First kittens arrive

These sad & bedraggled little orphans arrived from Chania pet rescue yesterday for bottle feeding their mother & one sibling had died.

The remaining 4 (2 girls & 2 boys we think!) after 3 hourly feeds all night are still alive & kicking, we are hopeful they will now make it.

They will be vaccinated, healthy & socialised by the time they are ready to leave us at 8 weeks, we will assist in neutering.

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.

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.
