'ANIMALS SHARE WITH US THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING A SOUL' ~ Pythagoras

'THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND ITS MORAL PROGRESS CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED' ~ Mahatma Gandhi

I left the UK and came to live in this beautiful part of Greece with two cats in 2005. Never did I think that animal welfare/rescuing would take over all other planned activities. The plight of these helpless innocent souls is heartbreaking.

Angel

Driving to feed our regulars by some large metal bins, a new pussy cat appeared and was hungry. We had seen this cat briefly a few days before, but it is always a case of come and go.  This particular day, we were able to catch her and put straight into the basket.  Quickly she was taken to join all the other in the field.  Because she was so feral, it was difficult to keep her in a basket, so we took our chances and gave her freedom.  She stayed for a few days and then vanished.  It truly is heartbreaking as one cannot save all. When they are so feral, they become used to their own surrounds and hunt for food.  Angel had so many wounds on her, which surprisingly she allowed us to bathe.  Took her medicine too with her food and we hoped she would stay and get better.  She might still be around, but we don't know, as where she came from, there are so many stray dogs that are dumped and many puppies.
