Helen’s story
Hello Everyone
As many of you will know who visit Greece the stray cat and dog population is problematic Whilst here at Healing Paws we do our very best to help the strays in Zakynthos, it is systematically impossible to help them all. We just do not have the facilities or resources being a small rescue. Please rest assured though, if there is a cat or dog suffering we will always step in, as we will not see any animal suffer.
The summer tourist season in Zakynthos has now come to an end and this means the many thousands of poor stray cats will now start to starve. They have been well fed by caring and generous tourists over the last few months but now their main food source has gone.
Whilst cats is the main problem on the streets there are of course stray dogs too, albeit not so problematic as the cats.
There are good people all around the island that coordinate daily visits to where strays are reported to leave food and water. There is feeding groups in all the main resorts so please rest assured everyone is doing their upmost.
Food of course costs money and whilst we at Healing Paws are happy to provide food for the stray cats and dogs to the volunteers in and around Alykanas/Alykes. We do need a little help to do so. Unfortunately nothing in life is free.
If you could spare a few pounds to help us to help the strays survive the winter you would literally be helping us to save their lives.
You can donate via this fundraiser which goes directly to the UK charity bank account and takes NO fees, If you are a UK tax payer remember to tick the gift aid box.
