CATLAND was inaugurated on the 24th September and will be managed by Pat Earle thanks to the work that BARC Busot Animal Rescue Concern Alicante No cv01044306A and all its team of volunteers do, especially Yvonne Flanagan the person responsible for the cats.
In this project, the company X-Elio collaborated, assuming the costs of the perimeter fence and some other contributions, and thanks to this company that will soon settle in Busot, the dream of a home for abandoned cats has come true.
Many to Isabel Ruiz, from X-Elio, to Irene and the rest of the team, to Jesus Moreno Sanchez for being the link between all, to the animal welfare council, for its involvement, and to all who have made possible the launch of “Catland”. Today the abandoned cats have a home where they are cared for.
We keep going 💪🏽 💪🏽
Several months ago, our mayor Alejandro Morant on behalf of Ayuntamiento de Busot / Ajuntament de Busot gave us an old casita.
I had a plan for this to turn it into a duplex of cozy cat apartments. Ross S Toward immediately understood my plan and the result was this. Yes it needs weather proof paint, but the plan worked.
We have been gifted three more by Alejandro and his team and Ross has already set out converting them for the healthy cats at the new CATLAND.
We have so many offers of help for this project. Carl Price from Price Brothers UK. Albertus Hertsenberg who donated some fencing which is being re-used for quarantines and the company X- elio , a solar power company who want to pay for external fencing amongst other things.
Our latest addition at Barcland is the swimming pool for the dogs, opened in the Summer of 2004. The dogs can now cool off during the summer heat, no doubt the volunteers will be getting a cooling spray as well.
The pool was built by Alan Brenchley with money kindly donated by The Price Family UK.@Carl Price

Alex the magnificent masterpiece created and sculpted by Enco Enzo Caan, was placed in his central position at the Land. We named him Alex to honor of our mayor Alejandro Morant ,who found this land for us. He negotiated the best price for us to buy it. He and the Town Hall have been supportive of our project.
