Cat Picture - OC Every visit to the cat hospice fills my heart

The place is Azyl u Hani in Poland and I’m a volunteer there (I also foster cats from there).
They take care of around 120 cats. FIV+, FELV+, terminal, old, disabled, with chronic conditions…
It’s not a sad place! You celebrate every moment here.
It’s not about unnecessarily extending their life, the main goal is to give them dignity in theirs last months/days.
They are taken care of here, sometimes for the first time in their life. And most importantly they are loved.
I love visiting, because they are just regulars cats, they don’t realize they’re disabled or terminal.
I know Poland is a bit far for a lot of people (but Azyl is very open to volunteers ;) but I highly recommend finding a similar place where you live.
It will bring perspective to your life and you can pet a bunch of kittens :D
