This poor injured dog was reported to us at the Colossi of Memnon. She was very hungry and nervous but we were able to catch her. She has a deep abdominal wound and various other flesh wounds from unknown origin along with some older injuries. She is now in our care and resting and receiving treatment at the AWOL centre. We're hopeful she will make a full recovery with prolonged care.

It's worming time for our residents. Every month they are treated for worms, fleas, and ticks. They are in their spacious run and have access to comfortable beds in the kennels when the AWOL centre is open and then the run of the entire compound when it is closed.
We also saw little Sybilla, who we rehomed a few months ago, for a check up and are pleased to see she is looking happy and healthy. 😍

Remember the little Valley of the Kings amputee and her unexpected puppies? They are now strong healthy young dogs and we are very happy that we have been able to find good homes for them. When they are old enough they will be back to be neutered at the AWOL centre. Mother will be staying with us and is looking forward to some peace and quiet!

This tiny kitten is on a huge journey! She was found on the streets of Aswan by tourist Petra who immediately fell in love with her and contacted us for urgent help. Petra was leaving Aswan two hours after she contacted us on her Nile cruise up to Luxor. The ship's captain was kind enough to allow Petra to take the kitten on the boat but only if there was someone who would take the kitten in Luxor. Our amazing team were on the case immediately and agreed to take the kitten. Petra and the kitten duly arrived at Luxor's boat dock on Friday and we're met by some of the team (on their day off). The kitten was taken to the AWOL centre, along with Petra and her friend, where she was given a full check up and fed.

That is not the end of this little one's big adventure though! Petra wants to take the kitten back to Austria so arrangements are already under way. The AWOL centre is not the best place for cats to stay, being near a busy road and, although we treat a lot of cats, we have no other resident cats for this little one to socialise with. So the kitten has been transferred to Hurghada where she will be fostered at a small private rescue until she is old enough to travel. Check out our next post for the video of her in her foster home!
