Last month RVN Naomi flew out to the beautiful Greek island of Karpathos. Naomi met up with volunteer vets and nurses from all over the world on a neutering campaign led by Animal Welfare Karpathos, Veterinary Global Aid, Greater Good Charities and the Greek Cat Welfare Society. The programme lasted 4 days and over 300 cats were neutered! All cats received health checks, parasite treatment and emergency surgery where needed. Naomi attended a similar programme last March and is looking forward to the next!thevetwhitehaven.co.uk#thevetwhitehaven #neuteringcampaignandawareness #animalwelfarekarpathos #veterinaryglobalaid #greatergoodcharities #greekcatwelfaresociety ...
