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.
