Paphos sanctuary has over 700 cats (PICTURES)

[Paphos Life]

Created out of concern about the welfare of the cats, the Ayios Neophytos Cat Park near the Paphos monastery of the same name has within five years become home to over 700 cats....

Here is one of the cats I rescued from the Cat Park four years ago, Mia, a Russian Blue, who was dumped as a kitten. Dawn and Mark plus all the volunteers are so dedicated to keeping the cats safe and warm (and cool). The last time I was up there Mark told me they had around 700 cats. They do a fantastic job and I've watched it grow from a bare car park to what it is today. Hearts of gold..........

doing such a brilliant job!

Some people may disagree.

I haven't a clue what the answer is, but what to do with 900 cats?????????

I know that the 3 or 4 that sh1t in our garden are unwelcome.

Hmmm....

But why? Couldn't they be let out to be cats again, as they are more than able to look after themselves (assuming they are healthy of course). I can understand neutering programmes, which are obviously vital. But why spend money on feeding them when it could be spent on more neutering?
