Animal Rescue

Our Passion for Animal Rescue at Villa Hermosa Colina

At Villa Hermosa Colina, animal rescue isn’t just a cause—it’s part of who we are. Our home, located uphill from the villa, is shared with a variety of rescued dogs and cats who have become part of our family. While our friendly dogs stay within our grounds, our cats roam more freely (as cats tend to do!). Guests are always welcome to meet our four-legged residents if they wish, adding a unique and heartwarming experience to their stay.

A Holiday with a Purpose

We often care for kittens and puppies, hand-rearing and socialising them to prepare for their eventual adoption. Guests are encouraged to get involved, whether by giving a cuddle, playing, or simply spending time with them. Not only does this help the animals adapt to human interaction, but it also brings joy—especially to children, who love making furry new friends!

As part of our commitment to animal welfare, 5% of all direct bookings made through our website, go directly towards supporting our rescue efforts. Your stay with us helps provide food, medical care, and shelter for these animals in need.

The Story of Our Rescued Family

It all started with Betsy and Colin, our first rescues who made the journey with us from the UK on the original ‘Brexit Day’—March 29, 2019.

Then came Nana (who is sadly no longer with us), followed by Tiny Ty, Skippy, and Raffles. Our three-legged wonder cat, Braveheart, soon joined the family, along with Piglet, who was meant to be a foster but ended up stealing our hearts forever.

And then, there’s our latest unexpected arrival—Tyson Furry. This little boxing kitten simply turned up for dinner one evening and decided to stay!

Join Us in Making a Difference

By choosing to stay at Villa Hermosa Colina, you’re not only enjoying a relaxing getaway but also contributing to a meaningful cause. Whether it’s by meeting our rescue animals, playing with our foster kittens and puppies, or simply knowing that your booking supports our efforts, you’re helping to make a real difference in the lives of these animals.

We look forward to welcoming you—and introducing you to our furry family!
