We continue our popular God Parent feature....

We will feature the story of a rescue cat from our shelter each day until Christmas Day.

Today we feature another of our younger residents who arrived in the summer of 2019 as a very young orphan kitten, skinny and in need of help. Today she has grown up into a very active, happy and attractive lady who always looks like she is smiling!!

She is Sterilised and microchipped and we are sure that she will find a loving home in 2021. Until then, she needs all our support.

To become a God Parent for this sweet girl, choose her name, support her care, medication and food, you can offer a monthly donation of 20e via PayPal (we cannot offer other forms of payment at this time). Donations apply until the happy day that she is hopefully adopted.

Would you like to be her God Parent...let us know!

Story time! First picture after and second picture before !
So on my previous trip to my more recent one a box was put over our fence in the night. Morning came around and it was nearing 40 degrees Celsius . One kitten was in this box, and was found by one of the volunteers, very dehydrated and covered and fleas was little Leo. The next day 4 more kittens were recovered roaming the grounds. I took in 2 ( Lila and Lola) and the 3 brothers Leo, lucipurr and link were in the shelter . Sadly Lola passed away and I had 4 other foster kittens including Lila that I was to bring to the Netherlands, I had to leave the 3 brothers in the loving hands of the shelter.
Lila continued to blossom and I could only hope the 3 brothers would do the same . On my arrival this trip I immediately looked for them, and there he was little Leo the last survivor of the 5 besides his sister whom I had in NL. I was saddened that he was the only one to make it but happy and relieved he had , so I immediately looked for a home for him so I could take him back to NL to be reunited with his sister before headed to a forever home.
And here we are ! Little Leo ! A true fighter against all odds! I’m so happy to have him here . It doesn’t go without its problems as he has an URI , which is being treated but luckily his forever home is prepared for the continuation of his treatment and cannot wait to have him in their home 🥰🥰.
We cannot always save them all but we do our best , and little Leo is a survivor and he deserves the house cat life that has only just begun ! 🐾❤️💕

Warning ⚠️ infected eyes !

Meet Snuggles , he has horrible eye problems and is currently getting treatment at and we hope he will make a full recovery , he most likely will lose at least one of his eyes and be either partially or fully blind.

Sweet little Kára is now in her forever home today . I miss her already. These past couple months raising her and her siblings has been so rewarding. She will always be in my heart. I look forward to my visit to her new home for check up and cannot wait to share her progress with you all. Enjoy your happy forever home little one !

This is what the other side of de-clawing a cat looks like... You literally cut the tips of their toes off. They will never walk correctly. They will inevitably get arthritis as a result.
It hurts.

They don't understand what happened to them. If you don't like claws: don't own a cat. The vet should try and talk everyone out of it and only does it because otherwise the cat will lose their home...

This is CRUEL and INHUMANE! We at SIS do not support declawing.

My sweet Lila. Getting so big and strong. I cannot believe it was just a month ago I was feeding you with a syringe and fighting to keep you alive . Now you run around and play and jump and make lots of messes for me to clean up. Just another month and a half and you will be in your forever home . I’ll miss you so much but for now I treasure our time !

Tinsil is such a love. Heard of a lap cat? Well she’s a shoulder cat 😜!
Tinsil is for many reasons, but one main reason is that this sweet girl has been in the shelter for over a year and is still looking for her forever home. 🐾

Miss Dilly . Today I chose her as because she deserves it. She’s one of the most beautiful kitties I know and a great kitty model at that! Dilly came to the shelter with severe cat flu and ear problems but now she’s enjoying a happy kitty life! •

Lila my girl, she’s such a wonderful kitty, it’ll be so hard to let her go but I’m honored and happy she has a home lined up in Berlin. This little girl has been through so much. When I first got her she was a tiny little boney girl with her sister Lola, I had to syringe feed her and she had an infection and swollen neck and face. After a dose of antibiotics and lots of love she started doing better and better, now she’s still my little squeaker and loves to suckle on my finger. It was a task for sure to get her to the Netherlands but I’m so happy it worked out.

Loki and Nanna are so incredibly adorable, last night was rough. But always seeing moments like these makes fostering the most rewarding thing in the world . After their sister Kara had to be rushed to the vet hospital , the rest had to wait more than half an hour for their feeding , I came back and they all just were snuggled up waiting patiently like they understood that I had an emergency with their sister . They all perked up when they heard my voice asking who’s hungry ... and the snuggles were even more intense than usual. I love these guys so much.

Lila is amazing really, she fought so hard after being dumped in a box with her sister and her 4 brothers. Covered in fleas and skinny as a string bean. I took Lila and her sister Lola into my care immediately. Sadly Lola (third picture) wasn’t able to make it and crossed over the rainbow bridge on August 1st. It broke my heart in a million pieces but I was even more determined to save her sister after her loss.

I don’t always have time to pull out my camera when working at the shelter but when I do I make sure to capture the best moments .
Bo**er is an amazing cat, a wonderful bengal cat that arrived at the shelter after being dumped by his previous owners on the island . Bo**er loves taking morning and evening walks , but doesn’t like other cats bat much. He’s a sweet heart and we hope to find him a good home one day with a large enclosed yard so he can play and enjoy his bengal kitty life !

Little Kára, of the Viking babies .
Fostering these guys has been incredibly rewarding. They all do so well and are full of life and spirit. I’m it’s so funny because her and Nanna both are little feisty bottle drinkers, I always end up with milk everywhere 😅😂.
If you would like to adopt kára or any of her siblings , please dm me . Kára will be ready for adoption as soon as she’s old enough 💕

The struggle of not being able to be in Samos helping at Greek Cat Rescue Samos is so incredibly difficult. Looking at the way Covid 19 has effected the world In so many ways including a massive oncoming global recession is heart breaking. Not only are we experiencing it inplaces like the Netherlands with slight inflation and small owned business having major losses, the situation for countries like Greece is 10 fold, with an economy that relies majorly on tourism contributing to a 25% GDP, you can hardly fathom the impact it is having and will have . Before I hear about other countries I know that many other people and countries are suffering I’m just expressing my standpoint for a country I have been to and an island that hugely relies on its tourist .

That being said here’s my point . The work that is done there to help the street Cats is crucial, I know without ever being there you could never imagine what I have seen but it is like a cat apocalypse even when the island is thriving, these animals suffer so much and right now need even more help , so that money you set aside for your Vacation, even a euro out of it would mean the world to these cats , we are not going anywhere anytime soon, and I’m not able to travel there to give a much needed hand at this moment , so I’m asking everyone to please consider a small donation in this time of need .

All the street cat sterilization projects have had to be put on hold and the shelter is doing their best to be able to help the street cat population numbers go down , but we really cannot do this without your help. These cats need food, medical attention and the people working their butts off over there cannot do it alone but are forced to during this time .

Donate to the fundraiser Or feel free to donate to [email protected] via Paypal

Our number one priority has always been the sterilisation of the stray cat population. In 2020 we have been forced to cancel two big Spring projects due to the covid-19 lockdown. We want to raise funds to sterilise 100 stray cats with the Samos vet.
