Walkstar is focusing on the 3 main colonies in the La Perla community of San Juan, then to the smaller colonies, then onto the roaming feral cats, all together projecting about 200 cats. Nothing about this project seems easy, but with great volunteers, private funding, municipal help, and loving vets, clinics, & shelters, we are planning to have this project completed as soon as possible.
The real problem? Our first meetings with La Perla residents and business owners lead us to many street cats, of whom we had certain expectations of. Let's face it, La Perla's kind of a rough place, and we were expecting rough cats. Nothing could be further from the truth. The cats we encountered were young, in great health (for the most part), sweet, friendly, and very VERY loving. Now what do we do? It is easier to return a feral cat to the street than a cat who would fit perfectly in any home! The La Perla Cat Project will soon have a second part- helping to find these babes homes so they do not have to return to the streets.
Since starting the La Perla Cat Project, we have also been helping cat communities in Santurce, Miramar, and Ocean Park areas, and facilitating pet adoptions for our clients and associates. Hopefully soon we can do so much more!
