This blog was initially created to track my volunteer time at the Rome cat sanctuary in March/April 2008. That time has come and [sadly] gone, so after some thought, and rather than leave the blog idle, I have decided to record my trapping experiences whilst working with the various local Leeds cat charities.

Athens, First Cemetery cats
Went round the NC today.... always liked looking at the headstones and sculptures you find there. The First Cemetery of Athens (Greek: Πρώτο Νεκροταφείο Αθηνών) is the official cemetery of the City of Athens and the first to be built. It opened in 1837 and soon became a luxurious cemetery for famous Greek people and foreigners. I wanted to see how the architecture differed from English cemeteries. Very little green vegetation aside from alot of tall trees which made for some nice shadow-photo's.
Biggest impact on me... more cats. Again a good few kittens and most hanging around with Mum. One poor little black fella had a snotty nose, not looking like he's gonna get that treated - he is in the bottom of the foto with the Mum & kittens. A few quite skinny kittens, what the hell are these guy eating as there isn't much on offer aside from some pigeons that I could see and I can't see the visitors feeding them.
Saddest site was a young kitten sleeping in a plant pot. Alot of the cats I have seen so far at least 'look' quite perky and alert, this little guy just looked sad.....
