Sophie’s Inspiring Journey at Animal Zone International
Remembering Napoleon
Napoleon, a gentle and resilient donkey, came to the Animal Zone International equine shelter in June 2022 by order of the local police. His rescue was urgent: his legs had been tied together, the rope cutting so deeply into one that it left a severe, infected wound swarming with flies.
Every step was painful, but his eyes still carried a quiet strength.
Controlling the Stray Cat Population in Amorgos
How Two Orphan Cats Built Their Own Family
On April 22, a father and his two sons found a kitten on the beach of Agia Anna in Amorgos. Together, they searched for his mother, and checked in on him throughout the following 24 hours. But, after a full day went by with no sign of the kitten’s mother, they called us. We took him in, named him Eclair, and immediately began an aggressive bottle-feeding schedule so the kitten could regain his strength.
Meet Pocopico
Meet Pocopico. When he first came to us — an entire week after taking a hit from a car — his jaw was broken. He couldn’t see or walk straight. A preexisting respiratory disease made the situation all the more urgent.
We rushed him to the nearby island of Naxos for intensive care. We knew we had a fighter on our hands, and we never give up hope.
Welcome Michaela
We’d like to introduce a new arrival—Michaela the donkey.
Michaela, at 32 years old, is an older donkey who is getting too old for work. Her owner no longer wanted to keep her, so Michaela needed a place to retire.
The only solution for her was to come to our shelter since, due to her advanced age, she can no longer work.
Welcome to our shelter, sweet Michaela!
Winter sterilization program POSTPONED
Due to the ongoing, intense seismic activity in our area, the planned spay/neuter program is postponed until further notice.
The safety of all of us, two-legged and four-legged, is our priority. We wish strength and courage to the residents of our islands.
A Generous Donation
Dr. Parker, an amazing woman. came in contact with us in April to ask us what are the needs of our Center because she wanted to help. Within the variety of needs was also a very practical and useful item for the sterilization programs which is called Queens Cage drop over.
It was a goal and dream of ours to have at least one of those cages one day. Mrs Parker not only immediately offered to buy them for us, not one or two but 10 of them, but she also undertook all the logistics to buy them and send them from the UK to Greece, which was very expensive and complicated, but with her persistence, she succeeded.
We want to THANK SO MUCH Mrs. Parker for her generous donation. We have already used the cages in our autumn sterilization program and they helped us enormously. Thank you!
