You gotta love any organization with a name like Arubakitten.org. The recipe is pretty simple. Take an incredible island with sunsets you will never forget, waters so clear and blue you can see straight to the bottom, and add in cute little kittens and cats in need of homes and you have this very cool group. After all there are plenty of people to take care of tourists. We can’t go ten feet without a valet driver for our car, a bellman offering to take our bags or any number of island employees waiting on us hand and foot. But the little furry friends of the island need a little TLC too and luckily there are dedicated volunteers to make this happen.
Arubakitten.org knows how to name its little ones. You’ll find Elmo, Fred, Wilma and Pebbles which admittedly sounds a lot like the Flintstone family! These cute cats and kittens have been saved from the streets and are taken in with tender, loving care. They get medical care, high quality food and probably what they need most, attention. They get lots and lots of that from the volunteers. So if you are planning a vacation to Aruba, how can you help? Believe it or not you can and it just might make for a very memorable trip. Why not take one home with you?
Arubakitten.org sends their furry friends home with tourists every day. You got it right, you can bring home one of these little guys or gals to the US. (You might not read this part to your kids unless you plan on brining one back home!) They have done this so many times they have an easy system for you to adopt. They will give you the certificate you need for customs and you can even have the cat or kitten ride on the plane back home with you under your seat. Of course they will need a ticket that can cost anywhere from $75 to $125 but it will be money well spent, especially when you have a constant reminder year after year of the great memories of your trip to Aruba.
So pack your bags for the trip of a lifetime and don’t forget the animals when you are there. Arubakitten.org would love to see you as they spread the word about adoptions and successfully controlling the animal population of the island. Aruba is ready for you and your newly adopted pet.
