Englewood, Florida’s “World’s Greatest Cathouse,“ Puffy Paws Kitty Haven is a is 501(c)(3) a non-profit, no-kill cat hospice and rescue specializing in providing quality and loving care to special needs cats, and finding homes for the adoptable kitties under their care.
Every day at Puffy Paws Kitty Haven, we witness heartbreaking stories of cats that have been abandoned, neglected, and abused. We see the pain and suffering in their eyes and hearts, and we are driven by a passion to give them a second chance at life. It's not an easy job, but it's a rewarding one.
Unfortunately, the current economic climate has made it extremely difficult for us to continue fulfilling our mission. Donations have decreased by 50% compared to this time last year. We are facing a daily struggle to raise the funds necessary to pay for vet care, food, and other operation expenses that are essential to our mission. We have been forced to dip into our reserves, and we fear for the future of Puffy Paws. That's why we are calling out to all the cat lovers out there to help us keep our doors open and continue providing the love and care that our kitties deserve.
The thought of having to turn away cats in need is devastating to us. We have seen firsthand the pain and suffering that these cats go through, and we know that without our help, their chances of survival are slim. Your donation can help us prevent that from happening.
The cats we have saved throughout the 16 years of Puffy Paws serve us as a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is still hope. They remind us of the power of strength and resilience and they us inspire to keep fighting for their well-being.
We understand that time are tough for everyone, and we are all facing our own challenges. However, we ask you to take a moment and think about the impact that your donation can make on the lives of our furry friends. Many of the cats that come to Puffy Paws are broken and afraid. Some of them have been abandoned, abused and neglected but with time and love we watch them blossom into happy, healthy cats.
So we ask you, from the bottom of our hearts, to consider making a donation to Puffy Paws Kitty Haven. Every donation, no matter how big or small, can make a significant impact on the lives of our furry friends. With your help, we can continue providing the love and care that they deserve.
Thank you for your consideration and for being a part of our mission to give cats a second chance at life.
Thank You So Much For Your Support

Dear Kitty Lovers of The World
Englewood, Florida’s “World’s Greatest Cathouse,“ Puffy Paws Kitty Haven is a non-profit, no-kill cat hospice and rescue specializing in providing quality and loving care to special needs cats, and finding homes for the adoptable kitties under their care.
The Haven is a cage-less, free roaming, loving foster home for special needs and unwanted kitties.
The Kingston's provide their loving home for the kitties, A.K.A. The Haven, and it is huge and beautiful.
Puffy Paws cares for kitties with feline leukemia, FIV, feral cats, unadoptable kitties, one eye cats, senior kitties, kitties that do not use their litter box, cats with neurological disorders, abused kitties and more - basically unwanted and unadoptable kitties that would be euthanized elsewhere.
The majority of the funds are donated by the Kitty Lovers throughout the world.
Just by asking for help when the kitties need it.
It cost well over $40,000.00 a month to run Puffy Paws Kitty Haven.
$53.76 an hour, every single day, 365 days a year.
Funds are like the tide over here at Puffy Paws.
Funds in and funds out.
The remaining amount was donations via checks and sales from the online stores.
The priority of incoming funds are in this order: the kitties daily needs, cat food, vet care and operating expenses.
After that, funds are used for the maintenance and improvement of the Haven for the kitties, and the care and maintenance of the vehicles.
Just by asking for help when the kitties need it.
The unwanted & special needs kitties are blessed to have a world-wide family that loves them ever so much.
Puffy Paws Kitty Haven believes in 100% transparency in all of our dealings.
Chrissy and Rick do not get paid.
These pages are designed to let the whole world know where their donations go, and when and why they are needed each and every month.
In addition to this, Puffy Paws books are open to the public, upon request.
Since 2009, all official business with Puffy Paws Kitty Haven has moved outside of the Kingston's home.
THE HAVEN
The Haven is a lot bigger than most people think.
The Haven has two huge buildings that sit on a 16,000 square foot double lot.
Puffy Paws is set up to handle the different medical concerns that the kitties have by separating them into their very own living quarters.
Puffy Paws cares for kitties with feline leukemia, FIV, feral cats, unadoptable kitties, one eyed cats, senior kitties, kitties that do not use their litter box, cats with neurological disorders, abused kitties and more - basically unwanted and unadoptable kitties that would be euthanized elsewhere.
The 2700 sq foot "Haven Home" has our healthy adoptable kitties, and is a permanent residence for those who have physical, emotional and behavioral problems.
The Kitty Angel Club & The Hospitality Room
Our second building is 800 sq foot, and 400 sq foot of it is used solely for the kitties with feline leukemia, which we have nick named "The Kitty Angel Club," because all the precious fur-babies are living angels who are living out their lives.
The second half of the building, 400 sq foot, is The Hospitality Room, where family & friends of the Kingstons can hang out and chill with the kitties while enjoying a cup of coffee or a cold soda.
All Business Activities Takes Place At The Business Center.
The Kingston's may provide kitties their loving home to live in, yet they can not have any volunteers, adoptions or surrenders at the Haven itself by the order of Sarasota County Code Enforcement.
They can not do any business at the Haven since it is in a residential neighborhood.
Bottom line per Code Enforcement since 2009:
You can not run a business from a residential home.
NO FOOT TRAFFIC.
Total Transparency
Puffy Paws Kitty Haven is the only local rescue that posts their operating expenses online when they are paid. The Cat Food Bills, Vet Bills, Power Bills and The Business Center Rent, Daily supplies, etc...
We post them on the kitties Facebook page and you can view years of them by

No Donation Is Ever To Small.
Every day, we must ask for help from Kitty Lovers from all over the world, using all of the social media that is at our disposal, so that we may keep continuing our mission in helping the special needs & unwanted kitties under our care.
Please only give what your heart and budget can afford.
Your donation today will go a long way in securing the kitties daily future.
If everyone did a little, there would be little left to do.
You have the power to avert a tragedy today.
An entire cat hospice will be wiped out, and only painful and sad stories will be told because we could not round up the worldwide awareness and financial help that these beautiful cats deserve.
If we fail at raising the funds needed everyday for the kitties under our care, there will be no other option but to close down. What choice would we have?
Your loving donations will give us enough funds to keep the doors open at Puffy Paws, one day at a time.
Please give the gift of life by donating to these very special needs kitties. Without your help, we cannot do what we do for the kitties under our care.
I know its a rough go on us humans, and we thank God that the Puffy Paws kitties only know love, courage and human kindness, as they go about their second chance of life at Puffy Paws, only because of the charity of the kitty lovers around the world, and we are so grateful for your kind hearts.
