Hi it's me Elle from Twitter!

Ok! My name is Elle Maruska and I am an American living in Spain. And I know you're here because of the unofficial cat rescue/sanctuary I kind of accidentally started!

Yes I help cats! There are lots of cats in this area who need lots of help, and there aren't too many people willing to help them. The few official rescues and shelters are always overwhelmed and so it falls on regular everyday people to use what resources we have to make life better for local cats. When my family and I moved to Spain, we thought it would be fun to foster a litter of kittens. Which then became another litter. And another. And some adults. And more kittens. And more adults. And--

You get it hah.

We (my husband, our daughter, and I) do our best to find forever homes for as many cats as possible! Seeing cats we've raised with their new families is like, my favorite thing ever! But unfortunately there are always more cats than homes, so we do our best to provide a safe, clean, loving, enriching environment for the cats still in our care. In addition, we also attempt to Trap/Neuter/Release local strays in order to curtail the cat population. We do this all on our own--we're not an official organization, and we can only do what we do because kind internet people choose to help us. It's a lot of work! It's exhausting! And overwhelming! And frustrating! And it can be horribly sad sometimes. But we keep on going because helping cats is the little bit of good we can do to make our small piece of the world better.

We need help. Like all the time. And so I created this Patreon, to not only give people a chance to support us and our work but to share things like photos, videos, updates, and other cat-related content.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you'll consider subscribing so my family and I can keep doing our best or cats.
