Puglia Pooches don’t just care for dogs, they care for cats as well. Here you can meet the Puglia Pussies, the cats that Val and Mino have rescued and cared for. As well as their own rescue cats, you will find here the stories of the Casa Mare cats who are also all rescue cats and are looked after by Val and Mino’s friends, Bob and Debbie. The latest addition to the Casa Mare cats was in fact hand-reared by Val from the age of two weeks before being returned to Bob and Debbie. Her story will come later, so please check back soon.

Check out the How you can help page for more information, or if you have other fund-raising ideas, you can contact Val either by clicking on one of the social icons in the top right corner or by using the contact form.
