return. That is the connection we want to build.

    Our vision pairs a pawprint necklace with a cat’s profile and care updates, so the interest you feel today has somewhere to go tomorrow. A small keepsake can be a reminder to keep paying attention.

    Explore the Purrdopted idea

    We are preparing to launch. Rescue partnerships and the exact support provided by each purchase will be confirmed before launch.

    A place to start today

    Your next step can be close to home.

    Ask a local shelter what would help most. The ASPCA encourages adoption, fostering and volunteering to support shelters and the animals in their care. [2]

    1. Meet a cat.

      If adoption fits your life, talk with shelter staff about a cat’s needs, personality and the home you can offer.

    2. Make room.

      Ask about fostering: the time involved, supplies provided, and support available while a cat stays with you.

    3. Show up.

      Offer your time. Ask which volunteer roles or requested supplies would be useful to the team caring for cats near you.

    Start with one cat.
    Let their story stay with you.
