Margo Animal Care Initiative · Artemida region, Greece

So Margo’s care can continue.

Margo cares for a large number of animals around Artemida every day. We organise support, document costs and share the workload across more shoulders — so that this work no longer rests permanently on one person.

How it began

How personal responsibility becomes a shared task.

Years ago Margo began caring for a few street cats around Artemida. A handful of animals became many. A fire destroyed the beach café she ran — the animals remained, and with them the daily responsibility.

Today she drives her rounds, arranges treatments and carries much of it herself. This is exactly where the initiative comes in: organising knowledge, disclosing costs, sharing tasks.
