    The solution to reduce suffering for dogs and cats are sterilization clinics - 80% of puppies and kittens that are born die within 8 weeks of starvation or disease. Our vision is to find major sponsors to support these clinics.

    I am very proud to be working hand in hand with CANDi. Together we can make a difference in the lives of stray cats and dogs. Please consider adopting a rescue animal before you adopt a pet. A portion of the proceeds from my recent Album will be donated to CANDi. Click here!

Why CANDi?

"I have always felt helpless when visiting the Caribbean and elsewhere on vacation to see the state the animals are often in when the people have to struggle for a living. Slipping them some food at the time really doesn't help in the long term and now knowing about CANDI I can contribute and feel that I can help in some small way to alleviate the suffering."
