VETERINARY SERVICES: Updated May 2022
Our Greek vet Nefeli Damigou who has worked with PAWS since 2016, opened her own private clinic in September 2018. Another private vet practice also opened at the same time on Paxos in Fontana.
PAWS as a registered UK charity is therefore only legally allowed to treat stray animals on the island.
Nefeli supports PAWS and works at the PAWS clinic 2 days a month and also covers emergencies on stray animals.
She is an excellent vet and is always willing to help with any veterinary problems. She can be contacted on (0030) 26620 30204.
PAWS charity arranged for 2 or 3 UK vet teams to work at the PAWS clinic every year. These visits involve neutering and health checks of stray cats plus any emergency services. This work is in close co-operation with Paxos municipality.
DOG and CAT NEUTERING VOUCHER SCHEME:
PAWS introduced a dog and cat neutering voucher scheme in February 2020 where the charity donates towards the neutering of any privately owned dog or cat. Both private vet practices support the scheme and will offer a further 20 euros discount.
PAWS continues to improve its education programme focusing on neutering and help with the prevention and treatment of Leishmaniasis and other Mediterranean diseases.
