Animal Charity registered in Valencia near Oliva and Gandia

Description:

P.E.P.A.
Protección y educación para los animales                                WE NEED HELP!

P.E.P.A. is a registered charity based largely in the Valencia Province. We do not receive official funding and so have to rely on various fundraising activities in order to finance our work: lunches, coffee morning, car boot sales, fun days and so on. We have recently opened a charity shop in La Font d’En Carròs, near to Gandia and Oliva in the northern Costa Blanca area. It has been a great success with both the Spanish and English.

P.E.P.A does not have any kennels, instead we do have a small network of foster homes throughout the Valencian and Alicante provinces where our animals are cared for until a permanent home is found. The advantage of this is that the animals are socialised, we know them well and can give an accurate description of them. Our ability to help people who have found an abandoned animal depends very much on the circumstances of each situation and whether there are any available foster homes. If the “rescuer” is able to look after the animal until it is re-homed we will advertise it on our website and in the English speaking newspapers. And again according to circumstances and funds available, we will pay for the medical care of the animal. Unfortunately we have not been successful in finding foster homes for cats.

Another service we can offer is to advertise on our website any dogs or cats where for a variety of reasons their owners can no longer keep them.

As far as cats are concerned, P.E.P.A runs a feral cat sterilization programme which covers the north Costa Blanca region and inland (a rough triangle between: Oliva – Ontinyent – Lliria). Our goal is to provide humane control of the size of feral cat colonies.  To implement this we provide trapping equipment purchased by our organization and pay for the sterilization of feral cats, asking only a small donation in return.

P.E.P.A. operates a helpline 7 days a week, currently between the hours of 10am – 5pm, where advice and help can be sought on a range of queries from finding a day old puppy in the basura bins to regulations on taking a pet back to the UK.

Please help by volunteering for one or more of these: Fostering an abandoned dog + Spending a few hours each week on our telephone helpline + Holding fundraising events  + Becoming a member + Donating goods for our shop and rastros.

The number is 650 304 746.  Please visit our website for more information about P.E.P.A. And why not take the opportunity to see some of the smashing animals that are ready and waiting for adoption!
