A condo created with love – for cats

Marek  and Anna Balazinski are wonderful human  beings. Over the years they have chosen to join a group of good souls in Côte Saint-Luc who regularly feed homeless cats outside their door.:

"In the spring of 2013 cats started to come to our patio," Marek explains. "In  the autumn,  one female brought their five small kittens. We have built a solid cabana. In February 2014,  two more kittens were born. We had all of these cats  sterilized and vaccinated. This will mark our fourth winter with this cat’s family. In the fall of  2014 mama disappeared. In the 2016,  two more cats disappeared. However,  in the fall  of 2015,  one very young cat joined our family. Now we have six permanent residents, and from time to time some other cats are coming to eat. They are not really sociable. We can caress only two of them of course as they are in a good mood."
 
Marek has shared this wonderful story about a "condo created with love" that he and his wife have built for the cats. Please read it  here - Download A condo created with love
