About Us
Our Purrpose
The Purrpose is organized exclusively as a nonprofit corporation for the purposes set forth in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code, including for such purposes, to provide resources, education, and support to reduce feline overpopulation through humane practices and improve the lives of feral and community cats in Nebraska.
What does this mean? Making a difference for cats is important. ALL cats. Whether it involves education, supporting TNR through other non-profits, sharing resources, helping cats is the goal. Today, our efforts are simple - engage the community. In the future, the dream is much bigger. The long term goal is a dedicated cat sanctuary for the "un" cats of our communities.

Saving Lives - A Colony at a Time
Truly making a difference requires that trapping includes altering an entire colony. Containment is KEY to managing overpopulation and the unnecessary deaths of kittens of feral or stray cats.
Humane Trapping
Expert trapping doesn't happen overnight. BUT, you don't have to be an expert to make a difference. With practice, engagement with like-minded community members, we can connect to use all of the resources available to us through our community partners.
Leveraging different trapping techniques to meet the need of the situation is critical. Using resources such as cameras, video, surveillance and other visual identification methods, we can learn their patterns. Some colonies and cats can be more difficult, but with purrsistence, we can bring a colony to containment.
