    Description

    Welcome to our little Cat Sanctuary in the southern part of Croatia, we are a few minutes off the beautiful coast of the Adriatic sea nestled in a 5 acre Olive Grove

    The heart and soul of our property is our cat sanctuary, where we provide a safe, loving home for rescued, injured and abandoned cats and kittens

    My Husband and I live in the main house, and we have built a cosy one-bedroom tiny home exclusively for our guests.There is a beautiful outdoor area surrounded by oak trees and traditional stone walls. We are completely off the grid, but you'll enjoy all the modern comforts, including high-speed internet with two Starlink systems, a swimming pool, and our guest cottage is fully equipped with kitchen washroom and laundry facilities

    Looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, while making a meaningful difference in the lives of rescued animals, we'd love to welcome you to our home and to make a meaningful difference at our cat sanctuary!
