03-Sep-07 - Theo of the Pirofani Restaurant in Kamini has very kindly (heroically considering how difficult a job to organise it is) sponsored the travel and accommodation for a vet to come to the island for the purpose of neutering and spading as many of the stray cats on the island as can be caught. VOLUNTEERS TO CATCH THE CATS ARE URGENTLY ASKED TO COME FORWARD between the 19th - 23rd September. Those who have pledged cash for the purchase of medicine are asked to contact Theo now.

If you can help, please phone Theo on +(30) 6976 420 965. Theo has boxes to catch the cats in for you to use. Felicity has volunteered her house in Kamini as the centre of operations and many people such as Myrto have helped with fund-raising to cover the cost of the medicine needed for the operations. Both male and female cats will be treated.

Volunteers are asked for their time not their money. Theo needs to have as many cats as possible caught and delivered to Felicity's house. Then the volunteer is asked to return the cats they have brought in, to the place where they caught them.

Please avoid catching cats that have had the corner of one ear clipped as this is the internationally recognised sign to indicate that the cat has already been neutered or spade.

Ideally the cats should start to be brought in the night before so the vet has enough operations lined up at the start of the day. It is important that the animals have not eaten for 24 hours prior to the operation.
