Platypus Protected Feline Rescue Shelter

Platypus Protected Feline Rescue Shelter Platypus Protected, located in Beatrice, NE, strives to provide a safe, comfortable, and healthy environment for all cats who arrive at our doors.

THE ZIP CODE IS 68310 Platypus Protected is a 501 (c) (3) organization owned and operated by Susan and Kevin Mayes. We're a non-profit, licensed NO-KILL shelter and strive to provide a safe, healthy and comfortable no-cage place for the cats who live here. The only time a kennel is used is for quarantining sick or new cats who have yet to be checked out. We make our own pate using fresh, healthy i

ngredients and feed the cats good quality dry food. We have a few volunteers, but no foster homes. Either way, we can always use a helping hand!!

Good morning!

We are now under twenty cats in residence here at the shelter. We are not taking any new cats. Most are aware that we are down sizing and are caring for our special needs group that remains. They will live out their lives with us getting all the care and love they deserve.

Those of you that send donations of food, please know that your generosity is greatly appreciated! However, our greatest need is clumping litter. If you could cut back on the dry food and substitute litter that would be a great help. Our finances have been cut in half with the passing of Susan (Horde Mom) so we hope that this request doesn't offend anyone. The generosity of our donors is something we don't take lightly and greatly appreciate.

The kitties are all doing well and getting into more of a normal mode! This has been rough on them as much as it has on me.
Thank you to all of our followers for your support and caring thoughts!
