**declaration that trustees have**
**had regard to the guidance**
**issued by the Charity**
**Commission on public benefit)**|We are dedicated to reducing the street cat and dog population through
our spay and neuter programmes to prevent unwanted cats and dogs of
tomorrow.
We aim to transform the quality of life for street cats and dogs by helping
neglected, abandoned and abused street cats and dogs via partnerships
with on the ground volunteers providing food, medical treatment, fostering,
boarding and finding loving forever homes in the UK, USA, Canada and
Europe.
**We achieve our mission by:**
**Grants**- Support volunteers on the ground by making donations enabling
them to provide food, water, treat and protect animals in their
communities.
We supply pet food to volunteers to feed animals dumped in the
mountains and remote areas where animals are left to die of starvation.
**Spay/Neuter**- Actively promoting and organising spay and neuter to help
reduce street animal population.
We educate and promote the benefits of spay and neuter to deal with the
root cause of street animal population. We support and enable on the
ground volunteers in their spay and neuter efforts by partnering with local
veterinarians.
**Protection**- Rescue cats and dogs from neglect, abuse, cruelty and
abandonment. We provide veterinary care, security and a safe
environment for those in need of protection.
**Treatment**- Funding life saving treatment for the sick or injured cats and
dogs and subsequently finding loving homes.
All animals that come into our care are tested for a variety of illnesses,
vaccinated, wormed and spayed or neutered.
The Trustees have given careful consideration to, and complied with, the
Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
We believe that street cats and dogs treated with kindness and
appropriate care, protection and shelter should be given.
We provide public benefit by:
-
Treating injured and sick street animals helps to control the
incidence and spread of disease and suffering through appropriate
treatment and vaccination benefiting both human and animal
health.
-
Helping to reduce street animal population by spaying and
neutering
-
Providing volunteering opportunities for those who wish to support
our work including people who feed cats and dogs on the ground,
fostering or organise transportation
-
Provision of cat and dog food supplies to those who wish to feed
animals in their communities
-
Promoting benefits of spaying and neutering in Turkey to help
reduce street animal numbers|

|Section D|Achievements and performance|
|---|---|
|**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**||
||Although we spent more than our income during this financial period, the
charity's overall financial position remains healthy, and our bank balance
is positive. We continue to prioritise feeding hungry street animals,
followed by providing urgent treatment to those injured or sick. Spaying of
female cats and dogs is prioritised for effective population control.
We have strategically reduced adoptions abroad in favour of helping
animals locally and supporting local volunteers in their efforts to create
better living environments for the animals in their communities. We have
successfully adopted over 5 cats in the USA and assisted our sister
rescues in finding homes for cats in the UK. The ban on importing dogs
to the USA and Canada remains in place, which has made it difficult to
find homes for dogs.
Our rescue vehicle has been a tremendous help in reaching animals in
remote places and distributing food. It has improved our ability to
distribute food effectively and transport animals to and from veterinarians.
The cost of veterinary care and the rise in pet food prices continue to limit
our ability to purchase more. At times, we have to ration the amount of
food animals receive, but we supplement pet food with leftover
collections from local restaurants and businesses.
Our shelters have proven to be very popular among dogs, providing
protection from the elements and creating a hub for the animals. We
have implemented a reliable water dispensing solution and feeders that
ensure food is available at any time of the day. These feeders were built
to minimise food wastage.
Overall, we continue to achieve our mission of helping street cats and
dogs in Turkey, thanks to the support of our dedicated volunteers on the
ground who are making a difference.|
