Association Village des Animaux in Morocco, a refuge for abandoned cats

Tamesna (Morocco), Jul 8 (EFE) - (Camera: Mohamed Siali) Each of the 200 cats has its own story and Jadiya Ouiyzme knows them all. Fed up with seeing the animals in her neighbourhood being poisoned, this talkative and lively Moroccan decided two years ago to set up her own association, got into debt to buy land and founded what is now a cat oasis near Rabat.

Next to a river, where cats "love to hunt", Jadiya's Village des Animaux tries to remedy a problem endemic to Morocco: stray cats (and dogs) that roam the streets and roads unchecked and often end up dying from being run over, disease, mistreatment or poisoning.
