We are a purely nonprofit, volunteer 501c3 organization and all donations go directly to help rescue at-risk purebreds - administrative costs are covered by the cat registries who support us. Every cat we rescue is spayed and neutered before placement.

Though our legal name is now Purebred Cat Breed Rescue, we were originally incorporated in Minnesota under the name of CFA Purebred Rescue, Inc., reflecting our early roots in the CFA Purebred Rescue Committee in 1999. Our philosophy reflects the teachings and ethics of Anna Sadler who was Chairperson of that Committee. Our rescue has been granted charitable 501(c)3 status by the IRS, so all donations are tax deductible.

Our activities include working with shelters to arrange rescue of at-risk cats, arranging for and often funding initial and emergency vetting, working with animal control agencies to rescue cats who are at imminent risk of seizure from hoarder and cruelty/neglect situations, and providing and/or coordinating transportation of at-risk cats to safety. We do not take owner relinquishments except in exceptional cases or unless working with animal control authorities.

As well as providing a safety net for those purebred cats in shelters all over the country, we often actively work with animal control to take purebred cats at imminent risk of seizure, when the owners consent,  from hoarders and other situations of neglect and/or cruelty (and in such cases, we arrange for the vetting and transport to rescue of the non-purebred domestics that may be involved.)
