Thinking of bringing home a cat in Pakistan? Here's everything you need to know about finding your new best friend — the right way.
🏠 Adopt (our #1 recommendation)
Thousands of cats need homes. Check local shelters and rescue groups — many post adoptable cats in Facebook groups like "Cat Adoption Pakistan", with active communities in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Adoption is affordable, ethical, and you'll often get a vaccinated, litter-trained cat.
🛒 Pet markets
Pakistan's cities have well-known pet markets — Lalukhet Sunday Bazaar (Karachi) and Tollinton Market (Lahore) are the most famous. You'll find many breeds here, but inspect health carefully and avoid sick or very young kittens.
💻 Online
OLX and dedicated Facebook groups list kittens and cats across Pakistan. Always meet in person, check the cat's health, and never pay in full before seeing it.
🐱 Breeders
For specific breeds (Persian, Siamese, British Shorthair), reputable breeders exist — do your research, ask for vaccination records, and visit the cattery in person.
✅ What to check before bringing one home
- Clear eyes, clean ears, no sneezing or diarrhoea
- - Vaccinated and dewormed (ask for records)
- - At least 8–10 weeks old
- - Comfortable being handled
💰 Typical cost
Adopted or local cats: free to about Rs 5,000. Pedigree breeds: Rs 15,000–Rs 60,000+.
Once your cat is home, they'll need the essentials — a cozy bed, food and water bowls, a litter box, a scratching post and a few toys. Purrfetti has you covered with premium cat essentials, Cash on Delivery and free delivery all across Pakistan. 🐾
