Rather (but not ridiculously) high up in the hills above Florence,

there is a rather touching Cat Protection Colony, and

apparently this is No.3 of how many total throughout the cittá I don't know.

There are small trim white houses with door flaps, 

agreeably spaced, fresh water,

but it's all empty, at least t'was when I looked in. . .

The cats were, perhaps, not properly told of the kindness and,

were probably off doing their thing about a quarter mile away,

in Boboli Gardens, or somewhere less humanly organized, and more cat-like.
