New #ROLDAcats projects for Romanian cats in need
ROLDA believes aging animals deserve to enjoy their twilight years in a peaceful setting. For more than a decade, our supporters have enabled us to provide a healthy habitat and optimal healthcare to hundreds of aging and disabled dogs in our sanctuary, helping them age gracefully under qualified supervision.
Aging and disabled cats are about to finally have a place to call HOME
ROLDA is happy to announce that we are finishing building of the cat sanctuary and we can’t be any prouder of it! And very grateful to you all.
With no sanctuary for aging or disabled cats in eastern Romania, a region the equivalent to the entire country of Switzerland, their future was dark and uncertain. Thanks to our supporter’s generosity, ROLDA can finally offer adequate care for these sensitive felines need.
Considering that the sanctuary has a limited capacity (max 30 cats) and also considering the vulnerability of its residents, we set a few rules to welcome a new cat:
● Each new cat will stay in quarantine for 14 days
● Cat needs to have a negative result for Fcov/FVP/Giardia and Felv before joining the other cats
● Cat must be spayed/neutered
● For cats directly transferred from owners, proof of vaccination is also mandatory.
These rules that are enforced to protect the resident cats and their fragile environment.
In the same time, ROLDA continues to assist pet owners whose cats need medical attention. Read more about ROLDA work for cats here.

NOTE: We are currently in Phase IV of the project (50000 RON equivalent of 10000 USD to be raised), where we welcome you to contribute to enrich our cats living conditions. Considering that some of our residents will permanently remain in our care, they don’t just need a clean sandbox, quality food, and medicines, but also toys and accessories that will keep them busy and happy.
