Dear friends, a moving story from our Vivi who runs the Adespotologio charity.
Hope our sweet boy fully recovers, thank you Vivi Katifori for making him better. It is never ending but so many are saved by you and your team.

I have learned the hard way that in animal welfare to postpone and delay because you are tired or bored can really make the difference between life and death for an animal.
There are cases that are still heavy in my soul, after many years. Cats that I felt or saw that needed help and I said "welll... not now. I will trap you tomorrow."
This is exactly what happened with this poor huge tomcat... He appeared before the summer outside my building, he came for the food and also spent time there, sleeping or sitting with the rest of the cats. He seemed big and strong, but dirty, like any unneutered male. He sneezed a bit, but I told to myself "well, it does not look serious, when i will trap you for neutering, you will get antibiotics."
But i never trapped him. He came and he went, the summer came and went and i was always tired or bored or too busy. "Well, it is just a male, i will trap him eventually."
And then, the day came when he did not appear anymore. "Strange, we are now after the mating season... What happened?" I started asking aroung the neighbourhood, to the network of feeders and volunteers....
The boy was located. He was very sick, only 1 block away, staying on an empty field with an old ruined house, barely moving, not eating.
We went there at night, searching but could not find him in the darkness and tall weeds. But the girl living across the street and feeding kept the dropper to try the next day if he appeared.
So finally, he was trapped. Severe pneumonia and dehydration, he was in very bad shape. He needed infusions and we had to feed him with a syringe several days. Although he looked strong and big, he is in fact an older boy... Almost no teeth. He is new to our area, who knows what his story is.

But we were lucky. He has responded very well to the treatment so far, already eating dry food, no runny nose. He is afraid but very cooperative.A very sweet boy. I can be hopeful for a full recovery.
So that is the situation for all of us in animal welfare... We have no possibility to be bored, tired or postpone. Because if something happens to the animal because of this, then we carry the remorses in our souls for a very long time...

Dear friends, Stefano’s story, he needs a forever home...

Name Stefanos
Born September 2016
colour white orange

I found stefano when he was 3 months old in very bad contition he ate something toxic and was in semi- coma for a few days. Also had pneumonia. He stayed at vet more than 2,5 months. He has recovered without any issues but pneumonia left behing a snoring. In his back left foot missing the fingers and he walks in a little different way than other cats.(someone cut it) He needs time to trust, is an independent cat, likes people when he wants to approach. He loves food. He is sweet and kind cat and loves home life. Vaccinated, neutered, blood tested for fel-v, fiv and fip negative!!! Born September 2016
Could be the only animal in a home. He is afraid of male cats (my 2 male cats hunding him so i close them in a room alone). He likes to sleep in my bed. He does not like to hug him ( i'm working on that) or pik him up.

If you would like to adopt this sweet boy, please email Elena:

Mr Woolfie – An Adorable and Funny Cat

Another Nice Day In Paradise

August 6, 2015 By Phil

(Mary Meadows) I paused for thought after being greeted by a fellow tourist with “morning, another nice day in paradise!” Yes, I thought, while it’s true that you can’t fault the constant sunshine, the sea, beaches and scenery, it is certainly no paradise for animals. Perhaps this tourist’s first visit to Crete, or possibly Greece… [Read More]
