Seeking support for a worthy cause

med_cat: (cat in dress)
A year ago now, my friend [livejournal.com profile] lindahoyland adopted a ginger and white kitten, Filipos Apollo, via a cat sanctuary on the island of Syros, in Greece.

The Cat Sanctuary on Syros that arranged Filipos' adoption is seeking supporters who will donate the price of a cup of coffee a month. 4 Euros or $5. Less or more is also fine. They do wonderful work and everyone who signs up will get a signed poster featuring Joan's artwork. (Joan is the lady who runs the sanctuary, she is a professional artist).

And yes, I have signed up!

The sanctuary has become famous recently, when Joan advertised the "paid job with cats"--if you do a Google search, you'll see her job ad and her sanctuary has been featured by many major newspapers and TV stations.

However, sadly, fame does not equal donations and even the smallest amount helps.

Filipos is an amazing cat and it is heartbreaking to think he could so easily be living rough in Syros, or worse--dying unloved and alone at the roadside.

This is the FB page for the sanctuary, God's Little People: https://www.facebook.com/godslittlepeople/

If you are not on Facebook and want to know more, just let me know.

The donation link is here https://1l.ink/W6D3WRR

You can also contribute by buying some of Joan's greeting cards from her Etsy shop. I have bought them more than once and can personally assure you they are very good quality, and shipped quickly!

Filipos would love more cats on Syros to have happy carefree lives.
