Another dramatic story that shows the life-changing impact of our spay/neuter programs for stray cats.
She came to our sterilization program to be spayed, but what we discovered on her ears was an immediate threat to her life. Sadly, the hot Greek sun can be extremely dangerous for light-colored stray cats. Both of Fenia’s ears — as we named her — had developed cancer and had to be surgically removed before the disease could spread further.
The sun burns the light-colored ears, causing the skin to dry out. Then wounds begin to form, and if they are left untreated and continue to be “cooked” under the relentless sun, they can eventually turn cancerous.
Fenia was one of the lucky ones. Because she was trapped and brought in for sterilization, she was also able to receive the life-saving treatment she desperately needed. Her ears were removed, her spay surgery was completed, and she stayed at our Center for a month so she could recover and regain her strength.
Afterwards, healthy and strong once again, Fenia returned to her neighborhood in Lagada, Amorgos, where we hope she will live many more happy years.
Our ability to help her and the many like her depends on the help of the community at large, including you! Please think of Fenia—and donate here: https://givebutter.com/DeRrpm
She thanks you for the second chance at life she has received!
