THANKS TO
EVERYONE WHO HAS READ ONE OF OUR POSTS ON TRAVEL, WHEELCHAIR ACCESS, URBAN
DESIGN, HUMAN RIGHTS, SUSTAINABILITY, ANIMAL WELFARE AND OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Little Mouse, who depends on us for food, water, mil treats and love |
We have now published more than 2,500
posts over just shy of a decade.
The amount of text would fill nearly
four books.
Today, we want to focus on taking care
stray cats.
We live in Little Havana and love its
authenticity and diversity.
But sadly, it is one of the No. 1
places to dump unwanted felines in all of South Florida.
We live on a tiny lot, but have 2
bowls of water, 2 bowls of food and 4 cat shelters on it.
We have cared for nearly 50 outside
cats in the past five years.
Our Siamese baby Honeybear continues
to be our first inside rescue.
But at any given time we have a trio
of regulars who depend on us to fill their water and milk bowls several times a
day while filling their food dishes every other hour.
We donate locally, nationally and
globally to dozens of cat sanctuaries and other efforts to spay/neuter cats.
The total amount of our year-round cat
care and giving equals something between five and 10 percent of our household
income.
We strongly encourage others to do the
same – even if you can only afford to dedicate one percent of your earnings to
taking care of animals who need us.
Ginger, one of our beloved outside babies |
