Nini ADOPTED

On Saturday, April the 9th, a lady living in Cotovia, near Sesimbra, called Bianca to inform that a cat had given birth in her backyard. We either could pick up the kittens or she would let her Rottweilers take care of them.
That same day 2 volunteers went there to try to catch the cat and 6 kittens. We were worried that the cat would react badly, as a stray cat with kittens is difficult to handle. Fortunately they managed! Congratulations to Jaime and Lena.
That same Saturday in the early morning another cat had given birth in a dogkennel at the entrance of the house of one of Bianca's members of the board. In order to avoid the dogs making trouble it was necessary to move the kennel to a more distant place.
The cat didn't move and the kennel was put in the basement, but later she got frightened and ran away to be never seen again and leaving behind the 4 kittens.
We then joined these 4 kittens with the first cat, whom we named Nini, and she received them with 'open arms'.
So now we watch them all, rolled up against Super Mom cat.

Friends, we found a very ill dog on the street, he had a huge hernia in the annus, a great suffering!!!

He is now operated but our debts have grown and we have to pay to 3 veterinary clinics over 5500 euro.

We need help in order to help street dogs. Please, make a donation.

Thank you

More 3 pupies and the mother ADOPTED

Rescue of the 9th puppy ADOPTED

When people told Albertina that there were puppies in Lagoa under a wooden fisherman store, Albertina went there and found 9 pupies. It was almost night. She needed another person to help.
The next day she went there with Dilia and caught 8 puppies and the mother Valentina. Somebody took one puppy. They hoped the puppy was ok. And they asked: if the puppy reappears, please contact us!

Yesterday, Saturday morning, somebody told Albertina that the puppy was there, alone. Albertina and Dilia went to catch him. But they called me at almost 6 p.m. to say it was impossible, the puppy was in panic, nobody could take him. And the puppy was there since last week, in the same day we caught all. So, the person who took him came back to put him there, alone without mother and brothers!!!!! So stupid!
I took Valentina, the mother and runned to Lagoa to catch the puppy. But the puppy was hidden under the shack, so afraid, the mother could not go inside and he didn't come out. I was almost crying.
After one hour and half, I left and decided to go back there next morning.
On the way home I decided I would take the mother again and 2 brothers with me.

Today, I woke up at 7h, and went to the shelter to take Valentina and 2 puppies. Dilia and Luis went to Lagoa to meet me. We put one puppy inside a small kennel, and the other one out playing, and Valentina on a leash. The puppy inside the kennel was crying so much, the alone puppy began to bark, and started coming out. After some minutes he came out and the brothers began to play with him but he was looking for the mother to have milk!! It is a girl, a very nice girl, and after being with us for a while she is not afraid anymore.
It was wonderful to see their meeting. We cried and felt a special feeling. The feeling of happiness and the value of life.
