(attention: shocking picture!) Today we got a message from tourists in Hotel Miramare Skala Potamia about a cat in a terrible condition with flies all over it. Luckily we were available to respond immediately. From the picture they sent, it was clear that the cat needed urgently help. We asked the tourists if there was anyone around to bring the cat to vet Lovolina Stamatekou because by the time one of us would arrive the cat would unnecessary suffer longer. The tourists, on their way to the beach, didn't hesitate for a moment and turned back to the hotel to catch the cat. Their own words were ..read more

Tourists from Moldavia found a babykitten in Limenaria. They took care of it and bottle fed it until they had to go home and then asked for our help. Although we are all full with kittens and injured or sick  cats we still tried to find a solution which we found in Sibylle. As we all know she has a big heart for the animals and she took the little one in her care. The tourist brought the kitten to her and left some money for food. We thank Alexander and family for caring and donating ..read more

In early September, setter Glen was rushed to the vet because he had a red and swollen penis. There it turned out that flies had laid eggs and the maggots were now feeding on his meat (beware of flies people)! All maggots and affected flesh were removed under anesthesia and the wound was thoroughly cleaned. The next day he was able to return to the shelter with the necessary medicines. A week later he was suddenly not well, he just layed and did not want to eat. His gums looked pale. Back to the vet as soon as possible. The wound on the penis looked good, so it couldn't be that. Blood tests an ..read more

One evening, a few days ago, some boys from the village came to Tanja's house. They had found a little kitten on the street. It had been crying for 2 hours and no sign of the mothercat. They told that they had asked several people to take the kitten, but with no result. Someone suggested to ask kyria Tanja... The truth is that Tanja could not take any more cats, but what do you do when children that at least care about an animal and try to save it, are standing on your doorstep??? They are the future, they need to learn and understand that it is good to help the animals in need! So she decided ..read more

Saturday we got a message from tourists about an injured kitten on a small beach towards Trypiti. Later the cat disappeared. Sunday other tourists sent a message about the same cat. Luckily Tanja could go there straight away to take the cat. It was clear that it had broken front legs, it was dehydrated and very skinny but still alive. Today we took the kitten to the vet. It had both front legs broken on multiple places and the vet thinks it is like that for weeks because one part was already growing (the wrong way) together. One leg could have been saved, if it didn't have a severe deep infect ..read more

We are so grateful for the tourists that reach out to us for help, but also actually do something themselves! Romanian tourists found a kitten with infected eyes and asked us where the closest vet was. They took it to Konstantina (who is an angel they told us later ?) who treated the cat and luckily the eyes could be saved. The tourists paid the bill and medicins but it needed some days therapy so it could not return to the streets. While we were searching for someone to take care of the kitten, the tourists reported us that the owner of their accommodation would take the kitten and take care ..read more

We got an email from a German lady who asked for help. Reading the email we understood that she did part of the 'helping' already by herself: "Thursday we found a pregnant cat, when she tried to deliver a baby in breech position. The kitten was already dead. We took her to a doctor in Limenaria, who saved the cat and one baby through emergency surgery. The cat has been injected with an antibiotic for a week and a painkiller, which lasts for 3 days. That should be sufficient. We have already paid for all costs. This is fine for us." She took the cats with her to her holiday home, but it is cle ..read more

Unfortunately we have some sad news to share with you. ?  Maybe you remember our old but very sweet setter Diana. We took her in November 2020 from an old man in Kalivia. He had Diana for years on his little plot with chickens. Someone informed us that the dog had a big tumor.We convinced the man to give us the dog and to pay a contribution towards the surgery, even if it is only a small amount. Tanja took Diana home and we arranged a surgery to remove the tumor. The surgery went well although she lost a lot of blood. But from this day on her life changed. At this time she was around 13 y ..read more

This is our newcomer Itchy. He is a greek hunting dog and seems still young. His story is very sad.  2 weeks ago a couple came to our ACT employee Sophia in the night. They had Itchy with them. He was sitting in the car shivering and huddled up. The couple took him from a hunter who didn't want him anymore. He told them either they take him or he would kill him. As a result, the couple immediately took Itchy. Unfortunately, they could not keep him themselves because they already have many dogs. So they brought him to us. Itchy is still very scared. The first few days he just cowered in a ..read more
