SHELTER UPDATE
The PuRR Nursery
We’ve got everything cleaned up from the flood last month……well almost! Trisha’s Kitten House suffered damage from the water and some sections of tile are scheduled to be replaced in the nursery. Jose’s brother, Carlos, decided to come back to work with us and he is a welcome addition!!! He is primarily responsible for the grounds (has already repainted the nursery!) and for giving Jose and Hilda a chance to take an occasional day off. Running a shelter is a 365 day a year job and just not possible without dedicated people there 24/7!!!
THE PURR NURSERY
Nathan at PetCo!
We took in 19 new kittens in November plus one nursing mama. We had only six adoptions at PetCo. At last count, there were 37 kittens in the nursery, clinic and Macho’s House. So if you are looking for a special kitty as a Christmas gift…….we have plenty left for you!!! I am amazed when I meet people every week who still do not know that there is an Adoption Center at PetCo in Puerto Vallarta……after being open for over a year now! There are both adoptable dogs and cats there every single weekend from Friday morning to Sunday night. Meow!
UPCOMING EVENTS

DONATING IDEAS
Are you age 70 1/2 or older??? Did you know that the Charitable IRA Rollover allows individuals age 70½ and older to make donations direct from your IRA to qualified charities? PURR PROJECT USA, INC. has the required 501c(3) status with EIN: 45-5349146.
This is money you would otherwise be forced to receive under the RMD rules and pay taxes on. You can donate any or all of the minimum distribution for the year. Your IRA trustee would cut a check to PURR PROJECT USA, INC. and give to you to send to us at our Delaware address. In return, you receive a receipt from us stating that you did not receive any goods or services in exchange for your contribution, so all becomes deductible…..a win-win situation for all!
