In this world today, there is so much division that we often lose sight of our shared humanity. Today we celebrate our multi-cultural connections with others from across the world who all came together to make the rescue and adoption of beautiful kitty, Vida, a possibility.

Vida was saved from the streets of Puerto Rico by a lady from Chile who had moved to PR many years ago and started an animal rescue. We were connected to Rosy, the rescuer, by an American lady with PR heritage, who moved back to PR to care for her elderly mother. Our President is a white lady from Minnesota, who now rescues cats from PR and lives in Florida. Our President flew kitty Vida from PR to Florida and cared for her for over 6 months until she was finally adopted by a wonderful couple, who drove 3.5 hours to get her. The lady is from Brazil and her husband is Puerto Rican.

If we can all work together to rescue beautiful kitties like Vida, there is no reason fto stop there. Think of all of the world’s problems we could solve if we all worked together and helped each other out. We share far more in common than the issues that end up driving us apart. I am grateful to have been a part of this and many other amazing rescue stories that never get told. When you support our rescue, you are a part of this as well and we are so grateful for all of our supporters, from all parts of the USA, PR, and beyond! πŸΎβ€οΈπŸβœˆοΈπŸŽ‰πŸŒŽ

Back in September, our president and founder, Erica Erickson, traveled to Miami to help advise about how to effectively manage the feral cat population in South Florida. While checking out a local park where many cats had been dumped, she rescued Buddy, a friendly orange and white cat, that a local cat feeder had gotten neutered and vaccinated after the cat was dumped at the park. In November, Buddy adopted one of Erica’s neighbors, who happens to be a vet tech and animal lover, where Buddy continues to live his best life! Please remember that the only solution to the cat overpopulation problem is to spay and neuter every cat! It is the most effective solution and it works!

It's been over 15 months since the Puerto Rico Police, Adriana Luna, Marilyn Arce, and Solymar Crespo ILLEGALLY took 87 cats from our rescue, along with all of our property, money, documents, and supplies. The news reported that several cats died during transport since these morons loaded them into a metal horse trailer in 100 degree PR sun. And gloating dummy, Solymar Crespo, who has never even owned a cat in her life, admitted that 20+ died in her care by the end of the first week that she had them. WHERE ARE THE REST OF OUR CATS?? Solymar Crespo has continually lied about the location of the cats, giving an address to a vacant field. I am on criminal trial for supposedly abusing these beautiful cats, yet they don't even have most of the cats anymore! They had no legal right to get rid of them! Where are they SOLYMAR??

We are thankful! Back in September we received an urgent messenger for a couple of tourists who were visiting PR and they came across a big, older Siamese kitty in poor condition. They had only one more day left in PR and they were not able to get the kitty healthy and ready to fly, so they brought the kitty to one of our amazing foster volunteers. Our volunteer cared for Freddy for 2 months, getting his skin condition treated, giving him antibiotics, and getting him vaccinated and combo tested. Once Freddy was healthy and ready to fly, the tourists were eager for us to fly him to them. And, as a bonus, they adopted kitty Poppy that we rescued from AΓ±asco a year ago! Thank you to our donors, fosters, and adopters who make these mini-miracles possible! Have the best life sweet kitties! β€οΈπŸΎπŸπŸŽ‰βœˆοΈπŸ¦ƒ

Our federal civil rights lawsuit against the Puerto Rico Police, government, and others has now made national news in the US! The Puerto Rico Attorney General, the police, and others we are suing continue to hide and evade service of process because they are SCARED! And they should be. Please share and show your support for our rescue, our cats, and the rights of all Americans living in Puerto Rico!

Our President and Founder, Erica Erickson, was recently invited to speak as an expert on feral cat colonies by renowned news anchor and animal advocate, Jacey Birch of Miami local 10 News. The story is about the million feral and stray cats that live in South Florida and how to get the population under control. Hint: the solution is spay /neuter! Check it out! πŸΎβ€οΈπŸŒ΄πŸ¦©πŸŠπŸŽƒ

As feral cat populations surge across South Florida, communities clash over feeding practices and solutions. Animal advocates stress the need for unity and spaying/neutering programs to curb the issue.
