I have a new print and it’s a new favourite of mine!
I am also very happy to say that each purchase of ‘Always Happy To Meet The Locals’ donates €1 to Let’s Be S.M.A.R.T. Animal Rescue — a wonderful Athens-based charity rescuing, sterilising, sheltering and rehoming cats and dogs worldwide.
This is a matter close to my heart, and one I have ongoing first-hand exerience of myself. Having lived in Greece for over 30 years, I can honestly say that the stray cat dilemma and the suffering of cats in Greece, is very much an ongoing issue.
But Let’s Be S.M.A.R.T. is changing that — one animal at a time. From hands-on rescue and TNR programmes to community education, this small but mighty team makes a genuine difference every single day. With nearly 19 years of experience, 1,000+ adoptions and 4,750+ sterilisations, they’re one of the most dedicated animal welfare organisations in the country.
This charity is making waves and helping so many cats, but as always, they need support of all kinds. Please follow their rescues on Instagram, YouTube and check out their website: www.letsbesmart-greece.org
Available in both A4 and A3 size, the donation will be given for both wholesale and retail purchases from our site. See website link in bio.
The A4 print is packaged with a sturdy backing card and the A3 is packaged in a sturdy but compact Kraft tube to ensure safe travels.

The sterilisation of stray cats (and dogs) has become noticeably more accepted in Greece. People are accepting more and more that this is a sensible and humane way to help curb the endless litters of kittens.
A little insight to everyday life in a few cat groups that I take care of with the help of others here in Kavala. These kittens were abandoned just 2 weeks ago. No mother and vulnerable.
2 sterilised females from a group of 20 or so cats. The conditions are not the best, but they are all fed and watered daily, have a place for shelter and are now all sterilised. So, in fact, they are luckier than many!
Outside a supermarket, these dogs would not have hurt this cat. They were all regulars there. This ca
