Early summer report

Postby Symi Animal Welfare » 20 May 2014, 09:19

The final total for the 2013/14 winter feeding programme was 1494 euros, with some foodstuffs kindly donated by Sotiris in the Village + Hatzipetros in the harbour supermarkets. Volunteers took food for the street-cats 2 or 3 times weekly for at least 5 months, to over 20 locations. A few of the volunteers who feed larger numbers, received an extra supply of biscuits after the initial distribution in early December. Thankyou all, for your commitment, the island cats are looking good now that summer has arrived and hopefully, their supply of tasty scraps!

During the winter, we managed to get 5 cats over to a vet on Rhodes, for either treatment or neutering. Another Rhodes' vet has also been to the island 3 times recently, specifically for vaccinations and general check-ups, he hopes to continue these visits on a monthly basis.

Our volunteer UK vet, has just completed a successful week, when 41 cats were neutered; a truly international 'team' made it possible ' a German volunteer helping a Greek neighbour, a Swiss volunteer transporting a French friend's cats, a Danish volunteer organising delivery of cat-boxes to a Greek retired sea-captain. we are delighted with the fantastic co-operation of all involved.

Our collection boxes can be found at the Sunrise kafeneion, Kalodoukas, Symi Visitor and Symi Dream offices. We look forward to seeing you at some point during the summer. Your support is amazing, thankyou, Melanie, Tove, Suzan, Claudia and Hazel
