Hi! We are volunteers who look after feral cat colonies in Montjuïc, Barcelona. We feed around 14 cats every day. We also build little shelters for them to take refuge in when the weather's bad. If they're ill or injured we trap them to take them to the vet, sometimes with the help of an association, but they often lack resources so we pay out of our own pockets. We also find homes for some of the cats when they can no longer survive on the street for whatever reason.
Micro social project set up via Colony Cats Montjuïc, volunteers who look after feral cats in Montjuïc, Barcelona. We wanted to give David, a homeless guy, a small job helping us to look after the cats, so we needed to raise some funds to pay him.

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone!
This update is well overdue, I know, I'm sorry :-(
Since my last update our colony has reduced in number. We've had some sad losses- one of our cats (Perla) was killed on the road and another (Carey) was found dead, due to natural causes, we think, she was old and in poor health). We also had a couple of cats just disappear. Lancelot, my favourite boy, had just been released back into the colony after being treated at the vet. We never saw him again. Heartbreaking. And a couple of weeks ago Mamba went missing. She had a neurological condition we think and we were starting to look for a foster home for her so that she could be checked out and treated. Without a home willing to take these cats, we can't take them to the vet for testing and then just put them back on the street. We are now down to 7 cats. All current cats are healthy apart from Sombra, who has a chronic respiratory problem and needs to be treated with antibiotics every now and again.
Time for some good news: David, the homeless guy we were helping to get back on his feet, now has his own little workshop :-). He buys second-hand snowboards and gives them a new lease of life or converts them into sandboards. He's doing very well :-)). As he's now based on the other side of the city, he helps out with some street cats over there, through Progat.
To wrap up, I just want to say a huge thanks to all of you for supporting David and all our kitties, it makes a big difference.
Have a happy, healthy and successful 2026!
Lisa
