People United for Rescue and Rehabilitation - PURR West Virginia! Rescue Is to take an unwanted feline and help them heal in three areas of life - Social, Emotional and Physical, and place them with their forever family. It can take alot of time and resources, but is well worth the effort. Resources and educational materials are an essential part of support for the adopters, and enhance the enjoyment of responsible adoption situations. We are available for the adoptive family throughout the cats lifetime, and encourage famillies to call anytime with questions and updates on their cats. Although we know we can't take in all the unwanted cats and kittens in our area, we can help others to resc ue by relaying knowledge and resources that we have learned of. Helping the community to rescue and rehabilitate is another of PURR West Virginia's priorities. Every Cat and Kitten rescued makes a difference.

Rehabilitation sometimes takes a while. Abandoned kittens and cats are frightened, sometimes injured and usually sick and parasite ridden. They are almost always distrustful. Abandoned cats and kittens have special needs, PURR West Virginia is meeting those needs. We believe that rehabilitation is the key to successful rescue. ~Socializing the cats and kittens with kids, adults, and other animals, is essential to successful rehabilitation. The Cats at PURR are exposed to this socialization and evaluated as they progress. Some cats will never be completely socialized, we try to find homes for them too, with this limitation in mind. ~Creating a safe, Home-like environment to learn or re-learn to trust and cohabitate. Research by large shelters throughout the US has given us the knowledge that free-range housing, with home-type furnishings, human contact can differentiate between a well adjusted adoptable cat and one that continues to exhibit nervous and traumatized behaviors. We are focused on giving the babes that personal attention. ~Health Rehabilitation including spaying/neutering, medical treatments for common illnesses and infections, vaccinations and ongoing parasite prevention and treatment, is an expensive but necessary part of rescue. PURR West Virginia strives to provide healthcare to all our rescued cats and kittens. We need your help and support.

Our Mission Is to assist the area in rescue and rehabilitation of cats and kittens. We also are enhancing awareness of rescue and rehabilitation issues and needs through education and by example of this grass roots effort. We believe that by stressing the importance of being responsible pet owners and advocates, we can change the reality of felines everywhere. We are developing a new course of action for rescue and rehabilitation. We are seeking a new approach to the population issues that plagueour shelters and rescues, and believe the misuse of euthanasia as a population control is a thing of the past. We are making the world a more humane place, one kitty at a time.
