Cat Retirement Village in U.K. Comes with Most Adorable 'Mini Cottages' for Senior Kitties

They're just too cute!

This story is perfect for anyone seeking a bit of good news. It might even help to restore your faith in humanity. You will fall in love with everything about this charming cat community.

See what makes this place so special! In a video posted on August 20th, TikTok user @thatgoodnewsgirl gives us a tour.

Can we retire here? What a wonderful life these dedicated volunteers have provided for these cats. She tells us they take in kitties with complex health conditions. They also rescue animals whose owners may have passed away or entered a retirement home where they cannot bring their pets. This brings peace of mind to these loving owners, who can no longer care for their beloved friends.

Moggie’s retirement village is part of the Shropshire cat rescue and it’s located in Shrewsbury, UK. It includes six cottages, with an extra-large one known as Moggie’s mansion in the middle. The kitties have access to plenty of warm beds, cat trees, and toys in each fully furnished cottage. She reports that all the residents are free to roam the community and socialize with their feline friends. A staff of devoted volunteers constantly pampers and cares for them. They monitor them regularly and give these fortunate felines any healthcare they may need. Once a month, local schoolchildren even come to read books to them. How sweet is that? This must truly bring peace to owners without family or friends to care for their pets.

This extraordinary sanctuary overwhelmed the audience. One viewer commented, “Sobbing. Oh my God, there’s a special place in heaven for the folks who run this.” There has to be. Another member said, “If only the entire world would do this.” If we did, it would make it a much better place for everyone to live. You can follow this outstanding rescue on TikTok @shropshire_cat_rescue and you can also donate to them directly through this link.

We would set up a cat village in the States if we won the lottery. Next door, we would have a canine version too.
