Yoshi

Do you remember Yoshi?
http://act-thassos.blogspot.gr/2014/08/yoshi.html
Yoshi who was found in August in Potos and had a tumor on his left back leg…

In September the tumor on Yoshi's leg was removed and sent for biopsy.
Unfortunately the results are not too good. It was a grade 2 mast cell tumor.

A kind of cancer that can't be cured and will finally lead to his death.

ACT has decided not to torment him with chemo, but to let him enjoy life as long as it lasts. Since he was already staying with Joop and Tanja after his surgery, they offered that Yoshi can stay with them for the rest of his life instead of in the enclosure, so he can walk around in the garden and have the company of their dogs and cats until the cancer wins and he has to enter the rainbow bridge.

But let's hope that Yoshi can stay with his new family for many happy years.

Collection boxes

After we finally received our registration papers we ordered collection boxes. Why not earlier I can hear you say? Because we did not have to pay the VAT as an official charity and it saved money yet again.
It still took some effort to figure out how we could keep the postage costs as low as possible, but eventually early July 25 blue collection boxes with a nice (for free!) designed label arrived.
The season had of course already begun, so the boxes were spread as soon as possible in shops, taverns and hotels.
We hoped at least to be able to retrieve the purchase costs of € 266 but to our big surprise it turned out that we had a total of € 474,37!
