The Team
All members of the Cat House without exception give their time and skills on a 100% volunteer basis. We come from different backgrounds and from different countries, but we are united by a single goal: to help the street cats of Plovdiv and Bulgaria have a chance at a better life.
Most of the team members have adopted at least one Cat House cat themselves, and the Bulgarian team members also foster cats when needed.
