She was rescued from the streets she was dragging herself across the street when this woman seen her and got out and picked her up and brought her to the vet .

Bless her for saving her and caring so much for her, i don't even want to think about what would of happened if she didn't save her.

We hear about and see how cats are suffering needlessly on the streets , too many dying a horrible death!!!

Sad goodbye with a happy ending.

 

Sad goodbye with a happy ending. Heather is saying goodbye to Lola. Paws up goes out to Richard and Heather for rescuing Lola from the streets. When they found Lola her eye was out of her socket and she was starving. Her body was gashed open and bleeding. She was rushed to the vet and spent weeks recovering. They were able to save Lola's eye. What a great couple......

The Collectable Shop is 5 years old

From April 6th.

The Collectable Shop is 5 years old today. Check it out
http://www.puffypawskittyhaven.com/id299.html
Englewood tried to close the the shop down on the 10th day we were open back in 2009, by calling code enforcement. Yet we we improvise, adapted and overcame and we have raised a half million dollars since 2009, from the Shop office and the the shop itself. If it was not for the Collectable Shop their wold have been no - Puffy Paws. We would have had to close years ago. The items in the shop raises funds when we are open to collectors and dealers and not the general public these days.

I opened the shop to the public on Saturday and it was to no avail. So we're sticking by our guns and only open by appointment to collectors and dealers because the spend money and they know the value of the merchandise.

The last time a collector came to the shop he spent $680 for a cd collection we had and this brought the tires for the Cathouse on wheels.

On Saturday a person got mad at me because I wanted $30 for a rare heavy metal cassette collection of 100 cassette.

The shop office is the communication center to the kitty lovers of the world. I have become a "Social Media High Tech Beggar " it may not be pretty but it works.

Everyday we must ask for help from Cat Lovers from all over the world, so that we may keep continuing our mission in helping the special need & unwanted kitties under our care.Our On-Line - “ Just Ask - Hope You Can Help “ - campaign was launched three years ago and has raised over $500,000.00.

The Majority of The fund Are Donated By The Kitties Lovers Through Out The World.

Last month in March - 2014 - $17,599.71 was donated by the kitty lovers of the World via PayPal

Last year in 2013: $190,000 was donated on-line. $172,686.56 , via PayPal, by the kitty lovers of the world.

Just by asking for help when the kitties need it.

The priority of incoming funds are in this order, the kitties daily needs, vet care and operating expenses.

After that, funds are used for the maintenance and improvement of the Haven for the kitties.

The unwanted & special need kitties are blessed to have a world wide family that loves them ever so much. Thank You.

We came a long ways with the Shop and Puffy Paws is still here because of it.

We are cerebrating with no fanfare, no press release , its another day taking care of the kitties. The Puffy Paws way.

We are blessed.

Miss Ya Dad

Miss Ya Dad

My father would have been 80 years old on April 6th. He pasted away in 2006. I'm the man today because of his knowledge, his wisdom and his back of his hand. He was my father ,my teacher and my friend. He had faith in me as I graduated from High School when they wanted to throw me out, the last quarter of my Senior year. He guided me into AA with a simple sentence, The day I got home from the Army at 21 years old, I was going through the DT's , he said "Boy you do not miss the Army, your girlfriend, or Germany, your #$#%^ thirsty, why don't you get yourself a drink. As soon as those words rolled off his lips, my life had changed in a split second. All that I knew, all that I lived for went out the window of insanity .He asked me to try 3 AA meeting and I been sober ever since, my first one. Today I'm 30 years clean and sober.

He brought the Haven for Chrissy and I, now 200 special needs kitties have a home because of him. He was a man that commanded respect, he taught me to stand up for the underdog, with my word and fists and fight till the end for what is right and just.

He taught me to love all creatures great and small. He would been proud when we open the Collectible Shop, 5 years today on his birthday in his honor. He took me to auctions and flea markets, when I was 8, I got the picking, in my blood from him.

I hope I made you proud with what I did with my life D.

My life is service to others with and without fur, all because of you.

Love you and miss ya D.
Your son

My strength comes from above

 

My strength comes from above by Chrissy Kingston

Today is vet Wed.. We have Daisy getting a dental, she has leukemia and is 7 years old. Her sister Sunflower is getting a dental too, she has leukemia too. Morris is going in to be checked and getting his shots, he has aids and also has cancer of the mouth, so he is at the vet every week. He is still doing good, say a prayer for him, he will not be with us much longer, when it is time for him we have to let him go, we do not want any cat to ever suffer. The quality of their life is our number one priority here and always will be. Pepe is getting shots and blood work done , he is feeling under the weather, he is going on 15 years old and we have had him since he was 4 weeks old. We adore him and we have his sister too, Fluffy.

We can never thank you enough for all that you do for these cats, we are eternally grateful and humble always. Your kind and caring hearts have given these cats a wonderful life, the life i wish all animals could have and truly deserve , but do not ever get, they are being abandoned and left in shelters at a alarming rate. How sad is that, it just breaks my heart.

All animals deserve a life time commitment, our strength comes from some thing greater than ourselves. We do this everyday no matter what, their lives depend on us. These cats are innocent and their only crime is being homeless and it is not their fault, too many discarding them and not spaying and neutering them which adds to the over population problem that is already out of control.

Humans are failing them at a level that i just do not understand. People that are doing rescue are getting burnt out and want to give up, but if not for them , than who will care??

There are so many times i want to give up , but i never will , their lives depend on us and i can not fail them , it would be a death sentence for most of them because of their illnesses. My strength comes from above, these are Gods creatures and he has entrusted them to us to take care of them.

Love Chrissy and all Da Kitties

A Cat Carrie Tells A Story

 

I know how happy you must have been when you brought a new carrier for your new furry friend. 
Thinking back the joy that was in your heart the first time, you open the carrier up and let your brand new kitty roam in their new forever home. Years of comfort, years of joy was spent. Never thinking one day your best friend must leave your life leave to call Puffy Paws - Home. 

As you walked up to me with your kitty in the carrier ,I saw the tears in your eyes and the pain in your soul. You must realize when you could not longer care or provide a home, you did the most unselfish act a mother can do, give up your furry child so that they can have a fur-ever home. When you left ,your heart was at ease cause you saw the life that your kitty was going to have. 


The kitties are Kings and Queens at Puffy Paws and God put us on this planet to talk care of those who can not take care of themselves and that is what we do every day.

We love, we laugh , we share our home with your furry friend, providing and seeing to all their needs. Your kitty is safe as can be and with the power of Mad kitty Love and the kitty lovers around the world, they never go with out.

Please  go to the kitties facebook page directly everyday because
our fears have been confirmed. The social media giant has announced plans to drastically reduce the amount of content seen by users who have “Liked” a business, so much that only 1 or 2 percent of subscribers will see a given post in their newsfeed. This means Puffy Paws.

In order to combat this we will be using and updating on other Social Media's in the next few days besides Facebook to create awareness about our plight.

Puffy Paws Kitties.

This Is Is What The Local & National Media Has Been Saying About Puffy Paws Kitty Haven.
 " Puffy Paws is a Taj Mahal For Kitties ".Dee Anne Roberts WENG Radio Host - All About Pets 
" The Cat’s Meow of Nonprofit Organizations"
Alissa Wolf from about.com

 Josh Taylor from ABC 7 News has called Puffy Paws Kitty Haven
" A Bed & Breakfast For Cats ".

Tami Patzer 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.

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.
