From June 2008 E-newsletter: King's Casino promotes Antigua and Barbuda Humane Society The Antigua and Barbuda Humane Society has erected a sign at Antigua's cruise ship dock, inviting tourists to visit nearby King's Casino and purchase humane society T-shirts. A large display case inside the casino showcases the humane society's T-shirts and cookbooks. "We sell an average of 30 shirts and 10 cookbooks monthly," said Karen Corbin, executive director of the Antigua and Barbuda Humane Society. "The exposure often results in e-mails from tourists explaining that they bought a shirt at King's and now they want to send a donation or become a member of the humane society. This is an arrangement that could work on other islands with tourist venues such as large restaurants, retail shops, or airport shops."

From May 2008 E-newsletter: Anguilla resort supports feral cat Trap-Neuter-Release program  Cap Juluca Resort has donated six cat traps to the Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation (AARF) for its feral cat Trap-Neuter-Release program that has been a success at the resort since 2004. That year, AARF approached Cap Juluca with the idea of a TNR program aimed at controlling the births of unwanted kittens on the property. Approximately 15 cats were trapped, sterilized and released back on the property where they are fed, watered and monitored by AARF member Suzie Donahue (pictured above with Hans Maissen of Cap Juluca). There are currently six feeding stations with food provided by the resort. The donated traps will be used on the property and are also available to other hotels or individuals with a feral cat problem.
