Irene

Irene is the cat who chooses to live with us at the Lemontree. She actually did choose Bella. Here is the story. Last year we were tending to some business in Mayaguez when this very small kitty came up to Bella in a parking lot and began to rub on her legs. She and I looked at each other and after scouting around for a possible owner we took her home. Since then she has developed a rigorous schedule. Up with the dawn, meow... we let her out. She then scouts around the Lemontree and checks up on guests. Those guests that welcome cats she tends. Later morning... snooze. Lunch. Some lizard hunting and during the heat of the day a lot of laying about on cool tile. Towards the evening, more hunting. At dark... she comes in for dinner and social time and then to sleep.

A nice kitty life.

She is a great cat and most catlike. She looks after guests and keeps down any unwanted critters about the tree.

In Rincon we support the Animal Rescue Fund... known as ARF. This organization protects strays and works to find homes for them. We have had a few guests who come to the Lemontree for a holiday and leave with a pet.
