goals + help / objectivos + ajuda

All help is welcome, either food, blankets, meds, money (paypal account: helewidis@gmail.com ), offering art/commissions for those who donate as some sort of reward for donating, parts of profits of your art/crafts sales, etc, etc… There are lots of way you can help!

The first step is sharing the link of this site in yours, and with everyone you know online or offline! The more people who knows about this, the better! We love these animals!

To me it is uber important that I spay and neuter and feed those cats. I’m working on 3 levels to sort things out:

1. Spay and Neuter (aka sterilize them) - you can donate to helewidis@gmail.com (paypal account) THANK YOU!!!

2. Food, blankets and medicine – medicine especially for the eyes, sometimes I rescue cats with their eyes closed with some yellow stuff in it and a cold - the poor cats!
food will help me and my family to be able to save some more money so we can spay/neuter them. and blankets are never too much!

— In case you want to send something of these 3 items I can give you my address in a note. Just note me…

3. Getting loving homes for them (especially the new borns)
–I just found out a new portuguese site were people can make pub of rescued cats for getting them a home. Neat, uh? I mean, 44 is just too much to handle right now, and I’m afraid until they won’t get spayed and neutered they’ll keep on coming, since the lady cats puke their pills!

I got a suggestion to make our home a non-profit organization, so that companies can donate to our cats too and get to have proofs for taxes. – I have already started to look out if this is possible in my country.

I’m also contacting PETA, Best Friends Animals and SPA (the latter is a portuguese one) to see if we can get help for the neuter and also to find homes for part of the kittens. I’m also in some portuguese sites for kittens adoptions. Basically, I’m trying everything I can/know of off. If you have a suggestion please do it!
