Our kittens are at risk of losing the only home they’ve ever known. Without renovating the windows frames, we won’t be able to legalize the shelter and may be forced to close. Help us keep them safe and preserve the space, giving them more comfort.

At the StreetDogs shelter (an animal protection association in the municipality of Barcelos), we have kittens who depend on a safe and comfortable space to live while they wait for a family. However, our shelter faces a serious challenge: the windows we have are very old and do not allow for air renewal, which is essential to maintain a healthy environment and for the shelter to be legalized, a process that is currently underway. Without adequate air renewal, we do not have the conditions required by law to obtain legalization, running the risk of having to close the shelter and having nowhere else to put the kittens.

The current single-glazed windows make the space unbearably hot in the summer and freezing in the winter. Furthermore, as the windows are fixed, we cannot open them to ventilate the shelter, which prevents air circulation, which is essential for the well-being of our animals and the volunteers who work there every day. We tried other, more economical solutions, such as cutting the windows or installing an exhaust system, but these options proved unviable.

With your help, we want to change to new frames, with louvered windows at the top, which will allow for constant air renewal. This will allow air to circulate within the space, creating a healthier and more stable environment, ideal for the comfort of our pets and for complying with legal regulations.

Help us give them a dignified space where they can wait for a permanent family, with the necessary conditions. With your contribution, we will be opening a window of hope for these animals and offering them a shelter where they can truly feel at home.

About the author

StreetDogs, an association with almost 10 years of existence in the municipality of Barcelos, rescues and takes in animals in situations of risk, abandonment, abuse, etc. With around 60 animals under our care, we provide them with essential care and the hope of a new home with adoptive families.

There are many challenges – from veterinary expenses (we have around €6,500 in debt), hotels for the dogs (we have several hundred euros in fixed monthly expenses), to the need to improve the space where we welcome them (the cats, in this case).

Each donation is an essential help to continue this mission and to continue to guarantee a safe and welcoming environment for each pet.

With your support, we can transform lives!

This quote was sent to us by a metalworking company in Barcelos.

This project will start in December 2024.

In addition to the window frames, we will have to install nets on the windows to ensure that the cats cannot get out. The amount we put into this crowdfunding will go towards the window frames and we will use the amount that goes over the budget to help pay for the protective nets.

Note: we have to reach €4,000 in 30 days because if we don't we will lose all donations!
Of the €4,000, the ppl gets €369 in commission, leaving only €3,631. But we can exceed €4,000 in 30 days.
