Symi Animal Welfare update news today. Here’s the email I received:
Suzan is working on Crete at the moment but has asked that I forward this …
INFORMATION for both residents & visitors
The new tourist season has finally arrived which means that most of us are working or certainly committed to one thing or another for the next 5 months.
The care of our island’s animals isn’t simply a seasonal responsibility however, with limited time & manpower, may we offer you some useful information –
There is now a pet-shop on Symi, located at the bottom of the Kali Strata.
Michaeli has built up a small stock of animal accessories and will order general medications such as flea & worming treatments upon request.
Panayiotis visits the island once a month, for consultations & examinations only when a small charge is made. Unfortunately, he is unable to neuter animals or perform surgical procedures as he’s only here for one day, but the fact that we have a regular vet-visit is indeed great progress.
Symi Animal Welfare continue the arrangement with 2 vets on Rhodes; carers can take a cat across to the surgery on Rhodes; as long as the appointment is arranged through Suzan, the cost of neutering will be covered by Symi Animal Welfare but not ferry/taxi fares or personal expenses. Suzan’s number – 6981356421
Just a short blog, but I hope you agree, an important and useful one.
