THE TRAP KING VISITED GREECE TO HELP GREEK STRAYS!
From May 10 through 20, 2022 the U.S. celebrity and #1 cat influencer/rapper Sterling Davis, known as the “Trap King,” visited Greece to join forces with our Let’s be S.M.A.R.T. and lead a national awareness campaign, educating local communities about the importance of TNR (Trap Neuter Release) and compassion for both felines and people.
Davis is a nationally renowned Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) expert, advocating for the spaying and neutering, which is the only way to humanely control cat overpopulation. He is the founder of TrapKing Humane Cat Solutions -TrapKing Inc, an animal welfare nonprofit in the United States. He also is one of the only African American cat rescuers in the world, and was also a professional rapper for many years before he dedicated his life to stray and feral felines.
The program of the “Rap to Trap” event included:
-
TNR missions in Varkiza, Saronida Megara, Hydra island
-
Community and children events in Kalyvia, Varkiza resort, Athens, Hydra island
-
Charity/Auction Fundraising Gala in Varkiza resport with the participation of the Mayor of 3V (Vari, Voula, Vouliagmeni) and the representative of the U.S. Embassy for the U.S. community in Athens who awarded the Trap Queen and the Trap King of Greece
-
Meeting wits with government leaders and community influencers
-
Collaboration with local NGOs (Nine Lives, Greek Animal Rescue, Friends of Strays of Greece, Cats of Thission, Hydra Ark, Love Without Borders), rescuers, veterinarians and animal welfare advocates
With a total of 176 cats being sterilised and 4 different community and children events being held, we feel that our mission “THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY” was successfully completed!
It was a pleasure having Sterling and his team here in Greece and we hope to collaborate more in the future, to continue our mission for global awareness and education.
