Welcome
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Association President Catherine Candy welcomed old and new members. Sheets of paper for suggestions for the KATs 2024 calendar were distributed. Detailed accounts of income/expenses were passed around and available to anyone who wished to see them.
Treasurer's Report
The Treasurer Janet Jones went through the accounts of 2022. Money this year had been raised from a number of sources, the Svoronata Charity Shop, Katelios book/food sales, KATs calendars/t-shirts, Christmas Fayre, Afternoon Tea Event, Easyfundraising, direct donations through Paypal or into the various bank accounts and cash donations either directly or through tins in various shops. We were also lucky enough to have a Matching Funds Challenge from RescueDiva.com organized by Katerina Lorenzatos Makris, who donated 2500 to double donations. One of our lovely supporters Leslie helped to raise the money quickly. Katelios group of volunteers was especially thanked for what they do on their end, coffee/food mornings, book sales, quizzes, competitions, etc. Thanks was also given to all the volunteers and to all the persons that donated items for the shop, money etc. A detailed account of supporters names is available.
Janet reported the raised and outgoing monies as follows:
Income 64.293,77 Euro
Less Expenditure 52.797,36 Euro
Total 11.496,41 Euro
In 2022 the Charity covered its expenses and has money going forward into 2023.
Neutering and our Mission
Cathy took the floor to discuss the TNRs that were organized and carried out in the Lixuri Municipality. Dogs brought in were in very bad condition, the cats even worse being sickly with fleas, ear mites and worms.
During the TNR, those who had helped in the organization, wanted to shut it down as there were not enough animals being brought in due to a lack of adequate advertising on part of the municipality. The vet and volunteers refused to give up and went out themselves catching cats resulting in one hundred cats and one dog being neutered; the dog being lucky enough to find a home with one of our supporters. . The number of neuters at the TNRs was 53 dogs, 56 female cats and 45 male cats. The organizer of this program will not be involved in any future programs due to their negativity on this program.
The numbers for neuters at the local vets were 61 female dogs, 43 male dogs, 483 female cats and 169 male cats. Combined with the TNR the total of animals neutered in 2022 is a total of 910. This has decreased from last year, hopefully a sign that strays will be decreasing.
KAT received funds from Greek Animal Rescue (GAR) that they sent specifically to sponsor Stepping Stones Foster Organization dogs and was used to neuter all of the female dogs residing there.
Any Other Business/Questions
It was very sad to hear the passing of one of our great supporters, Darren Hunt. He lost his battle with cancer but was continuing to raise money till the end. He will be remembered for aiding the charity with car boot and other sales. He will be missed very much.
Various items were discussed that will be happening this year. There will be a TNR in Lixuri again from 20 to 28 March. Two vets will arrive with one doing cats and the other dogs. A building will be provided by the municipality. KATs have asked it be cleaned and ready by 17/3. Free transport for the ferry has also been requested.
KATs is also considering doing a TNR this autumn in Argostoli Municipality, bringing in a team of vets from Holland. Argostoli Municipality has stated they will approve one if the charity does not ask for things they cannot provide.
Vice president Janice Holmes suggested that we email a newsletter with KAT news and events as everyone is not on Facebook and is sometimes not aware of the events. Jean Baker said if Janice sends her the info she can attach it to the emails she already sends out.
Another Afternoon tea is being organized and members were requested to book a spot as there is limited availability.
Unsold calendars were passed out to the members.
The suggestions for the 2024 calendar were collected.
Everybody was thanked for attending and the meeting was closed.
