Wellcome to Sussita Kumi
From the very beginning we were confronted with a flood of suffering and homeless cats and very soon we had to realize that due to the psychological disposition of the cats any massaging of conspecifics would inevitably lead to a catastrophic development.
Cats, as they are not pack animals, by their very nature absolutely need freedom and the possibility to avoid each other, otherwise massive stress is created which the animals’ immune system cannot cope with, and the result is the outbreak of chronic diseases. These insights formed the basis for the planning of a very special, alternative cat domicile with 500 square metres of enclosed space and an outdoor enclosure of over 2000 square metres.
Here in Sussita Kumi we have also opened our 3rd refuge for horses from the death transports. Today 22 horses live here.
