Our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) project in Istanbul humanely traps, sterilises, vaccinates and returns street cats to their territories. By preventing unwanted litters, TNR reduces suffering, disease, abandonment and the number of kittens born into harsh street conditions. Donors help create healthier cat populations, reduce future rescue needs and provide a long-term, sustainable solution to the street cat crisis. One surgery can prevent countless future births and lives of hardship.
Istanbul's street cat population continues to grow due to uncontrolled breeding, leaving thousands of cats and kittens vulnerable to disease, injury, starvation and abuse. Our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programme addresses this by humanely trapping, sterilising and returning cats to their territories, preventing future litters and reducing suffering. Street cats, local communities and animal welfare organisations all benefit from healthier, more stable cat populations and fewer animals needing res
Our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) project tackles the root cause of the street cat crisis: uncontrolled breeding. By humanely trapping, sterilising and returning cats to their territories, we prevent thousands of kittens from being born into lives of suffering. Over time, colony sizes stabilise and gradually decrease, leading to fewer cats facing disease, injury, starvation and abuse. The project creates healthier street cat populations, reduces pressure on rescue organisations and provides a long-te
The long-term impact of this project will be a significant reduction in the number of cats born on the streets, leading to fewer animals suffering from disease, injury, hunger and neglect. As more cats are sterilised, colony sizes will gradually stabilise and decrease, reducing the need for emergency rescues and veterinary interventions. The project will create healthier, better-managed street cat populations, improve community welfare and provide a sustainable, humane solution to cat overpopula
