La Casetta Dei Gatti

Founded in 2004, La Casetta Dei Gatti is a non-profit association based in Roma, Italy working on animal welfare, community development.

La Casetta Dei Gatti is a volunteer-run cat shelter and rescue in southern Rome, operating since 2004. It takes in stray, abandoned and vulnerable cats, provides veterinary care including care for disabled cats, prepares and distributes food to the shelter's cats and nearby feral colonies, and works to find loving adoptive homes. The shelter has an agreement with the City of Rome and houses cats referred by the municipality. Volunteers take part in shifts covering feeding, cleaning and daily care, and the shelter accepts in-kind donations of cleaning supplies and food. Visits are by appointment only.
