Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - It's going to be a busy week for PuRR Project, the non-profit, no-kill feline shelter just north of Puerto Vallarta that provides homeless cats and kittens a recuperative stay with the ultimate goal of adopting them out to loving homes sterilized, vaccinated and disease free.

PuRR Project now has over 150 adorable cats and kittens in residence. Donations and fund raising events are the only source of financing to provide food, shelter and veterinary care for these rescued animals, so join us for these two PuRRfectly wonderful events!

The Season's LAST Purr Project Ranch Tour

There are still seats available for the season's LAST Purr Project Ranch Tour on Wednesday, March 22! The 10-passenger air-conditioned van will leave Superior Tours' office at Plaza Romy in Old Town at 9:00 am, or VIPS Restaurant by the Marina Walmart at 9:20 am.

In addition to meeting all 150 cats and kittens up close and personal, we're now including a short stop in San Juan de Valle, a charming little Mexican town near the ranch. We've discovered a great taco stand where you can have lunch if you wish. We'll have you back at your pick-up point by 1:30 pm.

Reserving your spot is a breeze. Just go to PurrProject.com, and click on 'Shelter Visits' at the top of the page. You'll find all the info you need about visiting the ranch, or you can contact our Tour Director, Bob Doelger, at visit(at)purrproject.com.

The cost is only $300 pesos if you pay on the van or $20 USD if you pay on-line by PayPal. Please note that these tours have been completely funded so every peso of your donation goes directly to the care of the cats residing at the ranch.

Come out and pet, cuddle, hug, nuzzle, pamper, and snuggle to your heart's content!
