I got this in the mail today:
Hi friends,
>
>Today, I received very bad news: the cat shelter in Marmaris/Turkey is
>about to be destroyed within the next two weeks.
>
>This shelter is a private shelter, run by a woman named Jeannie. Soon
>after she went over to Turkey, she got involved in rescue work, starting
>with a male kitten that she named "Hayat" ("Life"). At present, she has
>about 240 - 250 cats living at her shelter. She had to move several
>times with her cats, until she finally found the location near Marmaris
>where she presently resides.
>
>Apparently, this shelter is to be destroyed now to make space for
>building projects. Turkish authorities don't care much for a cat's life
>and are prepared to pts any cats still living there. From what I've
>heard, any attempts to find another suitable location have failed so
>far. There are only two weeks left to find a solution!!!!
>
>You can find further info about the shelter at:
>
>http://www.marmarisinfo.com/kittycat/index.htm
>
>Right now, the only solution seems to mail the biggest Turkish
>newspaper, Hurriyet, and make them report about what's going on. This
>might help to raise public awareness. Please mail to:
>
>[email protected]
>
>You can either send individual mails or petitions.
>
>Please forward this on to anybody who you think will be interested and
>willing to help out. It's truly urgent!!
Please do what you can to help - email that newspaper in Turkey and maybe the local media where you live.
