We receive a number of requests every month by concerned visitors to Syros about the plight of cats they encounter. Whilst we do care very deeply about the welfare of all cats and other animals on Syros we are limited in the help and support we can provide. In addition it is also possible that […]

In our small village of Kini, we have no fewer than eight feeding stations for the strays of the area. Our volunteers visit each one every day to provide food and fresh water for the cats who feed there, and also monitor their general health and keep a look out for any newcomers for on-going […]

TNR isn’t just about sterilisation. We also look at each cat’s general health and where needed, we give or arrange further medical treatment before they are released. Such treatment might be care of wounds, dental work or parasite treatment. The condition of one cat we came across recently was quite heartbreaking, driving home the harsh […]

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 […]

Sadly we lost another two of our resident cats in February this year, Skoupy and Dennis. Though with us only a relatively short time,  they both left indelible paw prints on the hearts of all who met them. And we miss them. Skoupy came into our lives in December 2022 and has been one of […]
