Story
Agios Stefanos - or San Stefanos as it is often called - is a beautiful village situated in the North West area of Corfu. A fishing village, Agios Stefanos is also well known as a popular holiday destination and welcomes holidaymakers year after year during the summer months.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, this brings with it an animal community ranging from sheep to goats and not forgetting cats and dogs - many of which are the much loved pets owned by local inhabitants.
Of course there have always been a number of stray cats and dogs around and many have been fed and at times assisted by people living locally.
Over the last year a number of stray cats have 'moved themselves in' just behind the gates of a disused hotel and have caught the attention of summertime visitors to our village. Many of these visitors - although on holiday - could not resist the urge to help feed them and the cats certainly have enjoyed the attention.
Over time this cat community has increased as more kittens were born and the count to date is 17 and 4 kittens.. We know of course that female cats can produce several litters of kittens per year and in order to keep this under control, sterilization is important.
The aim is to raise funding for these cats to assist with both the Sterilization of the females and the continued feeding of these sweethearts over the winter months and beyond. I have negotiated a reduced cost per sterilization which is now 50 euros ( approx 46 GBP) per female cat.
It would also be wonderful of course to find these kitties their very own family, so if you are tempted - or if you know someone who would love to give one of these cats a home, then drop an email to : sanstefcats@yahoo.com
Thank you for taking an interest in our Stray Cat Support project and thank you especially for your continued support .

4 years agoThis fundraising page for the San Stefanos Strays will close at midnight tonight. The page was set up in 2017 to help support the Stray Cats living on the streets of San Stefanos NW Corfu. It has been a source of funding due to your generosity to help feed, sterilise and support a great number of cats in many ways. A new fundraising campaign has begun as the task is far from over and details of this can be found via our Facebook Group Page or by making contact by message or email. Thank you all for such wonderful support - appreciated always 🐈

4 years agoAnother girl who is sometimes seen down at the harbour enjoying her food. As she isn't always there, she clearly.goes on walkabout but food is left anyway and is always gone. Another one for sterilisation I hope 😉

4 years agoAnother two kittens at the main stray cat hangout who've also had eye issues. This has been treated and their eyes are much better now. They've been on solid food for a little while now but they love their mummy so much that they still snuggle up with her for some comfort. They love to play together and play hide and seek with me behind the fence 🙂
