Cometa

Cometa is 5 years old. She was rescued from a busy highway back in October and has been receiving vet care ever since. She was found with a horrible would to her ear and now is waiting to begin her Heartworm treatment. We are looking for sponsors to help fund Cometa's 3 month HW treatment and recovery, so that she will be able to fly home Stateside in the next few months. It is essential that we complete her treatment in Colombia and make sure she is completely healthy and HW negative before flying to the USA. If you are interested in sponsoring Cometa and her HW treatment, please see the sponsoring options below.

Gretel



​Gretel is a young kitten who was rescued by a local volunteer and animal rescuer who found her distressed under a car, close to a busy intersection. She was immediately taken to the vet and underwent initial testing, treatments, spay, and later vaccinations. Gretel is a very fun and easy going kitten. She loves to play with her toys and other cat friends. If you are close by, she will climb up on your lap and demand to be pet and cuddled. She is one of a kind, and one really pretty kitten! She is ready to fly in December and we have a flight volunteer to the USA! Now all we need to find her forever home. Click the button below to apply today!

Shakira

kitten who was plucked from a fan belt
of a car by a good samaritan. She
suffered extreme trauma to her spine
and hind legs. She has spent 2 months receiving intensive vet care and treatment. She has improved so much and is currently in foster with our CTG Paws represenatives; David & Jack. She is very loving and gets attached to humans quickly, since she has been closely cared for since a very young age. One great thing about Shakira is that she gets along well with everyone, she loves dogs, cats, children, and adults!  Shakira will be able to fly this January! All we need is a loving home, who wants to adopt her! Click the button below if you are interested in adopting Shakira!

Maggie


​Maggie is one of Blanca's puppies (Blanca is another one of our rescues who was sexually abused by a man one month after giving birth to Maggie and her other siblings). All the other puppies in the litter found their forever homes, but Maggie didn't...  She received abuse from the same man who hurt her mother, until she was able to be pulled from the situation and put into foster. Maggie was terrified of people and other animals. We spent a full month working closely with her and introducing her to new people, settings, and animals; and she made an miraculous transformation. In fact, she has turned into a real happy, playful, and loving puppy. She is currently in foster in Florida with our Fort Lauderdale/Miami Hub Manager.

Luna is a 2 year old female dog who was rescued from a very isolated and dangerous construction site close to a US Embassy Office here in Cartagena. A few people from the Embassy decided to join forces and help out Luna and her new litter of pups. They are currently in foster and will be up for adoptions soon. Luna will be ready to fly in January and her puppies will be ready by March 2019. Luna and her puppies will undergo all initial tests, vaccines, spay/neuter, deworming sessions, and tick and flea preventative. Luna is a very sweet and calm soul. She has suffered a great deal of abuse and neglect in the few short years she has lived on the streets of Cartagena and we do not want her to go back to the street or empty lot.
