For those persons who would like to know how our injured female cat is doing, I want to say that she is walking almost fine now.  We hope we can spay her next week and then she will go back to her neighborhood.

After months of trying, a female cat was finally trapped near the harbor.  This particular lady was bearing kittens every 4 months and her babies usually died within their first month of life.  Last time, a member of PAG  found her 4 kittens and brought them to the local vet clinic, where they remained for a week (Cost, more than 60 euros), but nothing could be done to save their lives. The mother is quite wild and very clever, but thank goodness, she can now be spayed and start living her own life...

Another female from Calera has also been spayed and her sister will be trapped next week. These 2 girls already had 5 kittens each a few months ago (3 died) and live with their "Macho" (male).  If nothing were done, in a few years, we would have a nice community of about 50 or more hungry and/or sick cats and many upset neighbors …
