Christmas Appeal

Our Xmas appeal is for donations to fund travel costs in January 2014 sending SEVEN stranded cats & kittens to our colleague’s shelter in the UK for adoption. We have kind van drivers who take them across as & when they can but they cannot take them all.

Fate sometimes provides..

Thanks to all who responded for this appeal, fate intervened last night when we were phoned by a couple with an abandoned kitten. Once the kitten arrived it was washed, treated for ear mites & other parasites. Apart from very mild cat flu he was an adorable pure white with bicoloured eyes (green & blue).

Hebe, a kitten with a broken leg

A very devastating start to the New Year (2017) those of you who visit us have seen Hebe running around the garden scaling trees like she had 6 legs. Rescued from an olive grove peppered with lead shot her leg broken beyond repair. Hebe came through the trauma of losing her leg as a kitten by then we could not bear to part with her, she stayed with us added to our menagerie of waifs and strays. After days stuck indoors with bad weather full of energy she raced off to investigate her fields and trees, she slipped from her favourite olive tree dying from the trauma of her injuries. Hebe would never have been happy trapped indoors, it is now very quiet without her & she is sorely missed.

Rescue Cats to UK, please adopt a Greek Feline

Monday 1am, Pippen followed Pippa

Update 30/08/13

We have very sad news about Pippa, despite antibiotics, sub cutaneous saline, and any & every intervention we could think of that might help, she was unable to eat or keep fluids down & left us at dawn.
A salutary lesson for everybody to learn… do not ever give cow’s milk or condensed milk to newborn kittens.
Her brother Pippen is still with us although very frail, his future is uncertain. We are doing everything we can for him.

Oscar Fox Stowaway

12/08/13 Update:

The Pfötli (‘little feet’) Animal Rescue Service in Winkel, Zurich said it had taken charge of the cat, reckoned to be between two and three months old, on Monday.

Until now the male kitten had been cared for by a vet.

“He is a fighter and has got over his fever,” the shelter said on its website.

“He is a little shy at the moment, just sitting in his box, but he miaows when we speak to him.”

The shelter said a lot of people had expressed an interest in adopting the kitten but it would be several weeks before he could be released.

It said anyone interested in taking Oscar Fox should enquire in four weeks’ time.

More poisonings at Kaina

Two days ago, one more odious crime was brought about in “civilized” Kaina, 25 animals being murdered, a total of 85 animals within one year.

Yesterday Kaina was stigmatized internationally as an animal crematorium.
