A Lifeline for the Cats of Istanbul

Turkey is home to millions of stray animals, many of whom are neglected, abused, and in desperate need of help. Driven by a deep passion for animal rights, our charity is dedicated to improving the lives of these beautiful cats in and around Istanbul.

Our team provides direct rescue, shelter, and critical medical services. We are committed to creating a safe haven for every cat that has been abandoned or forgotten, giving them the high quality of life they deserve while they await a loving forever home.

Our Core Commitments

Provide food, shelter, and medical care through donations and volunteers.

Educate communities on the importance of spaying and neutering.

Ensure every cat receives the love and safety they deserve.

Meet Our Cats

These special cats each have a unique story and so much love to give. Each one has been lovingly cared for and is ready to bring joy to your family.

I was found wandering alone in a quiet cemetery after losing part of my back leg. Life on the streets was especially hard once I became a mum, and I struggled just to survive. When I was rescued, I finally received the medical care I needed and experienced safety for the first time. I now live indoors, learning to trust, rest, and enjoy a gentler life.

Hi, I’m Jay

I turned up outside a vet clinic one summer, alone and badly injured. I stayed there for days, hoping someone would notice me. By the time I was rescued, I was in serious pain and very unwell. The damage to my body means I’ll need daily care for the rest of my life — but being rescued meant safety, treatment, and a chance to heal. Today, I’m comfortable, affectionate, and finally able to rest.

Hi, We’re Otis & Milo

We were just tiny kittens when we were rescued — both sick and struggling. Milo’s mouth was badly infected and he lost some teeth, while I (Otis) had a respiratory infection. With care, we both recovered and grew stronger together. We’ve always been side by side, and after everything we went through, we can’t imagine being apart. We’re playful, affectionate brothers who are now ready for a safe, loving home where we can stay together.
