Archie - paraplegic cat Archie’s Cat Sanctuary is a small, independent rescue in Greece caring for the cats no one else can — sick, elderly, injured, and long-term medical cases.

Founded in memory of Archie, our beloved paraplegic cat (2019–2023). We have 24 rescued street cats that have required urgent medical care and been nursed back to health; such as Archie who is paraplegic, Nelson who lost an eye as a kitten due to severe cat flu, Perrie who lost one leg as he was run over and our latest rescue Lulu who was found as an abandoned two-day-old kitten (now 10 weeks old). This page is dedicated to Archie who has taught us so much about resilience, during his short life as he battles infection after infection, undergoing major surgery and is now having major surgery again. Archie, our paraplegic cat desperately needs an operation. Archie is a precious little boy who is a lively loving cat, with a strong will to live. He was rescued at around three months old in 2019 on the Island of Poros, Greece. We don’t know if he was run over or was born like this. During his short life, Archie has had his share of health problems but has always pulled through. We know and love him as Archie our little fighter

Archie suffers from gastroenteritis, (and this is managed by providing a special diet) and Urinary tract infections (UTI’s). Due to constant UTI’s he underwent a perineal urethrostomy procedure in February this year. He has been fine until recently. Since early August he encountered complications from his early surgery resulting in an abscess on his leg, and he has been in and out of the vets for treatment including being hospitalized for a few days. Which we have managed to cover until now. At the moment Archie is at the vets waiting for his surgery, once his abscess has healed and is strong enough to undergo surgery. We cannot afford Archie’s operation and continued treatment. We try raise funds by having a stall or a fundraising dinner every few months, but due to Covid restrictions, we have been unable to do either. Unfortunately, we are now in a position where we have to ask for help with Archie’s operation and ongoing treatment not forgetting looking after all his rescued fur family. Our vet is very understanding as she knows that we help street cats, not only rescuing those in dire need but including sterilization programs and feeding but we still need to pay our bills regardless. Any donations however small will be greatly appreciated towards Archie’s care and to help us keep on top of the (feeding, worming, fleeing) bills. If you would like to donate, please send donations to Paypal: [email protected] - we are thankful for every donation to help us to help.

After a very long time Allsorts came home to be fed. She adopted the people at the plant nursery opposite the sanctuary. The person that feeds her must have gone away as she was super hungry - four plates of food in one sitting.

This little kitten was initially taken to our local vet, who suspected liver and kidney problems. The kitten was put on a drip and given antibiotics, but sadly, there was no improvement by the following day.

We then took the kitten to our regular vet for further investigations. A series of tests and X-rays were carried out to try to understand what was wrong and determine how best to help.

As we hadn't given the kitten a name yet, the vet nurse called her Beauty. It was a name she would be remembered by, even though our time with her was heartbreakingly short.

Sadly, despite every effort to find out what was wrong and help her, we lost this precious little life. 💔

The veterinary expenses included:

🩺 Blood tests: €125
🏥 Hospitalisation: €30

Total confirmed expenses so far: €155

We are asking for donations to help cover the expenses incurred while trying to save Beauty. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps Archie’s Cat Sanctuary continue caring for vulnerable cats and dogs in Galatas, Greece.

If you cannot donate, please share this post. Your kindness and support help us continue our rescue work and give vulnerable animals the care they deserve.

After raining all night and most of this morning the dogs pens at the campsite were completely wet and with no proper shelter the dogs were drenched. So Mattie, Marianne, Eleni and Brenda spent the afternoon clearing up feeding and walking them. Most importantly making sure that the dogs had some shelter.

Poor Aris has been through so much. On 9 October, he underwent dental surgery, during which all his upper teeth were removed. Afterwards, he was unable to eat and had to spend a week hospitalised.

Thankfully, after days of worry, Aris finally began eating again on Thursday.

We are so relieved to see him making progress. ❤️

However, his treatment has come with veterinary expenses, and we need your help to cover the costs.

💶 BREAKDOWN OF VETERINARY EXPENSES

+ Previous outstanding balance: €50 +Aris's dental extractions: €300
+ Wilma's veterinary visit: €40
+ Veterinary costs for Beauty, the deceased cat: €70

TOTAL: €460

Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us care for animals who have nowhere else to turn.

If you can help us cover these expenses, please consider donating. If you cannot donate, sharing this post could help us reach someone who can.

Thank you for standing with Archie's Cat Sanctuary and helping us care for the animals who depend on us. ❤️

Today was our first full day of the Trap Neuter and Release program with our amazing Danish vets. It was a very busy day with 56 cats sterilised. Well done ladies and thanks to all the volunteers who went out to trap cats Roula, Robert, Billy, Marianna, Math and Alexandra. Not forgetting the ladies that worked in the surgery labelling incoming cats (Jan, Voula, Mary, Inga, Mattie, and Brenda).
