✨Adopted✨

Meet Birdie! We found this little girl outside a private hospital where thousands of people visit everyday. Someone was shooing her away as she tried to enter the hospital. According to a new government regulation it’s now illegal to feed stray animals outside hospitals.

This poor girl was curled up on the pavement all alone when we found her. She was emaciated, she had conjunctivitis and a respiratory infection. She received the treatment she needs and she’s all better now. Once discharged we were going to bring her to our feeding area but a couple from the UK fell in love with her and decided to adopt her!

She’s going to travel to the UK in 4 months time where she’ll join another former Turkish stray cat. We cannot wait to see her in her new home. What a lucky little girl😍

🎉We’re 1!🎉

Today we celebrate our 1-year anniversary as an official charity! Over the past 12 months, we’ve rescued, healed, and rehomed so many animals who now have the second chance they deserve

None of this would have been possible without YOU – our incredible community of supporters, adopters, volunteers and donors. Your kindness has turned despair into joy, fear into trust, and loneliness into family!

✨ In just one year, we’ve achieved together:

🐈 Saved over 120 animals
🐱 Prevented countless kittens from being born on the streets
🏡 Found loving homes for 16 lucky cats

Every pawprint on this journey carries your love and compassion💜

Here’s to many more years of changing lives – one rescue at a time🐾

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey🙏🏻

✨Grace fka Mutlu✨

Do you have a Grace shaped hole in your heart? This poor girl had a very tough time this past year. She spent months in a cage at the vets and then got adopted by a neighbour which only lasted 3 months before she was abandoned on the street. Sadly, it happened again in the space of 6 months! We’ve rescued her twice this year but decided to bring her to the office after she was diagnosed with Lymphoma on her leg. It doesn’t effect her as it’s just fatty tissue but it needs to be kept an eye on.

She’s one of 10 cats at the office at the moment and she’s finding it very stressful. We often find her meowing by the window.
So, she desperately needs a home of her own. She’s very affectionate with a little sass. She tolerates all the other cats but she’d do much better as on only cat.

She can travel as of 4 October but she doesn’t have a home yet. We cannot rescue more cats in need unless some of our current cats leave. When you help one cat, you’re actually helping two!

By adopting one of our cats, you will make room for another cat on the streets🙏🏻

Who would have thought an almost blind cat with a crooked head, a partially blind cat and a toothless cat from Istanbul would end ul living all the way in London together? They have the best parents we could have ever wished for them. And here’s what they had to say about adopting 3 Turkish boys from us😍

We are incredibly grateful to Help a Stray Cat for the amazing work they do in Istanbul, rescuing and rehoming stray cats across the UK and Europe. Over the past year, we’ve had the joy of welcoming three wonderful cats from them: Benji, Wesley, and Robin. Benji settled so quickly that we thought he would love a feline buddy, and Help a Stray Cat introduced us to his best friend from the cattery, Robin - so we adopted him. When Benji and Robin bonded so well, we knew we had space for a third cat, and Wesley soon joined the family. They all get on like a house on fire, each with their own unique personality, and they’re incredibly well-trained and well-behaved, especially considering their tough beginnings. Thanks to Help a Stray Cat, they’ve truly come back from the brink and brought immense joy and warmth into our lives. We’re so proud to be trusted by them, and we can’t thank them enough for the difference they’ve made.

Do you have a Jasper shaped hole in your heart? This gorgeous boy is our second white cat and he’s literally Albert’s doppleganger both in looks and character!

He can travel as of 4 October but he doesn’t have a home yet. We cannot rescue more cats in need unless some of our current cats leave. When you help one cat, you’re actually helping two!

By adopting one of our cats, you will make room for another cat on the streets🙏🏻

Jasper is incredibly affectionate and would benefit from an owner who works from home. He’s a velcro cat and loves being around humans.
