HELP THE STRAY ANIMALS OF MADEIRA – WE NEED DONATIONS FOR NEUTERING AND FEEDING OF STRAYS [NAFS],

NAFS is a group of people in Madeira who are trying to help the stray animals.

We are mostly in the West of the island and need volunteers near to Funchal and the Lido areas because there are a lot of dogs and cats there.

Whether you live in Madeira or you are here on holiday, you can help.

• CAN YOU GIVE A DONATION?
• CAN YOU DONATE SOME DRIED FOOD?
• CAN YOU FEED A GROUP OF DOGS OR CATS?
• CAN YOU HOME AN AMINAL FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER IT IS NEUTERED?

There are many dogs and cats in Madeira who have become strays. These animals are on the street through no fault of their own. They have to beg food from wherever they can because nobody will take them in and give them a home.

This problem in Madeira exists because these animals are not neutered and they breed without control.

Neutering can be done by SOS Animal, which is a scheme run by Dr. Teixeira at VETFUNCHAL.

If you offer to feed a group of strays the location is important. Make sure that it is:-
NOT NEAR TO HOTELS
NOT NEAR TO RESTAURANTS
HAS FRESH [NOT SEA] WATER IS EASILY AVAILABLE

Once the animals are used to being fed by people they can gradually be neutered in order to lessen the reproduction rates.

If you want to help these animals you can FILL IN THE FORM BELOW and give it in at the Madeira Times office in Funchal [near to the Monumental Lido] either with a donation or an offer of help.
OR

SEND A DONATION [not food] to Dr Teixeira at SOS ANIMAL, VetFunchal, Calçada da Cabouqueira, 61, 9000-171 Funchal. Please let him have your name and address so he can send a receipt.
