Grassroots direct action initiative for nonhuman animals
UK-registered charity # 1203785
TNR-focused

Travel Animal Rescue Global is a non-speciesist animal rights organization whose mission is to prevent animal suffering before it’s created. Among other things, our Athens, Greece chapter focuses on the spay and neuter of free-living cats alongside the local community. 100% of donations go towards this work. We do not rescue, as we instead focus our resources on Trap-Neuter-Return while supporting

animal protection groups across the Global South. Animals who live unhoused on the street are at risk from severe weather, chronic illnesses, injuries, viruses and diseases, traffic accidents, and never experiencing love or care. Most of the illnesses and injuries they suffer from are completely preventable. By focusing on deworming, vaccinating, spaying, and neutering, we can help reduce their suffering and prevent the suffering of other animals. UK-registered charity # 1203785

🐈‍⬛ Round 2 of trapping with Marianna and Nita this week and we have finished another cornerstone colony.

Remember this colony in the jungle alleyway?

We surprisingly found a mum, three kittens, two pregnant cats, and multiple intact males outside our physical therapy appointment earlier this year.

We immediately coordinated with the neighbors - who fed, loved, and cared for these guys - to withhold food and trap the two pregnants for emergency spay abort appointments.

They were spayed, alongside two other young males who were neutered.

We returned a second time to trap the kittens mum, plus another two intact males.

Of course, we weren’t finished until kittens were also sterilised when old enough.

This week, we returned one last time to finish catching and sterilising this entire little family.

With the help of two dear friends and comrades, we successfully secured all 3 kittens who are now well grown up and healthy.

They were sterilised, and returned to their jungle alley the next day.

•••

Ensuring a colony is totally spayed/neutered is absolutely essential to ensuring the work is effective and efficient.

Any cats we agree to help via sterilisation and vet treatment must also have their entire colony sterilised.

We do not TNR one cat here and there - strategically, this is pointless beyond helping that one individual.

When resources are limited - such as donations, time, and energy - all actions must be strategic in order not to be wasted.

Personally, the Tomahawk drop trap has been an absolute blessing in finishing colonies by catching the last elusive kitties.

Do you use the Tomahawk to finish your colonies, or another method?

14/09/2024

🐆 Just a few of the kittens we saw on the street this week. These little guys all live in colonies with totally sterilised adult cats - except for their mum, and a wandering male somewhere. While a cat colony may achieve a 90% sterilisation rate, 1 single birth can undo a lot of work, because if all kittens from that litter aren’t caught before their own first reproductive cycle, they will also have a litter who we cannot totally catch for sterilisation, and on it goes. And of course, any kittens born on the street will suffer, and 70% or more will die quickly. ••• We’ve spent much of our time trapping at colonies until every single cat has been sterilised - but this takes a lot of work. We believe the sterilisation rate of most of our managed colonies is between 95% and 100%. That has involved one or two big trappings to get the majority of the cats to the vet, and then multiple return trips to chip away at the last remaining intact cats. That also involves research-based visits to check on the colony for their well-being and any new arrivals. That means the likelihood of the TNR work being undone by one litter is very low, unless a new wandering female cat joins these colonies. We know that unless TNR continues even after a colony is managed, in a few years the colony’s population can be right back to the same place it began. And for a lot of TNR programs, the work is focused on mass amounts of catching and neutering, rather than returning to catch all colony members. Largely that’s because in many places, the free-living cat population is massive and urgent action is needed. Which begs the question, how much time should we spend catching the last few intact cats of these colonies, v. working on other colonies with more unsterilised cats? What is our tolerance for new births occurring?What does success look like? How do we know when we can transition our TNR trips to each colony into research trips? Are we okay leaving any intact females unless pregnant? What about intact males? ••• What do you think? What sterilisation rate % do you aim for?

🐈‍⬛ This week, we trapped the 667th cat who passed through the TNR program, since January 2024, in 📍Athens, 🇬🇷

Here are 10 of the many surprised faces we encountered peering back at us.

It’s been a ton of work, but we can safely say in the colonies we’ve worked in, the colonies contain around 85% to 95% sterilised residents, with some colonies 100% sterilised, or the only remaining kittens in the schedule for the coming months.

Keeping on top of colonies until they’re totally sterilised is absolutely vital to prevent this massive sterilisation work from backsliding and being ruined by one or two litters of kittens.

In most of the colonies, we’ve seen the cats showing up again after their return, and their health conditions improving, from skin conditions turning into health coats, to putting on healthy weight, to becoming friendlier with the feeder.

•••

These community cats were caught for sterilisation and basic medical care. They receive treatment for parasites plus other medical issues in addition to their spay/neuter surgery.

Then they are returned to the colony we found them after a 24h recovery, unless they have extra needs requiring a longer recovery.

Given that every cat on the street cannot be adopted into a home or shelter, TNR is the best way to prevent free-roaming animals from suffering and dying on the street.

9 more of the many cuties who were spayed/neutered last week, totalling 550 cats sterilised or helped through the TNR program since January 2024.

20/06/2024

🐈‍⬛ Some more of the many cuties who were spayed + neutered over the last week, plus some important medical cases.

Slide 1) before - we found this boy in a colony in an archaeological site which is difficult to trap in because it’s so big, and one must carry all the equipment inside on foot.

Sadly, this means we found a few colonies with new mums and kittens, who we will return to catch and spay in some weeks when the kittens are old enough.

This intact boy was clearly struggling to eat as his mouth was hanging open, drooling, and had pain when attempting to consume food.

After several attempts, one day we got lucky and caught him with the dropper.

Slide 2) after - the vet found a chicken bone stuck in his mouth. It was removed, he was neutered, and spent several days in foster with before returning to his colony.

Slide 3) after - this old girl is part of a colony we closed last week by catching the last two intact males. The local feeders have done really well sterilising everyone else!

She was clearly suffering with mouth issues, so after a dental cleaning/extractions and several days in foster, she was returned to her colony.

Slide 4) after - we found this little one in another archaeological site, and although the left eye seemed missing, it seemed to be a bit infected.

After a check from the vet, sterilisation, parasite treatment, plus long lasting antibiotics, there seemed to be improvement and they were returned to their colony and vigilant caretaker.

Slide 5 + 6) two females who have been giving birth for years and could be petted, but not trapped. With the feeders’ advice on eating place and time, we managed to catch both with the Tomahawk and spayed them.

Even with a litter of 3 month old kittens, they were both already pregnant again.

+++

These cuties were saved under the TNR program.

🐈‍⬛ We’re halfway there.

We’re officially 500 sterilised cats deep into this project thanks to .

5 months of this project has resulted in
_____

509 community cats helped
211 females spayed
277 males neutered
85 litters of kittens prevented from birth on the street
27 cats fostered thanks to the amazing
21 cats rehabilitated and given extra care

All thanks to dedicated colleagues, relentless colony caretakers, and amazing trapping partners.

Every month has had its own challenges. The seasons have changed along with the weather, and now we’re knee-deep in heat waves that affect trapping patterns and cat behaviour. Mating and birthing seasons have come and gone.

The current period is frustrating as we’re now finding nursing female cats in some of our managed colonies. This means we have two months (at least) to wait until the kittens can start eating solid food and stop nursing (which could otherwise compromise their mums midline spay incision), but we can’t wait too long as they’ll be pregnant soon after that.

Another frustration is trying hard to “finish” our managed colonies before moving on, which ensures the work we’ve done isn’t undone but just a few births which can quickly turn into a lot of births.

This week, we re-visited colonies we haven’t visited since last year, and those kittens have already had kittens. This shows how crucial it is to return to colonies

However, returning for one or two cats wastes time when you have a TNR quota to meet.

If we spend too much time trying to fully close a colony, you don’t meet your TNR numbers for that day. But if we lapse in our attention to that colony, new births will go under the radar and undo the work.

But we have a plan and a colony schedule in mind. The feeders are being great and keeping us in the loop of unsterilised females, new arrivals, and ages of kittens.

On the other hand, our first cat counting trial run of a massive area in central Athens at 6PM during peak tourist/taverna feeding time showed only 1 unsterilised cat.

That’s a job well done.
And the work continues (as long as the heat allows us).

After months of making friends with the local aquarium shop, and of course being a patron because there’s nowhere else to purchase the aquarium supplies needed for Miso, we managed to rescue a second fish.

He always suggested getting a companion for Miso, but we always said we’d never purchase one - only rescue.

Finally, he agreed.

This wobbly little creature can coexist with Betta fish - who do not tolerate every type of fish including other Betta’s - and as a bottom feeder, he’ll help clean up waste and leftover food created by Miso.

The shop owner says he’s had a wobbly spine since birth, but that he’s otherwise in good health.

Generally he’s always had the mindset of “I wouldn’t give away a sick fish even as a gift,” and it’s taken weeks to demonstrate that the sick or “unprofitable” ones are exactly the ones we will take in as rescue.

Especially if they will otherwise be killed or thrown in the bin.

This rescue was totally unplanned and unexpected, but luckily after Miso we’ve managed to learn a great deal about water dwellers making this rescue a bit easier and less scary.

Months after Miso’s rescue, I’m amazed at how low barrier to entry rescuing small fish can be.

The cost of their care (without medical expenses when needed) is very low.

The tank supplies and fish food last ages, meaning he costs very little on a recurring basis.

He sits in his fully enriched tank and just does his thing. No walks, no kennelling, just a bit of play / learning if he wants.

He gets cleaned out once a week, or more if needed.

📢 Pet shops and aquariums are forever prisons devoid of love, life, and enrichment. They commodify nonhuman animals for human entertainment.

Animals are not objects.

Anyone who wants to make a big difference in a little creatures life can consider rescuing or adopting a little aquatic person!

🐟 This little one needs a name. What should it be?

On National Animal Rights Day, we reflect on some trickier cases we’ve seen in this year’s mass TNR program.

While TNR is the focus, we’re bound to meet individuals with additional needs • and if we’re acting from an animal rights perspective = we do this solely for their well-being = which they have a right to, thus we are obligated to treat them as needed.

While an ability to give additional medical care is dependent on access to resources, some treatments are easy to provide, such as extra pain relief, or an additional night stay in the clinic.

Some of this years’ successes.

+++

Slide 1) remember this girl with pyometra? She spent extra days in the clinic after surgery, made a full recovery, & returned to her elated carer.

Slide 2/3) we found this emaciated boy dripping with f***s and an infected eye. After an eye enucleation & several days in recovery, he bounced back much better than before with a well healed eye.

Slide 4) these kitten siblings were found in a managed colony, but seemed not well even though we couldn’t put our finger on why. They were trembling, couldn’t sit properly, and walked gingerly. After some days in foster pre-op, teeth extractions + spay peri-op, and more days in foster post-op, they were feeling much better than when we found them.

Slide 5/6) it was clear when trapped this girl needed eye treatment, and after an eye enucleation in addition to her spay, she spent extra days in foster and recovered beautifully.

Slide 7/8) this adult male was struggling to breath when we found him. He was neutered, treated, and spent multiple days in foster recovering before being returned to his colony.

Slide 9) these 3 siblings belong to a mum who was spayed last year, and when they were old enough, they too were sterilised before they reached reproductive age to prevent them ever having to suffer through that. They now eat and sleep happily together in their colony.

Slide 10) when we provide late term pregnant spays, we aim to keep them an extra day or two to recover. This is often dependent on the vet agreeing or having a foster free - but we do it whenever we can.

Warm thanks to foster

🐈‍⬛ This is what the progression of life on the street for intact male cats looks like.

Slide 1 is a young intact boy less than 1 year old who we trapped for neutering.

Slide 2 is a slightly older intact male trapped for neutering from a different colony but found on the same day, and he’s clearly experienced a longer, rougher life on the streets.

Slide 3 is an older intact male trapped for neutering from a different colony but again found on the same day, and he’s clearly been through a lot.

This is what happens to them over the years. They become sick, injured, and fearful.

We have done so many eye enucleations for male cats, fixed broken tails, treated abscesses, and they often have extra needs like infections requiring medication.

It is not okay to leave them intact in the street without basic veterinary care just because they’re male and can’t give birth.

Male cat advocacy is just as important as the females and kittens.

🐈‍⬛ these 3 stinky boys were neutered, provided parasite treatment, and basic medical care over the past few weeks thanks to .

27/05/2024

🐈‍⬛ 10 more of the many cuties who were spayed + neutered over the last two weeks.

One major win was closing a colony by catching and spaying the last two remaining difficult females (who we know of) thanks to incredible feeder Inna Dzhanmirsobaeva. This wouldn’t have been possible without her.

Around half (203) of the cats who have been sterilised (total of 459) under the 2024 TNR program were living in areas that Inna feeds. She not only feeds, but provides them treatments as needed.

Everyday, she and others face hate and violence.

Doing this work as a foreigner is tricky - not only doing so mindfully and alongside the community so as not to act as a judgemental “saviour” coming in from overseas to “fix” a problem, but also dealing with hate for being a foreigner, facing words like - go back to your own country and leave us alone to deal with this problem our way.

Being from the US comes with privilege, and I receive less of this hate than non-white people, and yet, non-white people make up a huge part of the animal protection community both here and globally.

Being perceived as a woman comes with risk, and we receive more of this hate than men in animal protection, and yet, non-men make up a huge part of the animal protection community globally.

Nevertheless, the foreigners, the non-men, and the disenfranchised run around trying to help the world with all of their might.

Shelters, sanctuaries, and rescues globally are predominantly run by women and non-men. Many have started these rescues with their male partners who eventually left them to face it alone. They pour love into the world and the animals they save.

It takes so much strength to fight an uphill battle while being torn down for doing so.

For those of you who fall into these categories - you are stronger, more courageous, and more valuable than your community thinks.

We see you, you’re amazing 🖤 thank you for continuing to fight.

Thanks as always to for helping these cuties.

🐈‍⬛ 10 more of the many kids who were spayed / neutered the past week.

In addition to sterilisation, they received ear, nose, and eye checks which often result in teeth extractions or dental cleaning. They received wound care and parasite treatment to address ear mites, flea allergies, and intestinal worms. The ones who needed it received antibiotics, anti inflammation, and pain relief to help them beat whatever sickness they’re battling.

Thanks as always to .

* Slides 2 and 3 show eye injuries *

In our search for cats to TNR, we must connect and collaborate with feeders and caretakers who know them, their colonies, and their habits best.

We navigate community attitudes towards TNR and community cats.

We also rely on a network to help with post-op recovery and special cases like…

kittens.

We have been massively successful in preventing births since January. Of the 416 cats who have passed through the TNR program in 2024,

🍉 223 were male (castrations)
🍉 179 were female (ovariohysterectomies)
🍉 74 (41%) were pregnant at the time of their spay surgery

A rough estimation shows that,

🍉 average of 4 kittens per litter
= 296 new cats who would have been born

🍉 average of 100 cats trapped per month
= 3 additional months of trapping these kittens for sterilisation

= estimated €15,000 just in sterilisation costs, not including extra medical needs or other operating expenses, if those pregnant spays hadn’t been done.

Even though tons of winter pregnancies have been prevented from becoming births (and deaths),

over the past few weeks we are seeing the products of the latest kitten season.

Three batches of young kittens (from our TNR-focused colonies) with infected eyes passed from either their sick mum or their environment have required extra care.

All are in foster receiving treatment, something we could not have achieved without a network of people willing to help.

Help is hard to come by when at every street corner you turn there are kittens and animals in need.

But we also need to consider how far we balance efforts to “clean up” the products of reproduction (rescue and rehab) v. prevent reproduction + the need for rescue (spay/neuter/vaccinate).

With a deprivation of resources comes really hard choices. We • must • focus on the most effective activities to reach our goals, but how do we do that while ensuring we don’t lose our empathy by turning our gaze away from suffering in the meantime?

A beautiful, overcast morning spent trapping at the First Cemetary with Dorotea Mercuri.

Most of these guys are already sterilised and well fed by local carers.

3 cats trapped in total •

One old sick girl needed urgent treatment for two infected puncture wounds.

Two intact female cats including a recent mum and a very pregnant cat were trapped for their spays.

It is vital that kittens are not separated from their mum before she is spayed, as removal means she stops lactating and becomes fertile again, able to become pregnant again just 2 months after their birth. Mum’s kittens were of age to eat solid foods, so they are safe to be without her for 24h.

This was quite a tricky place to trap as there are cleaners hosing down the grave, lots of food available, lots of places to hide, and many people around.

Given all that, the day was quite successful!

22/04/2024

🚨 Content warning: this story is awful, but the message is vital.

On the way to the vet for our daily drop offs/pick ups for , we found a cat in the road.

Laying in the empty space where a car would normally park on the side of a street, we assumed an RTS (road traffic accident).

She was experiencing signs of neurological damage - flailing limbs, non-reactive pupils, highly laboured breathing.

Luckily only a 1 minute drive from the vet, they quickly began investigating.

1) pain relief on board

🚨 The MOST important thing was to address her immediate pain and avoid additional suffering. This is why an opioid-based pain relief was an imperative first step, repeated as needed (as some pain relief drugs don’t last very long).

🚨 Doing ANY exams • without • pain relief would have caused her more pain.

2) temperature taken, checking vitals

3) IV fluids/hydration

4) physical exam

5) x-ray to check for fractures + mild sedation to prevent neurological distress

6) IV antibiotics started. Physical exam showed a severely infected bite wound on hind leg (slide 2) and lumps on stomach underneath skin.

X-ray showed no fractures, RTS causing head trauma less likely.

Continued exam showed severely infected mammary glands, infection eating through skin.

Suspected synopsis : mastitis.

She had given birth.
Her kittens had died.
She couldn’t feed, and she developed mastitis.
The infected bite wound on her leg caused the mastitis to also become infected.
She became septic and neurological.
She died two hours after arrival.

🚨 The message : ALLOWING A PREGNANT CAT TO GIVE BIRTH ON THE STREET IS CRUEL, & potentially much more cruel than any stage pregnant spay.

On the street, we know what their fate will be.
Certain: lifelong suffering; highly likely: imminent death.

Do not neglect pregnant cats. Spay them as soon as you see them. It’s the only way to avoid all this unnecessary pain & suffering.

When you see the countless, unimaginably horrific emergency medical cases & deaths that we have, you too will finally understand.

We don’t do pregnant spays because we like them.

We do them because of our empathy & case management experience.

🐈‍⬛ They are not “just boys.”

It is not okay to leave them intact in the street without basic veterinary care just because they’re male and can’t give birth.

This is what happens to them over the years. They’re all sick, injured, and fearful.

We have done so many eye enucleations for male cats, fixed broken tails, treated abscesses, and they often have extra needs like infections requiring medication.

🐈‍⬛ Black cats are beautiful.

This little family has a sad back story, but with a positive ending.

Over the last two months, we’ve been trapping and sterilising this colony.

They live in an enclosed backyard in a difficult neighborhood.

Their feeder / main carer is someone who has suffered a lot in life, struggles to take care of himself, and thus the conditions the cats live in are less than ideal.

They have free-roam of his enclosed backyard plus his basement. We’ve never been allowed in his basement to trap. It is covered in f***s.

It is dark, damp, and a breeding ground for bacteria. He insists on catching the cats one by one and bringing them out to us.

Between 15 to 20 cats live in this environment. While they’re supposed to be long-haired and fluffy, they’re all missing fur. Several have highly contagious fungus.

Half have eye issues - we’ve done multiple single eye enucleations, and have found one totally blind.

Two recent mums gave birth a few weeks ago. All the kittens died.

Today we managed to take the last remaining intact female to the vet for her spay. She is less than a year old. She was already pregnant again.

Her last litter of three 6-month olds remains.

While we cannot fundamentally change the conditions in which they live in and get them all into homes (they’re all petrified of us), we can provide sterilisation, parasite treatments, eye surgeries, and basic care they need to have a less awful life.

The ones who needed eye surgeries fully recovered with

We are working on an adoption for the blind kitten.

+++

Yet another lesson in why suffering is often an intersectional social issue. Helping this carer help the cats, rather than demonising him, is the only way to support both parties.

We see his emotional state when he brings us the cats. He follows up about their care. He wants them to be okay.

He just doesn’t have the means or capacity to help them in the way they need. He has his own socio-economic issues he’s struggling with. We can help him with that by helping the cats.

These cats won’t have to suffer through reproduction anymore thanks to .

Trapping with Marianna is always such a pleasure. Supporting and working alongside the community where we live is a pillar of our charity’s work. Collaborating with other individuals and groups to compliment each others strengths and maximise our shared capacity is crucial. Making our community feel less alone is vital to the longevity of their work. The animal protection sector (anywhere) often lacks these three things, leading to increased frustration, lack of capacity, burnout and compassion fatigue, and a shortened lifespan of people’s and org’s work in this field. ••• Mariana and neighbors have been caring for their community cats for quite a while. Today’s mission was the trap two prolific breeders - young female cats - one with kittens, and one pregnant. We succeeded (even though a fellow colony cat covered the camera and missed the entire catch) and both female cats went to the vet for their spay and medical care. These two cats add to the rice we trapped together earlier this year, and the many others Marianna and neighbors already sterilised. A sterilised cat population is a healthy one. A collaborative human population is a healthy one. We aim to build bridges across individuals and org’s, and adore working with people like Marianna who do so much for their local community. Marianna is a vital part of Sea Shepherd Greece, a fellow animal protection organisation working in Greece. #TNR #spayandneuter #communityanimals

9 more community cats were spayed/neutered this week from 3 colonies in 2 neighbourhoods. The best kind of TNR is done alongside the feeders and caregivers. When returning to check on our managed colonies, we always meet new feeders with unsterilised cats. One neighbor showed us their backyard full of males and 1 young pregnant female ready to give birth. 2 males and the pregnant female were caught and neutered / given a spay abort. A few blocks over with another neighbor, we managed to trap another pregnant female who was one of the last in her colony. She has eluded many trapping attempts by others called in to help, and thus constantly gave birth to kittens who died. With a lot of patience to give this skittish cat what she needed, we managed to catch her with the trusty Tomahawk drop trap. We also met up with the amazing Marianna Karamanli from Sea Shepherd Greece to catch and sterilise some of her neighbourhood cats. 3 males and 2 females were neutered or spayed and provided parasite treatment. 2 of the males were older adults who had clearly been testosterone menaces for years. The 3 others were young and still healthy. 1 young female of less than 2 years old had pyometra which was undetectable until she went into surgery. Pyometra is an infection of the uterus that is deadly if the reproductive organs are not removed. Her life was quite literally saved by being provided this essential medical care.
