2 Decades, One Heart: from Our Home to a Sanctuary

For over 20 years, our home has been more than just a house; it has been a hospital, a nursery, and a refuge.

We didn't start as an organization; we started as two people who couldn't look away from an animal in need. We have operated entirely from our own pockets—funding medical care, food, and shelter for hundreds of animals.

The Turning Point

To save more lives, we needed to build something bigger than ourselves. We decided it was time to transition from a private rescue into a public sanctuary.

#Who We Are

WHO ARE WE?

Founder: Fiorenza Krejza

An Italian/Ghanaian citizen residing in Ghana since 2003. For over 20 years, she has rescued hundreds of sick and injured cats and dogs, personally financing all medical and feeding costs. She currently hosts over 50 cats and 3 dogs in her home.

Co-founder: Magdalene Ayensu

A psychology graduate from Winneba University. She manages 54 cats and one dog. To protect them, she took a loan to build a temporary shelter where she also sleeps to prevent the animals from being stolen at night.

The Vision for the Future

We are building a permanent, sustainable facility designed to house:

100+ cats in a safe environment.
4 resident dogs as loyal guardians.

Moving from "saving them in our home" to "building them a home of their own."

VISION

To lead a movement of compassion across Ghana where every domestic animal has a place to call home.

MISSION

To provide a permanent sanctuary of safety, healing, and lifelong care for abandoned and vulnerable animals.
