Hi guys... I just registered here because I have a dilemma that's pressing on me pretty hard. I'm on vacation in Greece on the island of Corfu and there's this mother cat here who is absolutely skin and bones. I located four kittens... three healthy, one dead. They're being fed but the only thing in the bowl was bread, and they hadn't touched that. I snuck them some omelette from breakfast and they scarfed it down, so I know that even though they look very young they're old enough to eat solid food. Now I'm harboring unrealistic considerations about taking one home with me over the european train system to sweden, where I live. I know that if I leave it here they'll end up like the calico I saw... starving, neglected, and missing one eye. Technically, I could probably do it, since there isn't any customs control on the train system (loopholes! bwahaha!). But realistically, everyone tells me it's a bad idea. The cats have no owners and are simply tolerated around the village because they keep the vermin down. There's no rescue shelters that I've been able to find out about in Greece. Help! What shoudl I do?? Please reply soon because I'll be leaving the island in a few days. Thanks!

PS: email is [email protected]

will post pictures of the babies when I get back to Sweden

thanks for the input

Hey guys.. thanks for all the info and opinions. It really is a hard situation. I'm looking into the organizations found by Manjicou, but it's tricky since none of the locals seem to be aware of them! There's no vet in town but I'm talking to one of the local surgeons and see if he can get ahold of one. Deworming could be tricky.... men tack for ideerna, sarskilt dom om vilka sjukdomar jag behover kolla for. Jag skall forsoka gora mitt basta They really are precious... and now I've got other people at the resort/hostel feeding them. Maybe if I can make them into a sort of hostel mascot they'll be well taken care of even if I can't bring them with me. As for peace for my soul.... it sounds like a simple thing, requiring only a strong cup of coffee and a furry feline in my lap, but it can be SO hard to achieve sometimes....

Will keep you all updated.
Thankyou again!!!!
