A Message from Barbara King 
Owner/Operator and Volunteer of The PURRfect KITTY
I would like to thank everyone who has ever made any kind of donation to our Shelter.
Whether it's supplies from our wish-list, a one-time monetary donation or repeated monetary donations,
all of these donations are a generous & unselfish act of kindness and
we truly appreciate it.
All the Volunteers including myself are extremely grateful!
The PURRfect KITTY is a small, private, personalized, non-profit, no-kill facility that relies
on donations to function.
We have financially struggled from the start and one way we have survived is due to everyone being a Volunteer.
There is no paid staff at our facility and there never will be. All of our Volunteers have jobs & families and
they donate their spare
time because we all share the same passion... a love for animals.
Our other means of survival is due to generous people who have donated to our cause.
100% of all donations go to helping the kitties and that will always remain the same.
We are not a large operation that receives donation checks in the mail on a daily basis.
We're excited when we see one or maybe two checks in our mailbox per week! :)
We don't have the funds or the manpower to do big fundraisers or mass mailings but we
have the desire to help kitties in need.
Besides, we dont want to harass people to
contribute to our cause by sending letters to their homes.
To become a recurring donor is a personal choice and it's one that is going to help keep
The PURRfect KITTY successfully operating as long as there are kind, generous people
out there.
Here is a breakdown of the huge impact that recurring donors will have on our Shelter:
The first 200 recurring donors will help secure our facility location and give
us peace of mind that we will be able
to continue helping kitties for as long as
those generous donors contribute. Without a place to operate, we cannot exist.
After the first 200 recurring donors, the next 100 donors will help with
our major expenses including Veterinary care.
There will always be expenses and these donations will help provide much needed relief.
After the first 300 recurring donors, the next 100 donors will help with
special projects like rescuing cats from kill shelters,
providing them with
a Veterinarian check-up & testing and bringing them to our facility to be adopted out.
This is a project we are so eager to do but there have never been enough funds.
UPDATE: Despite our lack of funding, we went forward and rescued 16 cats from the Municipal Shelter
over the last 5-months.
That's almost one kitty every week!
These wonderful but foolish actions have now
drastically depleted our funds and we really need your help. We say "foolish" actions because we are not
in a financial position to afford to do this,
but the kitties needed help and we could not look the other way.
If we are ever so lucky to have more than 400 recurring donors, this will provide
a cushion for the Shelter
so we can add on more projects and programs that
will keep us growing in a positive direction.
I feel it is extremely important to acknowledge each and every recurring donor because
they will be supporting a wonderful cause and helping us to achieve our goals in helping the kitties.
We hope to watch our recurring donor list grow and grow!
--- We need 165 more recurring donors to reach our first desired goal ---
Thank you recurring donors!!
