Here is Fineas (right) reclining with his new feline grandma! Our lucky boy from such an awful beginning is now safe and loved in his new home in England. Thanks to everyone involved from the Greek couple that picked him up off the roadside, Eleni who operated on him, everyone involved in his care and most of all Janna & partner for adopting him
As you can see our kittens where delighted!
Arche Noah Kreta continues to provide much needed food for the stray cats & dogs on Crete as well as the medical care of thousands of stray animals.
How often the truck arrives of course depends on how genorous the donations are, every donation can be seen to fill up the truck on their website.
If you know of any feed producers that might like to help or know of anybody who would like to donate please let them know.
Thanks to the generosity of Arche Noah we are able to continue to support over 150 cats & kittens in Apokoronas
We have assorted waifs & strays needing homes, they are all vaccinated, micro chipped & treated for infections / injury, we can assist with neutering.
Ideally you can offer a home on Crete, otherwise please send this appeal to any friends or relatives in Europe who maybe interested in adopting a Greek rescue kitten or cat.

Continue reading “Kittens to Adopt (updated 4th February 2015)”The Panhellenic Animal Welfare and Environmental Federation is conducting research into the behavior of Greeks towards animals. A questionnaire has been prepared and has been given to tourists in different touristic cities and places all over the country. The answers will be studied statistically and the conclusions and results sent to the Ministry and the authorities of the State, the mass media and the relative authorities in Europe. In this way they hope to show what happens in Greece as concerns the animals and how this behavior affect visitors and foreign friends. They hope that this announcement will improve the living conditions of the animals in Greece.
If it is possible, please answer the questionnaire & forward it to friends of yours (not Greeks), who came to Greece as tourists and return them completed to to Angela Nikolaou at nikolaouangela at gmail dot com by 15th August 2014.
Tuesday 3rd June 2014, starting at 11am we are holding a clinic to take feline skin/fur & ear canal samples.
Miss Nelly Kostopoulou a Ph.D. student from The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki will be visiting us to take samples for her research.
Our local Greek veterinarians have assisted Nelly in her work so their is no conflict of interest, it is an amazing opportunity for those of you with cats suffering allergies/lesions/mites or any form of skin issues to have testing for free.
We will be notified afterwards & will contact those with positive results so your veterinarian can decide appropriate treatment.
If you wish to attend please arrange an appointment via the contact form.
The animal welfare association “Friends of Animals – Rethymno” was founded in 2000. The terrible living conditions for animals, the vast number of animals abandoned on the streets or in the bins and the total indifference by the authorities to these animals were the motives that lead a group of people to set up the association with the intention of helping these animals and to inform the public.
The association is run solely with volunteers and all expenses are raised from donations and fund-raising events.
The association’s main concern is, and has always been, neutering and information.
