Cat Sanctuary Lefkas

Well 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. . . . .

Seems 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. . . . .

Greetings 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 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. . . . .
