- Rizospaston Voulefton St. (next to Bernardis travel agency)

- San Rocco Square
- Temploni (2 feeding spots)

- Setting up feeding spot for cats next to the Old Fortress entrance at Kontra Fossa (Karvouniaris) in collaboration with the Fishinng Society.
- Acquisition of animal food so that feeding spots can be kept continuously supplied.
- Ensuring that members of animal welfare organisations have movement permission in order to feed stray animals.
- Management of stray animals via an integrated programme including sterilisation, vaccination, deworming, placing chips and sheltering them for a few days to try and get them adopted.
