ABOUT US
Turunç Cats Protection and Rescue Housing Association is a not-for-profit, legally registered Turkish charity. We aim to protect, rescue, feed, neuter & provide medical care to sick & injured cats & kittens in Turunç, Amos and Kumbulük. On the 8th September 2014 TCPRHA became the new name for Turunç Cats Welfare, when we became a Turkish Registered Charity. Our Official Turkish name i
s:
Turunç Kedileri Korumu, Barındırma ve Kurtarma Derneği. We are managed by a committee made up of volunteers who along with other dedicated volunteers, protect, rescue and look after the welfare the cats in our village in Turunç in Turkey. We operate trap-neuter-return program (TNR) which is the most humane and effective method for improving the lives of street cats whilst also controlling the street cat population. The cats are humanely trapped, taken to a veterinary for spaying or neutering, medically treated; and in most cases they are returned to the outdoor locations where they were found, unless the location is unsafe or inappropriate. The cats are released where volunteers provide them with adequate food, water and they can monitor them for any signs of illness and injuries. We also have twenty feeding and monitoring stations set up and are currently feeding 194 cats in Turunç. Our feeding stations enables us to monitor the health of the cats. Any cats or kittens who are unwell or have suffered a trauma are provided with veterinary care and are looked after at our rehabilitation shelter until they are healthy enough to be released. We also have a quarantine room where we treat sick cats and kittens, without infecting the cats in the main Rehabilitation Shelter. All new cats spend two weeks in quarantine to ensure they do not have any infectious diseases that they could be passed onto the other cats. How we Fund our Work
