Transforming
Animal Welfare
Across Spain

No animal belongs on the street. Spain has the highest rate of pet abandonment in Europe — a crisis created by human decisions, not by animals. We give animal welfare organisations the operational tools, training and technology to turn good intentions into lasting change.

300,000 pets abandoned annually in Spain. That puts Spain as number one in Europe. Both in total and per capita.
300,000 abandoned animals means 300,000 human decisions.
It's not an animal problem. It's a human problem.
What can we all agree on?
Whether you care deeply about animals or simply don't want them on the streets, we share a common goal.

How Can We Help?

For Animal Welfare Associations

You're already doing the hard work. We provide digital tools, templates and coordination resources to help your organisation operate more effectively — at no cost, ever.

For Municipalities

Ley 7/2023 creates new census, reporting and audit obligations, but data often arrives fragmented across spreadsheets and WhatsApp. Our platform gives municipalities a single source of truth for colony registration, TNR tracking and subsidy justification.

For Volunteers & Community Members

Found a lost pet? Managing a local colony? We build free tools that make your efforts count — from lost-and-found matching to colony care tracking.

Our Mission & Vision

Building Communities That Care for Animals

We believe every animal deserves dignity, and no volunteer should work alone. Our mission is to give animal welfare organisations the systematic support they've always lacked — coordination tools, standardised resources and operational infrastructure — so that passion translates into measurable impact.

Many organisations struggle not from lack of expertise, but from lack of structure. We bridge that gap.

Our long-term goal: reduce animal abandonment in Spain from 300,000 to under 100,000 annually. That means less animal suffering and significant savings for municipalities currently spending millions on crisis response.

What We're Building

Practical tools shaped by the people who use them — tested in the field, not designed in a boardroom.

Colony Management

8 organisations already use our Cat Colony Tracker to register colonies, log TNR activity and generate municipal reports. Built in collaboration with active colony carers across Andalucía.

Lost & Found

A privacy-first platform that helps finders connect with pet owners without exposing personal data. No downloads, no accounts — just a fast path to reunion.

Resource Library

Ready-to-use templates, legal forms, Canva designs and training guides — all developed through real operational experience and free for any registered animal welfare organisation.

Network Building

A growing directory of veterinary services, legal contacts and partner organisations. Because no association should have to figure everything out alone.

Need Help With Your Work?

Whether you're running an animal welfare association, managing municipal services, volunteering in your community or handling your own rescue efforts — we're here to support you.

Our Commitment

Non-profit animal welfare organisations will never be charged for platform access. Ever. This isn't a pricing tier — it's a founding principle.

Leadership & Contact

Niko Peltoranta, Founder & President

Niko started volunteering with street cat organisations in southern Spain and saw the same problem everywhere: passionate people doing critical work with almost no operational support. 101 Lives exists to fix that. Drawing on over a decade of experience in business transformation, digital strategy and international operations, he built the 101 Lives platform ecosystem — five interconnected applications — to give animal welfare organisations the operational infrastructure they have lacked.
