We’re at 23%! I’m honestly so touched and incredibly grateful for every single one of you. Thank you so much for the support!
For those who don’t know my situation, I want to explain. In Turkey, military service is mandatory. You either pay 275,000 TRY (about $7,150 USD) or you have to serve for 6 months. Even if you pay, you still have to serve for 26 days.
If I go for the full 6 months, I’ll lose everything—especially my cat, Leo. He means the world to me, and I don’t have anyone who can take care of him while I’m gone.
Some people suggested putting him in a shelter temporarily, but shelters in Turkey aren’t in great condition—and they don’t let you take your pet back. If I leave him there, I won’t get him back. We only have each other. He’s the best cat anyone could ask for.
If I leave, I’ll also lose my apartment and my YouTube channel, which is currently my only source of income. That income not only supports me, but also helps me care for stray cats. Every year, I find homes for at least 50 kittens and cats. We’ve helped so many sick cats, TNR’ed over 60 cats last year, and fed thousands. I want to keep doing that. But without YouTube, I can’t continue helping as many cats as I used to.
I love making videos and helping cats. That’s why I need your help right now. I’ve helped hundreds of cats find homes, and now I’m just trying not to lose mine—especially Leo. If you’re able to, please consider supporting. Every bit makes a difference.
