We support local cats & cat colonies with food, medicine, veterinary care & assist in the coordination of neutering programs
Vet Pool has published its annual report (in german only) which includes news of seeking to employ more vets & a redesign of the web site in the spring of 2013. We wish to thank them congratulate them on all their hard work.
Lucy remains here with us; we paid for her dental surgery this week as after having her eye removed she was still in severe pain with lots of difficulty eating. On veterinary examination she had broken infected teeth caused by being kicked or struck with a heavy object left side of her face, poor brave girl. Lucy is now lying by the fire & recovering well.
Does anyone recognize Lucy? she has a very distinctive tash & beard, we think she may have strayed and would love to identify her true owners.

The Animal Action and innovative, British natural cosmetics company Lush subsidizes neutering stray cats in Athens.
The sterilization program will be held throughout the month of October and will be a targeted effort to reduce the large stray cat population in Athens. Sterilization is the only humane and scientifically proven method of stray management. One has only to think of an entire or undesexed, stray cat can arise over 5,000 kittens in 5 years! The neutering of stray animals in Greece either by mobile veterinary team either via partner veterinary clinics is a key action for Animal Action. Only then will we achieve the desired result of reducing the large number of strays living in the streets of Greece.
In the past 8 months by your donations were 4209 operations, which performed 3,898 sterilizations and an estimated 7,000 animals receive medical care. we castrated with our teams in 1386 females, 783 males, 1124 cats, 605 male and performed 311 different operations. method was used to Cape Verde Islands, the Dominican Republic, Romania and Greece. Requests from other countries we had to cancel because the funds could not be applied.
For this year, the following projects are planned:
Only by castrations we can save the animals permanently suffering.

18:17 Update
First indications are good as Tanni has survived the anaesthetic. She is apparently sitting up watching our vet! The operation went really well, we now can relax a little in the hope the antibiotics stop any infection post-op. Tanni sends purrs to those of you who have kindly helped towards the bill for her operation.
