In Cervelló
we have more than 400 dogs and cats, although cats population
is the highest. Some of them have been sheltered here for a
long time.
Yo can meet most
of them through the sponsoring button below.

The Pets Shelter of Baix
Llobregat and Barcelonés (Barcelona) owning
the Cervelló Shelter (then with 450
animals), integrated into Fundación Altarriba
in July 2003, after proposal put to the vote by its members
and approved two days before.
Today, more than 500 animals are
sheltered here, due to the arrival of big groups of animals
in one go, among other reasons.
Since then, Cervelló
Shelter faces some wide and expensive reforming works,
in a progression linked to our means. Roughly speaking, these works
will-be or are-already: operating and stay rooms, repairs to the access
road and asphalted if possible, a water-treatment plant, game areas,
new facilities for the animals and pulling down the old ones, etc.
Our
dogs
We have more than 200
dogs sheltered, and some of then arrived long time ago. There is almost
any breed and mixed, age, color, temperament, size and origin.
Most of them, as it could be saddly
imagined, come from the two classical reasons to abandon: holidays
and the death of the owner. In both cases, a family couldn't
care less for the future of the dog, if he survives or dies:
a family has decided above all that the dog gets in the way.
Caly,
a big love whose owner died. 11 years old but still teaching
joy exists.
Duna.
Abandoned with an untreated broken paw that had to be later
amputated.
Sultán.
Another owner died trusting in his still living relatives
and then heirs...
Dogs adopted here are vaccinated, microchiped
and, if the age allows it, also neutered.
Our
cats
In Cervelló Shelter we
have always have a weakness for cats and, in fact, they are
the largest population.
One of the most relevant points
to identify Cervello Shelters is that cats with possitive testing
results live toghether, grouped according to their disease.
They enjoy here a peaceful life, cared for, with covered areas
and garden, medicated and with no health risk to other cats
or to themselves.
And they are also adopted,
by the way, by wonderful people who have no other cat or who already
have one suffering from the same disease.
The Cats of the
Harbor of Barcelona
The relocation
of these cats is one of the most difficult rescue operations
we have ever faced. After a hard work, more than
200 cats have been moved to Cervelló Shelter
from the breakwater, a place where they had been
surviving just thanks to the individual effort of private
volunteers.
For years, inhabitants of
Barcelona have abandoned their cats between those cement
blocks, and there the animals have been suffering poundings
from waves, weather, cars and hooligans.
For many months a wide rescue
operation has been carried out, catching and taking them to
their new and exclusive facilities in Cervelló Shelter.
They arrived in small groups to their new home where, after
a checkup, were left well alone to calm down and get used to
us and to the new surroundings at their own pace.
Views
of their facilities. The open country is accesible and some
of them already go out for short walks.
