Last night two adults and a kitten from a much loved colony were beaten to death last night, the rest of the bin cats are clearly distressed and afraid. Another was missing and has just been taken to the vet, having been beaten lower down on its body (20/10/16) seen by vet and found to have been in a catfight, not beaten).

The Mayors office & the police are now involved, the dedicated carer has for many years watched over and cared for these village cats & she is willing to give them a formal statement.

This was a brutal calculated attack on defenceless beings, whoever it is should be treated with caution.

Please circulate this information locally despite little chance of prosecution the culprit must know we are not intimated and the Dimos will prosecute.

Apricot orphan

Another family visiting the island distressed to find this little one tossed onto the pavement to die by a bin. 10-14 days old eyes only just open we think it’s a boy, dehydrated/starving they did well to keep bathed & cuddled up to Mrs Tiger he is doing well screaming in chorus with Mowgli in the pen below! Early days yet but if anyone wants to offer him a home in a months’ time please contact us any donations towards little ones care gratefully accepted.

Sadly despite our best efforts little one slipped away, if its any consolation he was safe, loved & cuddled.

Blue Persian found in Georgioupoli

Yesterday this poor cat was found under a car in the middle of Georgioupoli it must have had an owner does anyone recognise it?

It is bewildered, thin, typical Persian runny eyes/snuffly nose its coat is matted will have to be shaved under sedation.

Sex not quite sure difficult to tell due to matted fur despite liking strokes she/he won’t allow us to touch the tail end!No microchip.Please contact us if you know of anyone who has lost this cat.

Acid attack

This affectionate girl was seen by one of our volunteers outside a mini market in Kokkino Chorio, she was begging for food but mutilated from acid/toilet cleaner being thrown deliberately into her face.

Allegedly the sub human who did this was irritated that his own cat’s food was being eaten by this starving girl. This happened approximately a week ago (@Good Friday) & she was left in agony from the toxic substance burning her eye/sinuses/paws causing irreparable damage & infection.

Our dedicated & tireless vets have removed her eye & started treatment for the infection.  She will hopefully do very well but her skin will take time to heal, she is with us for the time being for nursing & re homing.
We are asking for the funds for her care, vaccinations, microchip, and passport in addition flight costs to send her to our colleagues at Woodland Nook in the UK.

If anyone would like to adopt on Crete that would be very welcome.

The local Mayors office & our Greek animal welfare colleagues are actively involved in  seeking to prosecute the offender.
