This holiday season, PURRR Adoption + Sanctuary (PURRR) is proud to launch its Sponsor-A-Cat year-end giving campaign, and committed supporters, Jon and Helaine Ayers, are leading the way with a $250,000 dollar-for-dollar matching grant to amplify the power of community.
Founded in 2018, PURRR Adoption + Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to transform cats’ lives one PURRR at a time, through rescue, adoption, and spay + neuter initiatives that help reduce overpopulation and enrich the human-feline connection. PURRR provides a safe haven and promotes responsible pet ownership, giving cats and their companions a better future.
Monetary donations will go further during December with a generous grant provided by Jonand Helaine Ayers. Through December 29, donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $250,000, doubling each act of kindness. Proceeds will support PURRR’s operations, providing the daily medical attention, nourishment, safety, and love these cats depend on.
Sponsor-A-Cat offers donors a meaningful way to support sanctuary cats who depend on daily care, enrichment, medical support, and a calm, stable environment. Even if they are never adopted, cats deserve a life filled with comfort, dignity, and love. PURRR’s Sponsor-A-Cat program makes that possible. Each sponsor becomes part of a cat’s support system and helps ensure consistent, high-quality care. Year-end support provides the steady foundation that allows PURRR’s sanctuary cats to thrive all year long. PURRR also offers low-cost, high-quality, high-volume spay + neuter services exclusively for cats. Since launching its clinic in 2021, PURRR has become one of the few organizations in Broward County solely dedicated to this initiative. In 2024 alone, PURRR performed 3,048 surgeries, including 2,598 at its clinic in Fort Lauderdale and 450 through partnerships with shelters.
Feline overpopulation in South Florida, especially in Broward County, stems from a lack of accessible, affordable, and high-volume spay + neuter services, compounded by the continued, unmanageable growth of the community cat population. The demand for services far exceeds availability, particularly for free-roaming cats.
