I Gatti di Su Pallosu
About
Nestled on the rugged coast of San Vero Milis in Sardinia, I Gatti di Su Pallosu is a private, family‑run sanctuary that has sheltered a colony of about two dozen free‑living cats for more than a century. Although it is not a public park, the sanctuary welcomes visitors who arrange a guided tour by appointment. The cozy, woodland‑lined property offers a tranquil refuge where the cats mingle with visitors in a respectful, low‑impact setting. Over the years the sanctuary has become an icon of animal rights activism, successfully fighting bureaucratic obstacles to secure the cats’ welfare and preserving their natural habitat. Whether you’re an animal lover, a history enthusiast or simply looking for a serene day out, I Gatti di Su Pallosu provides a one‑of‑a‑kind blend of heritage, compassionate care, and ocean‑front charm.
