The Purr Project, Inc. is a non-profit organization whose mission is twofold: Primarily, our mission is to give second chances to cats that have been injured, abused, and/or neglected by matching these with safe homes. Our primary focus is to those that would otherwise be euthanized because they have –sometimes-serious –medical issues. Secondly, we are active participants in the fight against animal abuse. Our work in the anti-abuse community is new. In the summer of 2009, The Purr Project will unveil the Project Anti-Abuse Institute. The institute will be a non-profit organization whose purpose will be to conduct high quality research that focuses on animal abuse and the cycle of violence, as well as research into how animals fit into human society. Secondly, the goal will be developing anti cruelty instructional programs for the public.
