EreSOS in Lesbos got off to a great start with the neutering programme - and then last Monday they were hit by disaster... a landslide of mud and water overtook the sanctuary and destroyed half of it, including vet medicines and food. Anja managed to get all the dogs to safety, but they are now deep in fixing everything for the dogs. The cat neutering and health check programme will continue - in January. This is the last day of my crowdfunding, and I'm nowhere near my target! Please help me to nudge it a little closer if you can! Thank you

Thank you for the latest donations - with your generosity we are getting there! An update today from EreSOS for Animals: "Last Tuesday we took 14 cats for neutering (11 females, 3 males). Next week Tuesday/Wednesday we will catch and bring another around 20 cats." The neutering will reduce the pressure on the cat population, both for food and over mating, and taking them to the vets is a great chance to give them a health check too and any treatment they need. Ultimately, it will be a smaller, healthier (and happier) cat population

Sorry for the upsetting photo. This poor cat like many others we saw had a horrible burst abcess, probably caused by fighting over females. We did get some antibiotics into the food we gave him, but without having it every day, or having the wound cleaned, it's impossible to know if he would have recovered or not. With our neutering programme any cats we trap will get the vet treatment they need as well as the snip.
