Op deze pagina vindt u projecten waarvoor de AMCF specifiek geld inzamelt en dit geld ook volledig overmaakt t.b.v. het project.

Begin januari hebben wij 13 opvangcentra aangeschreven met het verzoek om ons een project te doen toekomen wat zij zouden doen met 1000 euro. De 1000 euro zouden niet gebruikt mogen worden voor voer of dagelijkse kosten maar voor bijv sterilisatieprojecten, hokken enz. Twee opvangcentra hebben bedankt en wilden geen gebruik hiervan maken, zes hebben een project ingestuurd en vijf hebben niet gereageerd ondanks diverse emails. In eerste instantie was de bedoeling dat we alle 13 projecten (indien iedereen gereageerd had) op de site zouden zetten en dat mensen zouden kunnen stemmen voor hun favoriet. Hierna zouden de vijf opvangcentra met de meeste stemmen ieder 1000 euro krijgen. Echter doordat er nu maar zes gereageerd hebben, hebben we besloten om alle zes de projecten met 1000 euro te honoreren. Gedurende zes maanden zullen we, miv maart, elke maand een project in het zonnetje zetten. 
Het is echter mogelijk om nu al tm augustus uw favoriete project extra te steunen met een EXTRA bijdrage (dus bovenop de 1000 euro die ze zowiezo krijgen! Voor alle projecten zie hieronder. 
Rechts van elk project vindt u een slideshow en een downloadable file met uitgebreide informatie over het project.

My name is Marietta Stankova and and I am a diplomed vet in Bulgaria. I work only with homeless dogs and cats - I neuter/spay the animals, cure them if they need medical treatment and afterwards I return them to the places they belong to. I would like to create conditions that will make the castrations possible in my home because there is no shelter where I live.   
Respectfully,
Dr. Marietta Stankova

Mijn naam is Mariette Stankova en ik ben een gediplomeerde dierenarts in Bulgarije. Ik werk alleen met zwerfhonden en katten- steriliseer en castreer de dieren, genees hen als ze medische problemen hebben en breng ze terug naar de plek waar ze vandaan kwamen. Ik zoek graag een sterilisatie ruimte bij mijn huis maken omdat er in mijn omgeving geen opvangcentrum is.

24/2 Wow, what nice news!!!  We both with Marietta are so happy that her project is one of the won ones! It is great help for Marietta as well as the poor animals in the countryside where there is no vet surgery and nobody cures or makes castrations of the stray animals. Marietta will take some pictures of the place where the new surgery will be done … and of course when it is ready she will send photos again.
Betty, Sylvie, I would like to be much better with the words and to be able to explain you in a better way how much we are thankful to you! Your help is really very precious for us!
Many hugs! Love 
Rumi

update 20/4
Yesterday I received a mail from Marieta. She sent me some pictures of the bought materials needed for the repair of her surgery. I think some time ago I let you know that Marieta began working in one shelter where homeless animals are castrated. And now there are a contract between the municipality and that shelter for castrations of the dogs from the gypsy areas (where the reproduction of the dogs is really huge!). So Marieta is really very busy now with this project but I hope she will find time to begin repairing her surgery. As soon as I have more info from her I will let you know.
Thanks for your help!
 Love
 Rumi

update 30/5She began the repair of the operation room in her house. And it is in full swing … :) Hope that soon we will be able to send you pictures of fully finished operation room!
Betty, Sylvie, I want to say again – thank you very very much from the bottom of my heart for your enormous help! It is really very worth and well-timed! In the countryside, here in BG, it is a real problem for the people who live there to find a place where they could bring animals for castration … especially homeless ones. Thank you from my, Marietta’s and their behalf!!!

If we were to win one of the €1,000 grants we would use it to buy one or two new plastic sheds with shelves for the area containing our blind and special need residents. Currently we are home to approximately 15 blind cats plus 6 or 7 “special friends”. We have closed off a smaller section of our sanctuary and closed in the roof to make sure that our cats are as secure as possible. The cats in this area get on very well and love snuggling up together for a well earned sleep. The only thing missing is somewhere roomy and safe to do this.  

Als wij een van de 1000 euro schenkingen zouden winnen zouden wij een of twee nieuwe plastic schuren met planken maken als onderdak voor onze blinde en gehandicapte bewoners. Momenteel zijn wij een thuis voor 15 blinde katten plus 6 of 7 ‘speciale vrienden’. (Naast de 600 "gewone" katten)
 We hebben een klein gedeelte van het verblijf afgesloten en ook het dak, om er zeker van te zijn dat onze katten zo veilig mogelijk leven kunnen. De katten in de ruimte kunnen heel goed met elkaar opschieten en houden ervan tegen elkaar aan te knuffelen voor een verdiende slaap. Het enige wat ontbreekt is een grotere  ruimte die veilig is voor dat slaapje.

23/2 WOW that's amazing, I'm forwarding your mail to the guys in Israel so that they can start sorting the purchase of the sheds!! Thank you so much, this is AMAZING and you guys are AMAZING. As soon as we have more details I will forward them to you.
 Thanks again Excited regards
Sarah

update 29/5 They were all ready to purchase the new sheds when they realised the "roof" was too low!! So to make sure that we have enough height to fit the sheds we need into the area, they are in the process of raising the roof. This involves lengthening the poles that support the roofing material and then re-stretching the tarpaulin. As soon as they have completed this task they will purchase the sheds and get photos sent off to you. Thankfully the weather at the moment in Israel is hot, hot, hot so the cats are okay regarding sanctuary from the rain, wind etc. Valery has asked me to assure that the funds donated have not been used for any other use and will only be used for the purchase of the sheds as agreed. Obviously we want to get this project sorted as soon as possible but due to the amount of volunteers (or lack of :() it is taking longer than originally planned. Thank you once again for your patience and I hope that the next updated  you receive will be of the cats in their new sheds under a higher roof!!

update 1/10 Thanks for your mail. I will contact Valery again to see if there is any news. I know that the last time I asked him, he said that due to the height of the sheds they wanted to buy for the blind cats, they first needed to "raise the roof" as the sheds were too tall! I know that this work was being carried out but due to the obvious lack of volunteers it was taking longer than originally planned. Hopefully by now they may have completed this work. The finance we received from the AMCF will only be used for this project.
Time is an issue as we need to get the sheds into place and the cats acclimatized to them before the winter. I will check again and let you know what is going on.I appreciate that you the updates are very important and that you need the feedback to let the sponsors know how their donations have been used and I will make sure you receive the update and photos.

Thanks for your understanding.
Warm regards
Sarah

Not so quickly as we would like (because of deficiency of labor) but works come to an end
On the attached photos you can see that the most part of floor is already ready also a plastic house is already bought and waits for the assemblage, preliminary appointed on October, 15th
The quantity of blind cats at us has increased, because we don't refuse to any such cat a shelter Therefore the decision to use for blind in common two branches and new which we complete also the old was accepted
The next 2 weeks I hope to occupy blind in new branch and to send pictures

November 2011: two new pictures of the project (see on the right)

Something had to be done about the ever increasing numbers of cats in stray cat colonies. A cat neutering program was started. Funds had to be raised to help these feeders neuter their cats and humanely control their colonies. SASG started providing neutering vouchers, free of charge, to a number of feeders of stray cat colonies. Traps and cat boxes are also made available to facilitate the trapping of feral cats. Members of our team also provide aftercare facilities for the neutered cats. 

Er moet iets gebeuren met de toename  van zwerfkatten en zwerfhonden. We zijn begonnen met een sterilisatie/castratie programma.  Een fonds is opgericht om mensen te helpen hun katten te laten steriliseren om de groepen zwerfdieren te beperken. SASG is begonnen met het uitdelen van gratis bonnen aan een groep verzorgers van een zwerfdierenkolonie. Vangkooien zijn beschikbaar gesteld om het mogelijk te maken zwerfkatten te vangen. Leden van onze team zorgen ook voor de nazorg van de gesteriliseerde katten.

Below you will find an update of the project and to the right pictures.

Update April 2011:

Our team decided to participate in this competition with a double project. To put it shortly, it is a castration project which unfortunately for us has to be combined with testing the dogs for Dirofilaria. This way we will know which dogs are suffering from this terrible disease (in the chosen by us region) and they will be isolated and possibly treated. This is necessary because anaesthesia when done on a sick animal can lead to a fatal end. We are a Black Sea region, our area is surrounded by a sea and three lakes, as well as several marshes… This is the reason there are so many mosquitos, because of which during the last 2 years the number of cases of animals suffering from Dirofilaria have increased.

Onze team besloot deel te nemen aan de competitie met een dubbel project. Om het in het kort uit te leggen, is het een castratieproject dat helaas gecombineerd moet worden met het testen van de honden voor Dirofilaria. Op deze manier komen wij te weten welke honden aan deze vreselijke ziekte lijden en zullen ze worden geïsoleerd en waar mogelijk behandeld. Dit alles is nodig omdat verdovingen bij zieke dieren fataal kan zijn. Wij bevinden ons in de omgeving van de Zwarte Zee, die is omringd door een zee en 3 meren, zowel als meerder moerassen. Dit is de reden waarom er zoveel muskieten zijn, en daardoor hebben we in de laatste 2 jaar zoveel meer dieren gezien die aan Dirofilaria  lijden.

Update 18/4

We are sending current information about our project with attached photos.At the start we encountered some difficulties. It turned out, that in the selected for castration regions there is no proper room, such that will reach the veterinary medicine requirements, so we had to transport every animal to the vet clinic in
Bourgas where we treat all of our animals. On the other hand that’s better for the animals, because in the clinic there is equipment  and doctors can react in case of complications. Unfortunately this procedure creates difficulties for us – we have to provide transportation for each animal before and after castration....but we will manage!

So far we covered two regions and castrated 26 female dogs. We decided to spay female animals because of forthcoming mating season. We ran into difficulties to persuade some dog owners, who did not want to commit their animals for castration, even though it is free...To all dogs are made blood tests and dirofilaria tests. We treat al dogs with sprays against ticks and fleas and give pills for de-worming. There are many cases of Dirofilariosis, Еhrlichiosis, Scabby and etc... – owners do not want to take measures and we cannot just leave them...In some cases we have to treat and cure first, and then spay...

To our deep regret we cannot help to everyone and that shakes our faith! There are many places with difficult access, difficult to cross, muddy, dirty...

Despite all this we are extremely happy that we can castrate so many animals with your support!

 Greetings from our small team:)

Note AMCF: we have received over 120 photos they can be seen in the album of Burgas, at the right you will see a small selection.

If registered as a Greek charity we would be able to apply for local
government support for our neutering programme and receive help from other
organizations who are inclined to support registered charities. In addition,
official Greek charity status will greatly facilitate the organisation of
voluntary and private veterinary support, something much needed as the
island has been without a resident vet for many years. 

Als wij geregistreerd zijn als een Grieks liefdadigheidsinstelling  kunnen we ons aanmelden voor lokale  overheidsteun voor onze castratieproject en ontvangen we hulp van andere organisaties die welwillend zijn geregistreerde organisaties te steunen. Daar komt bij dat een officiële Griekse liefdadigheidsinstelling status  de organisatie zal voorzien van vrijwillige en particuliere veterinaire steun, iets dat heel erg nodig is omdat het eiland al vele jaren zonder inwonend dierenarts zit.

22/2 Girls! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Cannot thank you enough, you are very kind and will make a difference to our up and coming future. Thank you from the bottom of all my cats hearts xxxxxxx Sharon
