He is handsome, he is young, he is playful but also cuddly. He is...Truffle! Found dirty inside a flower pot he got carried home inside our volunteer’s jacket. Truffle is now 5 months old and ready for a home where his high energy will be welcomed. The ideal home for him definitely has other cats for him to bond and play with! Come on #blackcatlovers , step up! ———- Είναι όμορφος, είναι νέος, είναι παιχνιδιάρης αλλά και τρυφερούλης. Είναι ... ο Τρούφας! Βρέθηκε βρώμικος μέσα σε ένα λασπωμένο παρτέρι και μεταφέρθηκε σπίτι μέσα στο μπουφάν της εθελόντριάς μας. Ο Troufas είναι τώρα 5 μηνών και είναι έτοιμος για ένα σπίτι όπου η γατο-ενέργεια του θα είναι ευπρόσδεκτη. Το ιδανικό σπίτι για αυτόν σίγουρα έχει άλλες γάτες για να παίζει μαζί τους.

Nap Time #SundaySelfie

Happy Sunday!


I woke up from my nap and remembered to take my Sunday Selfie. Now it's back to my Easy Like Sunday afternoon nap 💤🛌

ADOPT A CYPRUS PRIDE HOUSE CAT

Based in Cyprus Cyprus Pride House rehomes hundreds of cats and dogs all over Europe.

My grandparents are Greek and came to England from Cyprus so Mum and I feel a close connection to Greek and Cypriot rescue cats. For one thing, we know cats and dogs are often treated as vermin over there and there are thousands of unneutered cats, most of them strays, left to keep reproducing. This makes Mum very angry to know that this still goes on in this day and age. Of course, animals suffer all over the world, but we can't help them all as much as we would like to :(

As we can't afford to donate to every charity that needs our urgent help, we are doing our best to help by sharing, as we always do on this blog and on social media.

This beauty is LAYLA and she is looking for a home. She can be adopted in Europe and the UK

Wordless Whiskers Wednesday: Take a Look at My Instagram








If you can't see the above you can see it here And here below from Nine Lives Greece is a sweet cat that has been through traumatic times and would love a forever home. Kelly is looking for a "a compassionate human who will give this jewel the love she deserves"

View this post on Instagram

Kelly is another victim of abandonment. She suffers from chronic asthma which is why she had trouble breathing when our volunteer first found her. She will always have it, but in a warm home without stress she can be just fine. Kelly was traumatized by her abandonment and remains a little wary of new people. But when you earn her trust she shows her love in every way possible. She can be very tender and often will stay in your hugging arms for hours. We are looking for a compassionate human who will give this jewel the love she deserves. Let’s prove to young Kelly, not all humans are bad 🙏 #sharingiscaring ———— Η νεαρή Κέλλυ είναι άλλο ένα θύμα εγκατάλειψης. Έχει χρόνιο άσθμα και γι’αυτο είχε βαριά αναπνοή όταν την βρήκε η εθελόντρια μας. Είναι κάτι που θα έχει για πάντα, ωστόσο σε ένα ήρεμο και ζεστό περιβάλλον θα είναι μια χαρά. Η Κέλλυ τραυματίστηκε από το γεγονός της εγκατάλειψης της γι’αυτο και είναι επιφυλακτική όταν σε πρώτο γνωρίζει. Μετά όμως δείχνει με κάθε ευκαιρία την αγάπη της. Της αρέσει να κάθεται στην αγκαλιά σου για ώρες. Ψάχνουμε έναν άνθρωπο που θα χαρίσει σε αυτό το στολιδακι την αγάπη που στερήθηκε και που τόσο αξίζει. ———- #εφταψυχες #pamespiti #calico #adoptme #adoptdontshop #fostercat #greekcats #saveastray #fosteringsaveslives #furever #lovecats #athenscats #gato #katzen

Whiskers Wednesday Almost Fail Saved by Art


I know it's not Caturday Art today (obviously not because it's Wednesday) but here is an artifyed photo of me.

Here's the story: This photo was looking like a photo fail but Mum saved it with some cartoon filter. It highlights my whiskers, giving them an extra curl in HD. I like it! Purrfect for Whiskers Wednesday, which is also worldless so that's enough talk from me today :) 😺



Here's the original

SHARING CATS OF GREECE WHO ARE NEEDING FOREVER HOMES



My name is Cotton and I’m a 3.5 month-old kitten that someone abandoned at a park. Look how gorgeous I am with my beautiful almond-shaped eyes and silky soft fur! I get so excited when someone walks in, that I need to open my mouth to purr as heavily and loudly as I can, which my foster mommy says cracks her up! Once you walk through the front door, I’m like your shadow and will follow you around waiting for the lovefest to begin. Shall we start? ———- Το όνομά μου είναι Κότον και είμαι ένας γατούλης 3.5 μηνών που κάποιος παράτησε σε ένα πάρκο. Κοίτα πόσο όμορφος είμαι με τα αμυγδαλωτά μου μάτια και την μεταξένια μου γούνα! Τόσο πολύ ενθουσιάζομαι όταν κάποιος έρχεται στο σπίτι που ανοίγω το στόμα μου και ξεκινώ να χουρχουρίζω με όλη μου τη δύναμη! Η προσωρινή μου μαμά γελάει πάντα όταν το κάνω αυτό, δεν ξέρω γιατί. Με το που θα σε δω θα γίνω η σκιά σου και θα σε ακολουθώ παντού για χάδια και τρυφεράδες. Θες να ξεκινήσουμε; ———- #παμεσπιτι #εφταψυχες #γατακια #αδεσποτακι #ninelivesgreece #straykitten #katzen #gato #caturday #adoptme #takemehome #fosterkitten #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #tinybutmighty #athenscats

Human-Animal Relationship Awareness Week #FlashbackFriday

Happy Feline Friday!


For #HumanAnimalRelationshipAwarenessWeek we thought we'd do a quick Flashback Friday post featuring selfies of me with my mum.

For those who are visiting for the first time, this rescue cat met her human mum back in 2011 at Wood Green, The Animal Charity and we knew we were meant for each other. It WAS love at first sight 💕


I jumped into Mum's arms and that was that. From the very first day that I arrived in my forever home I leaped out of my carrier and filled my small belly with the kitten food Mum provided for me. I looked around my new surroundings but to me they didn't feel new or scary at all. 

I let Mum pick me up and cuddle me from the very start and as soon as she sat down I jumped onto her lap and started purring. 

Even though I was socialised by my carers at Wood Green before I was put up for adoption at 10 weeks old it wasn't the only reason I felt at ease with my new family and home. I'd known Mum before in a past life. For those who don't believe, well, that's up to you. But there is a deep soul-connection with me and my Mum!

And as Mum would put it: Meow Love is the Best Love 💓



You may or not have seen this photo before but here it is and Mum made three different versions because she likes to play around with effects and filters!


💚💜

This is cool
Pop Art style

We could use the above 
for tomorrow's Caturday Art Blog Hop but Mum has created another masterpiece for that (masterpiece because I'm the model as usual).




And here's a special treat for new fans -a flashback video from our YouTube Channel





Hosted by Comedy Plus



1. I have been _________ for _________.

2. Have you _________?

3. I always _________ this time of year.

4. The world could use more _________.

MARIE

1. I have been hoping for earnings to come my way from my books and designs for years and years and I'm fed up and tired that it comes easy to others and not for me. I'm not a young woman anymore and I feel that time is running out. I am writing this in my morning mood and it's always negative but sometimes negative is being realistic. Sometimes thinking positive just doesn't work. 

2. Have you ever felt you don't belong here? I do. I've always felt different and that I don't belong in this world. 

3. I always love this time of year but it also makes me feel sad that another year has gone by so quickly. Quicker and quicker as I get older it seems. 


4. The world could use more compassion, peace, and understanding.


ATHENA

1. I have been waiting for that treat for ages. Hey, Mum, get off the computer!

2. Have you ever wished your human would just stop staring at screens all day?

3. I always feel cold at this time of year and want to snuggle up with Mum all day.


4. The world could use more feline leaders! Larry for Prime Minister! I could be a leader too of course, but I don't do politics. I'm more happy being a meowdel and Internet star and being a voice for homeless pets all over the world.

Cat Day Adopt Don't Shop #CharityTuesday

Adopt Don't Shop!

So it's Tuesday so that means it's Charity Tuesday for us on this blog. Every Tuesday we try to help cats get adopted!

But we heard it's Cat Day too. Well, you know our thoughts on that - EVERY DAY IS CAT DAY 😻

tabby cat
Athena was adopted from Wood Green

💚


From our favourite charity, Wood Green, The Animals Charity we have Misty. 
Watch her video below or on YouTube 

First, here is some info on this lovely lady, taken from the Wood Green website.


"Misty has been with us a little while and is looking for her forever home. Our lovely girl has been doing really well and losing weight at a good pace however she is unable to lose all the weight she needs to in our cattery environment. Misty enjoys all the home comforts in life and enjoys relaxing in her bed and playing with feathers when she pleases." 
If you are interested in rehoming Misty check out her profile here.







And from Cyprus Pride House, here is Sweet Amaira. 

A friendly and affectionate girl who loves to play. 

Watch her video below or on YouTube 



More info at www.cypruspridehouse.org

Also, check out Ermis at Nine Live Greece. He needs a home ASAP!


View this post on Instagram

Ermis is the sweetest of cats. He is a living example of how animals respond to cruelty with kindness, to neglect with trust, to abuse with unconditional love. The moment he was moved to a safe place he showed his gratitude to his rescuers. He is gentle, kind, and asks for cuddles all day long. We only have 1 month to find him a home. Please help us! ———- Ο Ερμής είναι ο πιο γλυκός γατούλης. Είναι το ζωντανό παράδειγμα του πώς τα ζώα απαντούν με ευγένια στη βία, με εμπιστοσύνη απέναντι στην παραμέληση, με αγάπη άνευ όρων κόντρα στην κακοποίηση. Από τη στιγμή που βρέθηκε σε ασφαλές μέρος δεν σταματα να δείχνει την ευγνωμοσύνη του. Είναι ευγενικος, ήρεμος και ζητά χάδια όλη μέσα. Έχουμε 1 μήνα να του βρούμε σπιτάκι. Βοηθήστε μας! ———— #παμεσπιτι #εφταψυχες #ninelivesgreece #straycats #abusedcat #greekcats #adoptme #adoptdontshop #tuxedocat #sos #urgent #catrescue #saveastray #athenscats #saveagreekstray #animalrescue #catlove #instacats #catsagram #katzen #gato

ATHENA'S RESCUE STORY

All proceeds from A Forever Home For Athena will be donated to the following charities:

Wood Green The Animals Charity
Greek Cat Welfare Society
Cats Protection




🐾💖🐾💖


💜

More homeless pets looking for forever homes can be found on my Mum's Pinterest Pet Rescue board.
Disclosure: I received no compensation for this post. As a rescue kitty myself I want to help other rescues find their forever home, so each week on Charity Tuesday I share adoptable cats from Wood Green, the Animals Charity (which is where I was rescued) and some other charities dear to our hearts. Mum and I are so grateful to Wood Green because without them we would never have found each other! Please note: We are here to help cats and give our time freely. We also ensure that to the best of our knowledge and research other lesser-known charities mentioned are legit.
