Many of you will know of Kiveli Georgiou through the work she has done to help the Kantou dogs. Back in March 2019 when the people who ran the former Hope for the Strays rescue walked away and the dreadful conditions there were fully revealed, it was Kiveli who stepped forward to take responsibility for the dogs with the aid of Vet Services. Since then, with the help of volunteers, the lives of the dogs who survived their treatment at that "rescue" have been transformed and from over 130 dogs there are now just 15 left waiting to find new homes (at which time the shelter can finally close for good).
As well as taking on this huge responsibility Kiveli has always been active in the Cyprus rescue community and has saved and still does save many other dogs.
Her latest rescue is Alma who she found in a really dreadful condition on 11th March while on her way to the shelter at Kantou. Poor Alma was covered in ticks and clearly had a broken leg. Subsequent examination at the vets showed the break was an old one and had caused a bad infection meaning that sadly the leg will have to be amputated and on top of that Alma is also positive for leish and anaemic. Alma is currently staying at the vets, has started a special diet for the anaemia, milteforan for leish and is waiting for her surgery all of which will be expensive. This will greatly add to Kiveli’s outstanding debt at the vets which has been the result of her previously helping many other dogs in dire need of rescue.
So far Kiveli has largely paid for the care of her rescues out of her own funds which includes paying for fosters or stays at a dog hotel until they are permanently rehomed as well as for their vet bills etc. She works a second job to fund this but over time her personal vet bill has continued to rise to the point where it has reached over 3,700 euros, which does not include the current costs for the treatment of Alma and it can no longer be added to. (NB. This outstanding bill also does not include any amounts for Kantou dogs who are separately funded).
Kiveli now really needs some outside help to get this balance down so whatever you can donate will mean that the vets who have given her so much support can be paid back and she can continue to help other stray and mistreated dogs. Kiveli has never turned her back on a dog in need and now needs some help herself to reduce this mountain of debt.
Please donate if you can – all funds received will be paid on to the vets and receipts will be posted as the fundraiser progresses.
Thank you so much for supporting Kiveli and the wonderful work that she does.
PS. Offline donations can also be made - please comment to ask for details.
