Cats & Dogs poisoned in Kalamitsi-Exopoli area

Happened between 4pm Saturday afternoon, when I left the house and 6.30pm when my daughter got in. One was in the last throws when she arrived. Think the poison was thrown in the garden as two cats got it too and they were all within a few yards of the front door. Small friendly dogs. Foaming at mouth (and other end) 3 puppies now without a mother. Police came up and we made an official report.

Our Greek Vets, Arche Noah & all our volunteers and donators who have assisted in helping the above animals are and will be appalled at such brutal & callous behaviour.

Vet Pool publishes 2012 Report

Lucy

Lucy remains here with us; we paid for her dental surgery this week as after having her eye removed she was still in severe pain with lots of difficulty eating. On veterinary examination she had broken infected teeth caused by being kicked or struck with a heavy object left side of her face, poor brave girl. Lucy is now lying by the fire & recovering well.

Does anyone recognize Lucy? she has a very distinctive tash & beard, we think she may have strayed and would love to identify her true owners.

Gorgeous boy approximately 12-14 weeks abandoned by bins this stunning kitten is a Russian blue type.
Perfect coat colors & features, affectionate, litter trained, sociable but still a little bewildered by it all he needs gentle handling but is very intelligent & wants to explore.

Athens sterilisation program

The Animal Action and innovative, British natural cosmetics company Lush subsidizes neutering stray cats in Athens.
The sterilization program will be held throughout the month of October and will be a targeted effort to reduce the large stray cat population in Athens. Sterilization is the only humane and scientifically proven method of stray management. One has only to think of an entire or undesexed, stray cat can arise over 5,000 kittens in 5 years! The neutering of stray animals in Greece either by mobile veterinary team either via partner veterinary clinics is a key action for Animal Action. Only then will we achieve the desired result of reducing the large number of strays living in the streets of Greece.

For this year, the following projects are planned:

five weeks of castration used in Romania
a two-week castration used in the Dominican Republic
a two-week castration use with several veterinarians and volunteers in Cape Verde (Sal Island).
