Construction of a cattery: to collect those cats that are despised!

We want to set foot on the way to build a cattery to house these despised, abandoned, sick animals, victims of abuse that cannot be adopted. We really need your help!

Mr António was an 88-year-old man who fed and cared for 80 stray cats daily on the streets of Porto. Unfortunately he passed away in March 2021 and today his legacy continues to be made by Mr. Fernando. With everyday life we realize that there are many neglected animals on the streets that, because they are "ugly", old or have some health problem, are never adopted.

It is with this in mind that we intend to build a cattery to be able to house these neglected, abandoned, sick animals, victims of abuse that cannot be adopted.

We will provide accommodation for each type of illness so that they can have the minimum quality of life given that they die without conditions on the street.

About the author

We are Vânia Dias and Mr. Fernando. Two people with a common taste: animals! I have actively supported the animal cause for over 11 years. I try to help the animals that cross with us and I have already sterilized more than 1000 animals as well as I have forwarded 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 80 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 meet the initial and ongoing expenses that our cattery project requires.

We hope to count on your help, only then will we be able to save more animals and take our dream forward!

Terreno onde vamos construir

Budget and due dates

So that we can build the cattery and create specific rooms, at an early stage, we need works:

• Smooth and cement the ground to make the site easier to clean

• Construction of 5 rooms in wood or sandwich tile in order to insulate from the cold and heat, with a mesh exterior space so that cats can walk outdoors safely

• Construction of a small storage room to store food and sand

• Repairing damp on a wall and painting a room that will be converted into a ward

• Creation of light points and respective sockets

• Creating non-existent water points

• Acquisition of 10 strong carriers for transporting cats to clinics or when they are taken off the street

• Acquisition of a trap so we can capture more animals to sterilize and treat

• Acquisition of treatment cages to complete the quarantine period before rehousing them in the spaces together with others

• Payment of the PPL commission

Estimated total amount required: €2800

We would like to be able to build before winter arrives so that some cats can have a better quality of life on cold and rainy days.
