In Malta they have a statue of cats at a sanctuary right on the sea front. The locals leave it alone or provide support. If only we could do the same in Cyprus. Thank you for your support for the Paphos Cat Lady .

Happy birthday to our wonderful volunteer, Dalia! 🥳🎂🎉

Not only is Dalia a Paphos Cat Lady volunteer, she is a very good friend and support to Gaynor.

Dalia takes care of the Apartment cats, at both the front and back of the apartment block.

We don’t know what we’d do without you Dalia! ❤️

We hope you enjoy your special day.

Much love from the Paphos Cat Lady team x

One of our supporters asked us to share this. Really interesting...and shows how important our feline friends are.

***REMEMBERING THE CATS***
Thousands of cats were dispatched to the trenches during WW1 to keep rodent numbers down and act as early warning detectors for mustard gas. So many gave great comfort to the troops as companions and mascots. How many cats survived we will never know?
Paws At The Ready -
The cats of World War One had significant role in all the campaigns, we must honour their bravery too.
Give thought to all the kitties
who served in World War One.
A battalion of the finest
who never fired a gun.
What was their role?
Whether hunting rodents out at sea,
or loyal friends to men,
these many cats had vital roles,
time and time again.
The food was saved.
A common sight in trenches deep,
dispatching mice and rats,
the soldiers’ had a special bond
with many of these cats.
Many were treasured mascots.
Five hundred thousand cats were sent
to serve in the Great War.
Some detected mustard gas,
whilst others were off shore.
Some of the feline heroes -
Togo was the Dreadnought’s cat,
The Swan had their lad Ching.
Pincher was the Vinex’s mog,
it was luck they hoped they’d bring.
‘Martinpuich’ was aptly named,
by The 9th battalion chaps.
Pitouchi was the orphaned kit,
who’d survived on army scraps.
Spark Plug, Tabby and many more
were companions to the troops.
The feline unsung heroes,
those cats who became recruits.
We’ll never truly realise
just what these cats went through.
So spare a thought and give some thanks
for what they did for you!
Lest We Forget!

Thank you so much for helping the Paphos Cat Lady feed the cats and kittens. The next food fundraisers will start in the next few weeks. In the meantime, can you help spread the word or have any ideas about other things we can do? All suggestions welcome.

A message today off a lovely lady called Indira x
Today we met eachother. You are a beautyfull person. Helping the cats is important. Thank you!

This is at “The Bins” feeding station in Paphos Old Town.

So called as the cats use to gather around the large bins that the restaurants and bars in the area use to dispose of their food.🐈🐈‍⬛🐾

Thanks to Gaynor however, the cats now know they will get a meal a day so don’t need to scavenge in the bins as much.❤️🥰🐈‍⬛🐾
