Have you found a pregnant cat or dog and want to know what you should do?
Understandably, some may find this news troubling (and we respect that), however, it is our belief that terminating the pregnancy is the nicest thing you can do for the mother.  This teamed with sterilising the animal helps with population control and gives the mother cat or dog a much better quality of life.
Now that you know that, if you still want to help, please take the mother to your nearest vet. We have three vets on the island who all work Monday to Friday 10am-2pm and 6pm-9pm, although they also have a 24 hour emergency service. Â
If you need a cage or a trap, you can borrow or buy one from either the vets or the pet shops. Ring ahead first to confirm they have one spare for you.Â
As a small group of volunteers our main problem is finding hands to help and funding to pay for the sterilisations. Â If you can afford the treatment it would be greatly appreciated as we have to raise thousands of Euro each month. Ask the vets for a discount as the animal is not yours.
If you can’t afford the treatment, please take the animal to the vet anyway and ask them to get permission from Mykonos Animal Welfare to do whatever it is that needs to be done. Getting the animal to surgery before it has babies means many less animals will need to be sterilised in the future.Â
