TOGETHER SHAPING THE FUTURE ONE DAY
AT A TIME Crunching numbers over here at Puffy
Paws. Due to the hard economic times and at the same time having the kitties on a premium diet, which
saves in vet bills and daily litter cost. We just dropped our daily cost for the kitties per day from
$275 to $225. A savings of $18,250 a year. Thank you for standing by us as we do everything
to keep the doors open at Puffy Paws Kitty Haven.

the loving home of Chrissy & Rick Kingston.

Stephen Baumann from the Englewood Sun Herald wrote
- You might think the Kingston household is a crowded, purring, furry mess. It's not.The house is big enough, and the cats
small enough, that everyone's got more than enough room to stretch out, which is how cats spend much of their day anyhow.

Only by asking for help when we need it, is the only way
we make it at a day at a time.
THE HAVEN
Puffy Paws is set
up to handle the different medical concerns the kitties have by separating them into
their very own living quarters.
The 2200
sq foot " Haven Home " has their healthy adoptable kitties,
andtheir permanent residence who have physical,
emotional and behavioral problems.
Their 2nd
building is 800 sq foot and 400 sq foot of it is solely use for the kitties
with
feline leukemia, which we have nick named " The Kitty Angel
Club " because all the precious fur-babies
are living angels who are living out their
lives.
It Cost Over $11,000 a month to run Puffy Paws Kitty Haven. $15
hour every single hour of the month.
The Majority
of The fund Are Donated By The Kitties Lovers Through Out The World.
Last

Very Special Need Kitties See The Light of Tomorrow.
IN CLOSING
Your loving donations

If we fail at raising the funds needed
every day for the kitties under our care, there will be no other option
but to close down. What choice would we have?
An entire cat hospice will be wiped out and only painful and sad
stories will be told because we could not round up the worldwide
awareness and financial help these beautiful cats deserve.

this tragedy today.

Did A Little There Would Be Little Left
To Do !

times, we all know the personal sacrifices

you donate to the kitties

for this we will always be eternally grateful.
Please only give what your heart & budget can afford.
Thank you for all the help in this time of need. Which is now.
It is getting tougher and tougher each day for me. I spend my day stressing over the cats daily needs.
I really would appreciate
any help for the sake of the cats.
I devoted my entire life to these cats. I have given up a normal life for these cats,so
they can have a life.
Do not think I don't what to give up, at times.
Words of encouragement, loyalty and devotion
from others gives me the strength to go on.
It's hard when I'm short on my supplies for the cats that
is why I'm asking for your help because they deserve the best of care,
that I can give them,without you I can not do it
Love Chrissy and all the cats from their Purry little
hearts.
Especially from Duffy.Smores & Tuffy - The 3 cats that never
gave up
