It wouldn't be #InternationalCatDay if we didn't give a huge shout out to our animal partners across the world looking out for the welfare of cats across the globe! ⁣ ⁣ Nine Lives Greece is a charity whose purpose is caring for and protecting stray cats in the Greek capital Athens. With the assistance of a Battersea grant, Nine Lives has been able to help many more stray colony cats, expanding their trap, neuter, release programme and reaching cats in need of vital medical treatment.⁣ ⁣ A worried black and white male cat was found during Nine Lives’ morning trapping endeavours at busy Thissio metro station in Athens. The stray cat was limping and unable to step on his front left paw as it was swollen and bleeding. A local person who had been caring for him collaborated with Nine Lives to help catch him and he was transferred to a veterinary clinic for treatment.⁣ ⁣ After being hospitalised for several days, he was moved to a volunteer’s home for further treatment and rehabilitation. During his time in the foster home, his loving character emerged, and he became more confident every day.⁣ ⁣ After the Nine Lives team ensured he was healthy, the Thissio cat was successfully returned to his colony, where he continues to thrive. 💙
