This is an appreciation post. 🙏🏽 Our good friends helped us rescue a sweet stray cat. Our neighbors mentioned they saw the cat moving around erratically, weak and presumably in pain for the last few days. After some good 30 min. searching for the cat, we were able to find her and catch her. I took her to the vet and the results of the tests will be given tomorrow. She has lost nearly 90% of her vision hence she will have to be adopted as an all-time indoor cat. She is the sweetest and everybody at the vet clinic loves her alreday. She was eating a lot.
Massive thanks Broderick Baker for your help!
I will provide updates on “la gatita” tomorrow.

Please book your trip with us in advance, we would love to be a part of your Costa Rica vacation. Pura vida ✌🏼
