Started Purr Heaven from her living room — and still does the 6am feeds.
About Purr Heaven
A Cozy Place Where Every Cat Gets a Second Chance
Purr Heaven began with a spare room, three rescued kittens, and one stubborn belief: every cat deserves warmth, patience, and a place to call home.
Our Mission
Warm homes, never cages
We exist to give rescued cats the time and tenderness they need — then to match each one with a family for life.
Rescue with care
We take cats in from shelters, streets and surrenders — no judgement, no waiting list.
Heal, never rush
Every cat gets the medicine, space and patience they need before they're ready to meet anyone.
Match for life
We rehome thoughtfully, so each adoption is the last home a cat will ever need.
Our Rescue Journey
How a spare room became a sanctuary
What started as one person fostering kittens grew, year by year, into a cage-free café and adoption home for hundreds of cats.

What Makes Us Special
Adoptions and coffee, with a conscience
A cage-free lounge
Cats roam, nap and play freely — no bars, no stress, just a real home to relax in.
Coffee that gives back
Every café visit helps fund food, medicine and warm beds for cats still waiting.
Support that doesn't stop
A free first vet check and lifetime guidance come with every single adoption.
