The latest news from PuRR Project, a non-profit, no-kill feline shelter just north of Puerto Vallarta that provides homeless cats and kittens a recuperative stay with the ultimate goal of adopting them out to loving homes, sterilized, vaccinated, and disease-free.
UPCOMING EVENTS
GARAGE SALE: The date is set for Saturday, April 18, for our Big Spring Sale! Gates will open at 9:00. We’re now collecting donated items at Gaviotas 143, Marina Vallarta, or you can email us at donate(at)purrproject.com if you need items picked up. Remember, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, so start getting rid of that “stuff” you no longer need!
KITTY BINGO: The April date is Wednesday the 22nd. Games start at 4:00 at Nacho Daddy in Old Town, and we have a lot of great prizes waiting for winners who shout “MEOW!”. So mark your PuRR Calendar and grab a friend to join in the fun while supporting the 300+ cats and kittens at the shelter.
SATURDAY MARKET: We’ll be at our regular spot outside Daiquiri Dick’s every Saturday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm (except the 18th) with all the PuRR logo T-shirts, caps, mugs, drink holders, and the ever-popular dish towels. They all make great gifts for your cat-loving friends and family… and yourself!
FEATURED FELINES: LALA & LALO
Abandoned at the shelter at 2 weeks old, Lala had already lost one eye, and Lalo appeared to be mostly blind. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of life a blind kitten has, these 2 will show you they can do just as well as sighted kittens. They are incredibly adaptable, and with the help of their other senses, they easily find their food, water, toys, and each other to play with. Don’t hesitate to adopt a sight-impaired kitten… they will do just fine! For more information, contact Linda at adopt(at)purrproject.com.
ADOPTIONS
The PetCo Adoption Center is still our best source of adoptions, but March was another slow month with only 6 at PetCo. We were thrilled when Kathy Lay found Forever Homes for 3 of her six fosters at Daiquiri Dick’s! Then Heather Galimberti & son Liam flew down from Toronto to adopt Waffles (now Violet) & Eliza to join their other PuRR kitties Quentin & Nico!
THE POWER OF LOVE
March brought us a situation that reminds us of the powerful nurturing instinct of mother cats. Tina was nursing her litter of five, who were born at the shelter, when two newborns were left without their mother. One baby did not survive the ordeal, but we placed the one that did in Tina’s care. The new mom readily accepted the responsibility of caring for a kitten that was not her own and was smaller than her five.
GRACIAS! THANKS! MERCI! DANKE! ARIGATO!
We REALLY appreciated the generous donations in March from Cherri Gillmore, Beverly & Joseph Cairns, Steve Stowall, Paramount Bay Sunset Yoga, Cathering Goglia, and Joyce Nordquist!
