SEPTEMBER VA MONTH
Connie and Isabel
Last month, Connie Argus made a special trip to the shelter and picked out TWO cats for her and Thomas to sponsor this year! She chose beautiful Isabel, who is also on our website. Then she picked a calico she named “Notch” because of her ear that was notched when she was spayed. Thank You to all the people who renewed their Virtual Adoptions this year!!
September is the month we celebrate our Virtual Adoption cats! These are usually older cats that have little hope of finding a Forever Home. Many are very people-friendly and would make great companions. Others are feral or have a disability such as one eye or are deaf. YOU can “Virtually Adopt” one of these felines for
VA Cats that need a sponsor
yourself or as a gift to a feline-loving friend for only $120 a year and help us continue to give these adult cats a safe home and medical care for life. You can learn how to virtually adopt and also meet all the candidates by going to our website at https://purrproject.com/adopt/ or write us at adopt@purrproject.com
SHELTER UPDATE
Pat giving treats to the yard cats!
August was another blazing hot & humid month for our volunteers, staff and vets…..and cats!! Thankfully we had some rain but no big storms to cause damage to the shelter. We had 28 kittens and 2 adult cats abandoned at the shelter….almost one for every day of the month! We only had nine adoptions, two at Petco and two at the shelter, so we now have around 76 kittens that still need a Forever Home.
We are still dealing with a very full shelter! Your donations are providing all the food, medicines, cleaning supplies and salaries needed to keep the shelter running. Every little bit helps and you can go to our website at https://purrproject.com/donate/ to see ways to donate.
ADOPTION UPDATE: VALIENTE
Valiente and his new family!
Last month we chose Valiente as our Featured Feline. Now we are thrilled to report that “The Brave One” has found his Forever Home!!!!! We decided to give him a chance at PetCo one weekend, even though he was not the little kitten that most people seem to prefer to adopt and had a small deformity in his lower jaw. Gabriel Morales and her family only saw a purr-fect kitty that was eager to give them lots of love!
GRACIAS! THANKS! MERCI! DANKE! ARIGATO!
