Meet two of the area's crazy cat ladies and learn about what they are doing to assist their feline friends on this episode of Vallarta Life, Live It.

"My blood pressure is lower because I have so many kitties," says Pamela Sullivan, PuRR Project, "I think your life is just not complete without a cat and it seems like the more you have, the happier you get."

"Why am I a cat lady?" says Marilyn Khan, PuRR Project, "How could you not, just look at them. They are wonderful, mystical creatures and they captured my heart."

PuRR Project is a no kill feline shelter which is located about 45 minutes north of downtown Puerto Vallarta. At present they have about 150 cats and kittens. The purpose of the organization is to save as many of the homeless and abused cats on Vallarta's streets as possible. Workers hope to find them good homes. If they are not adoptable they live in relative comfort on the ranch for the rest of their lives.

"One of the reasons we love having people come out to the ranch is so they can sit in a chair, pet the cats, socialize with them, get them used to be held and being around humans because a lot of them, their only experience with humans has not been positive," says Marilyn, "when we adopt out a cat, they are spayed or neutered, have all their shots, all their vaccinations, they've been treated for worms, fleas, ear mites and whatever else, it is a healthy cat and very well adjusted."

"It costs a lot of money to run a shelter, especially one like this," says Pamela, "each one of these cats that lives in the yard costs about $100 to $300 USD per year and many of these cats live at the shelter for 10, 15 and up to 20 years, so you can do the math, it is very expensive. It costs us almost $40,000 a year to run the ranch completely."
