!! NOTICE !!

DUE TO THE PASSING OF ZAPP FOUNDER STEVEN FORMAN, ZAPP IS NO LONGER ACTIVE.

Please continue to support the animals. In San Felipe, "Volunteers for Indigent and Vulnerable Animals" or VIVA has been formed to fill the void left by Steven's passing. It's a collaboration of volunteers from the two former animal care groups, ZAPP and San Felipe Animal Rescue.


For more information on VIVA visit their website.

ZAPP is an acronym for the "Zero Additional "PUP-ulation Project". ZAPP was founded by Steven Forman in 2006. We are a no-kill organization operating in San Felipe, Baja, California. ZAPP is committed to spaying and neutering up to 200 animals a month, so we can finally achieve zero additional population growth and stop city wide roundups forever, which end in euthanasia of our innocent stray and indigent street population. Through our "SHOES FOR SPAYS" Project we take donations of gently worn to brand new men's or women's shoes and turn them into money for sterilization surgeries, using our shoe store on eBAY. The link for the store can be found on the right side of this page, by scrolling down.
The ZAPP Spay/Neuter Project deals with the most immediate problem at hand, which like all cities and towns in Mexico, is fertility. Please send your resell-able shoes to: "SHOES FOR SPAYS", 95 EAST HIGHWAY 98, CALEXICO CA 92232.

Halloween, San Felipe Style


by Steven Forman

Halloween is a big deal here in San Felipe. Who knew? Last year, I was amazed at how many parties and events happened in town. For instance, the Tattoo Rose Cafe’ held an art showing by Adrena Joyce, with killer “Day of the Dead” paintings and great food and costumes. Michael and Gail Gates hosted a fabulous costume party, and Denny and Sandi Flannigan did their Halloween thing at el Dorado Ranch, There was so much Halloween spirit and mystery that night---not to mention some really cool costumes, too.

I kind of felt like an observer though---kind of hesitant to get dressed up and fully participate. Unlike my ex-partner Mark, who got into full comic drag and went all over town. He was quite a hit, as some of you will remember.

So, this year, ZAPP and I are getting onboard with a “HOWL-O-WEEN MASQUERADE BALL & DANCE PARTY” at the BeachComber on the Malecon, Friday Night, October 31st, from 7-11pm---slated to be the scariest event of them all! Complete with live DJ, emcee, delicious hors d’oeuvres and seasonal treats prepared by Chef Mark and donated by Sundance. Dance contests and costume contests with great prizes. Adrena Joyce will debut her new collection of “DAY of the DEAD” paintings. All in an effort to raise funds for ZAPP’s 2009 Spay/Neuter Project. Come on, join us and let’s party! Tickets are $20. Do not miss it!
