Hi there, this is my first post - it's good to find this form.
I travel to Marrakech frequently for work (I co-run a business running yoga and mindfulness retreats in Morocco) and on my last visit over New Year 2018/19, befriended a stray kitten living in the streets around the Riad where I was staying.
The kitten is around 4 months old, in good health (she had an eye infection when I was there, which, with help from my UK vet, I successfully treated with antibiotics) and with lots of potential to make a wonderful pet. By the end of my stay, I had developed a lovely bond with Sammy - she is affectionate and bright.
I am aware of SPANA in Marrakech and visited in whilst I was there earlier this month (January). However, I had a few concerns about taking the kitten, who I have named Sammy, to the SPANA centre - finding the cages in which they animals are held very small, and with no guarantee of finding her a good home.
My intention now is to a) ideally find Sammy a good home in Marrakech. Failing this, b) try to arrange for her to be homed in the UK. Either way, I am putting feelers out as to whether anyone on this forum based in Marrakech (or nearby) is looking to give a healthy kitten a loving permanent home, or knows someone who can.
When I return to Marrakech in March I intend to get Sammy neutered and fully vaccinated, and would also be looking to meet anyone seeking to give her a home.
My other question is to ask for recommendations for a reliable English-speaking vet.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for reading.
