Greece faces many problems today; the plight of animals being just one. Whilst there are formal animal welfare bodies these are frequently overwhelmed by the demand and unable to respond to new requests for help. There is a significant number of informal work being done for animals in need by ordinary people. I am one of these....
For the last few years I have been helping animals in need by fostering and permanently homing, feeding and arranging vet care for primarily dogs and cats. In the last 2 years my focus has been cats and recently the demand on me and my limited resources has become acute and overwhelming.
Just a couple of days ago I had a litter of kittens left at my home anonymously presumably because someone knew I would take care of them. I already have another litter of homeless kittens that I am helping in addition to numerous cats that come to my home and garden for ongoing support. To the best of my ability I feed, worm, neuter and get other veterinary treatment when it's needed, however I and my limited resources are stretched beyond what I can manage.
Any donation no matter how small would be welcomed and will help with continuing to get what the animals need including the ideal; placement into loving forever homes.

Midsummer madness
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 06:48 amWell all of a sudden it's July. The heat here in the Ionian has been cranked up for a few weeks now and we're all feeling it. Predictably, the summer kitten situation now has me sharing the inside of my home with 11 kittens from various sources. Gratefully they are. . . . .
The perils of Spring....
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 08:37 pmSeems like it was only yesterday 2019 got started and here we now are fast rocketing towards the middle of the year. European spring in Greece is now in full swing and kitten season has had an early start. A couple of weeks back and right in the midst of. . . . .
Hope springs early in the new year....
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 10:42 pmAfter years of not having success homing needy cats and accumulating them instead I'm so excited that the first completed adoption of 2019 has happened. The little one whose rescuer called him Michael Jackson (because it doesn't matter if you're black or white and he was a bit of both!). . . . .
Cooking with gas!
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 07:47 amIt's been super busy with new arrivals and some departures, feeding, sterilising. nursing and cuddling even more than usualWinter as always brings in more new faces and this year there are a lot of kittens that have come for shelter, food and safety from the elements and other dangers. Several. . . . .
September 2018 - What a month!
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 05:52 pmJust got through a whirlwind of a month; highs and lows, hellos and goodbyes.The Gang Last month I reported that Chryssoula the lovely older grey cat who's been here for years went missing; sadly she hasn't appeared. I can only assume she has died as it is not at all. . . . .
Stocktake and the next steps....
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 10:55 amWell nearly 2 weeks ago I arrived back from a 2 month visit back to my family in Australia. While I was gone,my brother, who arrived a couple of days before I left, took over cat care at our little sanctuary and made sure the gang didn't go hungry or. . . . .
Into the swing of spring....
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 08:10 amGreetings from my little cat sanctuary!Thankfully the difficult conditions of winter are behind us now although there is still likely to be some rain before summer sets in properly. We have had soooo much rain this winter and this has not helped those felines unfortunate enough to pick up cat. . . . .
The promise of spring
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 07:46 amThe planet is certainly in a state of weather confusion; the blossoms have been on the trees here in Greece for weeks already and it's still officially been mid winter. On the whole, winter on Lefkada has been relatively mild although we have had enough rain to fill the dams. . . . .
Plodding on with an expanded crew
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 10:16 amIt's been hard to know where to start in giving an update.... So much has happened since I got back from Australia over 3 months ago. The end of the European summer brings its own set of challenges for animals as the litters of kittens and puppies born as the. . . . .
It takes a village....
Update posted by Evie Soldatos at 08:12 amA long overdue update to let folks know that cat central is still plugging away! Armed with a new computer I am back in action with working tools to keep in touch after having had a trip back to Australia to visit family and get out of the stifling Greek. . . . .

Have followed Evie since we reached out to her re a critically injured cat I found by the roadside while we were holidaying in Lefkada. Whilst sadly there was nothing that could be done for this cat, I have been in awe of Evie's tireless efforts since.
