Our population management project on Syros began in 2019, with the long-term target of sterilising 95% of the estimated 3000 cats on the island through our collaboration with the We Live Together Clinic and Syros Cats.
In addition to the programme of sterilisation, there has been a focus on education to encourage local people to take responsibility for the stray cats on the island, with incentives like the Syros cat cafés: feeding stations in each neighbourhood where local volunteers can feed all cats in one colony.
