See you there!
Little Nano was found on 16 of September. Litsa, our coordinator, heard a kitten crying while walking her dog. But because the kitten was located inside a garden, she left it and returned to next day to check on it. The kitten was still crying so she found the owner of the property and received permission to search the area. Little Nano was found under a plant crying nonstop, no mother around. She appeared to be only a couple weeks old. Back at the AZI center, little Nano received care and nourishment from a baby bottle at first and is she is starting to eat by herself. She is a happy and sweet kitten and she will be available for adoption in 1 month.
Petitioning the Greek Minister of Tourism and Environment and the Greek Prime Minister, to Elena Kountoura and All Mayors Cycladic Islands:
The civilization of a country is measured by how it treats its animals. Laws prohibiting the physical and psychological suffering of dogs and controls carried out by the authorities, even in private homes, are needed.
Fluffy is another blind kitten who arrived in August from Aegiali. Sadly, she lost both eyes from a bad infection. A man found her in the trash can and called AZI. At our center she is receiving care in the form of antibiotics and eye drops. She eats very well and has started to play. We think the chances are good for her to become a healthy, strong cat.

We are pleased to welcome two retired donkeys to our shelter. Both come from Chora and are too old for work. Anna arrived Aug 5th and came from a poor farming family. She carried many loads up the mountains in her lifetime and deserves a happy life in retirement. Maria arrived on August 27th and is still adjusting to her new life at our stable. She worked hard has a young donkey but more recently was not working so she has a bit more energy for her age. We hope she will make friends with the others at the stable and enjoy her retirement.
AZI
and meet our animals!
