Jack the lad, arrived by the river a few months ago looking so sad. He was very timid of anyone going near him to feed him and we also noticed he'd lost an eye - probably through fighting, as Tom often do. The lovely Maggie and Peter, who visit the cats regularly when they're over here, fell in love with him but all attempts to catch him failed.
So imagine our surprise when yesterday we learned from Elena, the receptionist at a vet clinic in Sta Eularia, that a very kind man had trapped Jack and taken him there for treatment. Elena said if he cannot be found a home then he'll continue to live out the rest of his life at the vets surgery as the resident cat. So lucky Jack Sparrow!
We went to visit him and, expecting to see him in a cage, we were most surprised to see him sat on a pile of clean towels like a king! He gave us a big yawn then a hiss as if to say "I am not going back to that river".
So a happy ending for Jack Sparrow - who actually looks a lot better now than in the photo. He may have only one eye but still seems to be saying "who's looking at you babe"!
We still don't know who the mystery man is that managed to catch him but we'd like to offer our thanks to him all the same.
So a fab ending for Jack. It really is heart warming when we continually hear about people all over the island doing their best to care for cats.
We'd like to wish you all the best for 2011 and thank you for your continued support.
Don't forget donations can be made online at the website...so it's easy peasy. ALL money donated goes towards the welfare of the cats.
