SPAZ Events …. … learn about what SPAZ is doing |
General Bazaars - SPAZ has been fortunate to be able to use an empty store (temporarily) in Glyfada, at 41 Metaxa
St. for regular used-items bazaars. Donations are most welcome. See "What Can You Do" page for list of donations
needed. People to work at these bazaars are also needed.
Christmas Bazaar – SPAZ holds an annual Christmas Bazaar in the Cultural Center in Voula. This is a handicraft
bazaar and if you wish to rent a booth to sell your creations, contact Tzela Pagoni at tzela_spaz@live.com. Please
include a phone number where she can reach you to confirm your table rental.
If you wish to donate something to SPAZ’s white elephant table or international food café, please contact Joanna
Doulakis (see above).
Volunteer work is always needed and appreciated. If you can help out by working at the bazaar, helping to set up and
clean up, etc. or can help at the SPAZ car boot sales, contact Joanna Doulakis.
Raffle – SPAZ usually holds a raffle at Christmas Bazaars. For this we need good new items. Contact Nikki Clainos if
you have something to donate or are willing to solicit stores for gifts. nikki_spaz@live.com

| What have you done for a stray today? We know that our members are busy rescuing strays, feeding strays, neutering strays, looking after strays - what we don't know are the details! So we are asking our members to tell us. Send us a few sentences about what you did for a stray today (or yesterday), and we'll post it on our website! Perhaps reading about what you did for a stray might inspire someone else to do the same. Let's celebrate all the great things we are all doing for the animals!!

Tails from Greece, a Canadian animal welfare group that re-homes Greek dogs in Canada (195 to date) was featured on Skai's program - Para Trixa on November 20th. You can watch the program by clicking on the link below and then clicking on Para Trixa and then Nov 20th. It's a very interesting video and shows how lucky some Greek dogs are....and why some Canadians want to adopt them. http://www.skai.gr/player/tvli ve |
Why do cats get their ears clipped?
SPAZ has received a number of queries about why our vets are clipping cats’ ears when they are
being neutered.
SPAZ neuters stray cats and a clipped ear is an easily visible mark that shows a cat has been
neutered. Vets can tell if a male has been neutered but not a female and sometimes a female is
picked up and operated on by the vet before they realize she is already neutered. Males with
clipped ears can avoid being picked up a second time as well.
The clipped ear has been adopted by European animal welfare groups as the best way to identify
neutered stray cats. As we all know, neutered cats are healthier and more stable than un-
neutered ones and SPAZ members can point this out (drawing attention to the clipped ears) to
people who are less tolerant of strays and hopefully discourage them from harming them.
People who have cats at home may dislike the clipped ears but SPAZ’s program is for stray cats
not homed cats. Cat owners are of course encouraged to neuter their pets but not under this
program. The demand for neutering stray cats is so great that SPAZ is not able to extend the
program to include homed cats.
