“I spent two weeks volunteering at the cat rescue in Larnaka and it changed my life. The love these animals show once they trust you is unbelievable. The team welcomed me like family, and the work felt meaningful every single day.”

“Adopting our cat from the farm was the best decision we’ve ever made. He was so well cared for, healthy, and social. You can tell these animals are loved deeply before they find their forever homes.”

“Staying at the farm’s guesthouse was peaceful and fulfilling. I woke up to cats playing in the sunshine and helped with feeding in the afternoons. Every euro supports the animals directly – it’s the perfect meaningful escape.”

“The work this team does in Larnaka is incredible. I’ve seen first-hand how they rescue, treat, and nurture animals that were abandoned or injured. They give them not just food, but a second chance.”

Mission Statement – Back to Earth

At Back to Earth, our mission is to reconnect people, animals, and nature through compassion, community, and conscious living. We offer a safe haven for Cyprus’ forgotten street animals — and a sanctuary for the human spirit.
‍
Here, people can slow down, volunteer, and rediscover what truly matters: a simpler, more connected life in harmony with the Earth.We believe that healing begins in the quiet moments — in the soft breath of a rescued cat, in the soil beneath your feet, in the kindness shared between strangers.Because going back to earth is not about escaping the world — it’s about returning to it, with open hands and an open heart.
