Roma Roma Roma!
Hi to all the people on the innernets. This is Mazie Grace speakin'. Today I wanna tell you 'bout a wonnerful place. It's called Torre Argentina. It is a wonnerful cat sanctuary in Rome, Italy. Let me tell you...them people in Rome sure no how to treat us little people real good...and they know how to make some good suppers, too! MMMMmmmm....pizza...
Anyways, see...lotsa homeless kitkats live among them ancient ruins in Rome. A long time ago...little old ladies started feedin' them poor cats. Then, a real famous Italian movie star started helpin', too. Eventually, two real nice ladies taked over and did all kindsa stuff to git money to make it a real real REAL nice place. They feed the little peoples, git their privates "fixed"...not sure why they is breaked...and give 'em all the medicine they need.
They have more than 250 kitkats to take care of every single day! Ain't that somethin'??? Dang...them sure is some nice people over in Italy. If you gits a minute, please be sure to check out their site...and...if you ever go to Italy, please be sure to visit the sanctuary...you will be amazed at all the wonnerful stuff they do there for us little people.
And, finally, to all my kitkat friends in Italy, may your tummies always be full and may all them nice people at Torre Argentina be there to scratch your stuff and give you love.
Very truly yours,
Mazie Grace

Torre Argentina is a wonderful place! My mom's daughter lives in Rome and my mom was over there for two months. It's AMAZING the way the Romans care for their homeless kitties - and they're everywhere, thousands of them! If there's an outdoor cafe or bar, kitties are welcome anytime, or are even welcome in many indoor restaurants and businesses. And all the businesses, and just beans' homes, too, put out food and water every day for the kitties.
All kitties are treated like royalty there ... as they should be!

Hi there from Malaysia :) I'm amazed by the treatments those Romans are giving to the homeless cats. I'm glad that there is a sanctuary for them... even better that they are getting the VVIP hotel treatments not from one person but from everyone over there :)
No wonder they said that Romans are caring, compassionate and sentimental people :)

Torre Argentina sounds wunnerful. Our Beans were in Rome two years ago and they wuz walking past a park. They saw lots and lots of kitties all hanging around on the pavement so they stopped to talk to them. A few minutes later two ladies came along wiv food furr them. Mum sez there must haf been at least 60 kitties there being fed.She talked to the ladies and they told her they came twice everyday to feed the kitties. Mum told them that what they were doing wuz wunnerful and gave them some Euros to help get some more food.
