โ€œWeโ€™ve had another busy week neutering the cats of the Island. We brought in 48 cats for neutering and another 4 needing veterinary care. We wish to say a big thank you to the GCWS whose recent donation covered the cost of all the neutering. We cannot do anything without the support of organisations and the people who donate, so thank you all so much, you are making a huge difference to the lives of these catsโ€ ๐Ÿ’• 

Your donations really do make a difference towards giving these cats a better life, thank you and please donate if you can ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

โ€œI would like to thank the GCWS from the bottom of my heart, for their generous donations for 40 cat sterilisations.
With the help of a lot of caring people, such as yourselves, I am able to further my mission in controlling the stray and feral populations, with the practice of TNR (trap, neuter, return) 
Thanks to your donations it is possible for me to continue the sterilisation project and thus fulfil my promise to stabilise the stray and feral cat populations and improve their lives. 
Sadly no one cares about stray cats in my community. Cats are unwanted and mistreated by most people. Our municipality is totally indifferent to the pain of these poor animals. Thatโ€™s why I have made a lifetime commitment to helping them by trying to stabilise their populations.
I look after 250 cats and 27 feral cat colonies. I have them neutered and treated for wounds and illnesses. 
Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. 
I appreciate your help so much! 
Nikolaosโ€
