Adopt

Those that nobody wants

There are some animals that have it very difficult to find a family. Because of their past, because they are sick or because they are of their race, people reject them. If you are thinking of adopting, do not discard them: from our protector we help you to help them.

5

The elders – If you adopt them, you will give them an end of life full of love.

5

The sick – they need generous families who want to take care of them

5

The potentially dangerous dogs – They are dogs like any other, but society has stigmatized them.

5

Those who are afraid – Their past has made them suspicious, but they too need to find a home.

I do!

The Shelters

A shelter will never be a home, but as long as they are not adopted, we will continue to ensure that abandoned animals find in the shelters that we manage love and protection.

Street Cats of Mataró

Cats that live on the street are subjected daily to many dangers, such as being run over or being affected by diseases that reduce their life expectancy. These cats, in addition, evolve without human contact, which makes their introduction to a home or shelter unfeasible.
