ADOPTIONS AT PETCO
PetCo was happy to reach the #100 mark at their Pet Adoption Center on June 21…..and it was a PuRR kitten who had the honor! His shelter name was Blues but he is now named “Zorro” and is home with Jan Gregg-Kelm and Nelson Kelm in Vallarta. Their other two PuRR cats, Gizmo & Luna, are going through the usual adjustment period but will soon figure out there is enough love to go around for all.
We started bringing kittens to PetCo in Puerto Vallarta when they opened last November and to date have found furr-ever homes for 47 PuRR kittens there! The Adoption Center is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday and features dogs, puppies and kittens from local shelters and foster homes. All have vet-certified health records and are vaccinated and spayed or neutered. The adoption fees are very
nominal ($350-$500 pesos) and PetCo gives the new parents discount coupons and one vet visit. So spread the word for anyone looking for a new furry companion!!
PURR PROJECT 2020 CALENDAR
Yes, it is only July but the beautiful PuRR Project 2020 Calendar is hot off the presses!! For those of you who would like to place an order TODAY, we’ll be able to mail them out with a volunteer going to California this month. (Next chance will be in the Fall sometime.) Just contact Bama at info@purrproject.com to place an order. They are still $20 plus postage and you can pay by PayPal at DONATE on our website or send a check to Delaware. https://purrproject.com/donate/
FEATURED FELINES
Murphy and his sisters Melodie and Molly came to the PuRR Shelter in February when they were already about four months old. Molly was adopted right away and went with Allison Bell to live in British Colombia. But both Murphy and Melodie are still waiting for their Furr-Ever homes and it gets more difficult with the huge amount of little kittens they have to compete against.
Murphy has soft fawn-colored fur and golden eyes. Melodie is a tuxedo with a little white moustache and green eyes. Both have very mellow dispositions and would make great kitty companions. If you are interested in adopting one (or both!) or any of our felines, contact Linda at adopt@purrproject.com for information.
SHELTER UPDATE
By the time you receive this newsletter, the summer rains will likely have started….right now it’s just hot an humid! To prepare, we have removed one dead tree and trimmed all the trees around the transformer and over the clinic. We also added a higher step at the front gate to help prevent all the muddy water coming in from the street when cars & trucks zoom past! The emergency generator is ready and hopefully we are too!!
