We were touched to receive a donation earlier this year from the family and clients of the late Rob Baker. It was an amazing sum of $3400 and we intend to put it to good use, helping the street cats of Syros, just as Rob wished. Rob Baker was a talented artist and sculptor who […]

We found Dennis in November 2024. A lucky kitten, or so we thought. Late kittens can die from lack of food and the cold, their mother’s exhausted, as it is their third litter of the year, and often die too. But Dennis was at the right place, close to a feeding station in our village […]
