A PERMANENT SOLUTION IS OUR LONG-TERM
SAVING LIVES CANNOT WAITE
Every day, stray cats in the Side–Manavgat area of Türkiye depend on food, veterinary treatment, medication and safe temporary care.
Our immediate goal is to raise €6,000 to help secure three months of essential support for the cats already depending on us.
This includes food, foster care, veterinary treatment, medication, vaccinations and emergency assistance.
Every donation, however small, helps us continue.
THE CATS BEHIND THIS CAMPAIGN
These are real cats we have helped in Side.
Their stories are the reason this campaign exists.
A LIFE THAT CHANGED OUR APPROACH
She was a healthy young kitten living in Side with her mother. Another kitten nearby had undergone surgery and needed continued post-operative treatment, and in trying to make sure that care could continue, both kittens were moved to a shelter environment.
Tragically, it was this little one — the kitten who had appeared healthy — who did not survive.
We cannot say with certainty what caused her death. But losing her profoundly changed the way we think about rescue.For us, helping a cat is not simply about taking her off the street. It also means reducing unnecessary stress, carefully managing health risks, providing appropriate separation and creating safe, quiet places where vulnerable cats can recover.
Her short life changed the way we approach rescue and care today.
Sasha was taken to a veterinary clinic, where he received the immediate care needed to stabilise his condition. Once he was strong enough to leave the clinic, we arranged for him to move to a foster home — a quieter and safer environment where his recovery could continue.
He then began treatment for FIP.
Sasha has now been undergoing treatment for approximately two months.
His journey is still ongoing, requiring daily care, medication, monitoring and the commitment of several people working together.
Sasha's story illustrates something we encounter repeatedly in street-cat rescue: saving a vulnerable animal rarely depends on a single intervention. It requires someone who notices, someone who asks for help, veterinary care, a safe place to recover — and the resources to sustain that care for as long as necessary.
For Sasha, that chain of people created a chance that he might otherwise never have had.
Help Us Continue Their Care
Sasha is only one of the cats currently depending on ongoing support.
Every month, we help cover food, foster care, medication, veterinary treatment and emergency needs for cats who would otherwise have very limited options.
Some need only temporary support. Others require weeks or months of treatment and recovery.
Your donation helps us keep saying "yes" when the next call for help arrives.
Over the next three months, we aim to raise €6,000 to help cover the care already underway for vulnerable cats in Türkiye.
Your donations will help support:
The exact balance between clinic and foster-care costs may change depending on each cat's recovery, but every donation will be used directly to help sustain their care.
Our 3-Month Goal
€6,000
Every contribution matters. Even a small donation can become part of the chain that gives a vulnerable cat another chance.
HELP US GIVE THEM THE NEXT THREE MONTHS
YOUR HELP KEEPS THEM SAFE
Rescue does not end with one meal or one veterinary visit. Cats in our care need continuity — food tomorrow, medication next week, a safe foster place for as long as necessary and emergency treatment when something suddenly goes wrong.
Our €6,000 campaign is designed to provide approximately three months of that essential continuity while we continue working toward a permanent solution.
A small donation can become food, medicine, treatment or a safe place to recover.
