Waiting her turn
This kitty was fixed in another ocassion and came by to say hello
The trapped animals are clearly identified with stickers to be released exactly where they were trapped. As soon as the animal is taken out of the trap, a paper collar with the number, place and weight is put on the animal.
Dra. Letty, Dra. Itzel, Dra. Raquel and Dr. Augusto. Volunteerss: Melanie H., Marlen, Janet Combs, Melanie, Ernesto, Juan Francisco, Yiyi, Yelenis, Rebeca, Jessica, & Pat .
A lot still needs to be done is this area. We will return soon. Total collected: $2.
SSAN FELIPE has been designated world heritage by UNESCO but the area has too many sick and hungry animals.
Good news: Arco Properties let us use an apartment with water and electricity at no cost in 7th Street near the Presidency, to perform the operations. This makes the work easier because the animals are trapped, brought to the station, operated and released once they are alert. Low-income guardians can come walking with their pets.
Even though it rained, the volunteers did not care and went out to bring the animals. 35 animals were operated, dewormed and vaccinated on Sunday, November 25, 2007. 32 animals were trapped and 5 animals were brought in by their guardians. Two of the trapped cats were put down because they were in terrible shape.
A contribution of $20 per dog and $10 per cat is suggested but no animal is rejected if the guardian/rescuer can not give the contribution. On this day not one cent of contribution was received. Hopefully the people that live in this area will cooperate buying a 2008 calendar. 100% of the income from calendars sold at the Casco Viejo will be earmarked for the sterilization campaign in San Felipe. So far 5 calendars have been sold in the Casco Viejo.
Dr. Vega from the Health Ministry vaccinated the animals against rabies.
Dr.
Letty Guajardo and Dr. Raquel Fuster operated that day. The next
blitz date is Sunday, January 13, 2008. We have invited the Casco
Viejo Office and the authorities to join forces to improve the welfare
of the animals and at the same time make San Felipe more attractive to
the tourists.
January 18, 2008, the team went back to Calle 7a, San Felipe and operated 42 animals, mostly trapped by the volunteers.
