Newsletter – October 1st 2019
SHELTER UPDATE
New improved front entry.
Last month we reported on the damage to the back fence from a falling tree and damage to the front gate and fence from a car crash! We want to thank Carol & Charlie McCullough and Trisha Aljoe who came to our rescue with donations to cover all the repairs. We now have not only a new front entry but some sturdy cement posts that should protect that area. Sadly, there is not much we can do about falling trees except keep our fingers crossed!!! We had a scare with Hurricane Lorena, which shut down schools and businesses as it passed by, but fortunately no damage in this area.
GARAGE SALE: NOVEMBER 9TH
First delivery of garage sale items!
This first Fall season fundraiser is SO important as we desperately need to re-fill the “kitty” after a long summer! We’ve already started receiving some great goodies, but we need more! October is the time to start cleaning out your closets, kitchen cabinets, jewelry box and garage for those items you no longer use or need. You can drop off items at the sale site in the Marina by contacting Linda at donate@purrproject.com or contact Marilyn for arrangements for items to be picked up: exkhan@usfamily.net

ADOPTIONS
A happy PetCo Adoption!
The weekend Adoption Center at PetCo continues to be our main source of adoptions right now, with 22 adoptions in August and September! We bring several kittens there every Friday morning, all tested, vaccinated and spayed or neutered, so spread the word!! We will also be back at Daiquiri Dick’s on Saturday mornings starting in November, with kittens plus all our logo items for purchase.
ADOPTION UPDATE: PABLO
At the Vallarta airport
We love to get news of our kitties that have traveled to far places! Betty Nguyen and husband Brian adopted Khan (now Pablo) when they were visiting Vallarta in February of 2018 and stopped by our booth at Daiquiri Dicks. It was a long trip back to Lincoln, Nebraska with a layover in Atlanta. They finally made it safely home in a big snowstorm, which was a shock to this Mexicat! Betty said he was very sweet throughout the plane ride……and no accidents at all.
Betty recently sent an update: “Pablo is enjoying him time in Lincoln, Nebraska with his dog brothers. Last December my husband and I gave birth to our first
Pablo & baby sister!
baby. I attached a picture of Pablo cuddling next to her. Come this December, Pablo will have two human sisters as we are expecting another baby girl. We hope to visit PV in the near future and would love to attend one of Purr projects fundraising nights!”
GRACIAS! THANKS! MERCI! DANKE! ARIGATO!
