Billy-Boy
In the 18 months
since we found him, Billy-Boy has
transformed from a scrawny, sneezy,
terrified cat into a gorgeous,
plump, healthy moggie who likes
nothing better than to have his
back scratched and do joyful rolls
on the ground. All he asks for now
is a loving family to call his
own. Could it be you? email

Callie
Sweet, nervous
Callie was abandoned as a kitten
with her two siblings in an Athens
park. They all, miraculously,
survived to adulthood, probably
because they were very agile and
alert, but sadly it was not
enough, in the end, to save them
from the stray dogs. The only
survivor, Callie is now slowly
adjusting to a foster home. She
loved her feeders to rub her back
and would twist between their
legs, but with strangers she is
very shy. Ideally, she would love
a home with someone who has plenty
of experience of cats. email

Cally

Cally was rescued at 7-8 weeks old
from the engine of a car. I
took her home where she
immediately made herself at home.
She used the litter box from day
one, she stayed by my side all
day. She is extremely
affectionate and will sleep by
someone’s side.
Unfortunately she has tested
positive for FIV. I have three
other cats that are not vaccinated
for this virus and I did not want
to put them at risk, so she has
been living at a vet’s office in
Voula for six months. I visit her
almost every day. She is
allowed to be out when I come and
is extremely friendly to everyone
there. She deserves a loving home
by herself, to live inside.
She can cohabitate with a small
dog, she sees them at the vet and
is pretty good with them.

One of
our biggest challenges
is to find responsible,
loving homes for the
stray cats we feed. We
are constantly
struggling to find homes
where they can enjoy the
love, attention, warmth
and companionship they
crave, and – even more
importantly – where they
will be safe from the
stray dogs, speeding
cars and poison that
spell tragedy for
homeless cats. Although
we have been lucky in
rehoming many of the
abandoned kittens we
found this year, it is
extremely difficult to
find homes for the older
cats. This is very
sad
because, although these
cats live outside, they
are by no means wild and
most would adapt very
easily to a new home. We
cherish them all and
provide them with as
much attention and
protection as we can,
but dream of finding
them all the loving
homes they deserve.
Here are
just a few who are still
patiently waiting for
someone to fall in love
with them.

Noulis
This handsome
black-and-white
boy is Noulis. He
was abandoned in
an Athens park two
years ago as an
adult cat. At
first, he used to
follow every
passer-by,
miaowing to be
taken home. After
a while he
adjusted to living
rough, but still
followed his
feeders and was
more interested in
being hugged than
in food. Because
he is so friendly
and
human-oriented,
but also because,
as a large,
slow-moving cat,
he was at great
risk from the
stray dogs, we
took him into a
foster home.

He quickly adapted
to being indoors
again, loving the
cuddles and
enjoying having
his long hair
brushed. He's a
very relaxed cat,
who likes to sit
in the sunshine
and is perfectly
happy by himself:
he's not needy. We
think he would be
best in a home
without other cats
(or just with one
female cat) and
without dogs, and
he would be
equally happy with
a single person, a
couple or a
family.

for more details
about this lovely
cat. |

Sasha & Tasha
Meet
Sasha & Tasha,
intelligent and
affectionate sisters who
were saved from an
Athens park which has
become overrun with dogs
that kill any cat they
find. In their foster
home, Sasha & Tasha
(they are very similar,
but Tasha has a little
cinnamon-coloured
moustache, and Sasha is
plumper) love to sit on
your knee and be
stroked, and are
adapting well to an
indoor lifestyle.
Glowing with good health
and vitality, they are
housetrained,
vaccinated, spayed and
treated for parasites.
We would dearly love to
home them together.
Think you could be their
saviour? Please email

This
is
Ivi.
She was found on
Christmas Eve
lying at the side
of a busy road in
Kifissia and had
obviously been hit
by a car. The vet
did an x-ray and
found that her
tail was
completely broken
but luckily she
had no other
injuries. Her tail
had to be
amputated; as you
can see in the
photos she just
has a stump. This
will make it more
difficult for her
to balance and
jump, so she needs
to live inside a
house and be
supervised on the
balcony at all
times!
She's
extremely
affectionate and
gentle; when you
pick her up, she
starts to purr and
loves to be close
to you. She is
around 3 months
old, has had her
first vaccination
and has been
treated for
parasites. If you
are interested,
please email
ninelivesgreece@gmail.com.

Βρέθηκε πολύ άσχημα χτυπημένος
στο πρόσωπο – μας είπαν από
μηχανάκι. Η άνω και η κάτω
γνάθος είχαν χωρίσει στη μέση
και υπήρχε εγκεφαλικό οίδημα
που τον είχε τυφλώσει. Η
γνάθος του αποκαταστάθηκε με
ένα δύσκολο χειρουργείο. Ο
γιατρός εκτιμούσε ότι υπήρχαν
σοβαρές πιθανότητες, όταν το
οίδημα υποχωρήσει, η όρασή του
να αποκατασταθεί. Δυστυχώς
διαψεύστηκε.
Ο Αντρούτσος, όπως τον
ονομάσαμε γιατί φάνηκε
πραγματικός μαχητής, έχει
μείνει τυφλός - ίσως να βλέπει
μόνο σκιές. Με τον καιρό
άλλαξε και η συμπεριφορά του.
Ενώ στην αρχή - ίσως και από
το σοκ, ήταν αγριμάκι, τώρα
έχει γίνει μεγάλος χαδιάρης
και απαιτεί το χάιδεμα σχεδόν
κουτουλώντας. Ξαφνιάζεται όμως
και δυσανασχετεί, αν θελήσει
κανείς να τον πάρει αγκαλιά. Η
Κική τον έσωσε και με πολύ
αγάπη τον φιλοξένησε περίπου
για ένα χρόνο. Τους τελευταίου
μήνες τον φιλοξενεί η Ζαμπέλα
από την Πυλαία Θεσσαλονίκης
και όπως λεέι «τον αγαπάμε
πολύ γιατί είναι ήρεμος και
καθόλου γκρινιάρης». Όλοι μας
ψάχνουμε να του βρούμε μια
οικογένεια που να τον αγαπά
και να τον φροντίζει όπως του
αξίζει, και πιστέψτε μας, όλα
αυτά θα τα ανταποδώσει με το
παραπάνω.

Ε Π Ε Ι Γ Ο Ν
Η
«τρεμούλα» είναι
μια γατούλα
περίπου ενός
έτους, πολύ
γλυκιά, στειρωμένη
που έχει κινητικό
πρόβλημα
(περπατάει αργά
και όταν προσπαθεί
να τρέξει πέφτει
δεξιά και
αριστερά) . η
γατούλα αυτή ζεί
στο δρόμο και
κινδυνεύει πολλες
φορές κάθε μέρα
από τα αυτοκίνητα.
Είναι θαύμα πως
ζεί μέχρι τώρα. Γι
αυτό ζητείται
επειγόντως μια
πραγματικά φιλόζωη
οικογένεια και
ένας χώρος χωρίς
αυτοκίνητα, για να
ζήσει ήσυχη και
ευτυχισμένη.
Παρακαλώ

‘Tremoula’
(pictured) is
nearly one year of
age, a very sweet,
affectionate,
neutered female.
Unfortunately, she
suffers from some
kinetic problems
which mean that
she cannot run.
This makes her
current life on
the streets
exceptionally
dangerous, as she
is at enormous
risk from cars and
dogs. It’s a
miracle that she
has survived so
far. As well as
looking into
medical treatment
for her, we are
desperately trying
to get her into a
foster home to
keep her safe
until a loving,
permanent home can
be found where she
can live quietly
and happily.
