A good day today!

I am delighted to say we have secured 2 wonderful homes for 2 special cats today. My little black kitten rescued from the Monastery has been offered a home with Tina and John. They came to see her today and have promised to take her when she is fully recovered from her cat flu. She is making excellent progress (so she should with all the tender love and care she is getting from me)Anyway I am confident that she will go to her new home early next week.
Also Custard the gorgeous long haired cat (badly injured 2 months ago) has now been offered a forever home. One of our supporters thought he might be happy with her Mum and it was love at first sight for both.
A great achievement. Saving one is magic saving two in one day is pure heaven. Thank you to all the people that support Parc and help us provide the care necessary to get these little ones better.

Little black kitten

Yesterday we were called to ask to help a little black kitten that had been dumped at the Monastery. She is very sweet and friendly but is very sick. She was taken to Dr. Maria and as she had the Virus which kills cats and kittens very quickly and is very contagious we couldnt put her with any other cats. Consequently she is currently in quarantine in my bedroom. She is, as you would expect, being treated like Royalty and I am hopeful she will make a full recovery. In this event Parc will vaccinate and spay her but we would like to think we could find her a home to save her returning to the Monastery. Although they get well fed at the Monastory it is not the same as having a one to one home and this wee one has the sweetest nature. I havent taken her photograph yet(now added) as her little eyes are very runny and her nose is sore. She is having to be fed with a srynge but she is accepting everything I do for her, clearly she appreciates home comforts. If you would like a black kitten then please give me a call.

Kitty to Newbury, UK

Dear Kitty left Cyprus for her new life in the UK today.She was rescued last March after birthing 5 babies in the garden of a holiday Villa. Caroline and her partner cared for the little family and became very fond of Kitty. They asked Parc to help her and her babies. We took them in the pens, found homes for all the little ones and then asked Dr. Maria to foster Kitty. Caroline had agreed to meet the cost of all her vaccines and flight if we could take care of her.
After 7 months she has now joined Caroline and her family. Kitty arrived safely had a good meal enjoyed the fuss she was getting and then sorted the dogs out. Another good job done. We wish Kitty and her forever family all the best.

Custard needs a home now

This dear little boy had a bad accident and needed a lot of care but he is now fit and well. Very loving long haired mink coloured. Litter trained, vaccinated and neutered. If you can offer a good home to this little one please contact us. He is currently being fostered by supporters who have lots of cats and dogs so he is well socialised.

Dear little girl needs a home. She is about 9 months old, housetrained, has just been spayed and microchipped. She is very affectionate and good with children. She has not had much attention and needs someone who is confident with dogs. She is good on the lead and comes to call. She is a quiet happy little dog and she has a lot of love to give. For more information telephone Ruth on 99961157

Sally to UK

I am pleased to report that Sally the beloved cat that I have personally fostered for 2 years has now gone to live with Rita in the UK. She is pictured on the left of our website logo. Lionel and I took her to the airport today. Rita was the lady that rescued her when she (Sally) was pregnant and she left her in our care saying she would always have her in the UK if we felt it was right for Sally. Well after much soul searching we all agreed it was the best thing for Sally now. Sally has always adored Rita and I know she will have a happy life. She will be much missed in Cyprus but it is always right to put the animals needs above our own. We wish Rita and Sally a long and happy life together.

This is Sally in her warm bed she is clearly very happy in England

RUTH IS CROCKED!!!

IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD I HAVE A COUPLE OF CRACKED RIBS WHICH ARE VERY PAINFUL. NO IT WASN'T LIONEL ALTHOUGH I WOULDN'T BLAME HIM IF IT WAS, THESE DAYS HE HAS TO ASK SOMEONE WHO I AM! I HAD A TUSSLE WITH MY TWO BIG DOGS AND ENDED UP FLAT ON MY BACK. OBVIOUSLY I GAVE IN TOO LATE. ANYWAY MY REASON FOR TELLING YOU ALL THIS IS TO SAY THAT PARC ARE SOMEWHAT DEPLETED AT PRESENT WITH ANN HAVING A BROKEN FOOT (THANKFULLY MENDING WELL BUT STILL PAINFUL) AND ME WITH FRACTURED RIBS THE HANDS ON ANIMAL WORK OF PARC HAS FALLEN ON PAM, DON AND CLARE AND JASON AND ALSO I MUST NOT FORGET MY HUSBAND LIONEL WHO GETS UP EVERY MORNING TO FEED 20 HOMELESS CATS, WITHOUT HIM THEY WOULD STARVE FOR SURE. THEY HAVE ALL COPED REALLY WELL AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY WHAT A GREAT JOB THEY HAVE DONE. IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO 16 HOMELESS CATS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED FROM BEHIND THE GREEN BINS/RESTAURANTS AND TAKEN TO BE NEUTERED. CLARE COLLECTED A POOR CAT THAT WAS FOUND WITH A ROPE ROUND HIS NECK (2 FOOT LONG AND CHOKING HIM) AND TOOK IT TO HER HOME TO RECOVER, WE HAVE ARRANGED FOR 7 PUPPIES TO BE VACCINATED, GOT ANOTHER SICK KITTEN COLLECTED BY PAM AND TAKEN TO THE PENS FOR TREATMENT (DON IS A WONDER WITH SICK KITTENS), AND PLACED 2 KITTENS WITH CLARE AND JASON FOR FOSTERING. IF YOU CAN FIND ANYONE WHO LOVES CATS AND KITTENS MORE THAN THESE TWO AT COZY CATZ CATTERY THEN LET ME KNOW BECAUSE I CAN'T. WE HAVE ALSO TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINDING FOREVER HOMES FOR ANOTHER 4 DOGS AND DESPITE MY INJURIES I AM MANAGING TO KEEP UP THE WEBSITE AND THE E MAILS AS WELL AS ORGANISING THE EXPORT OF 2 CATS TO THE UK AND A DOG TO GERMANY. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN PAM AND CLARE GO TRAPPING IT MEANS THEY SPEND HOURS TRYING TO CATCH THE FERAL CATS, THEN TAKE THEM TO THE VETS FOR NEUTERING AND THEN RETURN THE NEXT DAY TO COLLECT AND RETURN THE CATS TO THEIR AREA. SO 16 CATS WILL HAVE TAKEN AROUND 16 HOURS. IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THIS WE FEED 150 HOMELESS ANIMALS EVERY SINGLE DAY INCLUDING CHRISTMAS DAY.THESE ARE DIFFICULT TIMES AND WE ALL NEED A PAT ON THE BACK OCCASIONALLY. I AM NOT FORGETTING OUR BACK UP TEAM MAINLY OUR TREASURER SUE WHO ALSO DOES A SPLENDID JOB AND OUR SUPPORTERS WHO HELP US RAISE FUNDS.I KNOW I DO, AND SO DO THE REST OF THE TEAM, SO THANK YOU TO PAM,DON,CLARE, LIONEL AND ANN FOR WHAT YOU DO.

ONE IS A LONG HAIRED DASHHOUND,AND THE OTHER IS SHELTIE LIKE. THEY HAVE LIVED IN A DOMESTIC HOME FOR THE PAST 3/4 YEARS. PLEASE TRY AND HELP THEM.

Young kitten cats

Bevan is male and is the one with the most white on him. Hermione his sister has more ginger. They are both very friendly and have lived in a home with dogs and cats so they are both very sociable with people and animals. They are fully vaccinated, neutered and litter trained. They love to be cuddled. We thought they had a home but we have been let down. If you can help either of these cats or better still both of them then give us a call. They will bring a lot of pleasure for sure.
