This lovable furry companion, named Nacho because her ears look like nachos, arrived together with James and Noisy. They came from a place where 19 cats were taken from a home where they unfortunately suffered from abuse. They were very traumatized and terrified, and one can only imagine the horrors they endured. Especially Nacho was a very, very frightened cat. It took a whole year of patience and gentle care to be able to slowly gain back her trust. She spent a lot of time watching the birdies in our bird cage.

This little feline was discovered by one of our compassionate volunteers whilst out on a walk, in a truly distressing situation. He witnessed the poor kitten getting thrown out of a car window. Despite the kitten’s understable fear, our volunteer managed to rescue him. He carried the scared, scabby and skinny kitty home in his bag and brought him to safety.

This furry feline used to live his life in a village with an owner who loved him. Sadly, when she died no one wanted him because he is "boring" and black. He is however, very friendly and loves people. He has moved around and around at the finca to find a volunteer to stay with. Currently he is staying with two lovely volunteers in their cave. He loves cuddles, mostly stays at home but also can be playful from time to time.

This canine companion made an unexpected appearance at the finca, on the very day that Iggy was rushed into the vets. Iggy, who has been with Emma since she was 18, is the reason the sanctuary started. Remarkably, Zazu looks so much like Iggy in both appearance and behaviour. When he attached himself to Emma whilst Iggy was in the vets, it was a touching and emotional sign that he wanted to join their pack. And now he is, another loyal follower of Emma

Meet Selma, an enchanting feline who came in together with her brother Salem. They were tiny, scared and abandoned kittens. Salem was quickly chosen to join a forever family, however, poor Selma was never chosen due to her "common colour". Sadly, black and white cats are very hard to rehome.

This sweet little puss cat was found in the streets. She was skin and bones, full of mange and quite sick. We thought she was going to be leukemia positive, but to our happy surprise she was not. With the correct care and treatment she has made a full recovery.
