Why a Greek Cat Welfare Society?
Greece and the Greek islands are inundated with stray, abandoned and feral cats. The majority of them are born in the spring and survive through the kindness of tourists who feed them.
At the end of the summer season the tourists leave, and some cats survive through the kindness of local Greeks. However, many die of starvation or fall foul of cat hating people who poison them or worse. Attitudes to animal welfare can be very different in Greece from those in the UK; cats are often viewed as a nuisance and subjected to considerable cruelty, mass poisonings being particularly common before and after the tourist season, to “clean up”. GCWS exists to help reduce this cruelty.
Could you help?
If you could donate just a little to help the stray cats of Greece and its islands, it would make so much difference.
Or why not join?
Join us as an online member. You can sign up for monthly, annual or lifetime membership. This can be for a one off or recurring membership period. Member benefits include 2 newsletters a year and you can read all of our newsletters online. The subscription money goes towards our neutering campaigns, which are so very important. If we can cut the number of kittens being born the local people find the colonies more acceptable and the cats are less likely to be poisoned or suffer cruelty.
