Our hearts (and cat beds) are full! It all started with a litter of 5 found in a bush by one of our volunteers, then another little boy was found on his own on a roundabout, then another litter of 6 arrived, then another litter of 4! And suddenly our cattery is full and we now have 16 kittens looking for their forever homes.

These little ones are friendly, playful, used to children and other cats, and ready to become part of a family. Sadly, their story isn’t unusual for Tenerife. In fact, that’s the problem. Every rescue we speak to is overwhelmed with kittens, and finding homes has become harder than ever.

And in the meantime, while they wait for their new homes, each kitten needs food, vaccinations, parasite treatments, veterinary care and eventually sterilisation. It all adds up quickly when we have 16 little ones! If you’re not able to offer a home to one of the kittens but would still like to help, you can sponsor them or make a donation to help us give them a good head start in life.
