The Crazy Cats
Kala Shah Kaku, Punjab
The Crazy Cats is a non-profit cat sanctuary in the SA Gardens housing society at Kala Shah Kaku, on the northern edge of Lahore off the GT Road. Running since 2020, it describes itself as Pakistan's first open cat sanctuary: several hundred rescued cats live together in a large fenced garden enclosure with shaded shelters, rather than in cages. Many were rescued from animal markets or abandoned by owners, and a large share are Persians and other pedigree breeds; injured, disabled and FIV or FIP cases are also cared for, with vets on site. The sanctuary accepts visitors in fixed afternoon or evening visiting hours that change with the season, for a small entry fee, and is closed on Fridays. Visitors are asked to message ahead, not to bring their own pets, and may bring food, treats or toys. Some cats are put up for adoption.
