Maramunda and her owner are both quite elderly and feeling the effects of advancing years! Her owner asked if we could take care of 31year old Maramunda and so we collected her on 18th January 2012. Bless her, she has foot problems and arthritis but with plenty of TLC, some medication and a nice rug to keep her warm she is already feeling a little more comfortable.

Georgie II is about 21 years old and, like Kykkos, belonged to a very elderly man – 90 years old! He was also a working donkey but due to his owner’s age, needed a bit more care. His owner asked if we could give him a home and we collected him on 19th January 2012. A little bit more weight and he will be perfect!

Kykkos was born around 1990 and has been a working donkey nearly all of his life. His elderly owner contacted us asking if we could take Kykkos as the donkey was now too old to work and his owner was finding it difficult to look after him. He has been well cared for and, after his arrival on 21st Dec 2011, is now out of his Isolation period and making lots of new friends!

Sixteen year old Tom was already known to us. Two years ago his owner contacted us asking if we could help sort out a problem with his donkey’s knee. Luckily we could and so Tom came to us for an operation and spent several weeks at Vouni recovering.

The name of our Museum & Educational Centre donkey is Ranger, which was suggested by a very kind lady in Salisbury, UK. She has been sent a lifetime adoption certificate of Ranger along with a red name collar which includes Ranger's and her name on it! Ranger is now wearing an identical one around his neck.
