Community Cat House in Lima's Cat Park

This structure is a large, custom-built community cat house, a common sight in Parque Kennedy in Miraflores, Lima, also known as the "Cat Park." The park is famous for its large, well-cared-for population of stray cats, all spayed/neutered and fed by volunteers, local businesses, and the municipality. The multi-unit shelter provides refuge for the resident felines. These cats are descendants of pets left behind decades ago and have become an official fixture of the park, symbolizing a unique community effort for animal welfare. The care includes regular veterinary checks and specific feeding times, making the cat population a protected, if feral, part of the cultural landscape.
