The Carboot will take place on the First Sunday of each month. There will be a special Christmas Market on Sunday 18 December 2011 and will be in the school sports hall (GPS 40.090294,-8.334022) if the weather is wet or looking like it will be or if the weather is fair then it will be out in the Gardens. The old Market is being refurbished hence the change of arrangements. PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS. There is a map below showing where the sports hall is so people don't get lost. The Carboot opens to Sellers from 08h00, please note the time change. Please bring a small table and chair for your comfort. The public is welcome soon thereafter. The Miranda do corvo Car Boot is one of The Cedar Center's primary fund raising activities. The cost of a stall at the carboot is a modest €5.00, and all donations of food a few tins of cat food or a bag of dry food to help feed the animals, (monies raised from the sale car boot goods donated your bric a brac and unwanted items for us to sell and cash donations all go toward the support and care of the animals). | | Read more... |

Currently the Centre receives some income from the monthly carboot sale in Miranda do Corvo. Regrettably due to changing economic circumstances and the high cost of licensed kennels in Portugal will have to close a section shortly. Further it is with regret that, one of the mainstays of the Centre, Leonor will be leaving in the near future as she is unable to continue without proper compensation. Yvonne and Barry have been engaged with the Centre now for 18 years and want to ensure that their work continues. Their programme for the future requires some changes and these are required based on several factors namely; their personal health, the present economic situation, the loss Leonor and the kennels. | | Read more... |
We couldn't do all the good work we do without the help and support of a great number of people and organisations who donate their time, goods, services and support. As we don't receive any public funding we rely on these people and organisations and most importantly on you the public. Our grateful thanks to you all. Please take a moment to look at the people and organisations who support us and where possible please support them in turn. | | Read more... |
| WHAT WE USE
We care for a variety of animals and all of them need to be cared for and especially fed! Below you will see where a large portion of where our limited funds are spent.

170 tins of cat food - we use tins for the cats because they do not fight over the food and it is instantly consumed
500 kg (in 20 kilo sacks) dry dog food,
20 bags of litter
600kg (40 bales) of hay
10kg approx. for small animals, kittens and puppies
160 kig (in 40 kilo sacks) feed mixture for donkeys You won't believe how much we go through in a month see below for details. Your donation at the monthly carboot can help us, what we don't spend on food we can spend on improving facilities. | | Read more... |

- We would also be grateful for your support with food, tinned cat/kitten food and dried dog/puppy foog as well as hay would be gratefully received. The dog/cat food can be dropped off at the Miranda do Corvo carboot sale (first Sunday of any month).
