Opening of APA Charity Shop Ramses The APA Nerja charity shop was officially opened on Monday April 16. The ribbon was cut by our vet Expedito Cabra Narvaez from San Fernando Veterinario. There were speeches by Lou Adams, Head of the APA Fund Raising Team. The opening was attended by Laura Leanne Downes, President of APA Nerja, and many of APA’s volunteers and friends who all enjoyed a glass of cava to celebrate. Thank you to all our volunteers who worked so hard to get the shop ready for its opening day. The shop is situated on c/ Chaparil just down from the Clinica San Fernando Vets. Our opening times are 10:00-14:00 and 17:00-19:00 Monday to Friday and Saturday 10:00-14:00. Ramses has been in the APA shelter for about nine months. He was rescued from the killing station after being in the Police pound in Nerja. He is approximately two and a half years old. He has such a sweet nature, is very friendly with people and loves a cuddle. Sadly, Ramses doesn’t get out much as you need to acquire a special Ramses licence to be able to walk him in Spain. However, Ramses is licensed and insured and is ready for re-homing. Talk to the Paw – May 2018 Alex’s urgent shelter repairs appeal Wow! Our shelter looks amazing!
