    À propos du programme

    This program gives international volunteers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of stray cats while working with local NGOs dedicated to animal welfare. These organizations focus on reducing animal abandonment and promoting responsible pet ownership to increase adoption rates.

    As a volunteer, you’ll be assigned to a specific project within the program, where you’ll focus on a distinct set of tasks tailored to the needs of the animals and the NGO. Projects could have you working hands-on with stray cats through the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) method, helping care for dogs, or keeping the shelter spaces clean and welcoming. Each project is set up to make sure your efforts really count and create a positive impact for the animals.

    What to Expect:

    As a volunteer, your tasks will vary depending on the project you’re assigned to, but they might include:

    • Trapping: Helping to catch stray cats using proper equipment as part of the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) method.
    • Post-op Care: Feeding, cleaning, and administering medication to ensure animals recover well after surgery.
    • Releases: Assisting in returning neutered cats to their original colonies.
    • Dog Walking: Taking dogs for walks to provide exercise and stimulation.
    • Animal Enrichment: Spending time playing with cats or dogs to improve their well-being and socialization.
    • Shelter Maintenance: Cleaning cages, food bowls, and equipment, organizing spaces, and keeping the shelter tidy and safe for all animals.
    • Organizing Donations: Helping to sort and manage donated items to support the NGO’s operations.
    • Painting and Gardening (Occasionally): Pitching in with beautifying and maintaining the shelter through painting or gardening projects.
    • Community Support: Participating in awareness campaigns or events to help spread the word about animal welfare.
    Why Join?

    • Make a Difference: Support various initiatives aimed at improving the lives of stray and abandoned animals.
    • Gain Experience: Develop hands-on skills in animal care and shelter management.
    • Cultural Immersion: Experience life in Porto while contributing to a meaningful cause.
