The social and physical headquarters of the foundation is located in el El Born (Ciutat Vella) a neighbourhood of Barcelona. Conceived as a meeting point for activities related to the feline world. This is a unique space in the world that all cat lovers should know. Not only you can play with the cats, but the main purpose is to make you fall in love with them... and adopt one. It was designed to be a foster house, the time they stay in the cat house helps their adaptation to live in a house before they find their home. * Our main purpose is to ensure the physical and emotional condition of the cats and that's why we have limited days to visit, very controlled hours and capacity. You can come visit us Wednesday and Thursday afternoon (6pm to 8.30pm), Friday (3.30pm to 8.30 pm) and Saturday all day and enjoy the space and our cats. Come and meet us!

As someone who frequently visits Barcelona, I have always seen the Suara Foundation but never stepped foot inside or known their mission. Visiting with a close group of friends, Ivan and his team welcomed us with open arms to meet the incredible kitties and spend time with them. I have never visited a rescue foundation that is so well cared for, creative, and beautiful may I add. Their downstairs hosts one of the most extensive clothing niches I have ever seen, surrounding the theme around cats and music- could it get any better? The funds from those sales go towards the foundation, and all the clothing is ethically sourced with top quality material. We had such an amazing experience at the Suara Foundation!
