Animals in Crisis

Hope – by Sam Gannon – available from Amazon

Sometimes All We Need Is A Little Divine Intervention

Hope Crescent hasn’t lived up to its name for a long time. That is until ex-rock songstress, the Reverend Dolores Lane becomes the new vicar at St. Matthews. Accompanied by her unruly pets she is determined to bring her community together through – gardening! Ruth Bennet is living under the oppressive memory of her dead husband Harry, and is desperate to escape the life she is trapped in. Like everyone else Dolores is mesmerised by Witching’s Field and the tree that lives there. Dolores has another problem; the local council want to sell the land to a local developer. Time is running out, and Dolores is under pressure to save her community, the tree, and the secret that it has guarded for almost a century.

The Associação Ajuda a Alimentar Cão rescued a cat, ‘Joaninha’, who had burns on her body in Canhas, Ponta do Sol.

‘Joaninha’ is a street cat who came to AuQmia ClinicaVet with severe burns. Everything indicates that someone poured boiling water over her.

The association wrote on their Facebook page “We all know the extreme pain we go through when we burn a small part of our body? Imagine the pain this cat is going through!”

The animal is now undergoing treatment. However, the association has asked for financial aid to be able to pay the clinic for her care.

Padre Rui, from Quinta Pedagogica, Prazeres has also issued a plea for funds to help pay for the animals they care for. Like all businesses who rely on visitors for donations, their funding has been severed and Padre Rui has contacted us asking for financial aid to buy food for the animals.

Donations can be made to:
