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.

Friends of Animals Rethymno launches new website

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.

This is a big thank you!

We have had unexpected donations from caring individuals who do much themselves to assist.
Heather and David replaced our stolen trap we thank you & all those who ate the ‘fish & chips!’
Jane & Roger opened up their home to the hoards & included us in their donations which we can now use for our kitten transports to the UK.
Such generosity takes us by surprise gives us a boost to continue.
The kittens & cats thank you all!
