A 6.2 magnitude earthquake hit near Istanbul and was felt across the whole city.
We’re deeply worried and thinking of everyone and every living being in Istanbul, hoping that no stronger quake follows.
Emergency: Over 60 Cats at Risk!
A vital rescue project is on the verge of collapse — over 60 cats could be abandoned in the mountains. We need your help now to save them.
Animals and animal lovers in Turkey need us more than ever!
What is 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.
Love and Compassion…
Do you know how it feels to lose someone you love?
   Have you ever had a pet cross the rainbow bridge?
       Have you ever looked after a stray and felt like it was your own pet?
Â
 Precious Paw Patrons is not just a company name.
Our name is based on the idea that everyone involved is the ‘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.Â
