| SUNSET ON THE MALECÓN - PUESTA DEL SOL |
 |
| EL MALECÓN EN PUERTO VALLARTA |
There are so many people and places and animals and things that need saving. There are many times when I wish I were somewhere else, trying to help save something else more important than cats and dogs. They are not in danger of becoming extinct. Quite the opposite. They keep being born to suffer. But I am here in this astonishingly beautiful place and see the misery of the animals on the street and want the suffering to eventually end. Thank you to those individuals and groups that are committed to making things better for all things everywhere. Small actions matter.

| CALLE 8 DE MAYO - COAPINOLE |
I took a 25-minute taxi ride to Coapinole on Saturday, as our car was still in the shop. We drove north through the very lively municipality of Pitillal and then east towards the foothills. As we passed a small green lake in the middle of a grassy area, the driver said that it was very mysterious how the level of the water never rose or fell. There are apparently no crocodiles in the lake, but it is completely fenced in with no access to it. Three dusty blocks east of the little lake in an empty concrete house is where the clinic took place.

When I arrived shortly before nine, the clinic was already at capacity, as Saturday is half-day. Cats and dogs were already registered and in kennels. Although some pet owners had arrived as early as seven, there was still a small group of people waiting with pets, hoping the vets would take more.

CATS AND KITTENS: Shannon Beston reports that she and Adriana have seen 14 kittens dropped on the isla Cuale in the last 10 days that they have been able to collect. And there are always adult cats taken there, pets that someone no longer is able to keep or wants to keep. Some cats on the island are pregnant. Wildlife suffers. Soraya and Almendra of Puro Gato have a total of 35 abandoned kittens they´re fostering and need to find homes for. I don´t know the numbers of all the other cats in other feline rescue organizations - AngeliCAT; Paraiso Felino; PurrProject - but it is in the hundreds, with thousands more living on the streets of Puerto Vallarta.
