Garage Sale

The season is starting soon and we have our first fundraiser scheduled, the 3rd annual Garage Sale on the weekend of November 12-13 in the Marina!

If you have items to donate, please contact Marilyn at exkhan@usfamily.net for info on where to drop off or schedule a pick-up the week before the sale.

So start cleaning out your closets, cabinets, office, kitchen and garage for those unwanted “treasures” that someone else will love to have.

Cuddle a kitty on the Shelter Tour!

Shelter Tours

The tour dates for this season are November 16 & 30, December 14 & 28, Jananuary 11 & 25, February 8 & 22 and March 8 & 22.

You and your cat-loving friends are sure to enjoy this unique experience of meeting all our PuRR residents and seeing some rural Mexico including the charming colonial town of San Jose del Valle…..plus eating great tacos!!

You must have a reservation. Information on how to reserve, pick-up point and lots more is on our website at SHELTER VISITS.

Kitty Bingo

Once again we will be having Kitty BINGO every other Wednesday night starting on November 23rd.

We’ll be back at Margarita Grill on the corner of Basilio Badillo and Pino Suarez, where the margaritas are fabulous and you can win great prizes when you get a BINGO and yell “MEOW”!!!

Cards go on sale at 4:30 and games start at 5:00.

It’s a fun way to start an evening before sunset and dinner in Old Town Vallarta!

Grab a friend, grab a table and support a great cause.

Featured Feline: Aline

This beautiful Calico kitty is “Aline” and was one of a litter of six left in a box on the road outside the shelter on a hot morning in late July.

She is happy and healthy and ready for her Furr-ever home

…..as are littermates Annie, Alison, Alex, Armand and Artur!!
 
Simona’s Senior Center Update

As of this writing, the new Senior Center is nearing completion and will be functioning by the time the Fall tours begin.

It’s always a challenge to do construction during the rainy season here in the tropics, but we pushed ahead and are pleased with the results so far. (The only problem is it’s so nice that Jose wants to move into it!!)

Again, heartfelt THANKS to all those who contributed to making the dream of a casita for our aging felines a reality!
 

The PuRR Nursery

The nursery at the PuRR Shelter continues to overflow with only two adoptions in July, seven in August and so far only one in September!

Unfortunately, some of our babies are growing up and it becomes much more difficult to find homes and many will end up in the PuRR gardens instead of a loving home.

Please consider adopting one of our kitties before that happens!

If YOU are ready to give a Furr-ever home to one or more, contact Linda at adopt@purrproject.com or come see us any Friday at Plaza Marina between 11:00 and 2:00.

Volunteers at Plaza Marina

Volunteers Needed

We are looking for a volunteer to help Livia with the Adoption Booth on Fridays at Plaza Marina from 11:00 until 2:00.

You would help unload the kittens and supplies and be available to talk to people who stop by the booth……hopefully to adopt a kitten!

Spanish is helpful but not necessary.

If you are interested or have questions, contact Linda at volunteer@purrproject.com for more information.
