August 2021—Mitsos is a cat who lives in Agia Anna, Amorgos. About one month ago visitors to our island contacted us to report that he was suffering from a large wound under his ear and urgently needed medical care. We picked him up and after cleaning the wound began treating his ear. During his stay at our Center, he was also sterilized and dewormed and today, after now that his ear has healed, he was returned to his neighborhood.
When Litsa, our program coordinator, released him near his home, he ran off. But 10 minutes later, after exploring the area and realizing that he was back at home, he came running to find Litsa and did not stop showering affection on her. Litsa felt that he was thanking her for her care. And yes, animals have emotions and they prove it to us every day. This gratitude and love that they show us is the driving force that keeps us going.
