Poros Cats

 Someone's hungry!



The strays are fed daily by a plethora of animal lovers

There are clowders of cats all over the island.  Some live near the big rubbish bins or around the local tavernas. They are often fed scraps from the taverna with extra food, especially in the winter when these are closed .
  Many times in the year voluntary vets from Denmark and England sterilise them for free.  They're assisted by animal lovers on the island, preparing the temporary clinic, nursing the recovering cats, and cleaning up afterwards. 
Cats are caught, neutered and released.

They all know where they will find food and as in this photo they'll appear as soon as they hear the car or bike approaching, impatiently waiting for their meal.



Thanks to neighbour Yiolanda for the video and the photo

    They are beautiful. How kind of vets to volunteer top neuter them. Kittens are gorgeous, but you can have too much of a good thing.

    That's a huge amount of cats, there are some here too, but they are few.

      Yes, BUT. We used to have two or three in the neighbourhood. Now we're over run

    Does this mean that Poros is 'Mouse free'?

      Around us the mice seem to have disappeared. I bet there are field mice in waiting though

    Lots of orange cats. I guess in time the numbers will come down to a balance. Locals said where we lived on the mainland, that they had rid the beach there of rats (which used to live among the rocks and were a plague on the place.)

      That's what's supposed to happen. They keep on sterilising but they still seem to multiply

    I’ve always loved how everyone pitches in and feeds the cats. I’m sure you will never have a problem with rats and mice
