AVPD, Asociación Valencia Perrera Dogs, are a registered charity in Spain (G98900228). Our objective is to find rescue spaces and other safe and caring opportunities for the dogs saved from perreras (dog pounds) and for those found abandoned on the street.

Life for Javea's street cats can be challenging and without controlling the population it rapidly grows. (One female cat can give birth every four months to four kittens!) As a legal, official non-profit organisation we use the humane method of trap, neuter and return to try to prevent so many kittens being born on the streets. More than 6000 cats have been sterilised to date. We also help feral/street cats in distress, ill or injured and have a team of volunteers who feed our many colonies.

We are building a shelter for cats and kittens that would otherwise be living on the streets. Catland Javea is an official non-profit association. We are working with a registered veterinarian under a full zoological license. Catland will offer shelter to a maximum of 120 cats at a time. Cats that can live as house pets, will be offered for rehoming. Those that cannot, will remain in the shelter under a no-kill policy. More information: catlandjavea.com

We are a dog shelter in Xabia, Alicante, Spain set up in 1999. Our shelter provides a safe place for dogs that have been lost, abandoned, mistreated, or given up by their owners until they can find their forever home. We are a large shelter who rely mainly on donations for the general running costs of the shelter and the care of the dogs. We supply medication, food, shelter and care for our dogs every day of the week all year round, and care for them as they are our own.
