Yesterday (3 Feb.) I brought a sweet kitty to the Cayman Islands Humane Society. She showed up on my doorstep crying, and stayed. I am only on island till the 10th and so was unable to keep her.
I was so impressed by the care and concern of the staff at the Humane Society. However, I strongly believe it is time to address the need for a new building or a second location. It is almost impossible for volunteers to take dogs for a walk. The traffic is non-stop, and we witnessed a near accident when someone was just trying to turn into the parking lot.
If we are Caymankind then let us remember that this does not just apply towards one another, but also to these sweet pets that offer us unconditional love. After all, the first mandate God gave Adam was the care of His creatures. Much wealth is invested here, million-dollar homes and condos are everywhere, and yet the Humane Society is a small cramped building in an area that is not Caymankind for the animals.
Please know that I ‘put my money where my mouth is’ and that we did leave a generous donation, and will continue to do so. But I implore the government, the citizens, and the philanthropists to act on this matter.

Well said Janice. Wouldn’t it be great if one of our multi-millionaire residents would come up with an offer to match funds raised from the public in order to build a desperately needed new home for Humane Society animals. They would indeed be a hero.
