Our cat 2018 Fiesta Medal features Chapo, a handsome cat with a distinctive mustache and a winning personality. Chapo was one of three black and white kittens born to a feral mother in Lavaca and rescued by caring neighbors. Each kitten, their mother, and the rest of the members of their colony were spayed or neutered, and vaccinated through our free Cannolicare and Community Cat Carpool programs. Chapo won the heart of his rescuers and now lives inside with them. His siblings, Kawhi and Pico, were adopted together into another loving home. In honor of San Antonio’s Tricentennial, Chapo peers through the historic Rose Window at Mission San Jose, with a starry sky behind him. He wears a sash proclaiming “Spay/Neuter Pets,” a key component of our mission.
Stella, an energetic young black and white mixed breed, is our 2018 Fiesta dog medal model. Found along the San Antonio river near Mission Concepción, Stella had no ID tag, no microchip, and had not been spayed. Although it appeared that Stella had been on the streets for some time, she thankfully tested heartworm negative. Our Cannolicare program covered her vetting, vaccinations, and spaying. Stella is now a happy, healthy, and loving companion to her rescuer, now forever mom. Stella wears a yellow rose (of Texas) behind one ear and the San Antonio River flows behind her. Her bandana reads “SA 300” for San Antonio’s 2018 Tricentennial Celebration, “Fiesta 2018,” and “Spay and Neuter Pets.”
All proceeds support our free programs which include Cannolicare/SOS grants for veterinary care, the Community Cat Carpool, Spay/Neuter Reimbursement, Cannoli’s Kitchen monthly pet food delivery, Cannoli’s Canteen neighborhood pet water bowls, microchip scanning for found animals, and more.
