Tenerife Forum member YOUNG GOLFER has kindly volunteered his shop, Properties Are Us (http://www.propertiesareus.com/tenerife-property-sales-rental-holiday-flights/), located in Las Carabelas, Torviscas, as a drop-off point for donations of food, supplies and money, for MaDaT Tenerife (http://madattenerife.com/).
MaDaT (http://www.facebook.com/madat.tenerife) are an animal welfare association (http://www.gobcan.es/cpj/temas/participacion/asociaciones.html) who help many of us with sourcing families for cats and dogs in mainland Europe.
They have a huge amount of cats and dogs, more than they can care for, and several members here pledged donations back in June, which they never received.
One or two members are asking who MaDaT are and what they do.
Without MaDaT, Marmalade the cat, abandoned in an apartment by a forum member some time back, would never have been lucky enough to find a home.
Marmalade is one of hundreds of animals whom they have helped, but feeding and cleaning and buying medication for all of these animals, before the cost of blood tests, jabs, passports and flights, is a monumental cost.
Decent grade wet food for a young kitten costs €1 per day, so you can see how quickly the costs can spiral.
Without MaDaT, a lot of people here would have a lot more cats and dogs to care for, and pay for!
It is likely that the comments / thread from yesterday will vanish, so if this thread could be closed and stickied, that would be great.
