PUERTO RICO Fwd: Urgent need for donations of cat food, canned anddry, or donations to purchase cat food, From Glen Venezio

Dear friends,

For anyone wishing to help, I am at the moment in very urgent need of cat food, canned or dry (I use cans too because I deal with many cats that vomit dry food, have some teeth problems, etc.), for the over 100 cats that I deal with 7 days a week on the street in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I can also use PETSMART gift cards if you cannot donate the actual food, to buy the food. PETSMART is the only large pet store here in Puerto Rico, and also sells the cat food for the cheapest, also WALMART which costs a bit more. Or donations via my PAYPAL account, which is my email sethspeaksnyc@gmail.com . I spend over 35 to 40 dollars a day doing this work, and there are times such as now that I cannot do it alone. I have been doing it alone using my own money for 4 years now, 7 days a week, no rest, no day off, no vacation, 6 to 7 hours in the streets in my own area in Santurce every morning because at 3:45am, and then every OTHER night in Isla Verde for 3 to 4 hours. For those who were able to donate in the past, my deepest thanks. I am in a very desperate need right now, as I only have enough food through the day after Christmas, Monday the 26th, so any donations via Paypal or the actual food if you are in Puerto Rico and wish to buy the cat food rather than donate, are very gratefully appreciated. If you want to send a check, please ask for my address.

There are many photos of the cats I take care of on my Facebook photo albums, add me as a friend if you are not already my friend, search for Glen Venezio. I have attached 5 photos here also so you can see a few of the beautiful little beings that I am privileged to deal with every day (these pics are also in albums on my Facebook page). Here in Puerto Rico, I am also one of a coalition of people working very hard to fight against a proposed dolphinarium in San Juan, with dogs and cats suffering all over the streets, the last thing we need here is to bring captive dolphins to languish in a tiny pool for the rest of their lives................We recently hosted dolphin expert Ric O'Barry of THE COVE at a public screening of the film, where he spoke out against the dolphinarium, please check out my report of this event on Ric O'Barry's Dolphin Project blog at http://dolphinproject.org/blog/post/ric-obarry-visits-puerto-rico-to-ens...

If you would like more information about the work I do here with cats or references about my work, please feel free to ask. I am deeply appreciative of anyone able to help with either donations to buy the cat food or donations of the actual food. Thank you to those who have donated and thanks in advance to everyone else, Wishing you a beautiful holiday and a Very Happy Special New Year 2012. I will be with the cats in Isla Verde tonight, Christmas Eve, and again in the morning in Santurce, Christmas Day! I cannot think of a better way to spend part of the holiday, really.............

thank you so much,

love,
