Upcoming Events and Rescue Updates at PuRR Project Shelter PuRR Project
go to original February 1, 2024

We provide homeless cats and kittens a recuperative stay at PuRR Project with the ultimate goal to adopt them out to loving homes sterilized, vaccinated and disease free; accomplishing this through our own efforts as well as collaboratively with other animal welfare organizations and veterinarians.

Upcoming Events

KITTY BINGO: At Nacho Daddy every other Wednesday throughout the season at 4:00. That means February 14th and 28th this month. Maybe treat your special someone to some fun at BINGO before heading out to that romantic Valentine’s Day dinner? Or even win a gift certificate to one of our restaurant sponsors to help pay for that special dinner! MEOW!

SATURDAY MARKET: We’re just outside Daiquiri Dick’s every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Our popular logo T-shirts in PuRR volunteers posing behind a table with a pink tablecloth and PuRR items for saleboth men’s & women’s sizes and different colors and styles to choose from make amazing gifts! We also have caps, coffee cups, drink holders and kitty ears. Or maybe you just need to pet a kitten! So stop by and say “Hello” to our volunteers.

Special Needs Cats

We occasionally get an abandoned or rescued kitty who has lost an eye or has a badly damaged eye that Dra. Eva has to remove. Some, like Grace and Betty White now live in the shelter gardens. Pirate was adopted by volunteer Brenda Gill and is a happy and playful house cat who now lives in both California and Vallarta! Nestor found his Forever Home with Catherine Goglia (who started out as his foster mama). Our most recent was Penny who is also being fostered by Catherine. Penny has already had one eye removed and is probably going to lose the other so she will be completely blind. Catherine reports: Lucky Penny kitty posing for the camera, laying on her back. She is missing her right eye.

“Penny is the bravest, sweetest, playful kitten and today she got to explore and meet the other cats. She was just so chill and so were the other cats. No one cared that she is a bit different.” It takes a special person to welcome a kitty like Penny into their home and we all hope that special person will reach out to us! You can contact Linda at adopt(at)purrproject.com for more information about how to adopt Penny or any of our shelter kitties.

Spay & Neuter

We all benefit! PeaceAnimals reports that last year their Mobile Clinic sterilized 8,095 cats and dogs for FREE in the Banderas Bay. Colina and Cuale free clinics along with state and municipal sponsored clinics also helped reduce the number of unwanted kittens & puppies left to suffer. PuRR Project has a weekly visit from a vet whose job is to sterilize the many kittens abandoned there (265 last year!). We are committed that no shelter cat goes up for adoption until it has been spayed or neutered. You can meet our adoptable PuRR Project kitties any weekend at the PetCo Adoption Center!
