In 2026 Porto Kind has a goal of raising €5,000 for Animais de Rua to support their critical mission. Donate here if you would like to help us meet our goal!
Associação Animais de Rua – Animais de Rua is an association that helps thousands of stray animals, neutering them so they don’t reproduce, providing medical care when they are sick, and feeding them. They promote a peaceful coexistence between animals and people, respecting both animal welfare and public health.
The problem resulting from the over population of stray animals in Portugal is a reality. Animal rescue and shelter organizations (important and necessary to solve the problem of animals that already exist) do not have the financial or the human resources to tackle the fundamental problem of the many hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats that continuously reproduce whilst living on the streets and in other precarious situations.
These animals live without access to basic health care, sufficient food, shelter or comfort, and they are victims of hunger, disease and abuse, condemned to short and sad lives.
Animais de Rua was created precisely to try to alleviate the suffering of these animals and to prevent others to be born under the same conditions. They direct their efforts and resources not only to the promotion of animals’ welfare but also to the defense of public health, as well as people’s safety and comfort.
In addition to helping control the population of stray animals, Animais de Rua works to educate on the danger of over population and helps homeless people who are struggling to feed their beloved pets, often their only source of companionship and affection.
Your donation through Porto Kind will go towards helping to fulfill the items on Animais de Rua’s wish list such as:
1. Royal Canin 2 x 17 kg dog food and 2 x 15 kg cat food per month for the year.
This food is partly sponsored by Royal Canin and therefore is VAT exempt. The cost of this would be Eur1600.
2. Traps to capture multiple feral cats x 2 = Eur800
3. Traps to capture individual cats x 5 = Eur1250
4. Pet carriers x 20 = Eur492
In 2025 Porto Kind raised €2,857 for Animais de Rua!
These funds helped Animais de Rua to neuter and assist many animals in need!
