Best Wishes and A Happy New Year from the Symi Animal Welfare team.
We have recently been in contact with the Greek Animal Welfare Fund regarding a springtime vet visit to the Island.
They have agreed to send a Greek vet and assistant at the end of March/beginning of April which is marvellous news, as yet we do not know the duration of their stay or the exact dates. Any surgery so early in the year will of course produce excellent results which will be apparent during the summer months, it will ensure that the street cat population remains healthy and controlled. Then, all being well, Martin will return for his annual autumn visit.
The winter feeding programme continues, our volunteers are giving their 'adopted families' a meal of tinned food, pasta and biscuits several times a week at their allocated station. We have also noticed that most of the restaurants which are open have also been putting out scraps, this is as well as the cat-lovers who aren't directly involved with SAW. You will be delighted to hear that the street cats overall look well and strong, 'cared-for' in fact!
Once there is more information from GAWF, full details will be published.
Thank you for your messages of support.
