I have known Project Purr for over 20 year, as a volunteer and citizen of Santa Cruz County. It is an amazing organization run totally by dedicated volunteers. Project Purr rescues cats and kittens in Santa Cruz County and also provide free education and help to people who want to rescue feral cats in their neighborhood. They provide funding for free spay and neuter for these cats. Additionally, their Barn Cat program has given a new life to many cats who are not ready to be house cats. These “barn cats” provide invaluable service to keep properties free of vermin. Here’s a picture of our rat catcher extraordinaire, Priscilla, who came from the barn cat program. She is also an affectionate love bug after 5 years on the property.

I needed a trap on short notice (having found a dumped kitten running around my neighborhood, clearly hungry and terrified). Lynne called me back right away, I got the trap, got the kitten, kitten rescued/adopted out by Project Purr. Quick action on everyone's part saved the day. This is not the first time PP has stepped forward for me, and for the animals, it's just the most recent example.
