"They first travelled to the island in September 2023 and found the mother cat, who had a very distinctive bulging eye that needed to be removed, Bethany Mulcahy-Stephenson, a veterinary nurse, said. When they returned to Crete for their wedding in May, they went to look for the cat, whom they had named Abba, and found her with four kittens and pregnant again. Two of the kittens had eye infections and one was blind."
"When we arrived at the Eurotunnel shuttle terminal, we got a text from Lida, our rescuer in Greece, saying: Bethany, the airline has lost three of the kittens,' and it was absolute panic. I immediately went into complete shock panic, just absolute bedlam, she said. We didn't know what was going on. We didn't even know where they were, if they [had] left Greece, if they were in France or if they had been left on the tarmac."
Bethany Mulcahy-Stephenson, a veterinary nurse, and her husband found a mother cat in Crete with a bulging eye that required removal during a September 2023 visit. Returning in May for their wedding, they found the cat, named Abba, with four kittens and pregnant again. Two kittens had eye infections and one was blind; the kittens were later named Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Frida. A local rescuer agreed to take the kittens temporarily, but permanent homes were needed. After veterinary treatment and vaccinations, the couple arranged air transport to Paris and planned to drive from Barrowford to Calais. Aegean Airlines allowed two cats in the cabin and placed three kittens in a crate in the hold. At a Eurotunnel terminal a message reported three kittens had been lost, causing panic; the kittens were later located after being flown from Thessaloniki to Paris but not unloaded in France.
