Meet Rose: A Brave Little Kitten With a Big Challenge
North Havn, CT • The Purr Project, Inc.
Rose is a sweet 5-month-old kitten that was surrendered to The Purr Project rescue with her mom and 5 siblings. While the rest of her family is healthy, Rose has been diagnosed with a 3/6 heart murmur. She’s already had bloodwork done, but now she needs a cardiac workup, including an echocardiogram, to understand what’s going on with her little heart. This vital care can cost upwards of $2,000—a big expense for this rescue that is dealing with many cases, but one they’re determined to cover so Rose can grow up to be healthy and strong. Despite her condition, Rose is just like any other kitten—curious, playful, and full of life. She deserves the chance to run, play, and live without health fears hanging over her. 🐾 Will you please help Rose get the heart care she needs? Every donation, no matter the size, brings her closer to the happy, healthy future she deserves. Thank you! Update 10/28/25 Rose is scheduled for her echocardiogram next week to ensure her health and safety of her spay. Like her siblings, she's ready to be loved with a family of her own. If you can spare even $5 to help her get the care she needs we'll be very grateful 🌹

Whitey & Lily: A Second Chance at the Golden Years
North Havn, CT • The Purr Project, Inc.
Whitey and Lily are a bonded brother and sister, both 9 years old, and their journey began when a kind family rescued them as tiny kittens, only to place them in another home. Sadly, when they were 4 years old, they were returned. Years later, the original family took them back, but overwhelmed with too many cats, could only keep them confined to a bathroom. Though their hearts were in the right place, Lily and Whitey suffered neglect that left them with serious health issues. Today, they are finally safe with The Purr Project—but they need extensive medical care. Lily has lived her entire life with a chronic eye infection and just underwent an eye enucleation. Despite it all, she runs around like a kitten again, full of love for people. Whitey has severe dental disease, harsh lung sounds, and an enlarged thyroid. He’ll need chest X-rays before his dental surgery, as well as ongoing medical care. Still, he rolls over for belly rubs and purrs with gratitude for every bit of affection. But the cost of their surgeries, X-rays, and treatments is overwhelming for this small rescue. Will you help them give Whitey and Lily the care they desperately need? Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference for this sweet brother-sister duo. Update 9/19/25 Whitey had his x-rays done, and they found he has Asthma and will require medications, including an inhaler. Update 10/14/25 We are saddened to share that Lily has crossed the rainbow bridge after surgeons found an abdominal mass. She will always have a special place in the rescue and her loving foster's heart. However, Whitey is still fighting despite being diagnosed with feline asthma. He is on medications and waiting to have his dental work done. His breathing needs to be stabilized first. Otherwise, he is doing well in foster care. Thank you for your continued support, as the bills for these two are coming at an overwhelming cost. Update 10/28/25 Thanks to generous donors like you, Whitey is scheduled for his dental work next week. Thank you for your continued support! Update 11/26/25 Whitey's dental procedure went great! Please continue to show your support for this sweet boy as his gums heal. We hope he can be put up for adoption soon!
Spay/Neuter Kittie
10 Little Lives, One Big Need
North Havn, CT • The Purr Project, Inc.
Meet Ocho—a brilliantly cute, soft, and playful little boy with a unique “8” marking on his head that earned him his special name. He’s sweet, gentle, and full of love. Anyone would be lucky to have him. But Ocho isn’t alone—he’s one of 10 kittens in The Purr Project's care who all need to be spayed or neutered and have essential vaccinations before they can find their forever homes. These surgeries and vaccines are essential, not only for their health and safety but to prevent more unwanted litters and ensure they have the best start to life possible. Right now, the cost of vetting so many kittens at once is a heavy lift for The Purr Project rescue as they handle many cats at one time. They could desperately use your help. Will you donate today to help Ocho and his nine siblings get the care they need so they can go on to bring joy, love, and companionship to their future families? Thank you for your continued support. Update 10/31/25 Thanks to all the generosity, The Purr Project has been able to spay the three mommas, neuter two of the males, and spay a seven month old.😺
