Two kittens. A new beginning.
A little food, some warmth and two kittens curled up together. This is how Happy Cats, Happy Life began.
Read the storyIt started with two little kittens.
We're a husband and wife in Korçë, Albania. Two little kittens brought this project to life. Now we're working to create a rescue cat café, one careful step at a time.
For the cats. With a little help from you.
Small beginnings. A kinder future.
See where we areA small beginning.
A bigger hope.
We found them outside, cold and meowing. We couldn’t see their mum, so we brought them indoors, gave them food and kept them warm.
That evening became the beginning of Happy Cats, Happy Life. We want to create a place where cats are cared for, people can spend time with them over coffee, and suitable homes can be found.
We’re learning, making plans, and taking the next steps. We’ll share the small moments and the honest progress here.

goes a long way.
We’re getting this off the ground with our own efforts and whatever support we can raise. If you’d like to be part of the beginning, we’d be grateful.
