Our kittens come from our nonprofit rescue partner, PuppyKittyNYCity. Most are rescued directly from the streets of NYC, often in urgent or critical condition. Others may come from neglect situations, owner surrenders, or overcrowded environments.

Purlates classes are ages 7+. Kitten Lounge sessions are ages 4+. All minors must attend with a parent or legal guardian, and each guest, including children, must have their own ticket..

If you connect with a cat, after a visit, you can fill out an adoption application sent directly to your email. Our rescue partner completes a screening process to ensure the best fit for you and the animal. You won’t take a cat home that day, but the rescue responds in a timely manner and works to complete successful matches quickly.

Fostering means temporarily opening your home to an animal until they find their forever family. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months, and it’s one of the most impactful ways to help a rescue save more lives.

Definitely not! Simply showing up helps kittens build confidence and trust around people, especially those with limited or negative past human interaction. More socialization means a better chance of adoption, and a portion of every ticket supports our rescue partner. 💗🐾

Our flagship studio is in NYC. We may host pop-ups in other cities from time to time! The best way to hear about upcoming locations is through our newsletter or Instagram.

Never have, never will. Purlates exists to support rescue animals and encourage people to adopt, not shop. Breeding contributes to overpopulation and neglect, leaving more animals in shelters or on the streets and increasing the risk of euthanasia.

Mostly! Kittens tend to be less territorial and more comfortable around other cats, groups of people, and activity. If our rescue has a social adult cat who is comfortable in the environment, they’re always welcome to join a class too! 💗

Kittens generally need to be adopted in bonded pairs. This is standard with most rescues and important for their development. Two kittens are often actually easier than one because they play together, keep each other entertained, burn off energy, and provide each other with companionship. In some cases, the rescue may approve a single kitten if you already have a young cat under 5 years old at home.

Veterinary care is typically covered, and the rescue can provide basic supplies when needed. Any supplies or support fosters are able to contribute themselves are always greatly appreciated.

Adoption fees are $200 for one cat and $350 for a pair.
