MEDITERRANEA - EVERYTHING YOU GIVE, THEY GIVE

Dr Michael Stoma, the Mallorca-based GP and president of the charity Mediterranea, was an inspiring guest on today's show (May 17). If you'd like to find out more about this non-governmental organisation, which provides direct help to make a big difference to the lives of many people, check out their website www.mediterranea.org.es.

All donations, however small, are a great help towards their work. It costs 20 euros to feed, educate and clothe a child in their care. The happy faces in the pictures on their website speak volumes . . .

ROBERTO NEEDS A HOME!

Could you give a lovely cat a safe and loving home? Roberto - a black and white cat who is muy guapo needs a new home. He was found stray a few weeks ago by the wife of the boss of Manacor vet´s Mon Veterinari, and has been cared for there since then.

Roberto is about 2 years old, gorgeous - well look at the pictures! - and very affectionate. He´s a real cuddle cat . . .

He´s been castrated and checked over by the vets. He does, unfortunately, have feline leukaemia, which means he can´t be rehomed with other cats (the disease can spread between cats but not between cats and dogs - and he gets on OK with dogs). He´s well enough not to need any treatment or medication at the moment, though those might become necessary at some point in the future.

I´d have him myself, but already share my home with a Birman cat, so it´s not possible. Roberto is so sweet-natured and is desperate to find a new home and owner. Could that owner be you?

Please call Mon Veterinari to find out more information on 971 55 42 65
