Pet's info: Cat | American Longhair | Female | spayed | 7 years and 7 months old | 9 lbs
My cat is breathing rapidly but at the same time purring. Is this something to be concerned out?

As long as she isn't in any distress and seems comfortable, that may just be her purring. However, if this is a behavior you've never seen in her before, it's worth getting her checked by your vet just to make sure she doesn't have the start of an upper respiratory infection or something similar.
