(Scroll down and speakers on for an audio slideshow.) I was blessed enough to go to Puerto Rico last month on a vacation. It was great – I rode a horse on the beach, swam in a bioluminescent bay, met a cute boy, enjoyed the warm weather, drove through a rainforest, ate lots of great food…. and saw lots of stray animals. It wasn’t a shock – I had read about the many strays of Puerto Rico, so part of my ‘vacation’ actually was to document the stray population of the island.
Yes, I turned my vacation into an assignment – what of it?
One of the groups that helps out is called Save A Gato in Old San Juan. The 100 or so cats in the managed colony are all trapped, neutered, ear-tipped, and returned to the city, free to roam the quaint cobblestone streets and sun themselves on the rocks by the ocean. Feeding stations are hidden just out of sight, and volunteers work around the clock to fill bowls, tend to veterinary needs, and help out with the kitten adoption program. They are doing such a great job; why don’t you check out their website?

Beautiful slide show. I especially love the photo of the kitty sitting on the stair step as all the human feet step around him. He looks so confident.
