The Ruins As you probably know Roman cats have always found shelter amongst the ancient ruins in our city. The numerous postcards here of cats sitting on stumps of old Roman columns, cat napping on the foot of an emperor's statue, or just lounging near the Colosseum testify to the deep rooted image cats have in our city. Shelter Torre Argentina is home to about 250 feline friends, sheltered amongst the oldest temples in Rome (400-300 BC). Seven days a week volunteers from different countries, feed, clean and look after them. Visitors Visitors are always welcome to look around, visit the cats and browse the CatShop or adopt one of the cats at a distance ... all to help our little friends. We are open every day from noon to 6 p.m. Entrance at Largo di Torre Argentina, corner of Via Florida & Via di Torre Argentina See the map Thank you for visiting the Roman cats.
