Hi everyone,

I don't know why I didn't post about this before but as you may know already, Turkey has street cats everywhere. There are great volunteers who try to take care of them, take them to the vet, actively try to spay/neuter but their job got significantly more difficult when our economy started to go downhill. Currently 8,6 USD equals or 11 British pound equals to 1 Turkish lira. See here: Live Turkish Lira (TRY) Exchange Rates Today

At this point even little amounts from overseas could help. Vet medicines are mostly imported so they got really expensive too. You could contact these volunteers, or check the website of orgs if you like to send money but there is also sending pet food option. They are always in need of cat and dog food.

Here are a few:

İlknur from İzmir takes care of over 250 cats at home. They are mostly disabled, elderly, or in special needs in another way. She's also super active in spaying and taking them to the vet. (She has two sons by the way. One of them is studying at the vet school to be a DVM. How sweet that is!)

PatiliCanlar org goes to the neighborhoods cats and dogs have it the hardest and don't leave until they spay/neuter every dog. They are also active at the Turkey's parliament to demand more rights for animals.

And this organization CakBiPati. They have cats and dogs they take care of for years now at the places they rented. They also actively try to spay/neuter, and try to find them a home.

Finally, this woman volunteers at my mom's hometown. It's literally on top of a mountain (gorgeous place!). It's mostly farmers there with little income.
