Welcome to ACT!


ACT! Animal Care Thassos is the name of the new charity for animals on Thassos.
In order to register the charity officially we went to a lawyer to find out what was needed. We were shocked to hear that the lawyer and paperwork together would cost € 1,300! We couldn't pay such a large amount ourselves, so we asked family and friends on the island and abroad to help us.
Within 2 weeks the news has spread around and we have received the necessary amount of money, something we didn't expect to happen so soon. We are very grateful for that!
In the meantime we have been in contact with another lawyer, this time in Kavala, who offered us a much better price. This means that we will have some money left to use immediately for the animals instead of for paperwork. We are thinking of setting up a sterilization program. But of course we will keep you informed about that through this News page!
It also came clear that from starting the procedure it will take at least 3 months before the charity would be official and registered.
Of course we didn't want to wait that long before people could hear about us, so we decided to publish our website straight away.
So please share our website amongst your friends, on Facebook, Twitter or wherever. And if you think you can help us, don't hesitate to contact us!
