Help a paw

So where have I been…

Listen to the irony of this.
I built a room to store stuff that the cats couldn’t p*e on or mess up…
And instead, the rats did.
Yep. I ended up with a full-blown rat infestation.

What did it cost me? Not 1, not 2, but 3 washing machine pipes.
Machine fixed ☑️
Storeroom secured so rats can’t get in and cats can’t get out (we shall now have random cat patrols throughout the storeroom making sure the rats don’t even think about moving back in) ☑️

But that’s not all the drama…
My dryer — well, the circuit board on that is FRIED.
Dryer part ordered ☑️

Then let’s throw in two broken fans…
Perfect timing as the weather is getting hotter
Huge thank you to Peter for replacing one of the fans to keep our kitties cool

And the final sprinkle on top…
A broken “one pot.”
My guardian angel when it comes to cooking all the cat food.

But somehow, through all of the universe’s tests, I’ve managed to keep my strength and patience…
(although I am saying that very quietly so she doesn’t hear me and throw a few more hiccups my way)

Now for the positive news…
Let’s talk clinics — because we haven’t all year.

We have been BUSY.
Drum roll please…

So far this year we have fixed:
278 cats
155 females
123 males

Putting our total count to…
1900

Thank you to each and every single person who has assisted with these clinics,
and a big thank you to the people who make them possible.

We truly couldn’t do this without you ❤️

So thankful for a kind donation by our friends, Thomas and Marianna Martens! This kind gesture will save so many animals and help us foster more dogs! Thank you so much!

Great news! Our Mister Bean was adopted by this happy little boy, Noriel! We hope this is a beautiful beginning to a life long friendship! Briceño

Another big thank you goes to our local vet, Dr. Tesecum at Paws & Hoof's veterinary Services for his continued dedication to our animals and our community.

From supporting large spay and neuter clinics to the everyday care he provides throughout the year, his commitment and professionalism make a real difference. Long days, hard work, and a genuine concern for animal welfare never go unnoticed.

We are incredibly grateful for his support, collaboration, and willingness to always step up when it matters most. Thank you, Dr. Tesecum, for everything you do for our animals and for being such an important part of this work.

Huge appreciation for Animal Welfare Society and especially Terekhova , who personally organized an incredible 4-day spay and neuter clinic in San Ignacio, Cayo. 🐾

The clinic was exceptionally well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish, with an amazing 375 pets spayed and neutered in just four days. That’s a massive impact for the animals and the community.

We were grateful to join as volunteers on the final day and to witness firsthand how much care, coordination, and dedication went into this initiative. It was truly inspiring to be part of such meaningful work.

Thank you for the experience and for everything you do for animal welfare. 💚

This cute young male dog - we call him Mister Bean, not sure why:) - is looking for his human/s! He is healthy, happy and already got nextguard, neutered and clean! He is super friendly with all people he meets and will do great with other dogs. He wants love and attention so much! Open your home for him and you won’t regret, I promise! We are located in Agua Viva, near Belmopan if you want to come and meet him before committing! WhatsApp me! 624-1376 or call 612-9287

Rescuing a few weeks old, not an easy job.

We found a really little kitten.
