Who we are
Nata Libera is a non-profit association
who has the goal
to give hope to animals in distress,
providing them specialized care
and a chance for a dignified life.
History
Founded in 1998 thanks to the commitment of Angela Revel Chion,
the association has intervened in many critical cases, taking care of animals,
even exotic ones, often coming from zoos, farms, breedings subject to closure or seizure.
​
The historic refuge of Scalveis,
on the 'Serra' close to Ivrea, has housed
a variety of animals over the years,
both domestic or farm animals – goats, sheeps, donkeys, horses, rabbits, even a llama! – both wild ones: foxes, hedgehogs, dormice, birds of prey and many others.
The new shelter
After its founder passed away, Nata Libera continued its activity,
remaining faithful to the original values
that inspired its creation.
In 2020, the shelter was relocated
at Cascina Busen, in San Carlo di Graglia, situated on the slopes of Mombarone.
Here, in the calm
of the surroungings woods and
thanks to the care of the volunteers,
the animals can find an ideal habitat
to recover from traumas and pain
and to start a new life.
