On the Cats of Haifa: Also a Baha'i Pilgrimage Experience

I've heard more than one Baha'i pilgrim mention the fact that Haifa has many feral cats. -gw

There are thought to be about 500,000 or more feral cats in Israel and helping to prevent the welfare problems associated with this large population is a major challenge.

WHAT IS Cats of the Holy Land? It's a two-pronged project that we support for homeless cat populations in the US and Israel.

Rambam Hospital in Haifa is the largest hospital in northern Israel. On twenty-five acres of hospital grounds, about 70 cats of a feral colony have been cared for by the hospital staff for several years.

Here is a meditative video that integrates images of the cats of Haifa with the experience of a Baha'i couple on pilgrimage to the Baha'i Holy Places there. -gw
