🐾 Animal Action Madeira – Emergency Help for Animals

Madeira is paradise for many – but sadly, stray and injured animals are still common across the island. Here’s how you can take action and help, whether it’s an emergency, a sterilisation need, or a neglected animal.

🚨 Emergency: Injured or Sick Animals

Officially, injured or sick animals are the responsibility of the local fire and rescue department (Bombeiros).

  • They’ll transport the animal to a vet or a municipal shelter.

  • Stay with the animal until help arrives if you can.

  • If it’s urgent and you can afford it, take the animal straight to a vet yourself.

Contacts:

  • Funchal Bombeiros: 📞 +351 291 200 930

  • Other areas: Search on Google for “Bombeiros [your area]”

🐾 Stray / Abandoned Animals

If you find a stray dog, cat, kitten, or puppy, here are steps you can take:

  1. Call the local Bombeiros – they might assist depending on the situation.

  2. Take the animal to a vet for a check-up.

  3. Post in local Facebook groups:

    • SOS Animais Madeira

    • Ocorrências - Animais Madeira

    • Grupo pelos Animais – Madeira

  4. Contact shelters and vet clinics directly.

  5. If safe, temporarily house the animal until help is arranged.

✂️ Sterilisation (Neutering)

Spaying and neutering is the best long-term solution to reduce suffering and overpopulation.

If cost is an issue, here are some options:

  1. Contact the local Camara (Town Hall) – they sometimes help.

  2. Contact AMAW (Animal Welfare Madeira):

    🌐 www.madeiranimalwelfare.org

  3. Ask your local vet if they work with any low-cost sterilisation programs.

🛑 Cruelty or Neglect

If you witness animal cruelty, abuse or neglect, report it to:

🔁 Note: Avoid accusing owners directly – contact the proper channels unless an animal is in immediate danger.

❤️ A Final Note

Many animals on Madeira are not truly homeless – they might belong to local farmers or roam freely. Be cautious before assuming a dog or cat is stray. But if in doubt, act with compassion.

There’s a difference between helping and unintentionally taking away an animal from its home.
