Il santuario dei gatti

SULLE SCALE DEL Teatro di Pompeo, dove i congiurati uccisero Giulio Cesare alle Idi di marzo, vivono i gatti di Roma. È Torre Argentina, il regno dei gatti, curati e assistiti come non mai.

Money quote: “Since the mid-1990s, the population has grown from about 90 to the current 250, and the organization has ramped up with care for sick or wounded cats, as well as an extensive spay and neuter program to keep the feral population in check. Most of the permanent residents have special needs—they are blind or missing legs or came from abusive homes.”
