Description/ Updates/ Pictures:

Update June 2026:
Lyra is a stunning young beauty, she adores people. She has a strong bond with her mom but is also integrated in our big girl group. She loves water and is an active young girl.

Update February 2026:
Now they are at the shelter. Lyra is about 1 year old.
They are safe and in our care.
What beautiful animals, happy to be together.
Although their lives were turned upside down, we are doing our best to turn it right side up again.
So far, so good. Erato is the momma (left), Lyra is the little girl (although she is as big as her momma, right).

“They live on a boat. Well, they lived on a boat with their owner. Their owner has become ill, has been hospitalized and can no longer care for them. The harbor police asked from the municipality to have them removed from the boat.
The harbor police had tried to contact me a few days ago but I had not had the time to get back to them. Today at the vet, although not accustomed to doing so, my vet asked me for help because she could not see this animal “released” on to the street. That was when she took me to where Erato was in her cage and I immediately recognized her!
She was to be released on to the street?This animal had always had an owner!
So I agreed to take her and her baby girl (who is on the boat as I write) tomorrow.”
