THE PuRR NURSERY

Percy, Parker, Poncho, Peter & Pepperoni

We have over two dozen cute kittens in the PuRR Nursery or in foster care that will soon be spayed or neutered and ready for their forever Homes! Mama Babs has finished nursing her four: Benji, Boots, Bandit & Bailey. We have siblings, Nevada, Texas, Dakota & Maine plus their Mama Montana who is about one year old and also needs a home. Brothers Peter, Parker, Percy, Pepperoni & Poncho were fostered by Cathy Case and are now ready for their debut at Plaza Marina. Keith, Kerry & Kendall are our newest babies.

Our regular Friday Adoption Booth at Plaza Marina will continue through the summer, right in front of Comercial Mexicana from 11:00 to 2:00. If you would like more information on adopting a kitty, contact

Boots & sister, Bailey

Linda at adopt@purrproject.com or check us out on Facebook. All our adoption candidates have been tested for FIV/Leukemia, dewormed, vaccinated and sterilized.

FEATURED FELINE: MONTANA

Montana & her kids

Mama Montana is a beautiful Tuxedo who was rescued by a PuRR volunteer in February, along with her five babies, and given a safe place in her own little casita at the shelter. She was a good mother and loved human attention, so had obviously lived in a home at some point…….probably tossed out when she became pregnant. She is now spayed, healthy and ready for her Forever Home!! Meow!

VIRTUAL ADOPTIONS

Skylar after surgery.

A Virtual Adoption is a great way to say “Thank You” to someone, and that’s exactly what Debbie Stevens did to thank uncle Ron Harner for his and Clint’s generous hospitality on a recent visit to Vallarta. Thanks to Debbie’s donation, Skylar was able to have much needed dental surgery. Two other Vitual Adoptions, Gulliver and Brisa, also received dental surgery last month. The surgery is expensive, about $100 USD, though a bargain compared to what it would cost for the same procedure north of the border….around $2,000 dollars!!!!!

SPRING GARAGE SALE

Lots of happy shoppers!

We opened the doors to a crowd of shoppers at the PuRR Project Spring Garage Sale on March 21! Most everything was sold and the rest went to Corazon de Nina for their store. We extend a big THANK YOU to everyone who donated the multitude of items for this final fund-raiser of the season…..and of course we could not have done it all without the volunteers who collected items, helped set up and worked the event!! Watch for the next one in November.

LOOKING BACK…..

This PuRR kitty says “phooey” to my letter!

In looking back to our very first newsletter in May of 2011, I found this letter that I’d like to share again!

LETTER TO MY CAT: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain MY food. Please note that placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not claim a stake for it to become YOUR dish and food.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep at right angles to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. I have been using the bathroom for years……feline attendance is not necessary.
