The Kalymnos Cat Project is a volunteer program focusing on education and Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) to manage the overwhelming stray cat crisis on the island of Kalymnos, Greece.

Another busy week of TNR work on Kalymnos!

Trapping, vet visits, sterilisation and finally returning the cats to their familiar surroundings.

It's a lot of work, but every sterilised cat means fewer unwanted kittens and a better future for the street cats of Kalymnos.

A big thank you to Animal Action Greece for supporting the sterilisations taking place from now until the end of the year.

And thank you to Worldwide Veterinary Services for providing us with new equipment, as well as the equipment donated back in 2024.

And of course, thank you to all our amazing volunteers who make this work happen!

One cat at a time.

🇬🇷 Greece, sunshine, the sea… and cats! 🐈

If you've ever visited Greece, you've probably noticed that cats are everywhere. Sleeping in the sunshine, wandering through little villages, or waiting hopefully beside a taverna table.

They're part of the charm of Greece, and for many visitors, part of what makes this country so special. ❤️

But behind those lovely holiday moments, life isn't always easy for the cats.

Here on Kalymnos, many street cats depend on a little help from people who care. Food, medical treatment, sterilisation, or sometimes simply someone noticing a cat in need.

And that's where you can make a difference, even from thousands of miles away!

🐾 Every new follower helps us reach more people.

More people to spread awareness about street cats and the importance of sterilisation.

More people who might offer a loving home.

More people who can share a post when a cat urgently needs help.

And more people who simply care about making life a little better for the cats of Kalymnos.

Following our page, sharing our stories, or inviting a friend who loves Greece and cats can make a real difference.

Because the more people we reach, the more cats we can help. ❤️

So, if Greece has a special place in your heart, and so do cats, we'd love you to join our little community!

Love Greece? Love cats? Follow Kalymnos Cat Project and help us spread the word!

💛 Thank you for supporting the cats of Kalymnos!

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated and supported the Kalymnos Cat Project by purchasing our T-shirts. 🐾

Over the past 8 months, we have received €475 in donations through the donation box at www.climbrock.gr in Massouri.

Every donation, big or small, helps us continue caring for the cats of Kalymnos – providing food, veterinary care, sterilisations and help for cats and kittens in need.

Behind every donation is someone who has chosen to help. And we want you to know that your support is seen, appreciated and makes a difference. ❤️

Thank you for being part of this work with us.

👀 Some of you may have noticed that, alongside Kalymnos Cat Project, you have recently started seeing another name: Friends of Kalymnos Cats.

And if you’ve been thinking, “Wait… what is this other organization, and which one should I donate to?” – we thought we’d explain.

Kalymnos Cat Project (KCP) is a project of the French charity Les Chats du Mercantour, founded by Leslie Frasier.

In 2026, Friends of Kalymnos Cats was established as a new American charity working closely with KCP.

The two charities have separate boards of directors, management and finances. We work closely together, with many of the same volunteers, toward the same goal: helping the cats of Kalymnos and Telendos and making a long-term difference.

Our work includes sterilizations, veterinary care, helping sick and injured cats, feeding and caring for cats, arranging adoptions, working with local people and veterinarians, and promoting cat welfare and the importance of sterilization. ❤️

And yes – your donation still helps the cats here on Kalymnos and Telendos.

For new donations, the two charities have agreed that donors from France should donate to KCP through Donorbox. Donors from all other countries can donate to Friends of Kalymnos Cats through Zeffy. Donations may be tax-deductible for US donors, while French donors have their own tax-deduction possibilities through KCP.

All existing monthly donations from donors in every country will continue to go to KCP through Donorbox.

So, if you have supported Kalymnos Cat Project before, don’t worry.

There may now be two names, but we work closely together toward the same goal: helping the cats.

Thank you for being part of this work. ❤️

One of our volunteers has taken this little one into their care, and he is now getting the help and care he needs. 🐾

Thank you to everyone who reached out to find help for him. ❤️
Thank you to our volunteers for being there when help is needed.
And thank you to all our donors – you make it possible for us to help cats like him. 🙏

If you’d like to support our work, you can find more information on the Kalymnos Cat Project page. ❤️

Hello, we are Hanna and Tero!

We are a Finnish couple and we live permanently here on the small island of Telendos.

We have been volunteering with the Kalymnos Cat Project whenever our own schedules have allowed, and along the way it has been a real pleasure to help the cats, learn lots of new things ourselves and meet some truly wonderful people. ❤️

Now we have also promised to help with the Kalymnos Cat Project’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. So from now on, you’ll be seeing a little bit of our work here too.

The cats have, by the way, managed to sneak quite firmly into our yard and into our lives here on Telendos.

Perhaps the sweetest survival story is little Petri. Petri was brought to us when he was only about ten days old, and we took him into our care. During the summer, this tiny little scrap of a kitten has grown into quite a big boy!

Our hope is to find Petri his own permanent home later on.

During the autumn, we also want to introduce you to some of our other active volunteers and tell you a little more about all the things we do together to help the cats. Because there is quite a lot going on here besides taking pictures of cute cats. ❤️

And hey – do you have a real cat fan in your circle of friends? 😻
Tag that person whose phone probably contains more cat pictures than anything else!

The more people who find us and follow the Kalymnos Cat Project, the easier it is for us to reach new volunteers and donors when needed, and to share information about the lives of street cats and the work being done for them here in Kalymnos and Telendos.

Late-night cat releases! 🌙🐱

The work of our volunteers is never quite done. We’re trapping and releasing cats at all hours to ensure they receive the vital care they need, including sterilisation that helps improve the welfare of Kalymnos’ cat population.

Here, Kalymnos Cat Project founder Leslie is joined by Karen and Imogen as they release sterilised male cats near a local shop and supermarket, ready to return safely to their familiar territory.

A huge thank you to everyone who gives their time and energy to make this work possible. 💙🐾

This is what feeding cats in Kalymnos looks like 😍

Long before the island wakes up, our volunteers are already out filling bowls, checking on familiar faces, and making sure no cat is left hungry.

For hundreds of stray cats, these meals are not a treat—they are their only chance to survive 😔

Every bag of food you help us buy means another hungry cat can eat today. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference 🙏🏼

💙 Please support our project and help us keep going: https://donorbox.org/kalymnos-cat-project-2026

Because every cat matters !

31/07/2026

Today is the last day to make twice the difference ! 💙

Until midnight, every donation to Kalymnos Cat Project will be matched, doubling its impact for the cats who need us most.

Every euro helps us provide food, veterinary care, sterilisations and a chance at a better life for the stray cats of Kalymnos.

If you've been thinking about supporting our work, today is the best day to do it ! Here is the link to contribute : https://donorbox.org/kalymnos-cat-project-2026

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with our cats. 🐾💙
