We have 3 abuse cases we have treated & made well with the help of our vet, donations & great foster carers. These lucky ones have been either adopted or sponsored by generous donors & their flights paid to the UK.
So far Bonzo, Felix & Pasca are booked in for the second week of August.
Kitten in need
It was all happening at Woodland Nook this morning. The Greek girls were enjoying the Indian summer and in a VERY feisty mood. Twinks and Pasca were scuffling on the porch roof, when Twinks decided to reach for the sky. The descent was a little more precarious…
Twinks decided to reach for the sky
Twinks needs a home, so if you want some kitty excitement in your life, just get in touch!
Here is Twinky (formally Jackie). Her mother died in labour & was found dead in a field by the owners of the land. The kittens that did survive were left to fend for themselves & starve. They cried all night & day and the villa residents heard but could not reach them. A gallant tourist caught this little one through the fence but her sibling, despite traps could not be reached. We presume he/she is now dead. It will be at least a month before Twinky is stable, we think she is 5 weeks old maybe six but is skin & bones. She has an adorable nature, purring when picked & up she loves humans & cries for cuddles. Her eyes are clearing from the cat flu & thankfully she seems well otherwise. Twinky will be treated for all infections, vaccinated & we can assist with neutering. Please contact us if you can help her.

Another 20 dogs have been poisoned
On 10 June a meeting was held with the Deputy Prosecutor of Appeal, Crete & Mrs E. Chrysogianni regarding the animal shelter at Kaina
The meeting, held on a proposal of councillor Mrs. E. Terezakis also present was Deputy Mayor Mr.Nikolouzakis, Mrs Linda Lucas and a recorder.
The situation was analysed from many different perspectives. The prosecutor praised strongly all the effort of Ms Lucas and thanked her for trying to help the animals in the country against so many different adversities. It was conceded that there are always weaknesses, in any volunteer effort, but stressed that the Municipality should support the effort especially as so far the municipality has not done anything for strays, as required by law. The culture toward other creatures of nature was particularly stressed.
It was discussed that everyone loves animals, but only when they are away from our homes!
The Deputy Mayor was asked what he has done, or what programs have been put in place by the municipality for the animals of the region, but plans and proposals did not exist, only that the animals should leave Kaina.
It was stressed that the proposal, which had received the most support from of the Council, i.e. for all the animals to be removed to another shelter or sent abroad, was impossible, impractical and contrary to the law, the proposal of councillor Mrs Terezakis was agreed as feasible and realistic.
Not all cats need rescuing…
A tourists perspective on Cretan felines…
‘Today, our last day in Crete, we went by Ammos hotel (in tears) to say goodbye to “our” kitty. We saw her eating a pile of food! It turns out her owner lives next to the hotel. She was out on her terrace when we drove up. She feeds her ten cats. She also has a dog. “Our” cat is missing her front leg because she was in an accident. Her nice responsible owner took her to the vet. As Cats Pyjamas suspected, her missing shoulder resulted from veterinary surgery. So she is a safe, loved cat! We are so relieved that we failed to catch her and take her away from her owner! And brothers and sisters!
We also had luck finding Dr Eleni Maroulaki (sp.) and gave her the cat carrier, litter box, and litter that we had bought.
So altogether a lucky day.
Thank you for all your help and your wonderful work.
Sincerely
CP and KK from the Chania airport’
