It seems strange not to be visiting PEACEAnimals clinics, and I miss them. Our work agreement with the vet team, Pets for Life, is that they be available to us a minimum of thirty surgery weeks a year. The work agreement can be seen on our website. PEACEAnimals works with the team approximately forty weeks a year. Pets for Life secures approximately nine surgery weeks annually outside of Puerto Vallarta, which means not having to raise approximately $16,000 USD annually for PEACEAnimals clinics. The excellent team, consisting of Dr. Poli, Dr. Anthony and Leslie Carratachea (vet tech and education director) are currently in Zipolite, Oaxaca, which looks very beautiful. Their clinic is sponsored by the SnipSisters.

CAT PICNIC: At dusk on Thursday, I took our three dogs to the isla Cuale for a walk and a dip in the river, which flows down from the Sierra Madres and into the Bay of Banderas. Crossing the swinging wooden bridge, a pack of cats strode purposefully towards me. The dogs regarded them quizzically. Behind me was

The tiny island hosts a cultural center at the east end and a small archaeological museum at the west end, where the river empties into the bay. In between are restaurants, shops, stalls and a couple of small, abandoned buildings. There is an assortment of rumors regarding the island´s future, which include potential plans for a green iguana sanctuary,

NOTE: Dr. Manuel Peña is aware of the urgency to sterilize and find homes for cats from the isla Cuale. Depending on his work schedule, he will donate 5 feline spay or neuter surgeries per week to Puro Gato. Please ask your vets if they will donate surgeries to the abandoned cats on the isla Cuale.

Dr. Manuel Peña sabe que es urgente esterilizar y luego encontrar gatos de la isla Cuale tan pronto posible. Depende de su horario de trabajo, pero él ofreció donar hasta esterilizaciónes cada semana a Puro Gato. Favor de pedir a sus veterinarios si pueden donar unas cirugías para los gatos abandonados en la isla cuale.
