Our little Peter, he is now called Piet, has found a new home

It's amazing what that little guy has been through.
Seven major hurdles he had to take to finally arrive in his new home.

The first hurdle was that Peter actually would fly much earlier to Germany, but he first had to be operated on his front leg, because he was limping.

The second hurdle was the trip from Thassos to the Netherlands, where he soon found a nice family.

The third hurdle was that little Peter was sick, the vet suspected ectopic ureter, and the family could not cope with the high operation costs and his uncertain future. So Peter went back to our Dutch foster family.

The fourth hurdle was that the foster family could not keep Peter very long because at the time there were too many animals in care and Peter needed special attention.

Claudia and Klaus, who had already helped so many animals from Thassos, heard the call of Peter and immediately took care of him, and consulted a specialist vet.

The fifth hurdle was that Peters problem was not the ureter but a non-working left kidney, which was removed. A difficult and very expensive operation.

The sixth hurdle was his healing. But little Peter also overcame this hurdle with ease and was soon completely healthy again at Claudia and Klaus.

The seventh hurdle was to find a new home for Peter.

And!! Peter has found a new home. Piet, so his new family called him, now lives in Wuppertal in Germany with Cornelia and Romana and feels completely happy. He now has a loving family with cats who accept his impetuous character. Here you can read what Claudia wrote about it: http://www.wuestenwolf.de/?p=7833

On July 24, Claudia and Klaus had planned a visit at Piets new home and both were welcomed enthusiastic. Peter was more than fortunate and here you can read more about it: http://www.wuestenwolf.de/?p=7935

Piet is the best example that it is worth to do your utmost to help an animal, whether it comes from Thassos, Germany or the Netherlands. Seven hurdles he has overcome! Perhaps Peter was in his previous life a cat? The number seven represents the perfect, but is also used as a synonym for infinity. But all that is not really important. Peter has had the ability to overcome difficult hurdles and won the battle unharmed, and that's all that counts!

We wish Cornelia and Romana lots of fun with their Piet, we thank Claudia and Klaus for the sacrificial care for Peter and spontaneity to help him immediately. We also thank WereldAsielen Foundation for their generous donation and the animal loving people who have donated to make his operation possible.

Good luck dear Piet!

Donation appeal for little Peter

Peter, whose left kidney was removed, is doing very well. Read more about this in the news of Claudia, where Peter currently stays in order to recover completely : http://www.wuestenwolf.de/?p=7680
The operation was not easy, but the little "Flummi" as Claudia affectionately calls the little scamp, made it.

The operation was also very expensive. The total cost will be about 1,100 euros, and we do not have such money. We ended up in minus financially and desperately need your help so that we can meet the bill. We know this is a lot of money, but little Peter has more than deserved to survive. Every animal deserves this chance, but unfortunately we can not help all the animals.

We would be very grateful if you can help Peter with a donation.

On our website you will find on the right side the link to Donate by Paypal or credit card, but you can also transfer your donation to the bank account of the president, Tanja van Egmond. ACT still has no bank account, since we have only recently been officially registered, and last week the board is elected during the first general meeting.
The account of Tanja van Egmond is: IBAN BIC NL50INGB0003539620 INGBNL2A

Thank you very much in advance. Together we are strong!
