We neuter street cats of Greece to reduce the stray cat population

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This summer with all the travel bans and lock downs due to the corona virus, the cats and kittens who rely so heavily on tourists for food and fundraising will die without help. Nobody is coming and the cats don’t know why. This is not their fault and their lives were already tough enough. The feeders and foster carers of Greece will struggle to feed themselves or the cats. These beautiful cats are the innocent victims of a human crisis.  Please please help, no amount is too small. Greek Cat Welfare Society will match this fundraiser if it hits the £500 target, meaning a whooping £1000 of vital food can be sent straight to where it’s needed. If you love cats and can spare them a thought at this awful time for all of us, please please donate. No amount too small. Thank you x

Greece and the Greek Islands are all inundated with stray, abandoned and feral cats. The majority of them are born in the spring and survive through the kindness of tourists who feed them. At the end of the summer season the tourists leave and then some survive through the kindness of local Greeks, some die of starvation and some unfortunately fall foul of cat hating people who poison them. Despite this, their breeding potential is phenomenal. If an average female produces three litters of four kittens annually and the female kittens go on at the same rate, the result is about 5,000 cats from a single breeding female in four years. For this reason the Greek Cat Welfare Society was formed in 1992. Our aim is to undertake neutering of colonies of stray cats and in doing so educate and encourage local people to also have their animals neutered. Trap, neuter and return (TNR) is now recognised to be the only humane method of decreasing the stray cat population, which over time will work providing TNR is carried out on a regular basis several times a year.
