Torre Argentina (Rome) Cat Sanctuary Reopens to Public

The cat sanctuary at Torre Argentina in downtown Rome has reopened to the public. This report indicates the volunteers were able to continue caring for the cats despite having to reduce the number of onsite folks each day. They even managed to continue with their sterilization program, though at a very reduced level.

As you probably know Roman cats have always found shelter amongst the ancient ruins in our city. The numerous postcards here of cats sitting on stumps of old Roman columns, cat napping on the foot of an emperor's statue, or just lounging near the Colosseum testify to the deep rooted image cats have in our city.

Not surprisingly, they are in need of donations. It's easy to do via Paypal if you're so inclined.

My Torre Argentina cat is named Neronia and she is a black beauty. Every paypal donation is rewarded with a detailed email regarding the status of the kitties and staff.
