Healing Paws Animal Rescue is a small organisation helping the stray animals on the Greek island of Zakynthos. We are registered as a non profit organisation in Greece and we are proud to have achieved UK charity status.

All of our cats & kittens are very well socialised, living with other felines, many also share their foster homes with dogs and puppies. These lovely cats have been saved from abandonment in bins etc, being shot, poisoned and/or starved.

We have a lot of cats & kittens with us in foster, the minimum adoption fee is £150. The true cost to us, to cover the vet fees & transport fees is significantly more, however, as a charity, we heavily subsidise these to enable us to find their loving homes.

The vet fee covers vaccinations, the cost of the passport, microchip, flea and worm treatment, all of which are legal requirements to enter the UK.

ADDITIONAL information – Cats and kittens over 7 months of age will be sterilized. They will also be blood tested for Leukaemia & feline aids. These extra costs are difficult for us to cover as a small charity, so any additional donation to help us would be very much appreciated.

We have monthly transport to the UK HOWEVER THEY WILL REMAIN IN ZANTE UNTIL THEY ARE ADOPTED.

TRANSPORT - We are reliant on overland transport and have to be flexible as dates can change due to ferries, weather etc.
New owners need to be prepared to travel to pick the cat up. There are drops in the South on the M25 at Clacket Lane & Cobham. A Midlands drop near the M6 and sometimes a drop for the north closer to Manchester. The transporter will keep in contact with you and give you an estimated time of arrival but we ask owners to be very flexible on the day of arrival and be prepared for a later collection time as delays are sometimes encountered. Or indeed an earlier time as we obviously don't want the dogs & cats to be on the van any longer than necessary.

Please be aware we do NOT home our cats to people that live on BUSY roads unless they will be a house cat.
