Consider Adopting a timid cat!

Written my Helena Neves:

Most people do not even consider adopting a shy cat, although if they scratched at the surface, they can be mostly suprised by the gem that lies beneath.
Even the shyest of cats can be playful and loving companion if given enough time to adjust and trust.
Something has happened in thier past to stop them from trusting humans and they desperately need our help to turn this around. Shy cats are not ferel - they just tend to be a little skittish about being handled or caught off guard in un familiar surroundings.

Especially if you are looking for a companion for your cat - please consider a shy cat as these cats tend to be the best to gel with another cat friend.

Although they may not know how to show it, shy cats do need us. The special bonds that they develop may be very rewarding to cat and human alike.
Instant lap cats they are not - and may well never be - but time and effort invested in a cat by one kind person may help them blossom again.

For more information on shy cats - please call Helena - 918149187 and come and visit some of the beautiful little cats that are at the Quintinha dos Animais - Goldra

THANK YOU!

NODDY

Noddy is a one to two year old - extremely friendly female dog. Large in size.
She was bought in to the shelter by Sao Bras camara last week and seems to be getting on with other dogs there. However we would love to find her a lovely home that she deserves.
She has been tested and is negative for Leish and Heartworm.

Please call Laura: 927 921 635 if you are interested in making NODDY part of your family

VALENTINO

Valentino is a lovely large male dog who loves children and other dogs.
He was in a lovely home until recently when the owners turned him in as he chased sheep!

He is now living in a boarding kennels but Valentino needs a fenced home where he can run around. He is 4 years old, castrated.
We think that he has leishmanitus - a disease which is caused by a moscito - however this is easily treatable but not curable. Valentino will have to have a tablet per day for the rest of his life.
However, this does not affect his gorgeous personality.

Please call Laura: 927 921 635 if you are interested in taking Valentino home.

HOP!

Hop is a medium sized three year old male - He was bought into the shelter in Feb. this year.

He has a very bad injury to his leg (which is why we named him Hop) He looked like he had been hit by a car and was extremely skinny.

Hop has a wonderful nature and would love someone to love him. He walks very well on the lead and we think he is fine with cats. He has been vaccinated and microchipped and has tested negative for Leish and Heartworm.

Hope would make a great companion.

URGENT SHORT TERM FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

We now have managed to find homes abroad for 46 dogs from Goldra animal Shelter and other urgent case dogs from outside the shelter which totals to around 30 dogs.

But, because many of these dogs have not been outside of the shelter in a very long time they cannot travel directly from the shelter to new homes. It is VERY hard on the dogs and for us.
We URGENTLY need offers for short term foster homes.
They will only be able to travel if people offer thier help.
The dogs must all be bought from the shelter to see the vet and they must all have a bath.

Due to airport disruptions, we had these dogs travelling by air in small groups of 5 dogs per day. We were able to send the dogs to boarding kennels or to one of our very few fosters prior to thier departure. Now we will have to send many of these dogs by road and many of them will be leaving on the same date.

They must have a place to stay for atleast three nights before they all travel to thier new homes. We simply dont have the space so we are looking for new volenteers.
We they are taken from the shelter, they are not to roam freely, but only walk on leads or in fenced gardens. While you can ofcourse foster a dog for a little longer, it is for three nights we really need the urgent help!

When we have sent the dogs directly from the shelter before they arrive very dirty and extremely stressed. The networks abroad to whome we rehome are only willing to take this many dogs from us because they have been happy that the dogs have arrived healthy and clean and because the dog that we have described over email has been the same dog that has arrived. This means that thier job is made easier and the dogs can go directly into new homes.

They all have homes to go to! Happy Homes! You will not be 'stuck' with these dogs - unless ofcourse there is an earthquake that stops road travel to go with the volcano that has stopped all air travel - in which case thier departure could be a little delayed.
If you want to possibly keep a dog you can happily foster another dog, but these dogs are not available for adoption.

What it involves:

- we will send you the complete details of the dogs travel and what they are like. YOu can then choose the dog to foster (either small, medium, large, male or female)

- We would shedule a time and place for the dog to be collected or bought to you.

- The dog will immediatly need a bath (which we can even do for you!)

- While the dog is with you, any special care you are able to give the dog is a bonus. But mostly it needs a safe and clean place to stay. You will be given a wormer and an advantix while the dog is with you.

- You will then bring us the dog during a sheduled time slot for 'loading' onto the truck which will then be driving the dog to its happy home.

- Once the dog is happy in its new home, we will send you the information and photos about the lucky dog.

Please call katy: 00351 919100160 if you can help or email me on katerex_22@hotmail.co.uk

Princess

Princess is a very loving female dog. She has been spayed.

Princess was found in a shopping centre by the municipal kennel (loule) but was retrieved from there and bought to Goldrra where she is now slightly more comfortable.

Unfortunately, Princess was reserved to go to a new home but we have found out she is heartworm positive and needs urgent treatment. She can now no longer go to her new home.

If you could possibly consider taking Princess home with you while she goes through the heartworm treatment, she would be very happy! She needs a nice calm place to live in while this treatment goes on.

Funds are available for treatment.

Please call Laura: 927 921 635 if you are interested in helping this lovely dog!!
