Englewood, Florida's "World's Greatest Cathouse"

Puffy Paws Kitty Haven

Since 2006, the Kingston family—Chrissy and Rick—have opened their hearts and their beautiful home to Florida's cats requiring the highest levels of love and attention.

Puffy Paws isn’t a traditional shelter; it is a dedicated medical hospice haven and lifelong haven for kitties that require specialized, continuous care.

Spanning two custom-built, free-roaming buildings over 3,600 square feet, our sanctuary is designed entirely to cater to each cat's unique physical, behavioral, and medical needs.

Our dedicated facility provides specialized, 24/7 care for:

Feline Leukemia (FeLV) & FIV+ kitties
Senior cats & palliative hospice care
Neurological and physical disabilities (including one-eyed or blind cats)
Abused, neglected, feral, or unadoptable kitties

Your support makes this life-saving work possible. Every single donation directly provides food, intensive medical treatments, and a safe, cage-free haven for cats that have nowhere else to turn.

Together, we can transform lives—one paw at a time. Join us in making a difference today!
