One of our most important jobs is sterilising the street cats on Thassos.
Since we are just a small group of volunteers it is impossible to do this all alone. Therefor we are very happy that more and more people on the island are helping us. They catch the cats, bring them to the vet, keep them overnight and release them again at the place they were found. If possible they even contribute some money towards the costs.
A good example is Marialina. She told us that a lady in Theologos is feeding street cats but didn’t want to sterilise them. So the number of cats got more and more. Could ACT help? So we arranged that Marialina would catch the cats, we gave her 2 cat boxes and she started catching them. Later we talked again and she told us that she paid the vet herself for a couple of cats and also convinced some neighbours to pay some money as well. This meant that we only had to pay for half of the number of cats that were sterilised. A very good result and a good example of how working together really helps. And also more people learned about our work for the animals on the island.
Marialina is just an example, there are more people who are helping us like this and although we don’t mention all their names, we are each and every one very grateful for that!
