Ojito is a kitten surrendered to us at a clinic in September. He had massive issues with both eyes, a huge abcess on his neck plus severe malnutrition and dehydration. We honestly did not have high hopes for his survival. Many weeks of living in our clinic, cared for constantly by volunteers, he started to get fat, his abcess was healed and he was such a friendly affectionate cat. He moved into foster care, but his eye issues remained. With the visit of Dr Pedro, both eyes were addressed and he is doing amazing in recovery. He will soon be ready for a home. If you want a super affectionate cat, with a lot of personality, and only one eye, and you have a home where he can be strictly indoor only, we have one of the most rewarding rescues you could possibly adopt.

We encourage people to support local business that support animals here in Bocas.

Although not frequently posted on FB, wildlife electrocutions are very common on Isla Colon. Today, as per MiAMBIENTEs request, Naturgy and MiAMBIENTE were shown multiple sections of lines that have been problems for wildlife electrocutions over the past few years.

The lines along Bluff beach and Drago are coated but unfortunately the rest are not and will not be any time soon. However, Naturgy will deal with every problem section we showed them today by either coating those lines or adding wildlife protectors, as well as cutting the tree branches back so that the animals can not easily access the lines. *Naturgy has asked that we inform the public that they will be cutting back tree limbs along these areas in order to help prevent future electrocutions.*

We are encouraged by MiAMBIENTE and their interest in helping mitigate the problem. We would also like to thank Manuel Sanjur as well for helping so much with this issue.

What can you do to help?

🌴If you have trees in your area that are growing over/into the lines please file a request for Naturgy to come cut them back. This alone makes a big difference, helping keep animals off the lines.

⚡ Filing a report with MiAMBIENTE when an animal is electrocuted is really important! They have shown they will respond and work on solutions with Naturgy.

We are so grateful to the local businesses that step up and help us in our mission. The Hummingbird - Bocas is one such business that has gone above and beyond. They not only let us fill their resort with veterinarians and do surgeries right in the resort. They also happily donate stays as prizes. The winners of our pet Halloween costume contest, Lisa, Matt and dog Rex just got to use their prize of a stay there with a dinner. Papá Gato has always been a community effort, supported by individuals and businesses right here in Bocas.
