Did You Know?

We are offering private visits during opening hours, by appointment. We are also open to emergencies.


Money received from private visits goes solely to Happy Paws to be able to continue this great service to the STRAY animal community.

 

Happy Paws Charity Organization strives to be a service to the STRAY animal community in Malta and to the people who care for them, by providing free neutering, through membership of our organisation, in our own Veterinary Clinic, promoting our stray dog adoption scheme and various other programs. Apart from our resident Veterinary Surgeons, it is completely run by volunteers.
We finance the organization by operating 2 charity shops, through sponsorships, donations, our Rainbow wall and fund-raising events.

Happy Paws is a registered and recognised non-profit NGO (VO 0119)

Welcome Victoria

With our ever growing neutering and treatment waiting list, it became clear we needed to expand our team and employ an additional Vet.

We are very proud to introduce Dr. Victoria Bondin as our latest addition and we wish her many happy days in our clinic.

Our Turkish Friends

We would like to send our greetings to our Turkish friends Zeynep, Mehmet, Mustafa and the other Mehmet, Vet students who volunteered with us till recently via a European Volunteer Exchange program. We wish them a Happy future, successfull studies and hope to meet them again in the future.

Neutering

Dear Members, when bringing in cats for neutering, please take note of the following guidelines:

  • 12 hours before surgery - NO FOOD.  
  • 6 hours before surgery - NO DRINK.  
  • Cover cage with light cloth and provide bedding.  
  • Put a sticker on the cage with the name and the color scheme of the cat.

What a wonderful opportunity to watch such a beautiful bird from close by. Very quiet en almost royal in its appearance.

Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie (right) and Clyde, the huskies adopted by young inmates at the Corradino Correctional Facility, came to the clinic today for their second vaccination. 

Accompanied by Major Martin Schembri and Silvio Ronayne.

How gorgious these two dogs are, very friendly and very loud. They were communicating with a  new friend upstairs, who probably was complaining to them that his owner took his time to collect him. We were told that life with the inmates suits them, apparently they are spoiled. Taken for walks four times a day, washed once a week, and not to speak about the tidbits they must receive from their forty odd owners. A "dogs life" indeed.

And.....

Over 40 much appreciated volunteers are now working with us in various capacities.

Since reopening the clinic with our new Vet, we have performed  over 3000 medical interventions, from neuterings to emergencies.

These emergencies included other animals such as bird of prey (broken leg), ferret, rabbit (removing gall stones), an abandoned mouse with eye problems and many others.
