Noticia 📰 PLEASE HELP — Cats and kittens in Miramar, Puerto Rico are starving and sick. Looking for rescue/foster/transport help 🐾❤️
Hi everyone. I’m currently in Miramar, Puerto Rico on vacation, and I honestly don’t know what to do. I’ve come across a large number of stray/community cats and kittens who are in really bad shape. Many are extremely thin, and there are multiple kittens with severe-looking eye infections and other health problems.
There are SO many babies. It’s heartbreaking to see them suffering and feel like I can’t do enough.
I’m desperately looking for a rescue group, animal organization, foster network, or experienced individuals in Puerto Rico who can help me figure out what to do.
I am willing to foster these cats myself and I’m willing to help get them to the mainland U.S. where I can work on finding them loving homes. I’m also willing to help with the adoption process and take responsibility for fostering them once they’re safely transported.
What I desperately need help with is the in-between:
*Someone who can feed them consistently until they can be rescued
*Help trapping/catching the cats and kittens safely
*Veterinary care and treatment for the sick/injured cats
*A rescue organization that can take them into their program
*Foster homes in Puerto Rico while arrangements are made
*A group or organization that can help arrange transportation/flying the cats to the mainland U.S.
*Advice from anyone who has successfully rescued cats from Puerto Rico and transported them to the States
I know I can’t save every animal by myself, but I really want to try to save as many as I can. I just don’t know where to start, and right now I feel incredibly helpless watching these kittens struggle.
If anyone knows legitimate rescue organizations, fosters, transport groups, TNR groups, veterinarians, or people in the San Juan/Miramar area who could help, PLEASE reach out to me.
I can provide photos, videos, and the general location of the cats to anyone who is genuinely able to help.
Even if you can’t foster or transport them, having someone feed them regularly while we organize a rescue would make a huge difference.
I’m not looking for someone else to do everything for me. I’m willing to put in the work, foster, coordinate, and help financially where I can. I just need someone who knows what they’re doing to help me get started.
These babies deserve a chance. ❤️🐈⬛🐈
Please comment or DM me if you can help or if you know an organization I should contact.
