Living outside has become a separate culture that thrives on its own. As a result to that, outdoor furniture has shown a revolution – in style, in materials, in colours and in applications. Today total furnishing for outdoor living has become the newest trend.

Since May 2010 OKAPI is facing a major rescue project that includes the saving of about 80 dogs. Most of them were living in caves and were completely exhausted. Some dogs were even pregnant. When we took out the future mother, Paloma, from a dark cave and put her in a nice environment, we noticed that she was pregnant, but due to her miserable condition, we miscalculated the time of pregnancy. So, big surprise when only a couple of days later we were facing 3 pups..

Recently OKAPI found on a finca around Majanicho, between heaps of waste, a bunch of animals like 74 dogs, 7 cats, goats, cheap, parrots, hens, turkeys and ferrets. The owner of the finca, Manolo, was happy to co-operate – as he did before when we went out to solve a problem – and an 8-step rescue plan was generated, together with “Twinkle Trust”.

The first action was at the end of April and included the castration of 7 cats with the help of “Twinkle Trust”, an association that is dedicated to the castration of wild cats.

 

 

Too weak to miau, the little kitten looked at me with eyes full of fear and clogged with pus from infection. A friendly local found the animal at night in a box on the street of Puerto del Rosario. A handful of tiny cat, not weighing more than 50gms and not older than 12 days! Eyes and nose clogged due to infection, hypothermic, exhausted. The vet didn’t give us much hope, but we were determined: we’re gonna go for it!!!

Entering your new home or wanting to change the looks of it without spending too much? Maybe a new wall decoration can do wonders. Here are some ideas:

Glicée print.

A glicée print is a printed copy of an original artwork that generally is signed, has the same looks as the original, but is a lot cheaper. The print quality is good, the colours are stable to light and the finishing is to standard.

 

The diagnosis was shattering; the chances for survival were little: the life of the Schnauzer Mundo was hanging on a tight rope. But destiny was showing mercy as he met with people who took care of his little, wounded life. An example of unconditional love. Thank you.

 

In September 2009 OKAPI organised a second cat castration campaign in the North of Fuerteventura whereby 232 cats were treated. During the January campaign in the South, 168 cats were treated. Altogether 400 cats!!! Focus is the castration, de-worming and de-bugging of wild and hotel cats. Ill cats will receive medical treatment.

 

Almost everyone who lives on the island knows about Happy Plants and their beautiful plants, trees and cacti that are being taken care of with love and dedication.
But… Happy Plants recently became a nursery to many plants as Saskia is growing her own generation now.

Certainly, a bedroom’s first task is to provide a cosy atmosphere to enjoy a comfortable sleep. Correct lighting and sufficient storage capabilities are others...

I was called by our vet in February of 2009 and she said that there was a cat trapped in a cellar. Nor the police, neither the firemen were prepared to free the poor animal, so I decided to meet up with the vet. When we arrived, we witnessed a devastating situation. The cat must have been trapped there for a while as she was skinny and totally without a fur. We organised a ladder and I managed to climb through a small window into an extremely dirty room.

Hello,

I wanted to send you a couple of pictures of our wonderful dog Apollo. We both enjoy each others company and have a lot of fun. When the weather is fine he is out all day, pops in every 10 mins to see if we’re still there and licks our hands before he shoots off again. When the lady of the house leaves then he bays like a wolf and stays put at the gate till she returns… But then the excitement is enormous, even after only 2 mins of absence. A real buddy and his behaviour and dependence are amazing.

 

Sweet greetings from Büdingen

You never plan it, but there he/she is. A kitten or a puppy without mammy or owner, skinny and tired, they ask for food and drink. Most of the times, people tend to give bread and milk, but milk provokes cramps and diarrhoea – to dogs AND cats! The best is to give dry food which you can find in any supermarket and that can be softened with water. Please do not feed animals for a couple of weeks and then leave them behind. The OKAPI team will take care. Just ask the reception for the OKAPI telephone number and make a call, but be aware that they do not have a 24hour service.
