<div>Hi to all you cat lovers out there, my name is Phoebus (Fivos), which means Bringer of Light. I live on the Greek Island of Poros, one of the Saronic Islands of Greece. I am fundraising on behalf of all the stray cats and kittens here on the island who desperately need your help.
</div>
<div>When I was a kitten I had untreated cat flu and as a result, I now am blind. I was given to a lady called Trisha, as a 'no hope of survival' cat. Fortunately for me, Trisha adopted me and with love and care, I survived and am now 6 years old.
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/72936949_1685718298139803_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sadly not all of the stray cats and kittens on this island are so fortunate!
</div>
<div>I would like to help them by raising funds for desperately needed food, medications, and most importantly funds to be able to run a programme to sterilize stray cats to reduce the birth of homeless kittens, who would not enjoy a happy life on the streets.
</div>
<div>These funds would be distributed by kind volunteers and make such a huge difference to the welfare of my friends. Whenever possible these volunteers try to find suitable homes for my fellow felines.
</div>
<div>I am championing their plight and ask if you can spare anything towards looking after my friends, in these hard times, please do give, however small an amount, it would be so gratefully received and put to good use.
</div>

</div>
<div>Hello, my name is Coco Chanel. I am 2 months old and was found lost and
</div>
<div>wandering in a busy street in Piraeus.
</div>
<div>My tail is broken and I am deaf and do not see very well.
</div>
<div>A kind man called Stefan picked me up and took care of me until Trisha
</div>
<div>collected me.

<div>Update :  Cat rescue in Poros :  A story of solidarity and perseverance!  In a moving rescue effort a cat that had been trapped for 10 days in a gutter in the port of Poros Harbour is finally safe  thanks to the dedication and team effort of many people.  The Poros-Galata Stray Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) expressed its immense gratitude to all who participated in this difficult mission.  In particular it acknowledged diver Giorgos Frekasiotis and the DLT employee Dimitris Melos who managed to bring the little cat to the surface and also to the Coast guard who provided assistance.  The cat is was placed in a safe shelter until full recovery.  This is a wonderful story of the example of collective sensitivity and love for animals - solidarity and perseverance can make a difference!!
