for 150 cats with quarantine and
nursing facilities. The site will also
include four portacabins to house the
vet clinic, storage area, office, staff
room/preparation room. Electricity
will be solar and generator (until such
times as power is given to the area).
Fresh water will be delivered, and we
in hope that we have a direct supply
of non-potable water for cleaning.
The Ramblars area were the cats
will be located is perfect and is well
away from the flood zone. The Pens
will be built to specifications of 6
metres by 6 metres 2.5 metres high
and will be completely sheltered from
the elements. Inside the pens there
will be casitas at different heights
climbing posts and everything to
make the cats as comfortable as
possible. The pens will be opened
alternating at different times into a
garden area where the cats can have
lots more freedom.
We have visited various cat refuges
over the year and seen this system
work. All Cats. before they enter the
refuge must be sterilised and health
checked. Once their personality has
been established, they will go onto
the adoption website and hopefully
find their forever home either here
in Spain or abroad. Catland will be
working closely with The Association
Jávea Feral Cats who up to now have
trapped sterilised and returned to
place of capture and have fostered
kittens by kind volunteers with much
success in finding them forever
homes through their Face book page.
We will also be working closely with
APASA and any other local rescues
within the Jávea area. Our success
will depend on an active website, face
book page and publicity so that there
is a quick turn over of cats/kittens
allowing more to enter.
The Catland Refuge Centre will be
licenced by the Zoological department
of Valencia and will be administered
in accordance with strict rules and
regulations. Holding this licence will
enable adoption rights for the refuge
centre.
Catland will have weekly visits
from its chosen veterinary service
where adoption vaccinations and
general welfare checks will take place.
