Neutering campaign – The Cats Pyjamas Rescue

Funding

Hi everyone,

Thanks to a very generous bequest, we will soon be in a position to fund neutering for those of you who are willing to trap cats across Apokoronas.

Before we begin allocating neutering spaces, we want to invest in some much-needed equipment. Our priority is to replace damaged, faulty or poor-quality traps that have been bought locally and to provide strong, sturdy traps with solid bottoms for anyone who needs them. If drop traps are proving more useful in practice, we are equally happy to buy more of those instead. We will also be purchasing additional nursing and fostering equipment.

The tide is never-ending and our work will never truly be finished, so we want this money to make the greatest practical difference possible.

This is not a competition. It is about keeping everyone who traps safe, catching cats quickly and securely with as little stress as possible, and making the whole process easier for both the cats and the people helping them.

The equipment is there to be shared and used between you for the benefit of Apokoronas’ cats. We will not expect it to be returned to us. All we ask is that it is looked after and maintained properly, because it will be a precious shared resource.We will let you know when we are ready to start allocating neutering spaces.

If you trap, foster or nurse cats in Apokoronas, please email or messenger me with any equipment you need, would particularly like, or think would make your work easier or safer. We are especially interested in suggestions from those using this equipment regularly.

We will be placing the order in September and want to make sure this very generous bequest is spent carefully, sensibly and where it will make the greatest difference to the cats we are all trying to help.

Save Your Neutering Clinic

Please sign the petition

We make no apologies for the distressing images this is the new reality for Apokoronas strays cats blind, deaf, dying. This is a direct result of Arche Noah being prevented from their legal and legitimate right to neuter, our Charity and volunteers being denied access to the Tsivaras Clinic.

Dimos Neutering

A huge thank you to everyone involved in the neutering sessions! So many gave their time & hard work to make this work.
Special thanks go to Bev & Sarah, Melanie & Sue, Kathie & her cook team for the amazing food, Tassos for all his hard work at the clinic.
Goes without saying we could not do any of this without Arche Noah & the support of the Dimos.

Arche Noah Kreta Chania

Between 10 and 11 January a two days neutering session of 26 stray animals of the Municipality of Chania was successfully completed by the vet Melanie Stehle member of the association Arche Noah Kreta e.V. : 19 female and 2 male stray cats and 5 female stray dogs from various areas of Chania, where it is a fact that the problem is intense because of the continuous abandonment and uncontrolled breeding, in particular from the areas of Agia, Perivolia, Pasakaki, Nerokourou, Chrisopigi, Akrotiri, Kounoupidiana and from the center of the city.

What we are doing for the stray animals of Apokoronas

Niki Niolaki, Deputy Mayor, Municipality of Apokoronas

The Municipality of Apokoronas obeys faithfully the legislative ordinances of stray animals’ well-being and protection, as piece of our culture’s evidence. After my assumption of duties regarding the handling of stray animals, in partnership with the Mayor Mr. Har. Koukianakis, we set in motion the below actions:

Animal Welfare Under Attack

Animal Welfare in Apokoronas is under attack from internal and external forces if you care for the health and well-being of our strays you need to help by signing the petitions, forwarding it to everyone you can and supporting our neutering programme against those who would malign our work.
