PLEASE HELP AND XPOST!
The cold ugly truth hurts. If I fail in raising the funds for the FPL bill a whole Cat Hospice will be wiped out and only painful and sad stories will be told because we as "Kitty lovers' could not round up the World Wide awareness and financial help these beautiful cats deserve. 3 weeks ago i was so powerless in getting the power turned back on. I have seen what will happen with my own eyes. We can not let this happen.

THE WORLD"S GREATEST CATHOUSE

Englewood, Florida's "World's Greatest Cathouse," Puffy Paws Kitty Haven is a 501(c) (3) non-profit, no-kill cat hospice specializing in providing quality and loving care to 230 special needs cats.

It is run by Rick & Chrissy Kingston. All the kitties live with them in their residential home.

They care for kitties with feline leukemia, FIV, blind kitties, feral cats, epileptic kitties, kitties with only one eye, senior kitties, kitties that do not use their litter box, kitties with thyroid conditions and more special need cases.

Puffy Paws have 100 adoptable kitties that need homes.

Puffy Paws serves a unique need as a hospice for special needs kitties, that would be euthanized elsewhere.

With declining donations and increasing costs, the mighty Cathouse is in danger of closing this week because they are behind on the Florida Power and Lights Power Bill and other operating expenses.

Florida Power and lights have and will turn the power off in the unbearable Florida heat and temperature will go over 90 degrees in a mater of hours in the Haven.

Now FPL is demanding payment.

$2570 is owed as of this writing.

The kitties can not survive in the unbearable Florida heat without AC.

If this happens to Puffy Paws the only humane choice will to call for help from outside agencies.

If this happens the fate of the special need kitties will surely be death at the hands of others.

230 special needs kitties lives are at sake right now.

The survival of the kitties at Puffy Paws Kitty Haven depends upon the kind hearts of the kitties lovers from all over the World.

Here is the situation and why they are in it.

Each and everyday they have to raise $250 for the kitties daily needs.

Puffy Paws does this by asking for help from their donors and kitty lovers from the social networks such as facebook and Care2 and they rasie funds that come in through thier Thrift Shop.

No one at Puffy Paws gets paid or takes a salary.

All funds that come in are used to pay for the kitties daily needs and Vet care and what is left over they struggle to pay the operating expenses.

The 230 kitties at Puffy Paws Use Everyday

WET CAT FOOD * Friskies - 13 oz Cans - Turkey Dinner - 4 cases $67.20

DRY CAT FOOD Publixs Dry Food - Two 18 pound bag - $23.98

TIDY CAT LITTER - 22 bags / 660 pounds a day - $120.00

SUPPLIES - Bleach,, Paper Towels, Garbage Bags - $25.00

They need to get a least a couple weeks ahead this week with the funds for the kitties daily immedially.

FLORIDA POWER & LIGHTS

Puffy Paws has two AC units at the Haven.

One is an old one and one is a new one that was put in two years ago and was sub-par for the Haven. This is why are bills are high.

Puffy Paws failed to raise the $1269 that was needed to pay FPL ( Florida Power & Lights ) ,on April 22nd , for the electric that was used since Jan 1, 2011.

Florida Power and Lights demanded a deposit of $1301 they could not cover also.

In total Puffy Paws owes Florida Power and lights $2570.

A final disconnection notice was received.

If Puffy Paws does not pay them immediately FPL will be send their crew and truck to turn the power of at the pole

When the power goes off and there is no AC, temps will raise into the nineties in a very short amount of time in the Haven.

FPL already shut the power off at the pole three weeks ago, it was a cool day and temps got up to 78- 80 degrees.

It took FPL four hours to get it turned back on, after they gave them a deposit check for $1300 to open a new account.

Which was not covered because of the cost of the daily needs in taking care of the kitties.

Now FPL is demanding payment.

The kitties can not survive in the unbearable Florida heat today without AC.

As was stated : If this happens to Puffy Paws the only humane choice will to call for help from outside agencies.

If this happens the fate of the special need kitties will surely be death at the hands of others.

WHAT YOU CAN DO.

Please donate only what your heart and budget can afford.
