Creator's Key Takeaways
What shocked us most was learning about the federal government’s plan to kill these cats, many of whom have lived peacefully in these areas for generations.
We traveled to Puerto Rico onboard MSC World America expecting beaches, culture, and adventure—but what we found broke our hearts.
Scattered along the shores of Old San Juan and beyond, we discovered a heartbreaking reality: hundreds of stray cats trying to survive in the shadows of paradise.
The cats keep the rat population down and hopefully the pigeon.
