Sterilise Our Strays, or SOS Algarve Animals, is a registered non-profit organisation whose purpose is the sterilisation of cats and dogs living on the street, or belonging to low income families who otherwise have no means to pay for this operation.

SteriliseOurStrays is very happy to announce the financial side of the spaython in April 2022 is sorted out!  We achieved our goal and more!

Early age neutering of kittens and puppies is always a touchy subject, but in a country like Portugal where the problem is so overwhelmingly big, and the number of unwanted cats is huge, there truly is no other way than to sterilise early and prevent even more unwanted births! Population Management in a humane way!

Starting on March 6th, Eastern Algarve dog charity 'A Dog’s Life' will be holding a monthly Arts and Crafts Market to raise funds, from 10am until 3pm, in the square in Moncarapacho.  The event is supported by Moncarapacho and Fuseta Fregusias.

APPA Pop-up shops are still doing extremely well, so much so that they are constantly in need of fresh stock for them. The next two pop-ups will be themed ´Garden Gnomes, Golf & Anything Outdoors´ and `Gadgets & Gismos´.

Pop along to the Valentine's Charity Market on Saturday 12th February for a gift for your loved one. All money raised goes to Tiny Shelter animal charity, Albufeira.

StreetLife and the Uniao de Freguesia de Moncarapacho e Fuseta are working together on this campaign - BE WISE ... STERILISE.

Thanks to the generosity of the local community the Silves-based family charity Castelo de Sonhos (CdeS) once again reached its target of 200 shoeboxes filled with Christmas gifts.
