This campaign aims to pay off the accumulated veterinary debt at the Pedras Rubras Clinic worth €1,702.32 with sterilizations and treatments for cats in the colonies we protect. Many come to us in distress, and even without the means, we cannot say no.

Mr. António, aged 88, dedicated the last years of his life to caring for stray cats in Porto. After his death in 2021, Mr. Fernando continued this work — today, more than 100 cats are fed and cared for every day.

This campaign aims to pay off the accumulated veterinary debt at the Pedras Rubras Clinic worth €1,702.32 with sterilizations and treatments for cats in the colonies we protect. Many come to us in distress, and even without the means, we cannot say no.

Unfortunately, help is sought, but responsibility is often left behind — and the bills are left with us.

If you believe that no life should be ignored, help us continue this work.
Every euro is a gesture of love.

About the author

We are Vânia Dias and Mr. Fernando. Two people with a common passion: animals! I have been actively supporting the animal cause for over 13 years. I try to help the animals that we come across and have already sterilized over 1000 animals and put over 350 animals up for adoption. Mr. Fernando is following Mr. António's legacy and walks the streets of Porto and Campanhã every day to feed over 100 street cats.

We do all this on a private basis. We are not an association! We do not receive government support! We survive with help from friends and acquaintances!

It is very difficult to do all this on a private basis, but it is undoubtedly very rewarding to know that we have saved a life or provided a better life.

Budget and due dates

At this moment, our goal is to pay off the debt at the Pedras Rubras Veterinary Clinic (apart from other bills), which is currently €1,702.32 (value as of 12/06/2025, as you can see in the email) , so that we can continue to feed, capture, sterilize and treat all these animals. Every day we receive requests for help... We are not an association... we are just simple individuals who cannot know that there is an animal suffering... You can confirm the truth with the clinic. You can come to the field and see for yourself!
