Napoleon, a gentle and resilient donkey, came to the Animal Zone International equine shelter in June 2022 by order of the local police. His rescue was urgent: his legs had been tied together, the rope cutting so deeply into one that it left a severe, infected wound swarming with flies.
Every step was painful, but his eyes still carried a quiet strength.
On April 22, a father and his two sons found a kitten on the beach of Agia Anna in Amorgos. Together, they searched for his mother, and checked in on him throughout the following 24 hours. But, after a full day went by with no sign of the kitten’s mother, they called us. We took him in, named him Eclair, and immediately began an aggressive bottle-feeding schedule so the kitten could regain his strength.
Meet Pocopico. When he first came to us — an entire week after taking a hit from a car — his jaw was broken. He couldn’t see or walk straight. A preexisting respiratory disease made the situation all the more urgent.
We rushed him to the nearby island of Naxos for intensive care. We knew we had a fighter on our hands, and we never give up hope.
We’d like to introduce a new arrival—Michaela the donkey.
Michaela, at 32 years old, is an older donkey who is getting too old for work. Her owner no longer wanted to keep her, so Michaela needed a place to retire.
The only solution for her was to come to our shelter since, due to her advanced age, she can no longer work.
Welcome to our shelter, sweet Michaela!
Due to the ongoing, intense seismic activity in our area, the planned spay/neuter program is postponed until further notice.
The safety of all of us, two-legged and four-legged, is our priority. We wish strength and courage to the residents of our islands.
