Our Mission

Our mission is to use our specialized knowledge of cat breeds to provide an appropriate foster alternative for homeless purebred cats and kittens whose special requirements are difficult to meet in a shelter environment, in addition to helping as many special needs domestic cats as our resources allow.

Our Team

Our group is composed of wonderful foster volunteers who generously open their homes and hearts to abandoned and abused purebred cats as well as special needs domestics. We have between 25 and 30 foster homes active at any time and can accommodate over 100 cats. We are supported by: Leaders who manage the rescue; Transporters who get cats to us; Hosts who temporarily house cats waiting to get in; and Fans whose love, donations and appreciation keep us going. Everyone works hard to care for and find forever homes for our feline fosters. We exist because of the compassion and love of volunteers, donors and adopters. SPCR is a completely volunteer run organization.

About Us

Specialty Purebred Cat Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 1999. We specialize in finding quality homes for abandoned/surrendered purebred cats. We are the largest rescue organization of its kind in the Midwest and we are well known and respected throughout the animal shelter community.

Our group is composed of wonderful foster volunteers who generously open their homes and hearts to abandoned and abused purebred cats. Our volunteers work hard to find homes for these felines. We are capable of fostering over 100 cats at one time, spread among the group. However, we always have a considerable waiting list of cats that need to come into our limited foster space. Cats are kept in homes in their own rooms and are given the best of care.

Foster homes are located in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, eastern Iowa, and southern Michigan. Cats are seen by appointment only after an adoption application has been submitted and approved.
