"Where Every Cat Finds Home"
Our Vision
We envision HapiCats Sanctuary as the Philippines' premier Educational Tourism Center — a tranquil haven where people from all walks of life can escape the noise and pace of city living and reconnect with nature, animals, and themselves.
Nestled in lush farmlands, our sanctuary offers visitors a rare opportunity to spend meaningful time with our beloved cats in a calm, open environment. Here, every purr is a reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate the simple joys of life.
Beyond being a refuge for cats, HapiCats aspires to be a place of learning — where guests discover the importance of responsible animal care, sustainable living, and compassionate community. Through guided farm experiences, educational programs, and immersive visits, we hope to inspire a new generation of animal advocates and nature lovers.
Our dream is a Philippines where sanctuaries like ours are celebrated not just as shelters, but as destinations of healing, education, and hope — for both cats and the humans who love them.

Our Mission
The HapiCats Sanctuary is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming cats in need in communities. We believe every cat deserves a safe, loving home — and we work tirelessly to make that possible. Through community support, adoption, and compassionate care, we give cats a second chance at life.

Our Temporary Sanctuary
Slideshow
While our dream of a permanent home is being built, our cats are lovingly cared for in our Temporary Sanctuary situated right beside the site of the future Permanent Sanctuary. This proximity is intentional: it allows our cats to gradually familiarize themselves with the land that will one day be their forever home. Your support today is building tomorrow's forever home.
Support the Build
Our cats are waiting for a place they can truly call home. Right now, they’re in a temporary shelter, just steps away from the spot where their permanent sanctuary will soon stand. We’re working to raise P300,000 (US$ 4,900) to create a safe, lasting haven where rescued cats can be cared for with the love and dignity they deserve. The sanctuary will be built on a 700 square meter lot in Umigan, Pangasinan, Philippines. The need is real, and every contribution big or small brings us closer to making it happen. Be part of our community and help turn this space into a sanctuary filled with safety, hope, and second chances. Donate today and help build their forever home.
Our Founder's Story
The HapiCats Sanctuary is a family-owned labor of love, rooted in a deep compassion for cats who have no one to look out for them.
Our journey began in 2019, when we started rescuing and feeding stray cats in our community. We believed that a warm meal and a kind hand could make a difference and it did. But over time, we witnessed the harsh reality that strays face every day: illness with no one to provide care, and heartbreaking losses from accidents on the streets.
Each cat we lost stayed with us. And each loss deepened our resolve that strays deserved more than food left on a sidewalk. They deserved safety, medical care, and a real chance at life.
That's why The HapiCats Sanctuary was born to give cats not just a meal, but a home.
Meet the Family Behind HapiCats
The HapiCats Sanctuary is a family-driven mission rooted in love and compassion for animals. Together, we work hand in hand to rescue, care for, and find forever homes for cats in need. Every cat we save is a reflection of our family's commitment to making the world a kinder place — one paw at a time. 🐾
