This young dog will be going to Germany when his three-month waiting period is over.

He has already been prepared for travel, but he still needs one more parasite treatment and a special collar to protect him from leishmania — a terrible disease carried by sandflies, which are everywhere on the Mediterranean coast.

The cost for this is 2,000 TL / £32.

Donations towards his treatment and protective collar would be greatly appreciated. Every little bit helps keep him safe until he can travel.

A young male cat has decided to settle at my neighbours’ house. He is friendly, and he has now been successfully neutered at the local shelter.

Unfortunately, my neighbours are not happy about having a second cat around, and they are threatening to dump him somewhere away from their house. This means he is on borrowed time.

He is neutered, friendly, and looking for a safe place before something bad happens to him.

If anyone can offer him a home, please get in touch.

This street cat was booked in at the local shelter for treatment and spaying, but before her appointment, her condition got much worse.

She had not eaten for days, so I called the shelter and asked if they could take her in early. Unfortunately, there were no vets there to help her at that time, so I had no choice but to take her to a private vet. That visit cost 3,000 TL / £48 — money from my already limited funds for the animals in my care.

In the end, she did get to the shelter. They removed a crooked tooth that had been stopping her from eating, and she was also spayed. During the operation, an abscess in her ear burst, and blood and infected fluid came out.

Thankfully, she is now back on the land next to my apartment and is eating again.

Because she was so frightened at the vet’s, she appeared more alert than she really was, even though she was still very unwell.

Donations towards her private vet bill would be greatly appreciated. Every little bit helps.

This cat appeared outside my apartment a while ago, so I started feeding him. The next morning, he was still in exactly the same spot. I could see that he was very scared, and I felt sure he was not a normal street cat.

I took him to my vet, and we discovered that he was microchipped. He had been reported lost more than two years ago.

He needed to be neutered and also needed some teeth extracted. His owner agreed to pay for this. However, after the operation, he started wobbling and falling over. At first, an ear infection was suspected, and treatment was started.

Sadly, his condition did not improve, so I asked for full blood work. The tests showed that he has a serious infection. I cannot remember the exact name, but his treatment has now been changed accordingly.

The blood tests and new treatment have been added to my bill. This is an extra cost for me, and I really need donations to help cover it.

This poor cat survived on the streets for more than two years. He deserves every chance to feel well again and to find a safe, loving home.

Please help me help him.

Jane hasn’t received any donations for months, and in truth, she has only ever received a handful.

She looks after nearly 80 of us on her Turkish pension, and she is really struggling to give us the life we deserve — food, vet care, safety, and for some of the lucky ones, the chance of a forever home abroad.

Love saves lives, but rescue also needs money.

Every bag of food, every vet visit, every operation, and every journey to a safe home has a cost.

Please help her continue this work. Every donation, however small, truly helps.
