From the PPCR Board of Directors
Another year has come to pass and we ended 2024 adopting out 173 cats and kittens. Considering the continuing changes and issues we encountered, we did well! First and foremost, we, the PPCR Board of Directors, want to express our heartfelt gratitude to every single donor, volunteer, foster, and general supporter throughout our entire community. Your time, compassion and support, allows us to care for these cats and kittens, find them homes, and save lives!
So what’s happening? Our last few years show that amid surging inflation and rising economic concerns, more pets are being given up, abandoned and in turn our actual adoptions have been dropping each year since 2020. We get it! When people struggle to afford basic necessities due to inflation, they may be forced to surrender their pets to rescues, leading to an overflow of cats in the rescue world. With economic hardship, fewer people are able to adopt pets, causing a backlog of cats waiting for homes. Inflation also impacts the cost of food, veterinary care, and other necessities for the owner and the rescue organizations, putting further strain on everyone.
Can’t donate or adopt? You can still help! How? Donation of your time and expertise is priceless to an organization like us. We need volunteers: Adult and Kitten Fosters, Word Press Guru, Social Media Engagement Expert and more! Fill out a volunteer application now! https://purebredsplus.org/volunteer/ Join our great team and make a difference!
As we move forward into 2025 we want to reiterate that the heart of our mission has always been a deep and abiding love for every cat and kitten we rescue. We are dedicated to finding warm, compassionate forever homes where they can not only survive, but thrive—places filled with love and understanding. Our goal is to ensure that each adoption blossoms into a joyful and lasting bond, bringing happiness to both the adopter and their new feline companion.
In closing, every cat deserves a second chance—a chance to experience care, patience, and the warmth of a family. This is what drives us every day, but we can't do it alone. Because of you, we can provide love, hope, and the promise of a brighter future to cats in need. Together, we are changing lives, creating second chances, and making miracles happen—one precious life at a time. We greatly appreciate each and every one of you and you are an essential part of our rescue family and our journey.
Warm regards,
PPCR Board of Directors
