Help for the House of Horrors

This is a situation that could be next to the house of any one of us... A house full of garbage... a nauseating smell, full of animal waste everywhere... a scenario that no photo or video is able to portray.

𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐦:

This house is owned by 2 sisters (one aged 78 and the other aged 82)

The house got to this point because the ladies are very reserved people, they have always lived by themselves and don't talk about their lives, and they started to lose abilities typical of their age and body structure and they were ashamed to ask for help.

In December, one of the ladies was hospitalized and the other was left alone.

A few days later, this other lady fell and couldn't get up.

They immediately called INEM and found that the lady was lying on the floor. She was taken to the hospital.

The Municipal Kennel was activated and apparently they removed the animals from inside the house, as well as the bodies that had already died, in the presence of the firefighters and as soon as the firefighters turned their backs, they released the animals in the courtyard. 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐀: These animals are used to being indoors so they would hardly survive on the street... one of them was soon run over by the subway.

Despite the filth that this house was, these ladies took care of the animals. They were sterilized and some even had mouth treatments (extraction of teeth). The feed that was seen inside the house was of good quality, it was just spoiled at this point.

These ladies are already flagged by social security as they cannot return to that house. One of them has already been discharged from the hospital and has gone to a temporary shelter.

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐨:

We cleaned up part of that rubbish outside the house so that we could set traps to capture the missing animals. Many may think that we didn't have to do it (and we didn't) but despite everything our heart still thinks of the other... We take out garbage that no one can imagine... bags and bags accumulated... full of larvae... a smell indescribable... The human being when he loses his abilities is scary...

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐬 𝟏𝟎 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐬

All animals are sick. Very sick: severe dehydration, anemia, hyper parasites (some had ticks the size of a 1 cent coin!!) apathetic and respiratory infection. They were all hospitalized, underwent tests and are still undergoing treatment.

About the author

We are Vânia Dias and Mr. Fernando. Two people with a common interest: animals! I have actively supported the animal cause for over 11 years now. I try to help the animals that cross paths with us and I have already sterilized more than 1000 animals and I have already sent more than 300 animals for adoption. Mr. Fernando, fulfills the legacy of Mr. António and walks the streets of Porto and Campanhã daily to feed the more than 100 stray cats.

What moves us is being able to help animals, especially those who are not lucky enough to have someone to protect them.
We do not receive state support and as such we need help to be able to cover the costs of all the treatments and feeding of the animals that we help and in particular this case of the house of horrors.

It is very difficult to do all this privately, but it is undoubtedly very rewarding to know if we save a life or that we provide a better life.

We hope to count on your help, only then will we be able to save more animals!

Budget and due dates

At this moment our objective is to pay the outstanding account of this case. There were 4 animals hospitalized. Exams were carried out (ultrasound scans, X-rays, IVF/FELV tests, general analyses, thyroid analyses, etc..., treatments and we had to buy specific feeds (each 3.5kg bag costs €40)...

The value of the campaign is to pay the bill, plus the PPL campaign commission and what is left over is to be deducted from the remaining account of other animals that were treated at the veterinary clinic in Pedras Rubras and a little help to buy cat food that we have in treatment and to feed the more than 100 stray cats that we feed every day...
