When the household landed in Athens and was able to board their subsequent flight to Munich, Germany, an airline consultant from Aegean Airlines confirmed Kopp the cat service the place Rodri had traveled in, and a big part of plastic on the highest of one of many carriers had been damaged off, leaving a gap large enough for a cat to get by way of, and the service was empty.
Rodri was {a partially} blind avenue cat that Mary Gomes Kopp and her husband, Alyssa’s stepfather, rescued within the Greek island of Crete, the place they’ve a home. They take care of about 60 stray cats and Rodri was present in a pile of trash.
CNN studies that Kopp advised them, “We caught her, and took her to the vet, who closed [her missing eye] rather well, however he stated that her second eye was already turning white, and that when she was older and was able to be neutered, it’d be higher to fly her to Germany to an animal hospital, not only a vet.

How Rodri Went Missing
At Chania airport, a consultant for Aegean Airlines checked the paperwork and cleared the animals for the flight. The household had paid $390 for the three cats.
After they had been proven the damaged service with Rodri lacking, neither Chania or Athens airport would take duty.
