We have raised Bumble’s ticket thank you to all that have helped
Instead of Bella we are sending Huggy who has an anxious adopter waiting for him in the UK who cannot afford the flight cost. He & his siblings came to us at 7 days of age from the Chania team after his mother was run over. Covered in parasites & starving they had to be bottle fed for three weeks by us & a team of volunteers. We lost one little one but Huggy & the others are now thriving. Please help give him a new start.We are appealing for donations to reach the £285 per cat fee to fill this flight. We have donors that have genourously helpled already, any sum you can afford however small is appreciated.
We have 3 abuse cases we have treated & made well with the help of our vet, donations & great foster carers. These lucky ones have been either adopted or sponsored by generous donors & their flights paid to the UK. So far Bonzo, Felix & Pasca are booked in for the second week of August.
It was all happening at Woodland Nook this morning. The Greek girls were enjoying the Indian summer and in a VERY feisty mood. Twinks and Pasca were scuffling on the porch roof, when Twinks decided to reach for the sky. The descent was a little more precarious…
Twinks decided to reach for the sky
Twinks needs a home, so if you want some kitty excitement in your life, just get in touch!
Here is Twinky (formally Jackie). Her mother died in labour & was found dead in a field by the owners of the land. The kittens that did survive were left to fend for themselves & starve. They cried all night & day and the villa residents heard but could not reach them. A gallant tourist caught this little one through the fence but her sibling, despite traps could not be reached. We presume he/she is now dead. It will be at least a month before Twinky is stable, we think she is 5 weeks old maybe six but is skin & bones. She has an adorable nature, purring when picked & up she loves humans & cries for cuddles. Her eyes are clearing from the cat flu & thankfully she seems well otherwise. Twinky will be treated for all infections, vaccinated & we can assist with neutering. Please contact us if you can help her.
‘Today, our last day in Crete, we went by Ammos hotel (in tears) to say goodbye to “our” kitty. We saw her eating a pile of food! It turns out her owner lives next to the hotel. She was out on her terrace when we drove up. She feeds her ten cats. She also has a dog. “Our” cat is missing her front leg because she was in an accident. Her nice responsible owner took her to the vet. As Cats Pyjamas suspected, her missing shoulder resulted from veterinary surgery. So she is a safe, loved cat! We are so relieved that we failed to catch her and take her away from her owner! And brothers and sisters!
We also had luck finding Dr Eleni Maroulaki (sp.) and gave her the cat carrier, litter box, and litter that we had bought.
So altogether a lucky day.
Thank you for all your help and your wonderful work.
We stopped on the way to Vrisses at an area to see some wild orchids that we knew grew on a piece of wasteland. Up a track appeared 3 kittens, we thought what a strange area for them to be in as there was nothing around & we concluded they had been abandoned.
They were very friendly & luckily we always carry cat biscuits in the car, we thought we could feed them but they did not have a clue about eating cat biscuits.
The 2 little boys we continued to visit and feed. However we noticed over time that the tabby boy was not eating properly and he remained thin. He was desperate for fuss & petting, it was hard to leave them there alone.
We were very concerned as the 2 youngest looked thin and not in a good condition, we promised to come back the next day with some wet food. The next day only 2 were there but they were really pleased to see us and gorged as much as they possibly could. We stayed for a while and looked for the 3rd kitten, discovering then she was more timid because her front paw was completely missing, she was hobbling on 3 legs.Something had to be done the with the little female kitten & sadly the leg required amputation.
We contacted The Cats Pyjamas Rescue, Apokoronas who immediately offered their help. After a health check & parasite treatments they have fostered them for neutering , TLC & hopefully loving homes.
We were so elated that they did not have to return to an area of no hope. Our Greek friend Stella said she would take them to stay on her farm & it was decided the bigger of the 2 boys would be fine but his brother the little tabby would be too vulnerable as he loved human company so much. He has boundless love and affection to give.
Update 28/10/12: Blue boy has found loving adoptive parents, sadly there are no clones available at present!
Gorgeous boy approximately 12-14 weeks abandoned by bins this stunning kitten is a Russian blue type. Perfect coat colors & features, affectionate, litter trained, sociable but still a little bewildered by it all he needs gentle handling but is very intelligent & wants to explore.
