Support Puff & Squirt
One retired parkour champion. One saucy garage cow. A little help keeping them fed, busy and healthy.
Tracy looks after two cats. Puff is a 4-year-old ginger and a retired parkour star. Squirt is a 1-year-old stray who moved into Tracy’s garage and shares her snacks with the neighborhood strays.
Tracy is raising money to keep litter and Meow Mix stocked for Squirt and the strays, and to cover vet visits and anything else that comes up. You can help two ways: grab some Team Puff & Squirt merch, where part of every sale goes to them, or share this page.
Meet Puff
Puff is a 4-year-old long-haired ginger who knows exactly what she wants and exactly when she wants it, usually dinner. In her younger days she was a parkour enthusiast who launched herself off anything she could climb. These days she’s mostly retired, and Tracy is still figuring out what would keep her moving.
Meet Squirt
Squirt is a 1-year-old black-and-white stray who adopted Tracy’s garage and decided to stay. She’s sweet, spicy and saucy. Her favorite snack is baby lizards, and Tracy is working on convincing her there are better menu options. Tracy also keeps food out for the other neighborhood strays who stop by.
What your support goes toward
- First priority: litter and Meow Mix for Squirt and the neighborhood strays
- Vet visits, meds and whatever else comes up
- Something to keep Puff active, once she decides what she wants
