✨Kitlers Legacy✨

In light of the sad passing of our beloved Kitler yesterday, we have been asked by both members of FOP and Rhodes Strays to organise an official collection towards a permanent memorial within the resort.

Kitler was a fixture in Pefkos for over 15 years and even after his retirement, he continued to entertain us with his antics. The outpouring of love and affection for Kitler is such a heartwarming reflection of the kind nature of our visitors towards our feline friends.

After discussions with Rhodes Strays, and considering the hundreds of visitors who had selfies with Kitler, we would like to create a memorial statue of Kitler that people can continue to have a picture with along with a permanent and secure collection box, so that Kitler’s legacy will live on in continuing to feed and care for the strays of Pefkos.

We haven’t decided anything firmly and will also need to seek the appropriate permission in order to make this happen. The starting point will be to raise money to see what we have to work with. If you would like to make a donation towards Kitler’s legacy, you can do so here:

Bank transfer

Lloyds Bank
Victoria Grant
Sc 77-29-06
a/c 25191668

Paypal – Friends & family option

[email protected]

We will keep members updated regularly with progress and would like to sincerely thank every member that has expressed their love and support to Rhodes Strays and their work in resort.

We have some sad news to share with you today. Our old boy of Pefkos, the legend that is Kitler, purred his last purr this morning and crossed rainbow bridge.

Despite facing health issues in his twilight years, he has always rallied and has lived a peaceful, if not somewhat spoiled retirement, with the love and care of Andrea at Rhodes Strays. Just last week he was receiving visitors, playing and of course being mischievous. This morning, he decided, in typical Kitler fashion, he was going to go his own way. He passed peacefully, purring away, whilst being comforted by Andrea. He was not in pain but it was clear to her, that he was ready.

This old boy has touched the lives of so many by just being himself, making it clear that Pefkos was HIS territory, but he was ok with visitors and was even happy to pose with the starstruck amongst us. But he has also become an icon and thousands of euros have been raised, by the awareness that he has created for the stray cat community of Pefkos.

He will always remain an Icon to us and is symbolic of not only the beautiful creatures that grace our beloved Pefkos, but also the love and care that is showered upon them by locals and visitors.

Rest in peace old boy, hope you find a great sunbed to poach x

Regarding the new private transfer information request.

Yes they need the lead passengers passport number.

Yes they need the lead passenger’s father’s name!

The latter has been a thing in Greece forever! It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak to your father, if your father has passed away etc. On any papers in Greece I’m listed as Victoria daughter of Stephen.
My mam, Sandra daughter of Joseph, my dad, Stephen son of Maurice.
It’s just what they do.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with it. It’s just a rule you need to abide by when booking a private transfer.
Same as if you had to log something with local police, you’d have to give the same!

🎉🎉🎉 FOP Raffle for Rhodes Strays Fundraising (winter feeding programme) 🎉🎉🎉

We are excited to advise that as a result of an incredibly kind donation by one of our fantastic FOP members, Heather Milner, we are running a raffle for a prize that most of our members will absolutely love.

Heather was lucky enough to win £200 vouchers to spend at The Real Greek Restaurant. The Real Greek have restaurants across England and Scotland, with several restaurants throughout London, along with restaurants in Newcastle, Norwich, Solihull, Southampton, Manchester, Gloucestershire, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Essex and Bournemouth - https://www.therealgreek.com. Vouchers are valid until December 2024 and can be used in any of their restaurants.

We are offering 4 prizes of £50 vouchers (5 x £10) and each raffle ticket is just £1 – you can buy as many as you like and we would ideally like to raise at least the value of the vouchers to be able to donate to Rhodes Strays – anything extra will be a bonus.

We will run the raffle from today until 10th December and do a live draw in the group of the 4 winners, on the evening of the 10th December. Vouchers will be posted out the following day (in time for Christmas )

Here’s how to purchase your raffle tickets:

Send payment in £ to paypal at [email protected] / (friends and family option) or via bank transfer to Lloyds Bank - Victoria Grant Sc 77-29-06 a/c 25191668 – 

PLEASE CHECK CORRECT PAYPAL ACCOUNT AND DON’T SEND TO THE PREVIOUS HELENFOP PAYPAL AS THIS IS A € ACCOUNT.

then

Pop us a message or email to let me know how many tickets you have purchased – I will then confirm receipt of payment and issue you your raffle ticket number.

This is such an amazingly kind gesture from Heather, and we are so grateful to be able to get involved and support such a fantastic cause.

Good luck
