Purr-fectly Thrifty, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Thrift Shop, Caring Actions for Animals, Inc., Resale Shop, Delaware Beaches, Henry & Francesca, 2 adoptable cats
Someone that is thrifty is wisely economical, sparing, or frugal. The items you might not need or want can be treasures to others.
I kept seeing the sign that said Purr-fectly Thrifty. I knew it had to be a second hand shop, but to tell you the truth I did not have any idea until I decided to clean my closet the other day. I had 3 large bags and even though I have taken items to other second hand shops around Rehoboth Beach, the opportunity to check this one out could not be resisted.
Purr-fectly Thrifty is located at 19753 Sea Air Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-727-5774. The Proprietor? Rose Karaka It is right behind the PNC Bank, and adjacent to Outlet Liquors.
The sales proceeds from Purr-fectly Thrifty benefit Caring Actions for Animals, Inc. (CAFA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
Their mission is to support animal welfare initiatives that will improve the quality of life for many animals in Delaware. They love cats. They sponsor cat adoption fairs and they work with the Georgetown SPCA.
Rose was telling me that the most important thing is educating the community on the benefits to spay or neuter their pets. This corporation provides cat food for feral cat feeding stations where required. They also provide assistance to those that due to financial restraints or physical limitations, cannot provide their pets the necessary food or medical attention.
First impressions? Did not look like a second hand shop. The bright colors took me back. Even the display cases were colorful.
There is merchandise for everyone.
Home goods….lamps, vases, art, toasters, sheets, towels.
Christmas items!!
Men’s clothing.
Women’s clothing, shoes and bags.
Children’s clothing and toys.
When I saw it, immediately I thought of a Kitty Condo. Meet Henry and Francesca. They live at Purr-fectly Thrifty for now…. They are available for adoption. These are special needs cats. Here is their story.
Their names are, Henry, the bigger one and Francesca. They are looking for a new home. Of course, together would be best, but it will be fine, if not possible. They are about 4 or 5 years old. Up to date in all shots.
They are special needs kitties because they are carriers of FIV (feline infectious virus), which a contagious disease that only affects cats. That means they need to be placed in a home without other cats, because the virus could be passed along to other cats if scratched or bitten. This virus cannot be passed to people or other dogs or pets in your home.
They are both very lovable and so cute. If you have any questions or are interested please call Rose at 302-727-5774.
Caring Actions For Animals, Inc (CAFA) needs contributions to continue their mission. Items to donate can be dropped off at the thrift shop during business hours. Monetary contributions can be made payable to Caring Actions For Animals, Inc. and mailed to: 179 Rehoboth Avenue, Box 188, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971-9998.
So, keep them in mind when cleaning your house of treasures no longer needed.
