My Nonprofit Reviews

I started volunteering with Purr Partners (PPFR) in March of 2016 and I'm SO glad I did. It has been so nice and rewarding to give back by helping cats and kittens find their forever homes! My first year as a volunteer with PPFR was spent assisting with the weekend Adoptathons; however, by the summer of 2017 I thought I would try my hand at "temporary fostering." I was quickly given 4 kittens who all found homes quickly. I enjoyed the kittens and was happy to help them, but I realized fostering was harder than I expected emotionally. I wasn't sure if I should continue. Shortly after Lawanna, our president, called and told me there was a momma cat with 5 kittens who needed saving and she'd like for me to foster the momma cat. I quickly said yes as I figured one adult cat would be easier than four small kittens... I had no idea that "Angelica" now "Annie" would be my foster fail! Annie came to me and was very, very timid. She stayed hidden under the bed for almost a month and then one day...she decided she owned the place! She and my other cat, Sophie, immediately became friends. It came time for me to take Annie to an Adoptathon...and I just couldn't do it! She was MY cat and NO ONE was going to take her from me! I called Lawanna immediately and told her I was keeping her!! I'm sooo glad I did. She constantly brings me joy and has been a wonderful companion to her kitty sister, Sophie!

All in all - PPFR has brought me so much joy from volunteering to adopting my own!
