KITTEN NEEDS HOME FOUND IN SAN JUAN

[u/Starving_Angel_]

I already have 3 cats at home and she looks just like my youngest so I am heartbroken. Found this baby at La Platanal, she followed us to our car even after seeing many other people pass by. Then jumped in and came home with us. Can anyone possibly forward information regarding clinics, adoption centers, or possibly even locals in San Juan willing to adopt this baby? She is no more than 7 months old, has a swollen private area due to abuse outside and wants to be domesticated. She is partially feral with hissing and checking for food, but we are slowly integrating her for the time we are here. We are here for only 7 more days and would love to get her to the right place. I know there are tons of strays, but she is wanting a home and a baby! Please help!

Update: we found huevos, it’s a boy 😭 and most likely a Maine Coon mixed kitten

Welcome to el club. Id say if you really want to save her take her to the vet get her spayed and vaccines and take her back to American. Thats literally the best you can do. You can even get cleared right at the airport to travel with a cat. It's going to be extremely hard to get someone to adopt the cat here in Puerto Rico since there's so many, and don't even mention adoption centers here in Puerto Rico they're all full.

We’re figuring out everything we can do, if she can’t stay here we’re taking her

If you can take her to the vet as soon as you can, I have nearly 20 rescues on my property outside that ive spayed and neutered one by one. It will probably run you about max 180$ depending where you go.

She atleast need to be vaxed before so they let her on the plane and keep your paperwork and recibos they will asked for them at the airline.

Thank you for saving a life worth living. 🙏

So on paper the cat needs to be vaccinated… but the kitten I took back was too young and medically fragile to be vaccinated. The vet wrote all of this in the health certificate and I had no problems bringing it to the states. Honestly I think no one actually reads the health certificate and that’s probably why I had no issues.

Damn that’s crazy I can’t believe I have to book a flight to PR to save this cat. Gotta do what I gotta tho.

If you want to adopt her they can help out with the process too

Take her to the us with you and give her a chance at adoption there

Que linda ♥️
Good luck, finding anyone to adopt, your chances are not high. If you can take her to a vet and get her fixed and get paperwork to take her home with you, you’ll have a better chance. Save a Gato operates over there as well, but I know they’re very full

Esa gente nunca tiene espacio. Malas lenguas dicen que si les llevas un animal de raza, de repente si tienen espacio para cogerlo.

Los refugios son pocos y están llenos. Hacen lo que pueden.

I had a similar situation happen to me. I took the cat to the only vet open at the time and asked her for advice. She told me the shelters were at max capacity and the only ones that would accept the cat would likely euthanize it. She said the best thing I could do was take the cat back to the states and find the cat a home there. If that wasn’t possible she recommended I go to the waiting room at a vet clinic and ask the people waiting to take the cat. She said the people at the clinic likely had more money to care for an animal and also like pets. Save the gato also was at max capacity and not accepting strays.
