An autumn clean up by the marina
It’s been a busy autumn of TNR in Syros with We Live Together and Syros Cats! A large number of cats have found shelter in a messy, scarce area near the marina in Lazareta. They are lucky to be visited frequently by their guardian angel, Aliki, but they were clearly in need of neutering to stop […]

TRAP, NEUTER, RELEASE – EVEN IN THE MOUNTAINS!
We’re proud to be working on Syros for a third consecutive year, committing to sterilise 40 cats every single month – a number that is already making a real impact in the remote, mountainous village of Livohori in Syros.
A HANDY TOOL: MAP OF LOCAL ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS
How many of us have been on holiday, only to be faced with countless sick and hungry strays? Whether on the beaches of Thailand; the streets of Turkey; or loitering hopefully outside a Greek restaurant, it begs the question…what can we, as tourists, do to help?
WHERE WE WENT IN 2020
Despite 2020 being one of the most challenging years we’ve faced as a charity, we were still able to reach well over 1000 animals across Greece for veterinary care, sterilisation or treatment, including 817 cats, 205 dogs and 129 equidae (horses, donkeys and mules)…
