S A W Symi Animal Welfare, Autumn News 2008
We are delighted to announce that the UK vet, Martin Bilson, will be on Symi again during October.
Due to general feeling and comment from tourists and residents alike regarding a declining cat population, S A W will not be doing any 'random' cat catching or neutering this year. We respect such comments and appreciate recent feed-back on this issue. Our intention has always been to help control and maintain a healthy cat population on Symi, recent reports suggest that our efforts and hard-work over the years are paying off. We will of course be monitoring the situation over the coming months .
For further information please email me at symielec@otenet.gr or telephone 0030 6978415546
Would you like to be a SAW volunteer whilst the vet is here, or during the winter-feeding programme which will commence later in the year. Or perhaps you'd prefer to become more directly involved? Please let us know.
Thank you, as always, for your support, Melanie Sharp

Yes indeed, I've really noticed the improvement during my years of visiting Symi. Keep up the good work!

Sickly kittens expiring in the streets are a thing of the past, thank goodness.

The secret to survival is a well developed sense of the ridiculous. |

| At least I have a lot of cats around. I will try Mille to put some pictures here |
If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a closed room with a mosquito |

Tove does have a LOT of cats around! Here's a few photos I took at her house a couple of weeks ago. Hope the kittens are well.

Don't argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. |

Better late than never, sorry about the delay. I have had a few very busy days!
And a happy Symi cat living in Denmark gave birth recently

What beautiful and healthy looking pussycats Tove...they are gorgeous . I particularly like the little white one with a stubby tail who likes like he/she has a wayward eyebrow . |
Yesterday is experience, tomorrow is hope... today is getting from one to the other. |

Beautiful cats and kittens!
I'd love to have as many as that. Really like the photo of the kitten in the bowl!

Experience suggests it doesn't matter so much how you got here, as what you do after you arrive. |

School dinners  .
I remember being lined up, but we never ate them as enthusiastically as that.  |

Anthony, the cats reside around Tove's house up in Chorio.
Cant wait to see them (and the house) in real life! |

And that is just half of them. I have at least 20 coming around for dinner, breakfast, lunch and supper .Use more money on them than on food and drinking for myself .But I wouldn't be without them.But I think I have to take some of them to the vet in October otherwise we will have double as many next year.But they are cute |
