""Dear Kitty Lovers Of The World:

With all of the heart and soul we can muster, there is no easier, softer way to say this:
We need an influx of working capital to continue with our mission at Puffy Paws Kitty Haven. Our options are limited at this time but there is hope on the horizon, and that is you.
 
It now cost $250 dollars a day for the kitties daily supplies, vet care is reaching $1000 -$2000 a month and the monthly operating expenses is around 3,000 dollars !
 
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.

You have the power to avert this tragedy today.

Your donations will give us enough funds to take care of the kitties and working monthly capital to fund the entire operation at Puffy Paws for 2 months and put much needed funds in reserves to guarantee the success of Puffy Paws Kitty Haven future.

If your heart and budget can afford it, please donate $10 today.
If you would like to donate more or less, please scroll down.
Any amount will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

Mad Kitty Love To You,

Rick, Chrissy, & Da Kitties

WHY HELP ? ASK CATHERINE:
 
Why I Help Puffy Paws... Every day I come across animal rescues who need help. Sometimes, it's a temporary crisis; sometimes it's an ongoing struggle. I usually do whatever I can, whether it's giving a little money, sharing their story or even making some phone calls. When I read about Puffy Paws a couple of years ago, I just couldn't believe their circumstances.
 
Due to a crackdown by code enforcement, suddenly one person had to care for 200+ cats all by herself. And to make it worse, adoptions would have to take place off-site. With Rick busy fundraising and Chrissy cleaning to exhaustion, how could they possibly facilitate adoptions.
 
I realized that they were going to be permanently stuck in this nightmare unless people like me dug deep to keep them from closing. If Puffy Paws closes, the majority of cats won't find new homes. Who wants a cat that pees all over the place. Who wants a cat that needs medicine four times a day.
 
Rick and Chrissy are their only hope. I still help other rescues, but I give more time and money to Puffy Paws because they just plain need more. Please do everything you can to keep them going.
 
Catherine

A Reporter from ABC 7 News has called Puffy Paws Kitty Haven " A Bed & Breakfast For Cats ". Another reporter from the Gasparilla Gazette, wrote " Puffy Paws Kitty Haven is immaculate and if all the cats hid under the bed, anyone entering the home would have no clue cats even lived there.
 
We are set up to handle the different medical concerns the kitties have by separating them into their very own living quarters.
 
We have the 2200 sq foot " Haven Home " which has our healthy adoptable kitties, and our permanent residence who have physical, emotional and behavioral problems. 
 
Our 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.
 
Puffy Paws was founded by Rick & Chrissy Kingston in 2006. With very limited support from the Community they live in, each and everyday they do the work of 20 people so the special need and unwanted kitties under their care may see the light of day. 
 
Please read & watch their amazing story in how the forces of evil can never trump the true love for which they have for each other and the special needs & unwanted kitties under their care !!!!!

PET PULSE NEWS VIDEO

Since the airing of the Video in October 2008 on Pet Pulse and being on the NEW YORK POST web site.The kitties have doubled along with the daily cost and we now have 3,000 dollars in monthly operating expenses. Puffy Paws did obtain our 501(c) (3) non-profit from the IRS. All donations are tax duct-able

In the small town of Englewood Florida, which Puffy Paws resides in, early on the Kingston's found out most town folks pick their rescues like a NFL football team. They pick one team and have disdain for the rest.

Some local folks have tried to shut Puffy Paws Kitty Haven down, when power, money and prestige is involved their will always be dirty deeds abound.

In 2008, haters called Sarasota Code Enforcement. The county banned all adoptions, surrenders, and volunteers to the Haven. What these people did was put the burden of taking care of the kitties on the shoulders of one small woman with the inner strength of a 1000 men - Chrissy Kingston.
 
Chrissy works in pain everyday with her rheumatoid arthritis.She is under a Doctor's care but it is getting worst as the days goes on. She suffers in silence on most days.
 
Yet Chrissy makes the best of everyday and gives it her all by working long hours. Up to 16 hours on most days.

Than again in 2009, haters called Code Enforcement to shut down a Thrift Shop the Kingston's open to suporrt the kitties

Jan07116174.tmp/ppmwrd.JPG
 
All of this did not stop the Kingston's. Now with a grueling schedule and the stress of raising funds and taking care of the kitties, the Kingston go on only by the grace of God and the charity of the kitty lovers through out the World.

The kitties need your help like never before.

Only through the power of your love can these very special need kitties under our care see the light of tomorrow.

Jan07116174.tmp/guide.JPG

A Very important Messaage From Chrissy Kingston:
Co- Founder of Puffy Paws Kitty Haven

 

 

Dear Friends of The Kitties.

 

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
