The Red
El Rojo, (the red one) is a cat from the colony that lives in the garden of an elderly Spanish man. I call this sweet old man Grandpa.
Grandpa asked me for help a long time ago when I met him in the village. He supposedly has many cats and kittens on his property and although he loves them very much, he does not have the means to help them with food and medical care. They kept getting kittens but only a few or none survived because the Mamas themselves had nothing and simply could not raise them. Grandpa can just about make ends meet for himself but cannot buy food for the kittens.
I said I would come and watch and if I would help, it would only be on condition that I could also castrate and sterilize them all. That was fine.
I found super skinny kittens and kittens in poor health.
Grandpa sometimes gave them some leftover food and dry bread, but of course these are not suitable foods.
I now feed them every day, together with Faithje, Lowietje and Sofietje, 3 dogs that are also up for virtual adoption (see our list). All cats and dogs have now been sterilized and castrated, medically treated and are starting to become decent cats.
El Rojo was still my real friend before the castration. He liked to see me coming because that means food!! El Rojo is one of the few cats that does not immediately forgive and forget, since the castration he does not want to have much to do with me anymore. He quickly flees to the roof and waits there with food until I am far enough away again. Grandpa finds it hilarious to watch every time.

Your virtual adoption helps us continue to support them with food, medical care and love.
The cats/dogs were all helped by Manos Amigas using the TNR method, which stands for Trap-Neuter-Return (catch, neutralize and release).
The cats on our site are not suitable for rehoming in a home.
