Here also is a story of another community in the United States who has come together to solve a similar problem. The kudos here go to KittyFixers and the wonderful residents of community of Southfield, Michigan.

We need people to come together like this in Cyprus, and we need to educate our communities and ask for their help in solving and managing the problem. I know there are isolated individuals doing what they can in their villages, but we need to come together in a more coordinated manner with manpower and a vision all over the island so we garner more support, both on the ground and financially . Nik and I are quite overwhelmed at the moment and estimate we are feeding about 100 cats daily. We are in desperate need of funds for spaying and neutering and veterinarians who will help us with reduced rates, or we could easily end up with a similar situation at our own park.
