I've spent the last 6 weeks touring roughly 30 rescues and shelters in the county, looking for cats. I didn't expect to find any business ( other than the occasional cat cafe ) that helped make them available. I was super impressed to see Purrgatory did. Although there was only one cat there when we arrived ( and she was spoken for ) we still had fun shopping. This will probably be my new "go to" spot when I need cat themed gifts. I did end up adopting elsewhere but that cat is really enjoying the egg yolk treats which seem to be an exclusive to Purrgatory. ( If sold elsewhere, I've sure never seen them. ) The cat loves these. I'll be back for more. read more

Purrgatory is an adorable cat-themed store in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego. The shop sells cat-themed gifts for your favorite four-legged or two-legged friend. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and you can even view cats available for adoption in small room in the back of the store as well as a catwalk (no pun intended) above the shoppers. I just happened to stumble upon this delightful shop after dinner and was charmed by its aesthetic. If you're a cat lover, or animal lover in general, check out Purrgatory. You won't be disappointed! read more

I drove by and totally thought of my aunt so I brought her here. She is a huge cat lover. She had the best time looking around at the great variety of cat and cat lover related things. Such cute stuff. She picked up a few handmade wool black cat trivets. She was very excited to hear they carry seasonal items and said she couldn't wait to come back for Halloween and Christmas. read more

Looking for a cat-themed heaven? You've found the right place. They have it all. The items here are extremely cute and perfect for cat lovers. They also have cats available for adoption that move back and forth from the front window to the back room via the cat crossing tunnel. The staff was very nice and helpful with all our cat questions. Parking is available on the streets. read more

Pretty cute store! I've seen it on instagram and happened to bump into it while wondering around North Park. Love the name! I've always wanted one of those cat clocks. There's a really cute finger cat puppet I really want. I'll probably buy it in the future. read more

MEOW (4 stars) I am a dog lover but have many friends who are cat lovers. For those people, this shop is for you. North Park is a fur.endly neighborhood and cats are welcomed too even though there are alot of strays in the alleys. FYI, don't bring your Jeni's Ice Cream inside. lol. I laughed when I saw the sign about no ice cream while holding my ice cream about to walk in because I think EVERYONE would do the same. What really drew me was the window that showcases cars to be adopted but there were no cats there and a sign on the wall posting how many cats were adopted! The shop is very small and it has a lot of nicknacks and cat themed stuff for cats and humans. Many items can likely be bought online or Amazon but nice to see and touch and buy. I've told my cat friends about the place! Until the next review... read more

A very cute cat store that I would recommend taking a peek around in. While the location is very small, they use the space well to display as many things as possible. The front of the store seems to be a reserved for items for your cat, such as toys, food, treats, clothes, etc. While the rest of the store is filled with trinkets that have cats on them or our cat related. We ended up with two cat toys, a 'feral' car, air freshener, and two pairs of earrings. The employee was very friendly and wrapped everything up nicely for us and asked us about our fur babies at home. read more

Purrgatory is my favorite store in San Diego for all my cat and catlady needs! With a thoughtful and highly curated selection of beautiful items for you, and delightful toys, accessories (cat sunglasses!), and other fun things for your kitties, you'll find so many unique things in the store. Though the space is on the smaller side, Purrgatory owner Tara has filled it with unique, high quality products that you won't find on Amazon or in other pet supply stores. Instead, expect to discover cat inspired art, cards, notebooks, clothing, accessories, and so much more. Prices are reasonable, too. Some of my cats' favorite toys were purchased from here, and I have yet to find them elsewhere in other stores or even online. Not only can you find awesome things here, Purrgatory even holds cat adoption events in the store! I also love that they support Feral Cat Coalition. Check out Purrgatory for all your cat needs and cat related gifts. It's a beautiful, independent shop run by a true cat lover and advocate. Shop local! read more

This shop is honestly the cutest! I don't have any cats, but I noticed this shop when I was grabbing ice cream at Jeni's a few doors down and had to come in to check it out. This is absolutely where I'll be going for my cat-loving friends for birthdays and other gift opportunities. They had a wide variety of items in different price ranges! read more

Not sure what I was expecting when we came here One of my friends and I have kitties, I guess we were kinda hoping for more stuff for cats, but it's more geared towards humans and that's ok too. We find our focus to be more on the cats themselves and not so much on things for us. There's all kinds of trinkets, jewelry, and general cat merch but not a whole lot of stuff for cats. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. It is a little bit further away from all the action in north park, so we had quite the trek to take getting there read more

Such a cute shop with clever and unique gifts for cat lovers! I giggled at the funny cat humor pins, stickers, and trinkets. They have a wonderful selection of greeting cards too, but I bought one and it was packaged in velum paired with an envelope much too small to fit the card in to. So that was a fail. Luckily I didn't need to mail the card! read more

What an awesome store!! The two working for friendly! Location of it is new, but the store itself isn't, they just relocated. I love how this store is dedicated to cats only because you see many other stores that primarily cater to dogs. They have cool cat toys, books, decorations, and much more items for sale. I would say the value is good and not overly expensive. The cats they have in the window are up for adoption as well. Come support your local small business! read more

Very small, but cute shop with many cat oriented gifts. There are items including clothing, socks, pins, stickers, books, oven mits, towels, art, toys for cats, treats for cats, decor, and more. Overall, reasonably priced for gifts. They also offer gift cards! Service was friendly. There is street parking that is free, but you have to keep an eye out and you may have to take a bit of a walk. Overall, I recommend for cat lovers! read more

This store is cute! but really small. Didn't have as many food items as I had hoped for my cats, but worth checking out. Customer service is trash. Made the whole experience lousy. The gentleman with the attitude - needs a vacation. Desperately. read more
