Πόσο σημαντικό είναι να μην αδιαφορούμε αλλά να ζητάμε βοήθεια όταν ένα πλάσμα την έχει ανάγκη.
Η συγκεκριμένη γατούλα τριγυρνούσε για περίπου 3 χρόνια στους δρόμους της Αμοργού (Αιγιάλη) με την πληγή που βλέπετε στην πρώτη φωτογραφία και κανένας δεν μπήκε στον κόπο να μας κάνει έστω ένα τηλέφωνο. Είναι γνωστό ότι δεν ζητάμε ποτέ χρήματα για τα ζώα που έρχονται στη φιλοζωϊκή και αναλαμβάνουμε εμείς τη θεραπεία, κτηνίατρους, νοσηλεία κτλ για οποιοδήποτε αδέσποτο ζώο της Αμοργού έχει άναγκη. Και όχι δεν έχουμε μηχάνημα που βγάζει χρήματα ούτε πλούσιους χορηγούς. Σε δωρεές ευαισθητοποιημένων ανθρώπων στηριζόμαστε και χρωστάμε μόνιμα στους κτηνίατρους.
Αυτό το ζώο σίγουρα πολλοί θα το έδιωχναν καθώς θα το θεωρούσαν άρρωστο και πηγή μικροβιών. Μετά από 3 χρόνια ταλαιπωρίας και πόνου βρέθηκε τελικά μία κοπέλα που ζήτησε βοήθεια..Μας είπε η γάτα είναι φοβική και δεν μπορώ να την πιάσω αλλά χρήζει βοήθειας. Κατανοήτο..Πήγαμε με μία παγίδα και σε ελάχιστό χρόνο η γάτα είχε πιαστεί. Τόσο απλά. Η γάτα, η οποία είναι πολύ μεγάλη σε ηλικία, ήρθε στο κτηνιατρείο της Animal Zone International όπου στειρώθηκε και της περιποιηθήκαμε το τραύμα. Παρέμεινε για νοσηλεία ώστε να λάβει αντιβιοτικά και να μπορούμε να καθαρίζουμε την πληγή και ούτε 2 βδομάδες μετά η πληγή είναι παρελθόν. Με κάποιες πλύσεις, μία αντιβίωση και αποπαρασίτωση το ζώο αυτό δεν θα ταλαιπωρείται, δεν θα πονάει και δεν θα τριγυρνάει στους δρόμους προκαλώντας αποτροποιασμό. Κοινώς άλλαξε η ζωή της γιατί ένας άνθρωπος δεν προσπέρασε όπως έκαναν όλοι οι υπόλοιποι. Ας γίνουμε λοιπόν λίγο παραπάνω σαν αυτόν τον ένα άνθρωπο και ας ξεχωρίζουμε από τους υπόλοιπους. Ας μην προσπερνάμε, είτε πρόκειται για ζώο είτε πρόκειται για άνθρωπο, όλα ζωή έχουν και όλα νιώθουν.

Global animal protection is a critical issue that many fight for and face daily. World Animal Day helps bring people together to increase awareness and improve education worldwide so animals can live the lives they deserve.
World Animal Day is celebrated yearly on October 4th to align with the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology and animals.
Animals can’t talk in the conventional way that humans communicate with each other. But there’s one day where we can all give a voice to the animals who can’t speak for themselves.
Happy World Animal Day

Vroutsi has its own cat feeder!

One more village of Amorgos has its own feeder for the stray cats. The Municipality of Amorgos and Animal Zone International have placed one more cat feeder at Vroutsi. The feeder was placed on spot where a big colony of stray cats already existed and were being fed with leftovers by the locals. The purpose of placing the feeder is the existence of constantly available proper food for the stray cats as well as the maintenance of cleanliness since the food will not be put on the ground but in the feeder.
It is estimated that this will limit the prevalence of animals that are malnourished, cachectic, and therefore, more vulnerable to disease. It will also reduce the need for stray cats to forage from other sources (such as garbage bins or restaurants), which in turn creates other problems. Finally, with the intensive program of sterilization for the stray cats that are fed in those specific areas, it is sought not to increase their number further.
We ask residents who feed stray cats where there are feeders to put the food (dry food) in the feeder and not on the ground. We hope everyone is pleased (including the cats) with this smart improvement!

Two more wonderful volunteers joined our team this summer.

Sarah Kate, a young veterinary student who came from Tampa, Florida (USA) and stayed for two weeks and Tabitha, who is also a veterinary student came from London (United Kingdom) and stayed the whole July.

Τhe girl's help was valuable to us as well as to our veterinarian. Our sterilization program was continuing throughout the summer so our vet had help on the surgeries but also the girls learned valuable things that they will need in their careers. Both girls were always willing to help and we are grateful for our very special time with them and wish them a long and fruitful career.
Thank you Sarah and Tabitha!

We are waiting for you after your graduation for a sterilization program at the new clinic!

Good morning people ☺️. I am one of the three kittens from Aegiali for whom they were looking transportation to our Center in Katapola yesterday. My siblings remained back as a lady is willing to take care of them but I am very sick so I came to AZI's Center for more intensive care!

Morning cuddles at the Center 🥰

Good morning 🌞 from AZI's Center in Amorgos..Playtime for the kittens.. Achilleas makes friends 💕

Not one, not two, not three but 5 small kittens were abandoned inside a plastic bag in a remote area of Aegiali. A tourist during her hike from Tholaria to Langada, following the traditional path, heard their cries and asked for help. The poor babies were fortunate in their misfortune. The kittens were skin and bones, they were starving and they were full of fleas (see related video in the comments). To point out that AZI and the Municipality of Amorgos carry out 2 mass sterilization programs per year. Comments are yours...

The Municipality of Amorgos, in collaboration with Animal Zone International, held a 14-day sterilization program for stray cats. A total of 164 stray cats (80 females and 84 males) from most of the villages of Amorgos were sterilized. In addition, all animals received vaccines against panleukopenia, calicivirus, feline herpesvirus, and rabies as well as anti-parasitic treatment. Additionally they were tagged electronically (microchipped). We have many people to thank for another successful program. First and foremost, would be to our amazing veterinarian Dr. Andrianna Alexandropoulou for her unwavering support and assistance. She worked intensely and tirelessly to meet the needs of our community. Next, we sincerely thank the shipping company BLUE STAR FERRIES which is always helpful to the needs of our island and offered free transfer on the distinguished seat to our vet. Also, we offer sincere thanks to the Municipality of Amorgos for the continuous support and perfect cooperation, and our Chariklia Psaki who worked eagerly as a veterinarian assistant. We wish to thank our amazing volunteers Giorgos, Evangelia, Angeliki, Lamia, Mary, Anna, and Stamatis, who “plowed the island” and went up and down many stairs in order to collect and release cats as well as to assist in the clinic, and of course all the inhabitants of the island who helped each in their own way. Our spay and neuter programs are vitally important for both the cats and the islanders. Without this effort, the cat population will explode to unsustainable levels. Cats reach breeding age very quickly—at just 5 or 6 months they can have two or three litters a year. When there is an explosion in the cat population, it is difficult to feed and care for them all and they soon become parasitic and diseased, suffering from malnutrition and common infections thus increasing discontent in the community. When the cat population is under control, we can provide them with appropriate food and anti-para

Our Story

Animal Zone International (AZI) was founded in 2007 after we witnessed the desperate situation of so many of the animals both wild and domestic on the beautiful island of Amorgos.

At that time, the feline population had proliferated and cats and kittens were desperate for food. Mules and donkeys were often abandoned once they could no longer work the fields and dogs were kept in the worst of conditions.

There was no veterinarian on the island and unfortunately the local population dealt with the situation by poisoning the cats and ignoring the dire conditions of many of the others.
