October Report

[Symi Animal Welfare]

As some of you who have recently visited Symi will have noticed, there are so many kittens around. Without a regular vet visit this was bound to be the situation, however, we were delighted to listen to so many comments as to how healthy most of them are. Our volunteers try to monitor the progress of any litters nearby providing water and any other support required by either the youngsters or the mother cat. Several young cats are now in loving homes...................... these are the ones we know about.............

Jack is now at the Sunrise Kafeneion, his exploits and photos are a regular feature on Facebook I'm told

2 litters are being well cared for by a volunteer in Pedi

Django, who unfortunately is blind, has been at our home since he was just 3 weeks old. Getting stronger each day, he has acclimatised to his surroundings, his antics at times are just so comical!

An 8 year old rescue cat will soon be on his way to England as his carers have given up their holiday-home here

Many older rescue animals who you all know - Delfi, Loulou, Boogie, Betty, Kookie, Reg and Tasha - were given the joint birthday of September 22nd! Loulou and Delfi are gorgeous 9 year olds now.


Several harbour kittens are now living on a farm up in the mountains, with a big softie, adopted uncle rescue dog
