As temperatures continue to soar and humidity levels remain high, Symi's street animals constantly seek out a shady spot in an effort to keep cool. So, drivers on the island take note - the shadows underneath your vehicle could well be the coolest place in town for a cat to chill-out! Please check before you drive off?
Visitors may notice that certain dogs and cats seem to be quite thin at the moment and that their fur is dull - naturally is you are seriously concerned about an animal's general welfare please contact one of our team, so that a volunteer can check out the situation and look for signs of dehydration or injury. The animals do have a much smaller appetite during the hot months so will generally appear much thinner, but, as mentioned many times before, will always appreciate a drink of clean water, preferably from a plastic container placed in a safe position.
The glossy fur coats will return once the temperatures fall and the cats don't need to roll about in dusty, dirty and dark places in an escape from the heatwave.
