Response to the letter for Kalithea cats

Dear Ms McCann,

We are very sorry hearing from you that people have informed you wrongly about the cats and the future of them in Rhodes.Of course, it's not possible for us to take care of all the animals in Rhodes island because we are a very small organisation based on volunteers withoun financial help from the government or others.This year we have arleady collected 70 cats and have built a small shelter form them in Kalithea.Of course, these cats have to be sterilised,fed and have medical care.There is not any organised poisoning of animals but unfortunately some of them die due to physical issues.We appreciate your interest and if you are willing to help you can donate at the following.

We attach some photos of the cat shelter in Kalithea.

Pefkos Cats

Dear sir or madam,

I have recently returned from holiday in Pefkos and am deeply concerned over the welfare of a wild colony of young cats who lived within the grounds of the Finas Hotel Apartments. They were beautiful creatures, many extremely young, however we heard while we were in the hotel that the locals plan to kill them every year by poisoning once the tourists have left. I am so angry that human beings would treat these wonderful sentient beings so horrifically, especially when such a tourist trade is made out of using the images of such cats to sell calendars and other holiday souvenirs. I am sure that you will agree how sickening and duplicitous such goings-on are!

I have two beautiful cats of my own back here in England who live the life of luxury and I felt so deeply saddened by the potential fate of these beautiful Greek cats that I wished, and still wish that I could have brought them all back with me to safety.

Please could you advise me as to whether there is anything that can be done to save these beautiful creatures? I enclose pictures of some of the cats and can give you likely locations for where they usually live.

I very much look forward to hearing back from you. I don't think that an hour has passed when the issue of these cats' welfare hasn't troubled me since my return.

Yours faithfully,

C.C.
