Welcome to Purrsonalities

You can help The Daniel J. Elias Memorial Foundation build PURRSONALITIES™, a sanctuary for adoptable homeless cats and kittens on Olympia Drive in Peoria, IL. PURRSONALITIES™ will provide a healthy, safe place for cats and kittens to wait for a friend to adopt them. We have recently revised the architectural plans for PURRSONALITIES™ so that we can build it in phases, which will require less initial funding and will enable us to begin operating sooner. We need approximately $500,000 to begin operating.Kitten

Low-cost spay/neuter programs!

The Foundation has two low-cost spay/neuter programs for cats. In one program, we pick up cats in central locations in the Peoria and Morton areas and transport them to the Animal Protective League spay/neuter clinic in Springfield. They return the next morning. In the other program, you drop off your cat at a veterinary clinic in Morton on Tuesday morning and pick him or her up on Tuesday afternoon. Both programs have the same costs: $30 for males and $40 for females. The Springfield program also spays and neuters feral cats for $25. If your cat has not had a rabies vaccination, it will need one for $9 (already included in the feral rate).

During 2010, the first full year of operation of our spay/neuter programs, PAWS had 1,600 fewer cats (25-30%) than usual. We believe that our programs played a big role in decreasing the number of cats turned into the shelter.
