The significative aid comes in the wake of a request for help on behalf of ARA, which was granted in the context of an acknowledgment of the high-quality work developed by the nonprofit association, whose work reaches beyond its shelter in Cabanita, Loulé.

Since 2018 ARA has rescued and rehomed an excess of 1200 animals, who found new families across the whole of Portugal, and beyond. Petis’s donation included high-quality food for both cats and dogs, a meaningful contribution to the well-being of the animals residing at the shelter, many of which have tragic stories, and are on their way to a happy ending.

The cat food will also support the ‘Vila dos Gatos’ project, developed by ARA and supported by the Loulé Townhall and most of its Parishes. The project aspires to the sterilization of up to 1.500 feral cats annually, as well as the management of its cat colonies; which includes the installation of shelters, as well as monitoring, feeding, and caring for these animals.
