About this shelter

The Purr Project, Inc in New Haven, CT

The Purr Project, Inc is an animal shelter located in New Haven, Connecticut, in New Haven County, about 1 mile southwest of downtown New Haven, where it is joined by 27 other animal shelters and rescues in the county. The organization focuses on cats, historically operating out of Central Hospital For Veterinary Medicine and partnering with local businesses such as PetCo for additional operating space. Its mission centers on keeping pets in their homes by helping pet parents facing financial hardship, providing food, litter, and emergency veterinary care rather than surrendering animals to shelters. The Purr Project also works with feral cat colonies and occasionally takes in exceptional cases, nursing sick or injured cats back to health and finding them loving adoptive homes.
