Cats of Abruzzo

New entry - Coal ❤️

On Monday he’ll be going to the vets for blood tests, urine tests, and a FIV/FeLV test

If anyone can help out by donating to our current GoFundMe, it would be very much appreciated 🙏 We currently have 55 cats in rescue

3 weeks of Iron. He’s been through a lot and he’s still got a long way to go #catrescue

Ida went back to work yesterday after a well-deserved break only to have 2 people tell her about this cat. Today, Ida found her and took her to our vets. She is less than 2 years old and COVERED in mange. She’s got a long way to go #catsofbluesky #catrescue

Handsome boy, Harvey ❤️ #catsofbluesky

We have 7 FeLV+ cats at the moment. Here are Charlie, Kelly, Sabrina, and Jill, born in spring of 2023 to FeLV+ mamma, Andromeda ❤️ #felvcats

Just some of our cuties enjoying the Italian sun on a winter’s day ❤️ #catsofbluesky

Got a new cat house up today in the FeLV cats’ enclosure ❤️ just another 7 to build 😂 1 more of these, 2 smaller houses, and 5 individual hutches #catrescue #catsofbluesky

Evander has a new role as my groundskeeping assistant - the long-term residents need to earn their keep 😜 he’s very helpful, as you can probably imagine 🫠 #catsofbluesky #catrescue

BlueSky, meet Harvey ❤️ we found Harvey in June 2023 with a horrific, infected burst abscess. He weighed just over 2kg and took months to heal up, but look at him now 🧡 #catsofbluesky #rescuecats

Just some gorgeous boys being gorgeous - Cosmos, Astro, Stardust, Evander ❤️ #catsofbluesky #gorgeousboys

The transformation of our plot

- First photo March 2023 when we first found the land
- Second photo March 2024 just the small wooden structure
- November 2024 four secure enclosures housing 30 cats

It feels like it’s already been such a long road but we’re really just getting started! #catlovers

Hey, we are in Prezza, just outside Sulmona. The more people who are in this fight, the better, no matter what their contribution is! It’s hard work but necessary 💪🙏

Oh thank you so much! Your babies are gorgeous ❤️❤️

Apollo is 1 of 7 FeLV cats that we care for. He was not in great condition when he arrived - skinny, bad skin, dull coat, horrific diarrhoea and a major upper respiratory infection. I suspected he was FeLV positive right from the start - and sadly, my hunch was correct #catrescue #felvcats

The reason why I do all of this ❤️

Astro (tabby and white), Evander (ginger), and Stardust (ginger and white) ❤️

We have a separate enclosure for our FeLV positive cats, we have 7 in total, at the moment. We’re currently running a GoFundMe campaign to buy more cat houses for each of the four enclosures that house the 30 cats currently in the sanctuary gofund.me/b6d6ac06

The snow has arrived on our mountains - finally! I’ll be honest, I hate snow, but I’ve learnt to love it since it is our water reservoir for the summer and I love plants ❤️ #lifeinitaly

Just some shots from today ❤️ #catrescue #catsofbluesky

Bluesky, meet Apollo! Apollo is one of our resident FeLV positive cats. He arrived here on the 15th April, full of an upper respiratory infection, horrific diarrhoea, and just generally in bad shape. 1
month later he tested positive for FeLV #catsofbluesky #felvcats

I will do my best! There are a lot of cats here, so plenty to show
❤️

Replaced the straw in the FeLV enclosure and it was all very exciting apparently!

We have 7 FeLV-positive cats - Apollo (black), Stella (tortoiseshell), Andromeda (large calico), and her four kittens Charlie (grey), Jill (small calico), Sabrina (dilute calico), and Kelly (grey and white) #cats

What happens when it rains!

Cats Of Abruzzo is an independent cat rescue, we’re just 3 people, doing our best to make life a little better for the cats in our tiny corner of the world.

If you like cats, you’re in the right place ❤️

Beautiful Pepita, one of “our” strays 🥰 She’s spayed, vaccinated and microchipped

So this profile has been here for a while, but I completely forgot about it.

I’m told it’s full of cat-loving people over here, can anyone confirm that? 😉
