These are the three pillars of any rescue group:
– Rescuers
– Fosters
– Adoptants
For a rescue organization to work you need to have people willing to take on one of those responsibilities in a reliable and completely selfless manner. What we do, my friends, is not a hobby, is a mission.
The Let’s Adopt case sadly doesn’t fulfill that ideal model.
This is a group that has nearly infinite number of rescuers (in Turkey only and thanks in big part to our daily work, amplified by social media, we have a number of rescuers that grow every day. For the first time I can say that people are developing a conscience, stray animals have gone from invisible to very visible and many are willing to help )
We also have absolutely no problem finding homes for our animals. Having developed an international community that adheres to a particular ethos means that we can take on even the most complicated cases.
Paradoxically, and even if here is where most of our rescues come from, our biggest failure is Turkey, where we only have a handful of foster homes.
In other words, here we have a massive community of rescuers completely terrified of responsibility and happy to rescue as long as they can pass the animal like a hot potato onto someone else… and that someone else, until now it has mostly been me and an extremely reduced number of fosters in Istanbul. People that were not afraid of the temporary responsibility that entails to save a life.
Yesterday, one of our closest members and best fosters encountered an impossible personal situation and had to return her 9 beloved foster cats.
Most of those cats have families waiting for them.
We are in desperate need of temporary homes for these cats in Istanbul. They all suffered terrible experiences, they were all either abandoned or rescued, and we are now in a position where we really have nowhere to put them.
If you are reading this we need you to open your home temporarily to one or two of this animals.
Are you an animal lover? This is your chance to prove it.
