Paraiso Felino Cat Shelter Needs Help in Getting Through the Summer Janina Erban - Paraiso Felino
September 10, 2013

With the summer season well along and few people in the area, things really slow down in the Bay of Banderas area.

This change of pace really affects our shelter as our income plummets but the need of the residents continues. 220 kitties eat a substantial amount of kibble in a given day (11-12 kg.).

This previous week I withdrew the last of the money from our official account that had been saved up during the high season. Therefore any and all help will be appreciated. Our needs consist of dry cat food, canned food or pouches, kitten food and milk, cleaning supplies, medicine & vet visits, transport to and from the vet, spay clinics & adoption days, water, electricity, etc.

Monetary donations as well as donations in kind are greatly appreciated. Be part of The Friends of Paraíso Felino club where you donate a bag (or more) of Kirkland cat food or the equivalent ($250 pesos per bag) each month. Why not join our club today and help us keep all the kitties fed and healthy.

Because of the over population problem of cats, especially here in Mexico, shelters find themselves overloaded. Therefore cat adoptions are important and we have a weekly arrangement starting soon (November - April) at La Cruz’s Sunday Market (Cooperativo Huanacaxtle) where people have been able to see and adopt kittens. All of our cats are sterilized before they are given in adoption to help break the chain of over-reproduction. We will also have a variety of hand made objects for sale; 100% going to Paraíso Felino.

“Volunteer” Public Relations/Fundraiser - Paraíso Felino really needs someone with a little time every day to be on the computer and motivate people to donate and/or volunteer their time and effort. We’d like to expand our Friends of Paraíso Felino club and would need volunteers to take kittens to adoption sites for example. Bilingual is good but not necessary.

On site drop off at Paraíso Felino in San Juan of food or funds can be done daily by phoning first and confirming. Salon Diva’s in Bucerias will also forward donations. Our website has detailed donation instructions including a Paypal button for online donating and deposits can be made to our official bank account at BANORTE or our non-official account in Canada (contact Janina at paraiso_felino@hotmail.com).

Paraiso Felino and the 220 kitties thank you for your generosity.

So when does the party start?
