The money
being raised will go towards organising adoptions and taking care of cats that
can't be re-homed due to age and disability. The name of the charity’s project, Mr. No Ears Cat Haven’s, was named after a white cat in Albufeira that had his ears
removed due to cancer. They received money from sponsors all over the world and
here in Portugal to make this operation possible. The charity is more
like a Hospice as they look after many cats that suffer serious illnesses and
injuries. They love them and provide a safe and happy environment for the cats.

The 6km
walk will take place on 25 February at 11am starting and ending at Figs on the
Funcho, S.B Messines, and will take about 1 hour. “We will follow the path along
the river Funcho and pass through the pine and cork forests before reaching the
church perched on the hill. On the hill, we are rewarded with panoramic vistas
of the Algarve's rural countryside where cattle have been raised and animals
hunted. The walking route is shared with the shepherd and as it is the lambing
season, we may meet his flock of sheep and little lambs.”
Coffee/tea
and cake will be served after the walk and an opportunity to make new friends
and connections face-to-face.
