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.
SHELTER UPDATE
We’re happy to report that the shelter itself is fine with no floods or falling trees so far this summer! But to say the shelter is FULL is an understatement. We took in 44 cats, mostly very young kittens, and 30 in just one week! We only had 2 adoptions in the last month and we now have 115 either in the nursery or in fosters that we need to find homes for. It is definitely going to be a challenge!
PURR PROJECT 2026 CALENDAR
Our 2026 Calendar is here! They make such a great gift for your cat-loving friends and family as well as yourself!! You will be able to get yours at our Saturday booth at Daiquiri Dicks starting in November. If you would like to have one mailed to you in the USA, contact Bama at info@purrproject.com for instructions and your mailing address. They are $25 each including postage. You can pay by sending a check to our Delaware address or by the PayPal button on our website.
VIRTUAL ADOPTION MONTH
September is the month we celebrate our Virtual Adoption cats! These are usually older cats that have little hope of finding a Forever Home. Some are feral or have a disability such as one eye or are deaf. YOU can “Virtually Adopt” one of these felines for 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.
UPCOMING EVENTS
We plan to be back at our regular table outside Daiquiri Dick’s when the Saturday Olas Altas market starts in November. And the first Kitty BINGO is scheduled for Wednesday, November 5 and every other Wednesday through the high season. So mark your PuRR calendar and plan to join us when you are in town!
ADOPTIONS
August has traditionally been our slowest month for adoptions and this year was no exception. So we were very thankful to finally have a double adoption at the end of the month! Nutmeg and Roman found their Forever Home on their second trip to PetCo! We bring our favorite kitties to the PetCo Adoption Center every weekend so please spread the word to friends or family looking for a new fur baby.
