Animals and animal lovers in Turkey
need us more than ever!
Hearts for Paws – Your Calendar That Saves Lives
Our Hearts for Paws photo contest has turned into a very special photo calendar – full of animals whose gaze goes straight to the heart.
And the best part: with every purchase you help save a life and give animals in need a new chance.
Each image comes with a QR code that leads you to the story behind the photo – stories of rescue, hope, and the people who never give up.
This calendar is a monthly reminder of how much love can change a life.
The 2026 calendar is available now!

Have you ever had a pet cross the rainbow bridge?

Precious Paw Patrons?
Precious Paw Patrons (3P) is a non-profit, registered organization in Germany; we assist in and organize the rescue of animals in Turkey.
We work as a team with volunteers, some of whom rescue individual animals, while others care for a variety of animals or even run private rescue shelters. We also help pet owners who have adopted street animals and struggle financially to save their beloved pets.
The government's and society's attitude towards animals (especially dogs) in Turkey makes it difficult for animal lovers and rescuers. In addition, everyone is struggling with high inflation and the worsening economic situation.
Precious Paw Patrons aims to be a bridge: financially, linguistically, and culturally. In doing so, we always act in the name of what unites us despite all our differences: our love for animals and respect for life.
Precious Paw Cat-ering – Filling Bowls Together
What started as a World Cat Day campaign has evolved into a lasting initiative called Cat-ering. The concept is straightforward: we aim to fill bowls without requiring you to designate a specific project.

Precious Paw Dog-nation – Filling Bowls Together
In addition to our cat initiatives, we are dedicated to supporting the many dogs in Turkey. This commitment has inspired the creation of Dog-nation, a campaign focused on filling bowls without requiring donors to select a specific project.

Emergency!
Over 70 Cats at Risk…
A vital rescue project is on the verge of collapse — over 70 cats could be abandoned in the mountains. We need your help now to save them.
Precious Paw Patrons is not just a company name
Our name is based on the idea that everyone involved is a
‘Precious Paw Patron’:
those who rescue strays or their own pets,
those who support them,
anyone who cares for a life, whether it has four paws or stands upright on its legs.
