Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The latest news from PuRR Project, a 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.
UPCOMING EVENTS
As the season winds down, so do our fundraising events! We will be at the Saturday market through May 10th which is the last day of the Saturday Olas Altas market and last chance to get your PuRR T-shirts and other logo items. And we plan at least one more Kitty BINGO on Wednesday, May 14th at Nacho Daddy in Old Town. So mark your PuRR calendar and join us for a chance to win great prizes while supporting the shelter felines!
THE PURR NURSERY
Another record month with 33 kittens plus two mama cats abandoned or rescued by volunteers! All of our casitas and the clinic are overflowing with kittens of all ages. That’s a lot of bathing, deworming, vaccinating and spaying or neutering before they can be put up for adoption. Plus keeping records on all of them. Dra. Eva and the volunteers have had their hands full!
ADOPTIONS
We had 3 adoptions at the shelter in April, and 7 at Petco, which we are grateful for. But there are another 52 kittens at the shelter that we need to find home for or else release to live out their lives in the shelter yard. So please consider us if you are thinking of adding a new furry friend to YOUR family! Maybe a Mother’s Day gift? We are at the Petco Adoption center every Saturday from 10-6:00 and Sunday 10-4:00.
GRACIAS! THANKS! MERCI! DANKE! ARIGATO!
We’d like to thank Cherri Gillmore, Edward Schlauch and Angus McDonald for their generous donations to the shelter in April.

Our BIG Garage Sale on April 5 was a BIG success, thanks to our volunteers who worked so hard to set it up and to the many people who came out to shop.
