Help Us Save Them Before It’s Too Late

For five years, Turkey has been our home — and these cats became our family.

Every single day, without fail, we fed more than 20 street cats. We paid out of pocket to neuter 27 cats, knowing that sterilization is often the only thing standing between life and a brutal death on the streets. We did this quietly, consistently, and with love — not for recognition, but because no one else would.

Now we are being forced to leave.

And leaving means something unbearable:

we cannot save them all.

In Turkey right now, street cats are being rounded up and killed by government policies, or poisoned by neighbors who see them as disposable. Cats disappear overnight. Bodies are found in the streets. Some are never seen again.

These cats trust us. They wait for us. They know our footsteps.

And soon… we won’t be there.

We are trying with everything we have to save seven cats — including our American Bengal and several Turkish street cats who would not survive without us. There are three more cats we desperately wanted to include, but GoFundMe wouldn’t allow more photos. Choosing who lives and who stays behind is a decision no one should ever have to make.

But the truth is devastating:

We can’t afford this alone.

International transport, medical checks, paperwork, crates, flights — it is painfully expensive. Every cat we save costs thousands, and without help, they will be left behind to a fate we already know too well.

Our dream is not just rescue — it’s transformation.

We are bringing them to South Carolina, where we plan to open a Mediterranean-style Turkish tea house & cat café. A place where rescued Turkish cats are safe forever. A place where their suffering turns into warmth, tea, sunlight, and human kindness. A place where their story continues — not ends.

But right now, it’s a race against time.

Please help us save them.

Please help us give them a future instead of a sentence.

If you’ve ever loved an animal…

If you believe compassion shouldn’t stop at borders…

If you want to be the reason a life is spared —

Because for them, this is not a dream.

It’s survival.

Thank you for seeing them.
