In April 2019, my partner David and I saw an article in the Guardian about Leros, a quiet Greek island in the Dodecanese. At first sight, we fell in love with the beautiful neoclassical houses, and we bought one as a holiday home.
In August 2020, with another lockdown looming in London and the advantages of working remotely, we decided to move from London to Leros and make it our new home.
As cat lovers, we could not ignore the distressing conditions in which the street cats survive and often die. Being run over by a car is very sad but, presently in Leros, it is a quick painless death, often
ending a life of trauma, suffering, and misery.
