Help Turkish FIP cats & other strays in need

Donation protected
Hi!
My name is Ece. I am a long-time cat and dog rescuer, and I am trying to raise funds to help two independent animal rescuers in Turkey.

First is Esen. She lives in Bursa, and she works with a few other independent rescuers to feed and take care of the medical needs of numerous homeless animals. From FIP cats who need expensive treatments to survive, to mama dogs who have been abandoned and forced to give birth outside, to stray kitties injured on the street, Esen and her rescuer friends try to fundraise and spend tons of effort and time to help animals in need. Their vet bills are very high, and they are behind in payments. To continue their rescue work, they need financial support. In addition to many other cases, Esen is currently getting four FIP cats treated: Bal, Boncuk, Safinaz, and Sosis. In Turkey for each FIP cat the 3-month long treatment (daily FIP shot cost only) costs about $1,750. Esen works with veterinarians Erol Turan and Eren Sahin from Vetorka Clinic. I am including a photo of their business card, as they are willing to provide further info for anyone interested in finding out more about the treatments and/or the cost. (I can provide the Instagram pages Esen uses to report the progress of the FIP cats, just ask me.)


The second rescuer is Ozge from Adana. She is currently taking care of one FIP cat, Inci, and several others, including an anemic mama with newborns who has a tumoral lump under her tongue. Additionally, she supports Sirine and Karamel's treatments. Sirine is another FIP stray kitty, and Karamel is a stray doggy whom the rescuers found in a near-death state and continues to be in critical condition. Ozge also supports other rescuers work, does a lot of feeding of the strays, and takes care of the medical needs of any strays she can afford. She tries to raise funds to keep up with the never-ending vet and feeding bills. Ozge and her rescuer friends work with Dr. Dilek Cuhadar at Lina Veterinary Clinic in Adana. Vet contact info is included as a photo. (I can provide the Instagram page Ozge uses to report the progress on the FIP cat, just ask me.)



I am adding here a photo album link showing photos and videos of Esen's and Ozge's rescue work. The kitten whose photo I am using as the cover photo for this campaign has heart disease and is starting her treatment just now.

I hope you can lend your support to these rescuers in whatever capacity you are comfortable with.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, for helping and/or sharing. Very much appreciated. It takes a whole village to do rescue.
Ece, Esen, Ozge & the animals they are trying to help.
