Welcome to the website of the Agni Animal Welfare Fund, we will from time to time update this page with the latest news of what is happening with the animals you have helped and how we have used your donations. We will also add to this page any emergency appeals and animals that need urgent help. If you would like to know more about who we are and what we are trying to achieve, please read the 'about us' and page. Little Cat's story tells how and why we decided to try and help the street animals, mainly the cats, of Corfu. We also support the Corfu Donkey Rescue (CDR) and we have a page of information about the donkeys. Enjoy our website and we hope that you can find a way in which to support us.

News Update – March 2013

We do not have much news to report at this time of year other than to say that our work continues with the cats in Corfu. We shall be a little late returning to Corfu this Spring as a family commitment (and Greek Lessons!!) mean we cannot return quite so early. However our friends and colleagues continue to help and care for the cats on the streets with food, medication and any care they need. I would like to thank those people for their help in keeping things running during the winter months whilst we cannot be there ourselves. 

Thank you everyone who donated to our appeal for food to keep the animals fed during the winter. This year we have had an excellent response with many donations for the purchase of food and many sponsors for neutering etc. we have been able to keep the animals fed and we can continue to neuter on our return.  I would like to make a special mention to everyone who is selling on eBay on our behalf, we are receiving regular donations through eBay for charities. It is an excellent way of contributing to us, so if you sell on eBay then please think of us and nominate us as your chosen charity.

A really big thank you to all of you mentioned above for the work and help you have given us.


Tilly

Remember Tilly, the pretty little girl that Jess raised money for with her Fitbug walk. Tilly turned up at the Monica Hotel in Sidari during the summer, she was later sterilised with the donations from Jess's walk.  At the end of the season a very nice couple living in the south of the island offered a permanent home to Tilly, she went to her new home at the end of October. If anyone can raise money for us with a walk or some kind of sponsorship we would appreciate it very much. Many thanks to Jess for her support and helping Tilly.

In our last update we told about the three little kittens, pictured here who had been hand reared in Corfu after the Mother was killed on the road in Kalami. I cannot thank the lady who fed these kittens for us enough for what she did for them. It was hard work and much time and dedication was needed to hand feed the kittens, something which many people living and working on Corfu would not have the time for.

The three little guys arrived in the UK at the end of November and they have now been re-homed. The last one, Zeus, was collected and taken to his new home on Christmas Eve. The other two having been re-homed only a few days before. I do not have up-to-date photographs of them unfortunately, but I have bee informed that they have gone to very good homes, they were all vet checked by AAWF's very good friend Claire,  who is a vet herself, and found healthy and continue to visit the vets for their vaccinations etc. - so after much worry and concern for the future of these three little guys, we had a very happy ending. A special thanks to Claire for her help with these lovely guys.

Temporary Homes Needed
We still require people to help us with cats and kittens so please do contact us if you can take in a cat or kitten, even on a temporary basis as often we can get some of them to the UK for re-homing. If anyone can help us with this we would like to hear from you. Taking the animals to the UK is much quicker and easier now that the quarantine laws have been changed but we often need someone to care for them for a few weeks whilst we arrange their transport.

Anyone living in Corfu, if you can take on a kitten as an outdoor cat and ensure that they get food and have shelter and some protection from the bad weather in the wintertime we will sterilise any cat that is taken on and pay for any medication. Please email info@agni-animal-welfare-fund.com if you can help.

Here is the link to our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Agni-Animal-Welfare-Fund/123972760998039

I hope to meet up with some of our supporters this Spring and Summer, so do let us know when you are going to be in Corfu and where you are staying.
Happy Corfu Holidays
