October 12th, 2020 Still, the pandemic is a great issue. But we still planned to look after „our Andros cats“ in autumn, to prepare them for the next winter. This time, Jörg is traveling, again as a „one-man-show“, as he did also last October. Still exciting to the end…travel preparations…changed schedule of the ferries…negative corona […]
August 16th, 2020 Not long ago, Jörg visited Andros and now Lavinia and companion are already on their way to the island. Also a consequence of the pandemic, because the date in August was planned already and traveling before July wasn’t possible. And there is always something to do! At the intermediate stop in Athens, […]
PROLOG The journey in July was influenced by the Corona pandemic, which was not foreseeable during the planning process. As the organization started already in January, a long time it even was not sure, if it could go ahead as planned. Before starting with the travel report, let’s see how the big world affairs affected […]
We’ve got news concerning the food for our cats! On July 1st our “Chief of the Food Pallets” (CFP) Sandra reported: “Since yesterday an additional pallet full of cat food (250kg wet cat food, 230kg dry cat food), dog food (60kg) and some treats is on its way to Andros. So, the filling of the cat […]
Shortly after the thirteenth palette of food was shipped, which, like all the others, was to be delivered to our Greek friend S., we decided to also supply our new partners H. & I. with a pallet. The current pandemic is also affecting them. There are more cats at the feeding sites which eked out […]
This food pallet has cost us a lot of nerves! But read for yourself what our „pallet manager“ Sandra A. was reporting… April 1, 2020 First things first: Yesterday, on March 31, the food pallet arrived in Athens! How long it will take before the shipping company delivers it on the island is uncertain. But […]
Author: Dr Marianne Taatz-Jacobi Today it is the first anniversary of Marie’s death. We feel sad and reflective. We remember exactly how we have been racked by the news the next day. It felt unreal. Why would a young woman such as Marie was die so suddenly from one minute to another? There is still […]
February 14 & 15, 2020 It’s mid-February and it’s time to check if everything´s alright on Andros. This time Lavinia sets off again with her companions. And as always, we open the travelogue with a photo of the traditional „Andros suitcase“! It is stuffed with two boxes, medication, milk powder, parasite agents and other utilities. […]
On February 12 the twelfth food pallet reached Andros today. The pallet had already started on January 23 and reached Athens pretty quickly. However, the freight carrier only goes to the island once a week, so it took longer than expected from Athens to Andros. A total of 270 kg of canned food and 270 […]
The year 2019 was anything but straightforward. It was a roller coaster ride with ups and downs through and through. The first half of the year was mainly to cope with the loss of Marie and to reorganize ourself in order to continue the project she was raising up. This was achieved through will power, […]
