With so many activities going on, February is going to be a very busy month, not just at Hospital Cornerstone but throughout Vallarta. This month we celebrate Valentine's Day... but I like to refer to it as Día de Amistad (Friendship Day,) as it is here in Mexico. Give your friends a hug, tell them how much they mean to you!

CUALE ISLAND CAT ADOPTIONS
Starting Saturday February 3rd, there will be adoptions of the Cuale Island cats in front of the South Side Rizo's store every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 pm. The new administration has already set plans in motion to get the cats off the island once and for all, with many good reasons. But we have a temporary stay, the PV Animal Acopio is working with us to get as many healthy cuties out of there as quickly as possible, so they can be neutered, spayed, and adopted.
