Hope 4 Strays

They call them the “impossible” cases. We call them family.

For the past nine years, my husband and I have devoted our lives, home, and hearts to the cats others have abandoned—the paralyzed, the blind, the amputees, and the deeply traumatized. Today, we are home to over 80 special-needs residents. To ensure they receive the expert medical care, daily physiotherapy, and specialized attention they need to survive, I even trained and certified as a veterinary assistant.

Recently, we faced our biggest challenge yet. We secured raw land to build Alanya’s very first dedicated disabled cat sanctuary before our current lease expired. Sadly, building a specialized haven from scratch—complete with accessible facilities, water, and electricity—takes more time and funds than we could gather, and we missed our June 30th construction deadline.

Because homelessness would be fatal for cats this vulnerable, we had no choice but to stay in our current rental to keep them safe. But safety came at a steep price: a lease extension with a soaring, inflated rent for the next year. Every extra euro we are forced to spend on rent is a euro taken directly away from concrete, pipes, and their permanent home.

But we are not giving up. The dream is delayed, but not defeated.

The land is waiting. Our vision for a smart, sustainable, modular sanctuary remains unchanged:

A Professional Clinic & Quarantine: For critical care, daily medical treatments, and safe recovery.

A Weatherproof Enclosed Sanctuary: A temperature-controlled, clean space designed for paralyzed and fragile cats.

A Secure Garden: A protected outdoor haven where tripods, amputees, and blind cats can climb, play, and feel the sun without fear.

How you can help for just €1 a month:
We cannot build this alone, but we don't need massive individual donations to make it happen. We need a community.

By joining our Teaming group, you are pledging just €1 per month. On its own, €1 buys very little. But when hundreds of us stand together, those single euros turn into the bricks, fences, and clinic walls our cats desperately need.

Please join our Team today. For the cost of a single coffee a year, you can help us survive this year of high rent and build a permanent, safe forever home for the cats who need it most.

Thank you for refusing to give up on them.
