Purrfect Friends Volunteers
Visit With Best Friends In Pahrump

A group of Purrfect Friends Volunteers led by Vice President, Pat Ambroz, made two separate weekend trips to take supplies to Best Friends who arrived in Pahrump to assist in the travesty at the F.L.O.C.K. Cat Sanctuary.

Arriving around feeding time, they were greeted by several Best Friend
workers that in turn thanked them for coming and bringing cat food. They had been able to collect donations that allowed them to purchase about 500 cans of cat food. They were shown onto the grounds and were appalled at what they saw or didn’t see. Best Friends had done a remarkable job in cleaning the grounds in just a single week, but there were old broken dishes and only a handful of cats around. The mound of feces that had been cleaned by Best Friends was in the background and unbelievable in size. The Best Friends group had put mattresses on a concert slab so the cats could sleep with them if they wished.

Several very tame cats ran up to the Purrfect Friends Volunteers, they were heartbroken to see how thin these cats were. All of the cats that needed medical attention were in a building being treated and cared for.

They assisted in hauling in donations into the compound. They had the opportunity to speak with workers from Best Friends to ask how everything was going. They said "slow as it is so hot". They also asked what else they needed in the form of supplies. They were desperate for bleach, rags, mops and buckets, so they headed into Pahrump to round up additional supplies. They found what they were looking for so back to the sanctuary (that really is a bad word for this compound, really it seemed more like a prison for these cats instead of a sanctuary).

The volunteer’s second trip was the following weekend and what a wonderful surprise. The mound had been removed, there were new dishes full of water and dry food, new fencing had been put up around each of the small buildings, the coolers were working in each of the buildings as well, there were several volunteers (other then Best Friends) assisting, the supply huts were over-flowing and cats were roaming all over the place. It was mind boggling at how much had been accomplished in just one additional week.
They assisted again with hauling in donations, filling spray bottles with bleach and water then making sure each small building had a bottle. They put donations into a building that had fans running, when they walked in there were cats everywhere, they stepped over, petted and cooed at them, and while there two cats were adopted. The volunteers said it was great to see them going to their new home. Before they left for Las Vegas, they walked the compound to see cats sleeping in the shade, looking content and looking like they were being taken care of properly. A wonderful way to end the day. We all owe Best Friends of Southern Utah our gratitude and support for their hard work and dedication.
