Help Maria's Cathouse build a shelter in Crete!
Donation protected
Maria’s Cathouse desperately needs your help to build a permanent shelter for the cats of Chania in western Crete, Greece. There is no cat shelter in this region and there are thousands of homeless cats, many of whom need veterinary treatment.
Maria Malama runs the cat shelter completely by herself and set up this project after realising that there were no other places taking cats. Maria receives no government funding and relies totally on her own income and donations from the public. At the moment the shelter is based at her home, but her landlord is now selling the property and Maria has to move to new premises urgently. This is where we need you to PLEASE help Maria!
Maria’s Cathouse is the only hope many cats in Chania have of surviving. Maria now wants to build a permanent cat shelter, but she needs funds to build enclosures, quarantine areas and fencing to build a safe and secure home for the homeless cats of Chania.
Maria never says no to a cat in need and often steps in when no one else will. Maria is currently caring for approximately 100 cats and she helps to treat and neuter many more. The cats in her care are also re-homed, often abroad, and it is Maria’s aim to neuter as many cats as possible in Chania and provide veterinary treatment for others in need.
Many of the cats in Maria’s Cathouse were on the verge of death when Maria found them and many suffer from long term health conditions. In the photos you can see some of the cats in Maria’s care, cats that would have died without her intervention.
Please help Maria to help the cats of Chania. The situation is at crisis point with no state-sponsored neutering taking place. Maria is determined to transform the lives of Chania’s cats and our priority is to build a safe and secure permanent shelter. Please help us with this project! Every single donation, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated and every cent will go to building the cats' shelter.

Love Maria and the cats x
