About this shelter

The Purr Project, Inc. in North Haven, CT

The Purr Project, Inc. is an animal shelter located in North Haven, Connecticut, in New Haven County, about 6 miles southwest of New Haven, CT, alongside 27 other animal shelters and rescues in the county. The organization focuses on cat rescue, historically operating out of Central Hospital For Veterinary Medicine and partnering with a local PetCo location as "Purr Project South" to continue its work. The Purr Project generally does not accept feral cats into its program, though it has made exceptions, including for a feral cat named Street who was rescued from a colony in Hamden, Connecticut, treated for ringworm and an eye condition, and later adopted alongside his companion Gizmo. Beyond rescue and adoption, the organization has worked to help pet parents facing financial hardship, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, by providing food, litter, and emergency health care so families can keep their pets at home.
