Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have made significant strides in our mission to support Mahdia’s shelter, home to 57 canines and 130 felines. Your contributions have been a beacon of hope for these animals, many of whom have suffered unimaginable cruelty. Today, we turn our focus to a particularly heartwarming story within this mission – Virginie and her house full of rescued cats.

Virginie Dhiab, the founder of “Un Cœur sur Pattes Mahdia,” has been living in Tunisia for six years. Her journey started with feeding the distressed cats and dogs on the streets of Mahdia. As she witnessed their physical and psychological suffering, she began caring for and adopting them. Virginie’s apartment quickly filled with dozens of cats and two puppies. The turning point came when she met Elena, a Russian woman who had taken in around a hundred cats. When Elena fell ill and had to return to Russia, she left Virginie with about sixty unsterilized cats. Virginie, using her personal resources, rented land to establish a refuge. However, these resources are now exhausted, and donations are insufficient to cover the ongoing costs of the shelter, which houses over 200 animals.
