<div>The Rescuer:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"The Stray Cat Sanctuary is a dream come true for me. A dream dating back years and years. One that finally became a reality in the spring of 2024.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm a British-Turkish animal lover who moved to Istanbul in 2012 with my two adopted cats, Kito-san and Maggie. It wasn't long before I rescued and adopted my third cat, Marley. Since 2012, I have rescued countless cats and nursed them back to health. Some I sadly lost along the way.
</div>
<div>The Stray Cat Sanctuary is home to over 60 rescue cats, most of whom have chronic illnesses and/or disabilities. I am also the proud mum to Princess, my rescue dog.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Stray Cat Sanctuary is a safe and peaceful place located in the beautiful wilderness of Mugla, Turkey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I run the sanctuary by myself and it is a 24-hour job. I am in desperate need of cat and dog food and donations to cover medical costs."

<div>The Rescuer:
</div>
<div>"I currently have 30 cats; most of which are disabled or have a history of FIP. 
</div>
<div>I also care for around 100 cats (!) and 3 dogs on the street in Mersin, Turkey.
</div>
<div>Whenever they are sick, I provide treatment and arrange for neutering."

Batman Animal Rescue Mersin

<div>The Rescuer:
</div>
<div>I live in Turkey and have been working as an animal rescuer since 2020. Initially, I used only my funds to care for stray cats and cover the costs of neutering them. However, due to rising expenses and the growing number of cats in need, I now rely partially on donations to help cover these costs. I also created an Instagram account to share my work and reach more supporters.
</div>
<div>To date, I have rescued over 50 stray cats, neutered 45 cats, and currently care for 7 cats living with me.

Sükriye - A handful of food

<div>Ayse is a rescuer in Kirklareli, Turkey. 
</div>
<div>She feeds over 50 cats in her garden and takes care of them; she treats cats for kidney failure and panleukopenia, and a few for FIP. Her district has no municipal veterinarian, so she has to get all her cats neutered at a normal veterinary clinic.
</div>
<div>Ayse also provides for another 30 cats in the building complex where she has lived in Istanbul. The residents won`t feed them, so she sends food to the caretaker. 
</div>
<div>Ayse also tries to help an unemployed friend with around 20 cats in her area.
</div>
<div>She needs around 53 kg of food a week.
</div>

Mirmirsu Animal Rescue

<div>The rescuer:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Hello, I am Sabriye Aldemir.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since March 2020, I have been caring for cats at the Marmara University Faculty of Theology in Istanbul; I provide treatment and neutering for them in that area. The university administration permitted me to look after the animals, yet the university does not have a budget for them.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The expenses have been covered mostly by myself, sometimes by my close circle of friends and family and very little by international support:
</div>
<div>I have to buy food (normal cat food and special needs food) for the cats. Sometimes, I take them to the Üsküdar municipality clinic for treatment. Sometimes, taking them to private clinics is necessary since the municipality clinic is insufficient for the cats` needs.
</div>
<div>Approximately 70 cats are currently living on the campus.
</div>
<div>I showcase these areas on my Instagram account. I have neutered about 60% of them. I neutered most of them at the municipality, except those requiring gas anaesthesia. Cat-loving students helped me distribute food and take sick cats to the Veterinarian.
</div>
<div>I am currently trying to raise 7,500 TL (approx. 205€) for a cat (the cat has been at the clinic for 25 days) that needs urgent ear surgery, a CT scan and tests. Additionally, I have a young cat patient who has been using GS capsules for 10 days. Due to financial reasons, I cannot take in 2 adult cats on campus that need medical treatment.
</div>
<div>Thank you for being so supportive.”

Duman Sakir Animal Rescue

<div>Alara is a dedicated animal rescuer who cannot walk past a sick animal without helping. Despite facing her health challenges, she does everything possible to save as many animals as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She cares for numerous cats and dogs in Istanbul and Isparta, Turkey with her mother and sister. In her home, she looks after 22 cats and one dog, while another 21 cats live in her garden. She is also taking care of a cat currently staying at a veterinary clinic, diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), as well as two blind cats in her house—one suffering from chronic bronchitis and herpes virus, the other from chronic sinusitis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alara and her family work tirelessly to save as many dogs as possible. In Turkey, dogs are especially vulnerable to abuse and killings. Since a new law was passed in August 2024, many municipal shelters have adopted a cruel euthanasia policy. At the moment, Alara is caring for several puppies suffering from scabies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At just 25 years old, Alara is handling all of this on her own—but she urgently needs support. To cover the veterinary bills for the animals she rescues, she relies on donations.
</div>

Alara Animal Rescue

<div>Hello, I am Ilknur from Mersin, Turkey. 
</div>
<div>I take care of the strays, provide food for them and -the most challenging part- try to give them the best medical care possible. 
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, Turkish animal lovers struggle with restrictions and economic problems like inflation and low wages. With every donation, you can help my cat "children" to be fed, neutered and treated properly if necessary. 
</div>
<div>Thank you.

Help Bambi survive

<div>The Rescuer:
</div>
<div>"Hello, I'm Sinem. I have been feeding street animals for 10 years every day. Whenever I see a sick or injured animal, I make sure it gets the medical care it needs. 
</div>
<div>I have been doing all this individually and voluntarily until recently, now I work as an official volunteer with Precious Paw Patrons.
</div>
<div>Running this volunteer work for many years on a private basis... now, I feel more confident that I can do even more good by working with an animal rescue organization. 
</div>
<div>We can carry out all operations officially; this means more trust and transparency to both our donors and volunteers. 
</div>
<div>Thus, when you want to support the treatment, care, and feeding of street animals, you can send your donations through our Rescue fundraiser link."

Sinem Pars Animal Rescue

<div>The Rescuer:
</div>
<div>"My name is Melek. I am 30 years old. One day, I adopted a cat, and my life completely changed. 
</div>
<div>For many years now, I  could not ignore the cats and dogs in need. I continuously feed them, and I take in those that cannot survive on the streets. Sick ones are sent to the clinic directly, and once they recover, I look for a home for them. 
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, I am going through a difficult financial period. I don`t get a lot of support; I try to cover everything from my pocket. The loans, credit card debts, and separate debts to several veterinarians...everything has become really challenging for me. 
</div>
<div>I will never stop helping animals, but I also want to find a way to pay off my debts without putting others in a difficult position."

</div>
<div>"Hello, my name is Birben, and I live in Ankara.
</div>
<div>I try to provide treatment for every stray animal in need of medical care in my area with my means. This is because no one in my neighbourhood takes care of them or even gives them food. I do my best to provide food, vaccinations, and neutering, but due to the conditions in Turkey, I cannot do it alone.
</div>
<div>I take care of a total of 40 "children" in my home and garden. Even the smallest donation you make can help save a child. Please consider participating in that way. Thank you for your support "

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to challenging economic conditions and the increasing number of severe cases, starting with my stray cat the late Blacky, I’m unable to cover all of my clinic debts on my own.

<div>Hello, Chain of Favour distributes food, provides treatment support, and cares for a considerable number of street cats. For those who cannot survive on the streets, we look for homes and care for them at home. Currently, we have 17 little ones in our house; many of whom are disabled. Covering their treatments, food, and all expenses can sometimes be challenging, and they need support. Additionally, we feed stray cats on the streets every day. 
</div>
<div>If you would like to support these innocent lives and the work we do, we would be very grateful because they cannot survive without us—they need our help.
</div>

Chain of Favour

<div>The Rescuer:
</div>
<div>"For 28 years, I have been helping cats in need on the streets. I have treated sick ones, raised orphaned kittens, and bottle-fed many newborns rescued from shelters whose eyes were not even open yet. I’ve found homes for many of them, but those I couldn’t find homes for stayed with me. Because of this, I have a large number of cats at home. I also care for
</div>
<div>others in the garden, on the streets, and in parks. Currently, I am feeding around 80 cats, some of whom are sick. I need support and help, both for food and for medical treatment. "

<div>The Rescuer:
</div>
<div>"I love all living beings very much, but animals are my children. I want them all to live very well and beautifully. I love them so much, and I want to see happiness in their eyes, not sadness. I wish I could save them all; I try to give the sick ones the treatment they need and I feed them regularly. 
</div>
<div>Please don't leave me alone on this path, because they are all our children."

Diamond Animal Rescue

<div>In the far east of Istanbul, Betül dedicates her life to the countless stray animals struggling to survive.

</div>

Betül Cute Cats

<div>Meral and her daughter have dedicated their lives to rescuing stray cats in the streets of Istanbul. In addition to their normal work-life, they feed, care for, and provide vital medical treatment to animals in need every day. Sick cats are taken to the clinic, and all are neutered to help reduce the suffering of future generations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their tireless efforts have already saved hundreds of cats. Among them were 18 diagnosed with FIP – a deadly disease requiring long, expensive treatment. Thanks to their dedication, many of these cats survived.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At home, they lovingly care for six disabled cats who would not survive on the streets.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your support, Meral can continue this life-saving work. Every donation helps cover food, medical care, and shelter for these vulnerable animals. Together, we can give them a second chance.

Precious Paw Patrons

<div>Precious Paw Patrons (3P) hilft bei und organisiert die Rettung von Tieren in der Türkei. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wir arbeiten als Team zusammen mit ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeitern, von denen manche einzelne Tiere retten, andere wiederum eine Vielzahl an Tieren versorgen oder sogar private Auffangstationen haben. Wir helfen auch Tierbesitzern, die Straßentiere adoptiert haben und es finanziell nicht aus eigener Kraft schaffen, Ihren Liebling zu retten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Die Regierung und die öffentliche Haltung gegenüber Tieren (insbesondere Hunden) in der Türkei macht es den Tierschützern nicht leicht. Außerdem haben alle mit der starken Inflation und der prekären finanziellen Lage zu kämpfen. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Precious Paw Patrons versucht, eine Brücke zu sein: finanziell, sprachlich, und kulturell. 
</div>
<div>Dabei versuchen wir immer im Namen für das zu handeln, was uns trotz aller Unterschiede alle eint: die Liebe zu den Tieren und der Respekt vor dem Leben.
