Huge thankyou to Diane for holding the table at the school Fayre in Santa Margarida while I went shopping for kitten food. Diane also cares for cats in the village as well as Alte colonies ♥️
€70 raised and lots of lovely people to chat too. Thankyou to everyone at the school and the staff. Food was amazing 😍
Huge Thanks also to Tina caring for 10 cats in the village that we sterilsed as part of 30 this time last year! Tina's colony is now officially our 12th colony and we will continue to support however we can 😻
Also thankyou to Chris who also feeds cats in Santa Margarida and purchased this jumper from us for her dog Hollie doesn't she look gorgeous!
We have so many outgoings at the moment despite our amazing fund raising we are still needing funds to support our sterilsations and foster kittens. Example today food €136 just for 7 kittens. They are still on royal canin as they had to recieve toxic treatment as they were exposed to a Fungal infection.
This treatment and associated costs which has put a huge strain on us and our fosters who have been so patient caring for them for much more time than normal.
We have 12 in foster care for a least another 3 weeks. Some have been reserved to wonderful homes others now hoping that there are loving homes awaiting older kittens at 4 or 5 months old.
If you can join one of our events or spare the cost of coffee PayPal [email protected]
We would be so grateful.
We, our colony caretakers and fosters care for the cats and kittens with so much compassion and turn up whatever weather.
We are all volunteers, help us reduce the suffering of feral and stray cats and street dog Jolie 🙏🙏🙏♥️

6 cats were booked for sterilsations today. 2 from Salir 4 from Messines.
Sadly 2 were very poorly and tested positive for Felv so we're pts. No more suffering.
3 females and 1 male sterilsed, treated for fleas/tick and parasites and returned.
First Pic of female we tested as she looked poorly but was negative. Has antibiotic treatment for her eyes.
Huge thanks to Dpdsaa animal charity for the sponsoring the sterilsations Pakadora Association-PDA paid for tests and treatments. Huge thankyou also to Dra Anna Dra Rita at arc de noe vetinary surgery and Dra Luis at SOS Pequeno 🙏🙏

Spirit had his tooth operation today. He is eating soft food and with his step dad Paka lookalike in the green room. He will be on antibiotics and pain relief but he will feel much better soon. Hopefully we can get some weight on him.
Thankyou to all donors 🙏❤️

We also took little street dog Jolie in to be castrated and tested for all the nasties. We have now found amazing foster parents and he will be available for adoption once we know his test results.
Thankyou so much to Dpdsaa animal charity for sponsoring his castration 🙏❤️
