There is a new animal welfare group based in Coronado, serving that community and neighboring communities in the South Bay. The Coronado Community Animal Rescue and Education Society held a launch party on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at the Coronado Municipal Golf Course. Invited dignitaries, friends and family numbered over 100 and were treated to hosted appetizers and celebratory drinks presented by CCARES. Dozens of local businesses showed their support by donating raffle prizes to help raise funds for the new group’s programs. Prior to the raffle drawing, Coronado CARES President Gloria Aberasturi introduced the founding members and shared the mission and goals of the group.

Coronado CARES Mission Statement & Goals

The Coronado Community Animal Rescue & Education Society has been founded to promote animal welfare, to provide resources for proper animal care and to reduce the number of homeless animals by implementing programs currently not being carried out in the community.

Some specific goals are stated as follows:
  • Establish a foster care network to provide foster homes for orphaned cats and dogs to help make them more adoptable.
  • Establish a Trap Neuter Return (TNR) program to humanely stabilize the feral cat population by ending the cycle of breeding and improving the lives of cats living outdoors.
  • Maintain a comprehensive spay/neuter program via clinic and/or mobile van and including a low cost voucher program. This may include micro chipping and low-cost vaccines.
  • Obtain a storefront to carry out our mission to bring the orphaned animals to the people for adoption. This would include a venue for educational programs onsite.
  • Organize owner assistance services for those in need so they do not lose their animals – i.e. meals on wheels for pet owners, dog walking, and litter box cleaning.
  • Said Aberasturi about the formation of the group, “The root cause of homelessness was not being addressed here or in neighboring communities.”
A number of people in the community questioned whether or not the new animal rescue organization would be in competition with the existing group, PAWS of Coronado.

In response, Sgt. Eric Hima of the Coronado Police Department said, “There will be some overlap, but I don’t think there is going to be a power struggle. For all of us it's matter of getting the animals into a good home and the more people we have working towards that goal, the more animals we will save. Sgt. Hima oversees the city’s Animal Care Facility.

Gloria Aberasturi invited everyone to attend the first monthly open meeting on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 6:00pm in the Winn Room at the Coronado Public Library.

She added that “There are many ways you can contribute to Coronado CARES including volunteering, attending the monthly open meetings, making a donation and spreading the word.”

Blessed are those people behind The Coronado Community Animal Rescue and Education Society because they are doing this because of their passion in taking care of animals. Please remember that we all deserve to live a life that is peaceful an harmless. It's just sad that there are still people who tend to be very abusive towards animals.
