Save a Gato

Cat rescue in San Juan, PR

Save A Gato (SAG) was created in 2004 and is a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare and care of the cats of Old San Juan through TNR, fostering, and adoption. Save A Gato manages the colony of cats on the Paseo del Morro and the rest of Old San Juan. SAG must stress the fact that we are not a shelter, and we cannot accept cats from outside of Old San Juan under any circumstances.

Sometimes, the cats that are trapped in Old San Juan are pregnant, kittens, or friendly adults. These will often go into foster care until they are ready to be adopted. Most are sent to our local PetSmart and PetCo stores, while others are adopted directly through SAG (email us-saveagatopr@gmail.com) or sent to rescue partners in the United States. You can see our available kitties on our Adopt page or on social media
