History

Formerly called Bienvenido, Nido lost his family when the elderly couple who adopted him fell ill and passed away. He lived abandoned in the doorway of the house, waiting for a return that never came, until he ended up in another shelter where he was not cared for properly.

A carer contacted us and Nido arrived at the refuge in August 2025. After everything he has been through, he remains noble and very affectionate with people, but he needs a home without other animals and someone who will give him plenty of exercise.
