Cat sterilisations

We are very glad with the news that the municipality is providing a serious budget for neutering stray cats.

And on top of that we received a very generous donation from Mrs. Beels from the Netherlands especially for castrations of cats. We are very grateful for her help over and over again.

Thassos really has a large number of cats and the only way to control the population is castration.

And NOT as some people seem to think by poisoning them! 

This (and all animal abuse) is forbidden by law with large fines or even prison. 

Recently there were cases of poisoning in Theologos and Potos and it was good that these were reported to the police. And don’t think the police won’t do anything with this. This is not true. The problem is that nobody reports it to the police. The more people report to the police the clearer the situation will be and this way it is more likely that the perpetrator can be caught.

So please in case of a poisoning contact the police and if possible take pictures of the situation and (if there is) of the poison.

The best way to work on this problem is TOGETHER.
