Tigre was a homeless kitten that was just a few weeks old and roaming the downtown streets of Cotacachi.  One morning, a volunteer from Amici Cannis was taking a walk and heard loud ‘meow’ cries coming from the street.  The volunteer stopped and looked down to see a tiny kitten standing on the sidewalk looking like she oversaw the world!  She snapped a quick photo of this adorable little ‘tiger’ cat and, before she knew it, the kitten walked right up to her begging for love.  The volunteer picked her up and walked her over to Amici Cannis Hospital to surrender her to their care.  She knew this little kitten didn’t have a chance of surviving on the busy downtown streets of Cotacachi.  This newly named kitten, “Tigre" somehow knew it was her lucky day!

Thanks to the Amici Cannis Sterilization program of street animals, Tigre was sterilized, treated for fleas, and received vaccinations.  Over the next 3 days, the volunteer continued to visit the hospital to check on tiny Tigre.  She would spend time sitting on the clinic floor while Tigra smothered her with her sweet charm and loving personality. 

Fast forward years later, Tigre is still smothering the same volunteer with her charm and loving personality.  Yes, that early morning years ago, Tigra found her forever home as the volunteer fell in love with the little kitten that she named Tigre.
