SHELTER UPDATE
Linda’s Casita
It was a nerve wracking month with five hurricanes back to back: Polo, Rachel, Simon, Trudy & now Vance on the way! Fortunately, only Polo caused the terrible flooding at the shelter. With help from our many supporters and the community, the shelter is in good shape now though still overcrowded in the casitas. But they are clean and we’ll be installing the new cat trees as soon as the threat of flooding is past! A new dryer was installed and the almost new washing machine was repaired. A truckload of flood debris was hauled away.
UPCOMING EVENTS
SATURDAY MARKET: Please come see us at out usual spot just outside Daiquiri Dick’s on Saturday, November 7th from 10:00 to 1:00. We look forward to seeing old friends and will have our beautiful logo T-shirts, caps, drink holders, cat dish towels and of course the 2027 PuRR Calendar!!
KITTY BINGO: We are SO excited to start this season of Kitty BINGO on Wednesday, November 11th at Nacho Daddy! Cards go on sale at 3:30 for only $200 pesos for all eight games. Plus we will have the 50/50 Raffle. Games start at 4:00 so grab a friend

GARAGE SALE: The date is set for Saturday, December 5. We’re now collecting donated items at Gaviotas 143, Marina Vallarta or email us at donate@purrproject.com if you need items picked up. Remember, ones man’s trash is another man’s treasure so start getting rid of that “stuff” you no longer need!
ADOPTIONS
Tony & Loretta adopted!
In October we took in 26 kittens left at the shelter. It was unfortunate that there were hurricane warnings every weekend! That really hurt us at PetCo as we only had three adoptions there. We also had one at the shelter and two by a foster. We’re hoping that November and December will be much better! So please consider us if you are looking for a new Furry Family member.
FEATURED FELINE: WALLABY
Wallaby and her siblings Waffles & Whiskey were left at the shelter gate in June of 2025. Her sister and brother were adopted (Waffles graces our 2027 Calendar cover!) but Wallaby is still living in our “teenage” casita where she loves attention from visitors. She’s about 20 months old and would be a great furry companion for someone who prefers an older kitty. Get more info at adopt@purrproject.com
GRACIAS! THANKS! MERCI! DANKE! ARIGATO!

We are so grateful to all of you!
