We're a non-profit, licensed NO-KILL shelter and strive to provide a safe, healthy and comfortable no-cage place for the cats who live here. The only time a kennel is used is for quarantining sick or new cats who have yet to be checked out. We make our own pate using fresh, healthy i

ngredients and feed the cats good quality dry food. We have a few volunteers, but no foster homes. Either way, we can always use a helping hand!!

RicRac's family--Cecil Maynard, Benito Gietti and Melvina Purvis. Benny became the Mob Boss because his "hairline" reminded my of Al Capone. Cecil Maynard became the owner of
Benny's favorite Speakeasy. Melvina Purvis (FBI agent under cover at the Speakeasy) is named for Melvin Purvis,a real life FBI agent at that time)

Platypus Protected Feline Rescue Shelter, Inc.

Platypus Protected is a licensed and 501(c)(3) designated nonprofit, no-kill shelter located in Beatrice, Ne. We mostly have seniors, special needs and previously abused residents. A few are in large kennels (referred to as apartments here) but most have free run of the house. In addition to purchased food, I make some for added nutrition and fewer chemicals If you wish to donate we have fundraisers on FaceBook off and on throughout the year. You can also use PayPal (user name: [email protected]) or mail directly to the shelter at: 511 N. 10th St. Beatrice, Ne 68310 If you order from Amazon, you can use AmazonSmile and choose this shelter--Amazon will donate a percentage of your order total to us, We also have a Wish List on Amazon. com--the list is of items we use, the brand name is not important (for example, Friskies canned food is shown, but other brands can and will be used. The exception is on flea treatments--we have had horrific reactions to the very cheap brands and cannot use them) https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3OWWS9ZWW9Y73/ref=cm_go_nav_hz
