Helping and Doing Good
Animal welfare: most fulfilling activity for many expats. 1.5 million stray cats, thousands of dogs. Organizations urgently need: money, time, foster homes. Fastest way to new contacts and making a difference.
Organizations
Cyprus SPCA (largest, Nicosia). LAWS (Limassol). Cats Paws (cat TNR). Dog Home Foundation. Paws Pafos. Tala Monastery Cats. All welcome volunteers.
The section on "Helping and Doing Good" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.
– Cat lover from Hamburg, in Limassol since 2022
How to Help
