    • About Hisses to Purrs

      Hisses to Purrs was started in 2021 by a woman and her mother who, through their love of cats, became involved in various cat rescues from 2019. After a while, they noticed a gap in cat rescue in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. While many rescues combine rescuing street cats with surrendered or abandoned cats and kittens, none (that they could tell) solely focused on street cats and cat colonies. With ever-increasing kittens born on the street each year, Hisses to Purrs was born to do their little part to combat the growing population of street cats in the southern area. Instead of following in most other rescues' footsteps, Hisses to Purrs strictly focuses on street cats and cat colonies. While we are only taking kittens and their mothers at this stage, we hope to take adult and junior cats in the future as we sign on more foster carers.

She loves playing with her foster sibling so would be great with a kitty friend.

      It is Hisses to Purrs' mission to save as many street cats in the southern suburbs as possible. We only focus on street cats and cat colonies rather than take in surrenders and rehoming pets for people as we believe this is done by multiple other rescues and results in the stray cat population...
