Saving Southern Adelaide's Street Cats

Welcome to Hisses to Purrs, a volunteer-run registered charity based in the southern suburbs. Our mission is simple: to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome unowned street cats and kittens within a 25-minute radius of Morphett Vale.

Our Promise to the Streets

Because our foster homes and resources are so limited, our hearts and hands are dedicated only to unowned street cats and kittens in our local 25-minute radius. As a small not-for-profit, we receive no government funding and rely completely on the kindness of our community to do this lifesaving work.

​

To ensure we always have a safe, warm bed for a stray in desperate need, we only take in street cats and cannot accept surrendered pets or offer rehoming services. If you are looking for help rehoming a beloved owned cat, please visit our Resources page for a list of wonderful local organisations that can support you.

A Small Team with Big Hearts

Five years ago, Hisses to Purrs formed after a local couple was introduced to rescue and couldn't turn their backs on the street cats of the south. Now a growing team of passionate locals, we work tirelessly to turn frightened hisses into happy purrs.

How You Can Help

Adopt a
Rescue Cat

Our foster cats learn to trust in our loving foster homes. Adopting doesn't just give them the safe, indoor life they deserve - it also creates space to be able to rescue more. All of our cats and kittens are health checked, desexed, vaccinated and microchipped by our partner vets

We do not have a public shelter. Every cat and kitten is saved by our local volunteers and fostered in private homes. If you live in the southern suburbs and are interested in volunteering, click below to find out more.
