Nea Makri Cat Rescue

Some organisations around the country try to do something but, until now, no help has been available in our town, Nea Makri. Chris and Silvia came to live here in late 2009 and very soon found cats in need of help. There’s a limit to what we can do ourselves so we’ve set up this page with two main aims. Most importantly we’re trying to find homes for abandoned cats. Too often, people who no longer

want their cats and/or kittens leave them at a taverna, presumably thinking they will get some food, or outside a vet’s surgery, or elsewhere, sometimes even in rubbish bins. Often we can only feed them where they’ve been abandoned, making sure they have suitable shelter. Longer term we’re trying to find homes for them. Some just need some safe space outside, others would have better lives with more human interaction. Until we can find them homes we often need somewhere safe, away from roads, where we can look after the cats ourselves. The second aim of this page is to hopefully raise some funds to help feed the abandoned cats, to get them inoculated, treated for any illnesses, and later sterilised. Currently we pay these costs ourselves. There’s a much better chance that they will find homes if their new owners don’t have to themselves find the money. Anyone wishing to contribute can send funds via Paypal quoting [email protected]. Every month we will publish the total sum raised, the names of donors (unless they prefer to remain anonymous), and details of our expenses. We hope you will like what we’re trying to do and that you will spread the word as widely as possible.
