A veterinarian has offered to volunteer her time in participation with the McKee Foundation to hold an "almost free" spay and castration week in Jaco Beach. Katja Bader from the foundation is scheduling appointments by phone or email for your own cats and dogs that need to be operated, as well as any strays that you are able to bring in. The appointments will be scheduled to start February 2nd, 2010 and may span up until the 7th depending on how many animals are brought in.

For anyone who can't afford the c2,500 (example for those bringing in stray animals), the Foundation will also cover those costs.

Please contact Katja by calling (506) 2643 4012 or sending her an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

This is an excellent opportunity that members of the community should take advantage of, especially with strays as the operations normally cost in excess of c20,000 (~$40) to perform.

Rossy Quesada Gomez, Owner of Cafe del Mar

The "Golden Paw Award" is presented twice a year by our organization, and it's purpose is to honor local people in our community for their compassion and service toward animals. On December 16, 2009, the award was presented to Rossy Quesada Gomez, the popular owner of Cafe del Mar, located in front of the new park on Jaco's main street.

Rossy helps all animals who happen by her restaurant or her house. She feeds them when they are hungry, makes sure that they get fixed and fosters them until they get adopted. All animals are welcome at her place – she has 3 cats and 9 dogs of her own, with many others that are just visitors. Some of them she found injured on the street, others just came to her place and never left – and why would they?

Thank you Rossy, for all the time and love you give to those furry little friends who need your help.

If you would like to see the presentation "Life" – tune in to channel 11 (on CableTica Jaco) in January – we will inform you of the exact day and time.
