News Update – June 2009

Since the last news update, as expected the weather has turned from Spring in Corfu to summer and getting very hot with predominantly long hot summer days. The charity has neutered around 50 cats since our return in February and with the tourist season in full swing we are now taking a break. It is very difficult to neuter during the season, it is very hot, the cats have all disappeared into the holiday resorts and we do not want to disturb the holidaymakers trying to catch cats!!

We have treated a few sick cats in the last few weeks thanks to your continued support, but hopefully they will be a few less cats around some of the tourist areas this year reducing the numbers and the risks of sick cats. We managed to keep the food coming for the kalami strays during the winter and those that survived the poisoning on the beach, which took place at the beginning of this year just before we returned, are now back in their favourite tourist spots. We would still remind people that are visiting those resorts not to take the cats inside apartments or villas, feed them outside in an area that we can continue to access during the winter. The cats do move around and will move to the feeding stations but please encourage them to do that whilst you are visiting.

John and Yvonne continued to feed the strays near the little bridge in St.Spiridon and helped them to survive the winter. The kittens have since been neutered and some are still around in the same area, but with the tourists arriving they are moving around. There is a big problem in this area with poisoning so please do not encourage the cats to go to the tavernas, feed them well away from any tavernas or contact John for advice. Anyone living or working in that area please support John and Yvonne by donating cat food to them for the winter feeding. We will try, with your help and donations to continue with some more neutering in this area.

Many little kittens are turning up or being found on their own, thank you to everyone that has taken in kittens and are helping them. We will try and neuter them when they are old enough for you, especially if anyone is caring for many cats and kittens. We have a few new ones looking for sponsors, so if anyone wants to do something to help who are in the UK and cannot help us in Corfu, you can always sponsor a cat or kitten for its neutering.

AAWF Google Homepage
We recently had a problem with our google homepage, where some of you may have lost it. This was due to a move to another server and the slight change in the URL for the homepage.

The google page is now bringing us a monthly income, which costs nothing to the supporters but means a lot to us. Please continue to use the page and if you have lost it, please check you have the correct URL which is http://google.agni-animal-welfare-fund.com  

The income from the page can be increased even further by all of us using the shopping centre. Click on the ‘shopping’ link on the top left of the page and it takes you to the list of shops that give us a donation each time you shop with them. You can do your Supermarket Shopping from there and also play on the Lottery and shop on e-bay. So if you shop on the internet please help us by using our page.
