Sobre nosotros
When we moved to Spain in 2017, the idea of opening a cat centre was never in our minds. Then, in October 2023, our beautiful boy, Gingy, came into our lives, a tiny, scruffy baby crying in the rain alone on the streets, and he changed everything. The following June, on a scorching day, Toby was found in the blazing heat, even smaller and younger than Gingy. He was alone and terrified. Later we discovered he is partially blind and surely would have died if we hadn't found him. The following February, Lilith followed us home, a small, skinny girl alone on the streets and pregnant. We could no longer sit idly by. There was an increasing number of cats on our streets, many with health problems or pregnant, all without a safe place to go to recover. It was then that we decided to take action. The recovery centre was what we felt was desperately needed. We formed a group with other people who also wanted to help to start capturing stray cats to sterilize and release them, and our role would be to provide them with a safe place to recover from surgery. At the beginning of our adventure, we were contacted many times about new born babies abandoned in rubbish bins and injured cats that had been attacked by other cats or hit by cars. We couldn't ignore them, so we opened our home and provided them with a safe place to recover and grow. We have done significant renovations in our home to adapt the centre and turn it into a safe and comfortable place for everyone who comes through our doors.
We work closely with several veterinarians, including trauma specialists and neurologists, to ensure that every cat in our care receives the best medical attention.
Our priority is always the well-being of the cats, and we have a fantastic group of people who share our goals.
