Dear friends....My name is Jayne Marsh. I am a veterinary assistant at a surgery in Aigina. Many of your know the story of Bobbie, but for those of you who dont here is a recap......Bobbie and her brother were dumped in a cardboard box outside the surgery cardboard box which stank of TURPENTINE, and had no airholes. Sadly Bobbies brother died the following morning....probably from inhaling the fumes.....remarkably Bobbie triumphed. Getting better every day and stronger. Thanks to a generous lady and her husband here on this site Bobbie now has a permanent home in England. Until November she will stay with me. My point is: is this also the future of so many other kittens......to be put in a smelly box wthout airholes, to be tied in a plastic bag and dumped in someones garden.....just because they have cats, to be put in plastic bags and dumped in the garbage......please God. NO MORE.....Lets try and do something about it.......I fully support the work of SPAZ with this neutuer 100 cats in Aigina and if you can, please support them too. Many thanks. Hello... My name is Sue McDougall and I look after a stray cat colony of neutered cats in my neighbourhood on the island of Aegina. In the past month, 12 kittens have joined this group, dropped there by persons unknown, in various states of health. It’s heartbreaking to see so many new kittens; the mature cats are not always nice to them; they have to fight for their food; some need medical attention; one has a broken femur which cannot be fixed, and it goes on and on. What’s the answer? My answer is to work with SPAZ and find sponsors to neuter 100 stray cats of Aegina, including my 12 kittens. But I could use your help. Please read the following text which describes how the plan works, and join our campaign to control the stray cat population on Aegina. HELP US NEUTER ANOTHER 100 STRAY CATS OF AEGINA The number of stray cats on our island Aegina is increasing despite all the neutering programs that take place; and this will continue until we neuter 55% of the stray cat population. That is why we need the combined efforts of Animal Protection (the local animal welfare group), individuals and SPAZ (Society for the Protection of Stray Animals, Glyfada Athens) to continue collecting and neutering stray cats. SPAZ ran a program in Feb/March 2012 called “Neuter 100 Stray Cats of Aegina”. The program was paid for by sponsors and we worked with local vet Yiannis Basdalvanos and his veterinary nurse Jayne Marsh, and with 12 local people, who regularly feed and look after groups of stray cats, collecting the cats and looking after then until they could be released. The program worked so well, we have decided to do another one. Vet Despina Papachronou will also work with us. If you can offer some support to this program, it will mean less kittens dropped at the houses of people who look after strays, and at the door of our local vets. It will mean less kittens abandoned in the forest or dropped into garbage bins or into the sea in plastic bags. It will mean less sick kittens with eye infections, less starving kittens, less kittens period. And it will help stray cat populations become more stable in number and less prone to poisoning. The stray cats of Aegina need your help and we need your help to help them. Any amount you can donate, from 10Euros up will assist us in reaching our goal. You can deposit your donation directly into one of SPAZ’s accounts below. SPAZ will issue you a receipt. You can also go to SPAZ’s website at spazgreece.gr and donate into our Paypal account, or if you live in Aegina you can give cash to the SPAZ representative Sue McDougall and she will get a SPAZ receipt for you. When you donate, mention “Neuter 100 Stray Cats of Aegina. Please join us in giving the stray cats of Aegina a better life by reducing their numbers. Thank you for supporting this program.
