Case
Histories |
|
|
Honey and
her brother Harry were abandoned as 5 week old puppies
in Elios. They were looked after by members of SCAN who
live on the island until permanent homes were found for
them. Harry was adopted by Ken and Mags, the foster
carers, who couldn't bear to part with him and Honey is
now happy and settled with his new family in Germany. In
the picture Honey is on the right, Harry on he left and
Ken in the middle! |

Henry
This gorgeous pure bred setter was found in a very
poor condition on Skopelos streets.He was lucky enough
to be adopted out to a fantastic family in Germany-his
full name is now 'Sir Henry of Skopelos'! |
|
 |
|
Bubba
was born on the streets of Skopelos. He was reared by
his mother but then an American visitor fell in love
with the little guy. It took masses amounts of phone
calls with the airlines, veterinarian and SCAN to pull
of this amazing feat of sending him to the States but it
was done and now he is settled in Manhattan, Kansas.
The owner wrote to us to tell us that Bubba now has a
large assortment of sweaters that he wears to help him
adjust to the cold weather. |

Limpy: This gorgeous male street cat was hit by a
car this summer on Skopelos waterfront. His back leg
was broken and he was in a lot of pain. He was cared
for, taken to Volos to be examined by a vet, and given
TLC until strong enough to fend for himself again. He
can walk, and run now-albeit with a limp, but is in
fantastic form. |

Skopie
was a stray that was hand-reared by a couple in Skopelos.
She then went to a foster home in Skopelos where she was
then adopted by an American artist visiting the island
that fell in love with him. Here is Skopie in front of
the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Frida,
named after Frida Kalo by the two young Polish girls who
found her when they came to Skopelos to work during the
summer. At that time she was only about four weeks old,
blind and needed hand rearing – George Michaels, the
veterinarian, saw her and thought the best thing was to
put her to sleep. The girls decided not to do that and
hand reared her to take her back to Poland. |
 |
|
|
|
Unfortunately for different reasons they could not take
Frida so when they left, SCAN looked after Frida for 2
weeks. Then Chrissoula from the Alkistis Hotel took her
back to Athens to live with she and her two cats - Frida
now rules the roost there! She's the most amazing
little kitten - you wouldn't know she couldn't see. A
story with a happy ending. |

Hero: This little cat is true hero. He was found
cowering in Peter's shed, with a terrible deep wound
on his flank, and with only one eye. Liz and Hilary
managed to catch him, and took him to Volos to our vet
George Michail. George was able to stitch up his wound
and sewed shut his eye socket, advising that Hero
would need further surgery to sort his eye out. |
 |
|
|
|
Throughout all this, Hero
showed real courage and
patience as if he understood
that he was being loved and
cared for. Liz and Hilary
decided to take him home and
he became their newest stray.
On George's latest visit, on
10/02, Hero was neutered and
had his second eye surgery.
Will email soon with other
additions. |
