Good animal news, for a change!

KATs had a plea from tourist Yvvone from North Wales, to see what could be done about a painfully thin and poorly spaniel that had been wandering around Katelios for some time. Yesterday Yvonne and I took the dog to Spiridoula the vet, semi-expecting it to be a one way journey for this sweet and trusting little girl. Yes, she has Leishmainia but not so bad, and it can be cured with medication, costing 100 euros. We sweated for 24 hours waiting for the results of the kidney test... and woop-woop, they were fine! But where to home her, everyone I knew was overbursting with animals - eventually ARK agreed to take her. When Yvonne got back to her hotel, she managed to collect 70 euros in donations from other guests, and Kostas from Venus Car Hire in Katelios has agreed to foster the dog at his premises until we find a forever home for her.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the KATs charity for funding the tests and future neutering and also to thank Constance and Suzanne for their very generous donations at Aliti's Bar last night (Friday 5 Sept). We now have enough money to fund the medication, spot-on and wormer but of course, we always need more! Finally, to animal lover Yvonne, without her attention, the dog may not have survived the summer, so thanks to you all. On Monday we will collect Aphrodite, Sweetie, Koukla (we can't decide on a name yet!) and bring her back to Katelios to start her treatment and happier new life[/img]. So I know she will appreciate a bit of a fuss if you are passing by!

I do love happy endings, don't you..?!

Unfortunately, can't attach a picture as my picture is apparently too big! The picture is on my or the KATs facebook page, if you trust this website..?!

That is excellent news Jean. We are staying in Katelios at the moment and were concerned about a cat family up the road opposite Aliti's, a male, mother and 4 or so kittens but alerted KATS and been assured they know about them although we are still taking some food as I am sure others are.

Jolly Roger:
Here is the picture Jean.



Thanks for keeping an eye on the kittens Annie. I knew someone was feeding them, but didn't know who!
They all look strong and healthy and we should be able to get them neutered at the beginning of November.

Annie P:
We will keep giving them some food when we pass until we leave on Tuesday. Mind you, this morning only three of the kittens and the male appeared. He let them feed though. There is another batch of kittens in the garden opposite the Village Garden taverna in the back road. One of them was all hunched up last night and this morning and does not look well. Again, I am sure folk awAre of them.

Bryan-in-Kilkis:
Lovely to hear such good news.  A tip of the hat to all concerned...  :)
