Puerto Vallarta, México – 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.
SHELTER UPDATE
We carried out some preventive maintenance, cutting down a dead tree in danger of falling on the clinic in a storm. Plus trimming back others that needed it. We took in a total of 25 kittens and 2 Mama cats in July. It was a very hot month which was tough on kitties and volunteers, but no major storms or flooding which was a good thing.
ADOPTIONS
July was the worst month we’ve ever had at PetCo with only ONE adoption! Probably in part due to FIFA, which kept people home in front of the TV. But we did have 3 adoptions through our wonderful fosters. Plus Dawn Juola and husband Bill Bauer flew down to adopt Cinnamon & Gil to add to their PuRR kitty family! Since 2014 with the adoption of Charo, they have given many of our cats a Forever Home in Southern California, and we are very grateful.
ADOPTION UPDATE: JACK-JOEY
We love to hear from people who have adopted PuRR kitties! Ashley Hejlik originally took kittens Jack & Joey to foster back in 2020 and it soon became a “foster fail” story! Ashley sent recent photos and writes: “Six years later they are healthy, vital and loving life in Oaxaca!”.
GRACIAS! THANKS! MERCI! DANKE! ARIGATO!
