We can use just about anything: small appliances, jewelry, toys, towels, kitchenware, artwork, gently used clothing, shoes, sports equipment & office supplies.
SHELTER UPDATE
We made it through October with no floods or other disasters and we are definitely looking forward to cooler weather! Though a lot of people were on vacation, we always had enough volunteers to drive the vet out there and either give her assistance or spend time with the many kittens in the nursery. They love having a person to climb on! If you have Thursdays free and want to join us, contact Linda at info(at)purrproject.com for details. Having a car is a plus!
FEATURED FELINE
Gamaki was abandoned at the shelter in early June and is now about six months old… a teenager in our cat world! She has beautiful, soft long fur, green eyes, pink nose and a shorter tail than normal. If you are interested in meeting Gamaki or any of the older kitties in the PuRR nursery, contact Bama at adopt(at)purrproject.com for information. And don’t forget we bring adorable, adoptable, kittens to PetCo every weekend!
DONATING IDEAS
An RMD is the amount of money that you must withdraw from nearly all types of tax-deferred retirement accounts each year once you hit a certain age. What many retirees don’t know is that they can donate all, or a portion of, their required minimum distribution directly to charity. It’s called a qualified charitable distribution or QCD. In addition to the benefits of giving to PURR PROJECT USA, INC, the amount donated is excluded from your taxable income! A win-win situation!
