Attention Young Junkies. Don’t you remember who you once was ? Close your eyes and look into your soul. Do you see that young child that you were not to long ago. Sitting in 6th Grade Homeroom. Bright eyes and wishing upon the stars. Dreaming big of who you were going to be when you grow up.
Never thought you will grow up to be a full fledge junkie. Your life wasting away before your eyes. Its hard to look in the mirror with sunken checks and scabs all over you face. Yet the drugs calls out to you never telling you your final fate. To die young or sit in a cell doing many years of time.
The fight can be over today - just surrender to win.
Reach your hand out for help in the rooms of NA and AA. Their will be someone to love you till you can love yourself. Hope will be back in your life. The key for the soul. Unlock those dreams which seems so far away.
Today your fate is in your hands. Just remember some junkies do not hit bottom till they are dead. If I did it so can you.
I came in the rooms at 21 and I have been clean and sober since 1-14 - 84. 28 years at a day at a time and still crazy and having fun after all these years .
Godspeed to you all.
Rick “ The King of Cats” Kingston
Dear Friends of the Kitties.
Thank you for your support in 2011. Without you
Puffy Paws will not be standing and for this we can not thank you enough.
Unfortunately it is business as usual over here at Puffy Paws.Today is . It is do or die for our our fund raising endeavors. The Thrift Shop Rent for January is now due ($420).Our office is located in the Thrift Shop with the Internet.... The Internet and The Thrift Shop is our life blood in raising donations. http://www.puffypawskittyhaven.com/
We need the Thrift Shop & the internet to continue with our mission here at Puffy Paws Kitty Haven.
If you can find it your heart and budget to help , please do..
With out the Thrift Shop & internet our whole entire fund-raising activities will come to a dead halt..
Our options are limited at this time, but there is hope on the horizon and that is you. If we fail at raising the funds for the Thrift Shop rent & internet ,were do we raise the funds needed to save the kitties at a day at a time ?
Please help if you can and please share.
Thank You
Rick & Chrissy & Da Kitties
Mad Kitty Mob Love - As you may know I do not get spend a lot of time with the kitties but that will be changing this year. We are making a second office at the Haven, so I can get my night time work done at home with the kitties and Chrissy, Instead of at the Thrift Shop office at night.
Last night I hung out at the Haven and with all my trails and tribulation of running Puffy Paws it was all... worth it getting mad kitty mob love from the little fur babies. Head bumps, love bites , hinny rubs were all in order !!!!!
Locally I'm a very misunderstood man in what I do for the unwanted kitties .In my heart the kitties all know what I do for them.
Last night was such a beatifull night it calmed all the turmoil in my soul..... I’m truly blessed and thank you for giving the kitties and Chrissy a life like no other.
There are many changes coming up in 2012 and you will see it all !!!!
Happy New Year and God bless !!!!!!
The Adventures of " The World Greatest Cathouse ". Last night I had a epiphany. The surge of energy, a vision that I have been working on for years , was tremendous. It all came together last night.
Now it all comes down to blood , sweat and tears. To abandoned the emotional roller coaster of previous obstacles, To realize Chrissy and I walk a human path only guided by the spirit of light-power and love.
I have put all my skills together to run Puffy Paws Kitty Haven.
I'm still a sharp - tongue talking, 10th Ward Yankee, that has stood up against anyone who has tried to harm the kitties and my family.
I’m not a door mat . I have expose corruption , cronyism.
I’m the voice of those who can not speak for themselves.
I have kept half of the criminals in Englewood out of jail and prison by staying open late at the Thrift Shop so they can do their Community Service hours.
I may be a bastard at times but I’m not a cheap bastard.
I have helped many people in the Community that were down and out.
Maybe I’m crazy but you have to be, to do what I’m doing with my life in saving the unwanted kitties and helping the undesirables folks of the community !!!!
Who the hell I’m to judge !!!!!
That’s the good citizen of the Community to do that !!!!!!
If you need to call me the crazy catman go ahead -
Stick and Stones - Baby !!!!!
What counts is how I live my life !!!!!!
And the proof is in the pudding.
I talk the talk and walk the walk !!!!!
Do you ?????????????
Rick’s Rants - When you do the right thing. When you live from your heart. When you share the good times and the bad times. When you put the kitties needs first. When you talk the talk and walk the walk. The whole world notices.
Here is why !!!!!
Puffy Paws has over 6000 sq feet for our total operation, at two separate locations.
...
We have two brick and mortar building for the kitties. AKA -The World's Greatest Cat House.
We have the 2000 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 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.
We have a 350 sq feet Outdoor Enclosure, The Purrfect fence.
We have the Donation And Storage Center - AKA - The Thrift Shop AKA - Englewood's Strangest Store. Inside & Out = 3200 sq
We never have to raise funds for salaries or high administrative cost in the name of animals.
We do not get paid !!! We do not have to entice folks to donate by throwing fancy parties, events, golf tournaments, wine tasting contest or the such.
You won't get your picture in the newspaper or in the high society column, or a sumptuous meal and a cocktail hour!!!!
When you donate .What you get is a warm fuzzy knowing you are directly responsible for saving the lives of the special need and unwanted kitties.
Your donation dollars go to the kitties daily needs

And the operation expenses of running Puffy Paws Kitty Haven.

Enough Said !!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: You all knew this anyway !!!!! MOL
I just could not be bad.
I just pointed out all the good we do.
Back up by facts…
Sometimes I need to beat our own drum !!!!!!
Rick
I think Puffy Paws Kitty Haven is so special and unique. We have Catherine our right hand lady busting her butt for the kitties on-line. We have Chrissy and I and a brunch of rag tagged brunch of criminals turning their lives around doing Community Service hours.
We have the greatest Thrift Shop in the World !!!! Englewood's Strangest Store. And we are The World's Greatest Cathouse. Most of all w...e have love from, you all, the kitties lovers around the World. While the other groups and small minded Town folks, in the area have to bad mouth Puffy Paws and spread rumors Believe me it all gets back to me. I have eyes and ears every where.
They fight over the same donation dollar in this small Town of ours. We left this Town spiritually years ago, but graphically we stay here for the unwanted kitties of the Community. We are bigger and better than ever and we can never do what we do without your help.
We hope we made you all proud in 2011 !!!!!!!!!!!
