2016
Mince Meat was saved from death row.He is still a kitten.
Why Are The Kitties On A Premium Cat Food ?
We switched the kitties diet due to necessity
to a premium cat food, years ago. We had them
on Friskies. it was not working out anymore for the kitties. What eventually happened was Friskies was like Chinese food, Taco Bell to the kitties.They
will eat and eat,70 pounds a day and not get filled up. With being a Cat Hospice for Special need
and unwanted kitties we had to change their diet immediately.
In reality it was never cheaper having the kitties
on on a diet that was not a premium one.
At
that time we were going through 22 bags of Tidy Cats a day because the Friskies was going right through the kitties. Now since they been off the Friskies, we are using 12 bags
of litter a day for 200 kitties. A savings of
$22,958.50 a year. Please do not forget a healthy diet meant less sick kitties at the vet through out the years since the
change over. Puffy Paws Kitty Haven buys the cat
food once a week from the wholesaler Phillips Pet Food & Supplies
Phillips Pet Food & Supplies has been
a family owned and operated business since 1938.
Phillips is the premier pet food and pet supply distributor with
12 distribution centers and it is C.O.D every Friday. Puffy Paws Kitty Haven saves over $10,000.00 a year buying the kitty food wholesale instead of retail like we used to.
So it was never cheaper having the kitties on on a diet that was not a premium one.
A combined total saving
of $32,958.50 per year.
This was the best
decision to make in order to continue our mission here at Puffy Paws Kitty Haven in keeping the
special need kitties and unwanted kitties under our care in the best health possible.
As you know Puffy Paws cares for kitties with feline leukemia, FIV, feral cats, unadoptable
kitties, one eye cats, senior kitties, kitties that do not use their litter box, abused kitties, cats
with neurological disorders, abused kitties and more - basically unwanted and unadoptable kitties that would be
euthanized elsewhere, and the premium cat food, fits all their nutritional needs.
With being a Cat Hospice for Special need and unwanted kitties
we had to change their diet in order to have the kitties in the best ultimate health.
The FPL Power Bill $986.48 is paid. $1001.28 total ,with the late fee &
Western union fee.
We paid it at Publix, via Western Union,on Tuesday evening.
We can never thank you enough for taking such great care of the kitties at Puffy Paws.
Chrissy and I can never do what we do, for the 2nd Chance special needs kitties, that no one wanted
or could care for. Without you, the kitties never would have known, the 2nd chance of life,that they enjoy every single
day at Puffy Paws.
Each and everyone of you, are the true voice of the
voiceless Thank You Mad Kitty Love
WE BEG
OF YOU IF YOU CAN HELP IN ANYWAY
WE BEG
OF YOU IF YOU CAN HELP IN ANYWAY Chrissy and I are terrified because
we know what is going to happened If the power bill is not
paid.
FPL will schedule a truck to turn off the power.
Their is no law in Florida to prevent then
from doing this with the 200 special needs and sick kitties ,we have living at
the Haven. FPL turned off the power on us six years
ago and they do it from the roof of the Haven where the pole meets our connection.
So we can not turn the power back on from the meter.
IF WE CAN NOT PAY THE POWER BILL Once
the power is shut off , the cats do not move
around the Haven, they lay down on the floor, we scramble for flashlights ,so we
can see. Chrissy will check on the kitties that are sick.
We
are powerless until the FPL bill is paid and that does not mean the power will be
turned on. It could be the next day.
We pray that we can raise the funds in time. We have no where to turn.
Yet you have the power to advert
this tragedy today. Please help if you can and please donate
what your heart and budget can afford.
Your loving donations will give us enough funds to pay the
power bill.
Your donation today
will go a long ways in securing the kitties daily future.
In these hard economical
times, we all know the personal sacrifices each and everyone of
you make when you donate to the kitties at Puffy Paws Kitty
Haven and for this we will always be eternally
grateful.
Please only give what your heart & budget can afford.
Thank You Rick

OF YOU IF YOU CAN HELP IN ANYWAY
WE BEG
OF YOU IF YOU CAN HELP IN ANYWAY Chrissy and I are terrified because we
know what is going to happened If the power bill is not paid. As soon as Wednesday, FPL
will sent out a truck to turn off the power.
Their is no law in Florida to prevent then from doing this with the
200 special needs and sick kitties ,we have living at the Haven.
They will not survive
in the Haven without power because the temperatures will rise over 100.
FPL turned off the power on us six years ago and they
do it from the roof of the Haven where the pole meets our connection.
So we can not turn the power
back on from the meter.
IF WE CAN NOT PAY THE POWER BILL
Once
the power is shut off as the temperature rises, the cats do not move
around the Haven, they lay down on the floor, we scramble for flashlights ,so we can see. Chrissy
will check on the kitties that are sick. As the hours passes on, problems
will arise with the cats.
We
are powerless until the FPL bill is paid and that does not mean the power will be turned on.
It could be the next day.
For some of the kitties that will be to late with the brutal
temperatures in the Haven.
They will be heat sick and we pray none will pass over.
At this point ,we hit the day we feared the most. The day we could not take care of the kitties
and thus have to call for outside help to take them in a facility will power and air.
As you
know with so many unadoptable kitties and being a cat hospice the majority of the cats at Puffy
Paws will be put down at the hands of others. The first to go will be the feline leukemia kitties.
We pray that we can raise the funds in time. We have no where to turn.
Yet
you have the power to advert this tragedy today. Please help if you can and please donate
what your heart and budget can afford.
Your loving donations will give us enough funds to pay the power
bill.
If we fail at raising the funds needed for the power
bill, there will be no other option but to close down. What choice
would we have?
The kitties can not survive in the Haven without power, in this record
breaking heat we are having down here in Florida.
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.
You have the power to avert this tragedy today.
Your donation today will go a long
ways in securing the kitties daily future.
In these hard economical times, we all
know the personal sacrifices each and everyone of you make when you donate to the kitties at
Puffy Paws Kitty Haven and for this we will always be eternally
grateful.
Please only give what your heart & budget can afford.

ADOPTIONS Through out the years it has been a long hard road in finding the kitties "Fur-Ever' homes.We
have been doing all we can do in finding homes
for the adoptable kitties under our care, as you shall read.
In the Spring of 2007 - Puffy Paws Kitty Haven started its adoption program. Since than we have found over 350 kitties
"Fur-Ever" homes ! Before the Fall of
2009 times were good. We had over 350 adoptions in
a very short amount of time by hosting a Open House three times a week at the Haven.
Inviting prefect strangers into their home so the adoptable kitties may
find a “Fur - Ever” home to qualify applicants. 350 did ! Rick was making a great name for
Puffy Paws and raising funds in the community
while at the same time, Rick could not believe
the high euthanasia rate of adoptable pets, corruption and the
misappropriations of funds that where suppose to go for the animals
but instead went into high administrative cost and huge salaries
by the other animal organizations in the area. All protected by a good old boy network.
Rick spoke out for the voiceless animals that could not With hard facts
in hand all backed up by government documents. Rick contacted the
local newspaper , government agencies, wrote letters to the editors
, that were denied, But then when Rick aided in bringing the news of the alleged corruption to a Fort Meyers TV station, payback was
inevitable. Rick received a phone call 10 days before code enforcement
came out to shut Puffy Paws down, that the good old
boy network was looking into calling code enforcement to shut the Haven down.
Not caring if the cats lived or died.
They called code to shut the Haven down back in Nivember 2009. So now folks can not adopt straight
from the Haven. But that has never stop us trying to find the adoptable cats fur-ever homes.

FIV, feral
cats, unadoptable kitties, one eye cats, senior kitties,
