SPECIAL PROJECTS

There is a big special project on now which will be a big help to the strays of Avsallar: Dr. Osman is setting up a sanctuary, Gus O'Malley's Dream. The work has already started, but a good deal of money is needed to finish it, about 20,000 Euros. We need funding to fence in the whole walled area, making it cat-proof, and several individual buildings and fenced in outdoor areas to isolate and quarantine animals as needed. For example sick ones, and mothers and kittens. Above are some photos of our work so far - but just because it's built doesn't mean we don't desperately need your support.

Please donate what you can today, every little really helps!

There are 6 dogs and about 50 cats there now within their own areas in the shelter, see https://bit.ly/2ZVypnD. Many cats and dogs will need to be moved to the new sanctuary. We need your help more than ever. It is a race against time. Too many have already lost their lives while waiting.So please please please please help us to make this dream reality. We thank you in the name of all the voiceless strays who depend on us. Strays like Gus and Pablo and Pasha who will look down on their friends enjoying what they never had.

FLY OUR FURRIES

The sooner cats who have a home to go to have their fees paid, the sooner Dr. Osman İncekara can start their paper work and they can leave. Once they are on their way, they will also free up valuable clinic space, which will help rescue more cats.

There are always several cats who need their fees paid for their trips to the US, UK, or Europe. To help out, see https://www.facebook.com/groups/2254896078111657/

We need their flight costs from from Alanya to Istanbul, and then from Istanbul to their destinations.
Please send all funds to Mtoorkey@gmail.com, or https://paypal.me/MToorkey
Friends and family option please or PayPal takes a huge commission. Say Flight in the notes.

Help US neuter the cats!

- ONGOING -

Please send what you can via Paypal to tnravsallar@gmail.com

Sterilising cats is very important as it is the only way to keep the cat population from growing exponentially, causing many miserable deaths among mothers, mating toms, kittens and the general population due to the extra pressure on their territory when too many cats have to compete to survive. To find out more, you can visit our page on this website that explains all about our TNR mission. Please chip in to our ongoing trap-neuter-release efforts by donating to tnravsallar@gmail.com.

Thunderball - raise funds to help us TNR in a fun way!

Yvonne Sinclair has offered to help us by setting up our very own WEDNESDAY THUNDERBALL DRAW specifically to help fund our TNR (trap-neuter-release) programme.

This is a weekly draw of only 14 numbers costing £2 each weekly, with an ongoing commitment required.

If all numbers are raised there will be £28 in the pot.

This will then be split 50/50 weekly shared as £14 for the winning number and £14 for the TNR of Avsallar strays.

£2 per number (weekly commitment is required)
PayPal: mtoorkey@gmail.com

The chances of winning £14 are 14:1. This makes it an easy way to make a few pounds and covering some of the costs of TNR with a guaranteed £14 each week (if all numbers are allocated) to put towards much needed ongoing TNR efforts!

PLEASE NOTE:
In the event not all numbers are allocated, the amount raised will be split 50/50 with the winning number and the TNR fund.

If any unsold number wins, the TNR fund will be given the winnings for that week as if it had been re-donated by the week's winner.

£14 each week raised = £56 each month raised = £728 each year raised!

This weekly £14 may not seem like a lot to me and you but to the hundreds of strays it is £14 each week more than they had. It will go a long way to fund neuter/spay the kitties, helping to promote a reduction of unwanted and defenseless fur babies joining this cycle!
