This is Alya. She is the reason Street Cats of Tavira started.

 

This small, vulnerable kitten was with her two siblings on a street in Tavira. Not knowing how to help, two friends, Catherine and Rosette, took the kittens to the Tavira Gatil where they were told to return the kittens to where they found them and report the location to the Bombeiros. 

The next morning the kittens were still left on the street so Catherine decided to pickup the kittens and care for them. Unfortunately when she returned to the location the kittens were gone. It is hoped the kittens were rescued and taken to a safe place. 

The not knowing what happened to Alya and her siblings was heartbreaking and from this day Catherine and Rosette resolved to never leave a kitten abandoned on the streets of Tavira again.
