Cat Lovers on Sardinia

[jjjet]

We were on a western med cruise in March and the NCL's stop was in Cagliari. In doing lots of research on TripAdvisor we found an amazing little Cat Colony in a place called Su Pallosu (westernmost tip of Sardinia). Since I work in Cat rescue at home, our family decided to go visit while in port. We rented a car (they brought it to the Port for 20euros) and the drive was 90 min each way. Getting out of the city was THE BEST decision ever. We saw beautiful beaches, crystal clear water and lots of sheep. Driving was pretty easy(family of 5)

 

We prearranged a tour for us for 1pm, not the normal tour time but we didn't want to risk being late for the ship. Andrea and Irina gave us a tour, they have 54 cats and the most beautiful beach - the cats were lovely and healthy and friendly. We happily gave a donation and were delighted by the excursion, it was one of the best things we did on the cruise (and we did a lot). Look them up on TripAdvisor. In the summer it may be more challenging to visit as the island gets very busy. Take highway 10, to see the powder beaches, flamingoes etc.
