About Pete

Pete is in our Camp Purr working cat program, ideal for semi-feral cats who thrive in outdoor environments. This ginger tabby will need a caring adopter prepared to provide shelter, food, and water year-round. Since Pete is used to his fellow Camp Purr companions, he'll need to be adopted with at least one other Camp Purr cat. Each cat in this program is spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. At a modest adoption fee of $25, Pete is ready to start his new adventure. We recommend scheduling an appointment, so our Camp Purr team can assist you properly. If you’re looking to offer a home full of love and outdoor exploration, Pete may be the one for you! Click apply to start the adoption process.
