About Purrlot

Purrlot, whose name is a play on Merlot but with a purr, landed at the shelter in January 2023 because her former people had cat allergies. She was adopted once but later returned due to issues with inappropriate urination, even though this was already known. Don't expect a shy cat—Purrlot usually comes to greet people first and really thrives on attention. Lap time is her favorite, and she'll happily soak up all the affection you have to give. Her urination concerns might seem daunting, but there are things you can do at home that just don't work in the shelter: dietary tweaks, medication, and attractants for the litter box have each helped cats like Purrlot before. She deserves a chance at a real home, where she’ll likely be happier than she could ever be within shelter walls. Click apply to start the adoption process.
