I spent Saturday afternoon at the Halloween open doors event of Cat Rescue in Woluwe-St-Lambert (a borough of Brussels).
The first time I heard about this cat shelter was two years ago. I wanted to help a homeless pet but couldn't find a good match as I was still grieving Avalon. A friend sent me a link to the Cat Rescue website, Romero's picture stayed open on my computer for several days (he was still called Herbert back then), and I adopted him on December 22nd, 2014. He's now happily purring by my side.
But today, I'd like you to meet the other cats of the shelter.
Come on in, there are lots of Halloween treats inside...
Get yourself some quiche and a vegan Halloween muffin.
Now let's focus on the cats...
My favorite was Balou (second picture) who looks rough but is 8.2 kg of pure love. Ophélia (first picture) was a real sweetheart, too.
While I was there, a visitor optioned Hector.
The cat shelter provides enough wet food, kibble, and kitty milk to keep the cats healthy and happy...
And a large outdoor area to get those kitty legs moving.
By the way, how lovely are those autumn colors.
Don't leave just yet. Get some presents for your cats and fellow cat lovers first.
Address: Avenue de Mai 216, 1200 Woluwe-St-Lambert, Belgium (close to the metro station Gribaumont)
What will you be doing for Halloween? Will you go to the Cat Rescue Halloween event?
This post about Cat Rescue was published in conjunction with Cotopaxi and National Cat Day. Cotopaxi is an outdoor-wear company based in Salt Lake City, Utah, that is focused on giving back and making a positive social impact. They donate a portion of every sale to world poverty initiatives, and their travel backpacks help provide the most relief. To carry on their mission, they raised awareness for local humane societies on National Cat Day.
Perfect for National Cat Day.
ReplyDeleteThat orange tabby would've come home with me.
Running a shelter is something I would love to do. Just to make sure they had a safe place until they were adopted.
What lovely cats. I would love to own another cat but two is enough for now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day, spent with beautiful cats!!! I would love to take them all, if I could!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite things about cats, and there are lots of them is they wear their emotions. Balfou is not looking very happy today. Bless his grumpy heart.
ReplyDeleteWallace is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful shelter for the kitties who are waiting to be adopted. Not many shelters offer such nice rooms, activities, and even access to the outdoors.
So glad you found Romeo or Romeo found you. Love all these pictures and these cats seem so happy except for the dark haired kitty...he needs some lovin:)
ReplyDeletecute cats! I hope they find a nice home soon:)
