Coeur d’Alene, USA

Havana, Cuba
The cats in these photos find solace and comfort in the lively city of Havana, the capital city of Cuba. Because of the lack of strict spaying and neutering programs, which lead to uncontrolled breeding among the cat population, the number of stray cats in Havana is notable. Also contributing to the presence of stray cats are the limited resources and infrastructure for animal welfare organizations, economic challenges faced by some residents, and the transient nature of some neighborhoods.
