A fun filled afternoon. A red-carpet funky catwalk fashion show followed by cheese and wine, ALERTA AND MR NO EARS stalls to browse, a Silent Auction and LAB cat art competition.

Many of you know Debby Burton and ALERTA. Their charity shop supports the Volunteer Bombeiros of the Algarve and lower Alentejo year-round, especially now as the weather heats up.

ALERTA are teaming up with Mr No Ears Cat Haven, who care for the sick and injured street cats across the Algarve and Silves Street Cats - their outreach sterilisation, feeding and medical care programme.

Our ten amazing volunteers, all from Silves and surrounds, will be modelling ALERTA's off-the-rail 'nearly new' Summer 2025 range put together by ALERTA volunteer Diana Jepson.

JALI has three large multipurpose spaces for rent, which adapt to the most diverse events - workshops, seminars, exhibitions, shows and private parties. JALI have made their amazing newly opened event space available for this unique Bombeiros and street cats’ fundraiser. Thank you so much! Our guests will love this unique, new and exciting venue.

Donated anonymously, Cats & Wine in Olhos de Àgua has provided the wine at a 50 percent discount. A donation from Algarve's cat-loving and renowned audio/visual video interiors and home cinema company, Projectiondreams, has paid for the selection of Portuguese cheeses, chutneys (by Debby Burton), fruits, nuts, and nibbles.

Supporters of both charities have donated items for our stalls, paid for soft drinks and Silent Auction prizes as well as professional staff hire, accessories and additional items needed to complete the event. Thank you all so very much.

Tickets are €25 each and go on sale from 15 May 2025 through billetto.pt. Please give us your support, you are going to love it!
