ADOPTION UPDATE: MILO

Marsha and the 2017 Calendar

This little tabby was brought to the PuRR Shelter by a volunteer in February of 2016 and named “Arlo”. Dra. Eva though he was about three months old and he was soon tested, vaccinated, neutered and ready to go out for adoption at our Friday adoption booth at Plaza Marina. It was there that Marsha Brezonick met him and quickly decided he was going to go home with her to Colorado! The next year, he was Mr. April in the PuRR 2017 Calendar.

Last month, Marsha stopped by our booth at Daiquiri Dick’s to say “Hello” and give us an update. She says: “He is now named Milo and is big and fluffy and a happy kitty living in a very small town in Colorado of about 2,000 people. He spends time both inside and outside, but he prefers to be inside. He has a friend, Trixie, who he loves to play with and chase after. Milo likes to sleep on my bed and is

friendly to the other members of our family which includes children, but he is definitely my cat. He is loved and spoiled.”

THE SHELTER CLINIC

The PuRR Clinic is normally used for taking care of new kittens, sick cats, giving baths, surgery for spay or neuter…..and all the usual things you would do in a clinic. Occasionally though, Dra. Eva has to take time to handle emergencies involving our rescued rooster, Aurelio, or rescued dog, Rocky…….or even a rescued giant green Iguana!!! Hopefully this beautiful fellow will make a full recovery soon.

SHELTER PHOTOGRAPHIC SESSION

Last month we were contacted by Janet Holmes with a request for a special visit to spend time photographing our shelter. She specializes in making portraits of rescued animals…….and she and husband Miles have a particularly soft spot for cats with four of their own! Since cats don’t “pose” it can be a difficult job, but Janet and Miles spent a whole morning roaming the shelter grounds and casitas with their cameras. Thank you for taking some of your precious vacation time to visit us and we can’t wait to see some of the results! You can check out her website at: https://www.janetholmesphoto.com/rescuedchickens

WHERE THERE’S A WILL ….CONTINUED

We occasionally have people tell us they would like to remember our shelter with a bequest in their will. It is very important that you use the correct name when crafting a will. If the proceeds are to be in U.S. dollars, then they should go to PURR PROJECT USA, INC. Address: 113 Mountain Laurel Drive, Milton, DE 19968. The Federal tax i.d. number for the 501c(3) status is: 45-5349146. (There are other “Purr Project” or “Project Purr” rescue groups in several states and it will be confusing if you only state “PURR PROJECT” in your will!!)
