Cat Resources in Rock Hill & Greater Charlotte
Local Rescue & Adoption
Important note – we cannot intake cats at the cafe.
We’re not a shelter or rescue, and we’re unable to accept stray, abandoned, or surrendered cats on-site.
That said, we care deeply about cat welfare and want to point you in the right direction.
If you’ve found a stray cat, need help re-homing a cat, are looking for cat care support, or want to learn about TNR for community cats, the resources below are a solid place to start.

Community Partner
We proudly partner with Lancaster SPCA, a trusted local organization dedicated to animal welfare, rescue, and education. They are a great first call for guidance, resources, and next steps when you’re not sure where to turn.
Found a Stray Cat?
If you’ve come across a cat outdoors, it’s important to determine whether the cat is truly stray, lost, or a community cat.
Start by checking for identification, scanning for a microchip at a local vet, and contacting local shelters or rescues that can guide you on next steps. Many cats that appear abandoned are actually indoor-outdoor pets.
Need to Rehome a Cat?
Re-homing can be emotional and stressful. Local rescues and humane organizations are best equipped to help evaluate options, screen adopters, and ensure a safe transition.
Avoid giving cats away through unvetted social media posts or online marketplaces whenever possible.
Community Cats and TNR
Trap-Neuter-Return, often called TNR, is the most humane and effective way to manage community cat populations. Local organizations can help with education, trapping guidance, and access to low-cost spay and neuter services.
If you’re caring for or concerned about a colony, support exists.
Cat Care Support
From behavior questions to basic health guidance, many local and regional organizations offer education and referrals to trusted veterinarians, trainers, and foster-based rescues.
If something feels urgent or medical, always contact a licensed veterinarian first.
If you need trusted cat boarding in Rock Hill, we offer feline-only boarding with private condos right at our cafe. And if you simply love cats and want to spend time with some, come visit us at Purrfect Pair, our cat lounge is open Tuesday through Sunday.
