PAWS - Paleochora Animal Welfare Society hasn't added a story.
PAWS - Paleochora Animal Welfare Society - is based in South West
Crete and has been a registered charity since 2012. We aim to provide
care for stray cats and dogs in the area. We do not operate an animal
shelter.
We provide food and housing, for the strays, in their
neighbourhoods and offer medical help when necessary. We also support
neutering/spaying programmes and promote the principles of good animal
welfare in the local community. We aim to find homes for as many of
the stray animals as possible, so that they can live healthier and
happier lives in safe and loving surroundings.
Sadly the life of a stray cat and dog has many dangers,
including poisoning, traffic accidents and sickness. We have been
seeking an available building to provide a part-time vet
clinic/surgery since the charity started and now the local
council/authority have identified such a place for us. They have
provided the building but we at PAWS are required to undertake the
necessary work to make it usable.
Once this has been done we will invite local vets to use the space to offer their services to both stray and owned pets. This way the current distressing journey across the island will no longer be necessary and many more animals will access the help they need, from check ups and vaccinations to minor surgery. Additionally the clinic space will be available for use, by visiting vets, to undertake the valuable neutering programmes that contribute to less animals finding themselves as strays, living dangerous and unhealthy lives on our streets.
The money that we aim to raise will exclusively be used for the following;
- the necessary materials for the renovation work of the
building (paint, tiles, window glass) to make it both hygienic and
weather resistant
- installation of electricity and plumbing
- equipment for the vets to use and safe, dry storage space
- emergency first aid kits for poisoned or injured animals
PAWS will seek to source materials locally and to negotiate the
best prices. We will undertake the actual renovation work ourselves
wherever this is possible. However we need your help to raise the
necessary funds to be able to make our project become a reality. Every
contribution is a step towards making a huge difference in the lives
of our cats and dogs in Paleochora and surrounding villages. They need
your help.
