Looking for Don Still in Costa Rica
 
I’m still looking for Don and I’ve been invited to present at a Small Cat Conference in Costa Rica, so Jamie and I gathered all the veterinary books we could get and flew down.  I paid for a woman from some other country (I forget where now) to attend because of the great work she was doing in another Latin American country and I pay for Pat Quillen to attend as well.  It’s a huge expense, but the small cats really need a champion.
 
I met Dr. Jim Sanderson at this event who was doing important work for small exotic cats and I helped with his presentation tech issues. 
 
Later I noted: It would be the beginning of a long term professional relationship with him where Big Cat Rescue would become the largest funder of his work, other than the Prince of Saudi Arabia. 
 
I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
 
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
