WAD 2013 presentation

1. A World Animal Day presentation by
Antoinette Timmers
founder of Animal Care Malta

2. Animal Care Malta is an officially registered non-profit voluntary organization,
dedicated to the welfare of the many stray cats in Mellie a.ħ
We are feeding and taking care of about 100 cats daily.
A lot of kittens are found, some of them with severe eye-infections and if they’re
not treated with antibiotics and eye-oinment they will end up blind, so we catch
them and take them to our shelter.
When they are completely healthy, we try to find good homes for them, but most
of them stay with us forever....

3. In september 2012 we rescued 6 little ginger
kittens.
Their mother was killed by a car so we bottle-
fed them and found good homes for them.
Four of them found a good home but two of
them came back to us last June because their
daddy couldn’t take care of them anymore.

4. In october Bro was found in a field in Qormi.
He was only 3 weeks old and had a very bad
infected leg which was a big worry because if it
wouldn’t heal it had to be amputated….
We took care of him day and night to save his
leg….
At first he seemed to be cured but when his leg
became more bended, we found out that he still
had a big infection inside the bones.
He was on medication until last June and on the
9th July he was operated on.
He has a straight leg now!

5. Elaine was caught in a colony in Mellie a.ħ
She’s blind and we decided to keep her here.
Stefanie was rescued from a shaft near the GO-
tower in Mellie a.ħ
We don’t know how she got in there but we
rescued her and kept her in our Catgarden.

6. Banjo was found in Naxxar as a little kitten.
We found a very good home for him.
Pippa was caught in a colony in Mellie a and is stillħ
with us because no-one adopted her.

7. Fuxa was found when he was only one day old.
He gave us a very hard time but he became the
most WONDERFUL kitten!

8. Fonzi and Gussy were found
with very infected eyes.
They are beautiful now but
still haven't been adopted.

9. Picolino was rescued from the Valley in Santa Maria
Estate.
He was only three weeks old and was in a very bad
state; he had very bad flu and his eyes were very
infected.
We took care of him day and night for almost two
months until he was adopted by a lovely family.

10. Ludo and Luigi were
rescued from near
Reflections in Mellieha.
They are very feral (wild)
so we can't home them
and they'll stay
with us.

11. Alex was found in a car engine in Mosta.
He was in a very bad state but became a beautiful
kitten.
He was always together with Picolino and they
were adopted together.
Their names are Zorro and Bernie now.

12. Zebbelina just walked in one day...
Most probably she was dumped here.
She's very friendly but is still looking for a good forever home.

13. Bobby, Bibi and Balou were found when they
were only 2 weeks old.
After bottle-feeding them and taking a lot of
care they all found very good homes!
