Even living on the other side of the planet, anyone can become a sponsor for a Roman cat.

The old legend says that when construction works were carried out on Largo di Torre Argentina, underground burrows were excavated and thousands of rodents were released. To overcome the terrible plague bringing the black death, the government of Rome decided to settle down the square with hundreds of homeless cats that live here till nowadays.
