Dear friends,

Out of the blue in July 2019 we received an email from Chan of the Animal Human Alliance in Singapore, saying he owned a cat food brand called Gold-D that was manufactured in Belgium.
He was offering to raise food for our charity to be sent out to organisers in Greece.......we were sceptical......could this really be a genuine offer??......After investigating further we realised that YES IT WAS!
After many exchanges of emails and sharing of information the first donation arrived in November and was transported to Kavala with the logistical help of Greek Animal Rescue. The cats there loved this premium quality food.
A further large shipment has since been dispatched to Nine Lives in Athens. Please read their extremely grateful report below.
We would like to give huge thanks to Chan of Gold-D and all his friends and associates who have so generously contributed to these donations. We and the Greek cats look forward to the next deliveries!

We are deeply grateful to Chan for contacting the GCWS and providing us with so much cat food the cats thought they were in heaven and so did we!

Athens cats go for Gold

An extremely generous donation of Gold D premium food, through GCWS, is a treat for over 500 Athenian street cats.
A Nine Lives volunteer walks down an Athens street. Not a cat in sight. But one quiet call and the rustle of a cat-food bag are the equivalent of the pied piper’s irresistible melody. Cats appear from nowhere, crawling out from under cars, leaping over walls, easing from the glassless windows of derelict buildings, hurrying past ancient statues and slipping between diners’ feet out of tavernas. Five minutes later, the cats are gathered around a clean bowl of fresh water, crunching their way happily through a smorgasbord of cat biscuits.
This scenario is repeated every single day all around Athens, with Nine Lives volunteers visiting over 500 spayed/neutered colony cats each day to feed them, rain or shine, despite work or family commitments, ill health or any of a myriad possible ‘excuses’. The difference this day is that these star-shaped cat biscuits have come all the way from Singapore, via the UK, thanks to an incredible 500kg donation of Gold D premium dry food, topped up with a feast of tinned and sachet food most kindly donated and transported to Athens thanks to the volunteers of the Greek Cat Welfare Society and Greek Animal Rescue.

Nine Lives were first contacted by Chan Wah of Gold D food Singapore in summer 2019, when he sent us a questionnaire about our work, what we do and why, for him to see if indeed we – or, rather, the cats we care for – were bona fide recipients of his company’s support.
We explained how we work towards better quality of life for street cats in Athens now and for the future through neutering, vet care, feeding, and – when possible or imperative – adoption. We told him about the 500 neutered/spayed cats in colonies around Athens who we feed every day. Some of these cats live around the most historic sites of ancient Athens, while many others live in less picturesque, underprivileged areas, where everyday life for humans and animals alike is a struggle.
We mentioned how we also continue to help the hundreds of cats in the firestricken Mati coastal area, funding an ongoing TNR and feeding programme since the wildfires of 2018, and how we supply food to various older people feeding colonies of cats and unable to cope on their reduced pensions, as well as to kind fosterers who offer space in their own homes for cats rescued from hoarding and other cases of neglect or abuse.
Thanks to Chan, and to GCWS for coordinating it all, an overflowing pallet of food arrived in January, to the delight of 500 purring felines and their most grateful volunteers. All of us at Nine Lives Greece send our heartfelt thanks – and invite Chan and other friends and supporters from afar to join us, the cat pied pipers of Athens, as we lure the cats for a delicious feast of Gold D premium food. ...

Dear friends,
Christina has sent us an update on the cats of Rethymno...
We thank Gerlinde, Ulla and Christine from Rethymno Animal Welfare for neutering 32 cats and are very grateful too to the persons who in these challenging times go out to feed the stray cats.

I hope this finds you well and safe. Just a few days before the major lockdown Gerlinde, together with Ulla and Christine organized a cat neutering day of which I've attached some photos. 32 cats were neutered . Despite the many difficulties, many people continue to feed the street cats and some even mange to trap and take for neutering, more photos attached. At least until harder restrictions are enforced. Thank-you to all your supporters who make this help possible. Rethymno Animal Welfare ... See MoreSee Less
