The founders
Paco Salvador
Mari Borràs
Àlex Salvador
Mari Borrás, Paco Salvador and Álex Salvador had always cared for abandonded dogs and cats in one or another. However, towards the end of 2004 is when they really started doing it in a more organised fashion, in the way of the Jardinet dels Gats project, in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona. In 2008 the Jardinet dels Gats organisation was founded following many years of work with abdandoned cats in Raval and the other neighbourhoods in Ciutat Vella.
They started their work with the cat colony in the Jardinet itself. The tasks involved organising the space, and spaying/neutering and taking care of the cats that lived there.
Slowly but surely the organisation started to gain more and more volunteers until one day, the Jardinet featured more than one hundred. This comprises a small tribute to all their work and dedication, and all the time they’ve spent caring for and respecting abandoned animals.
Unfortunately, in 2013, we lost Paco Salvador and Mari Borrás but the example they led helps us to carry on making one dream a reality, which is to give a second chance to abandoned cats in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona.[:]
