BRAVO TOPOTHESIA!

GREAT adoption/divulgation/awareness/charity event this afternoon at Café Topothesia in Ginowan! A university's young crowd participated massively at the cool café where we brought seven young cats from Myu-san's shelter. It has been a success, as two cuuuute kittens have been adopted by a couple who lives nearby and the next week, after some vet checks, will go for a better life with a loving family.

We gave a bunch of brochures about TNR programs and lent some books about how living with a cat to... beginners. We sold some items and people donated money, so we could save a little amount of $ for the TNRs coming (the next one in Okinawa-shi, from the 9th to the 11th September).

Satoko, as usual in these situations, has been a professional in talking/convincing people to adopt a cat. BRAVA! And so Myu-san, who still has the superpower of taking care of stray cats and bringing them to such events. Last but not least, ほんとにどうもありがとうございました to the young guys of Café Topothesia that organized the event and hosted us. Now I'm tired but... happy!

PINK DOT, 4th ROUND

More people than in the past - around 1500 - yesterday by Tenbusu Building, along Kokusai-dori, for the 4th edition of the annual event held by Pink Dot Okinawa, the local LGBT community. Many Japanese people and foreigners participated. 

Events in the event have been Naha's first municipally-recognized same sex couple certification by the city's mayor, the entry of major brand sponsors as JAL, and the presence of several celebrity guests. At the end a typical summer, sudden rain, to bless the pink community. Fun, as usual! See you next year, ciao!
