Gatalunya

Mission:

Our mission is to find loving, stable homes for animals in need across Spain while collaborating with rescue networks across Europe and raising awareness on the importance of responsible animal ownership in regard to safety, spay/neuter, nutrition, and prevention of abuse and neglect.

Team Gatalunya

Our story begins in September of 2018, when three of us visited an animal shelter in Cubelles, Spain. The conditions of the shelter were absolutely unimaginable and the animals were suffering greatly. No one regularly received fresh food or clean water, disease and illness were rampant, and no animals were vaccinated, chipped, or castrated. Over the course of the next few weeks, we organized our plan of action, grew our team, and buckled up for a wild ride.

In a few short months, we brought cat after cat to the vet, we organized vaccinations and castrations, we raised funds to cover the medical expenses, but most importantly, we found homes for over 50 animals. We changed their lives. We fought for them when no one else would.

But our fight didn’t stop there. We took 2019 by storm and saved the lives of over 81 animals that following year, some of which were on death row at shelters in the south of Spain. We built a foster network of trusted and reliable care givers that open their hearts and homes at a moment’s notice to foster one of our animals. We began collaborating with a local cat colony on a TNR (trap, neuter, return) and daily feeding program.

We’re proud of our accomplishments, but we won’t consider our work done until every cat and dog in Spain have loving homes. We know that our can-do attitude to animal rescue is the reason for our success. So if you’re ready to roll your sleeves up, get in touch today to be a part of the movement!
