A charity lunch held by the Friends of Canil de Portimão (FCP) association on April 13 raised enough funds to refill medicine supplies, allow several sterilisations and build a much needed extension at the kennel for the homeless dogs and cats living there.
FCP is a non-profit organisation that consists of a voluntary group of multinational Algarve residents who donate their time to provide aid and assistance to abandoned animals (see Algarve Resident edition March 2 for further information).
The Italian themed lunch was sold out and attended by Portuguese, English, German and Dutch nationals.
Patricia de Nieuwe, a founder of FCP, told the Algarve Resident: “The lunch was a huge success, everyone enjoyed good food in nice company and went home with a great charitable feeling.
“Through a much appreciated donation we are now going to be able to build some extra space for the animals and we welcome all to come and see,” she added.
