SHELTER UPDATE
Yea!! No major disasters this past month! November was typical with purr-fect weather……warm days and cooler evenings with less humidity. We still have round 50 kittens in the nursery that we would love to find homes for. The PetCo Adoption center is open on Saturday and Sunday and continues to be our main source of adoptions. The sterilization campaign funded by PetCo in November did 318 free spay/neuters in two days and we thank the PuRR volunteers who helped out! Sterilization is THE ANSWER to the huge overpopulation of unwanted kittens and puppies in the community. Organizations like PEACE ANIMALS, CUALE CLINIC & COLINA CLINIC do an amazing job year-round in their efforts to offer free services in Banderas Bay.
VIRTUAL ADOPTIONS
Karan and Santiago
Looking for a PuRR-fect Christmas gift for that cat-loving friend or family member?? How about a “virtual” kitty? It’s a great way to support the shelter and one of our cats who have been passed over or are not suitable for a regular adoption. See photos of candidates and all the information on our website at https://purrproject.com/adopt/
A special thanks to Stephen Chai, the lead developer of an NFT project on twitter called CarelessCats. He contacted us saying that one
of the things they wanted to do as a community was to Virtually Adopt some cats…… so they found our website and chose THREE lucky PuRR cats!! They will be posting periodic photos and updates on their website. MEOW!
PuRR volunteer Karan Borges decided to Virtually Adopt a cat she regularly visits in our Senior Center. Santiago had some rough times living on the street, but is now safe and will have a comfortable place to live out his life.

GRACIAS! THANKS! MERCI! DANKE! ARIGATO!
With so many cats and few adoptions, our costs for food, medicine, litter, cleaning supplies, utilities and vet bills are higher than ever before. We are thankful for every penny and every peso that our loyal supporters have donated in a time that we realize is difficult for so many.
Thank you to our regular donors: Gary Phillips, Carol & Charlie McCullough, Sharon & Ken Rose, Joanne Bryla, Trisha Aljoe, Pat & Sandy Glenn, Timothy Olena, Larry Sherwood, Jalene Taylor, Heidi Benedict, Elizabeth Fuerherm and Robert Weed.
