Last time we were in Sri Lanka we left some routine flea and tick treatment with our good friend.
Sugaph, along with his daughter have been able to treat some of the dogs around his local community.
Dogs that are not around the usual tourist routes/ destinations often get overlooked so its great to have someone local looking out for them

Helping Paws have known and admired Turunc Cat Protection and Rescue Housing Association for many years. They are a Turkish registered charity that cares for the cats of Turunc and surrounding villages which includes a sustained neuter program of the community cats.
Unfortunately the municipality vet has left the area, leaving around 60 cats still needing to be neutered before spring 2025. If these cats are left then the program will be back to square 1 in no time.
The only option left is to have the remaining cats neutered privately but this is costly at around £100 per cat.
Through your generosity and donations from Sandra Gwynnes plant sales we are able to send £1000 to keep the program alive but need to find ways to raise the remaining £5000 before next spring.
Helping Paws co founder Phil Evans will shortly be embarking on a cycle ride across Nepal, Sri Lanka and Australia to raise funds for animal welfare and will be splitting any donations equally between Turunc Cats and Helping Paws to continue with programs in Nepal and Sri Lanka for the community dogs there. Please keep.a look out for his fundraising page coming soon.

Thankyou
