Bidik Animal Rescue
After retiring from teaching, Tülin dedicated her life to caring for street cats in the small town of Muğla/Bodrum. She feeds, treats, neuters, and looks after these animals, adopting some of those she has rescued. Currently, she lives with 17 cats in her home, cares for 16 cats on her balcony, and feeds approximately 30 cats on the street. Among her house cats, two suffer from chronic kidney disease, one has glaucoma, and another has stomatitis, all of which require lifelong medication. Additionally, one of her cats is undergoing treatment for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) at the clinic. As her expenses for medical care, food, and clinic visits have increased, she felt it necessary to raise donations and opened an Instagram account to support her efforts. Thank you for your valuable support.
An old cat came to my door as a patient… Spartacus was treated at the clinic for a long time and has chronic kidney failure; his medications are expensive. I had him neutered and brought him home, and he will spend the rest of his life with me in safety and taken care of very well.
Lori`s ocular FIP treatment is finished, but he has glaucoma in one eye, and the treatment will continue for the rest of her life. If the medication is not given, the eye could protrude. I had a chip implanted and registered Lori under my name.
Fred was left in the clinic’s garden in July with a head trauma and a femur fracture. He was 1.5 months old. I had his surgery and treatment done, and Fred has been living with me ever since.
A rescue story –
Romeo, the abandoned purebred
The project manager about Romeo:
“Romeo is a Siamese cat that I found on the street. He was very skinny, and his bones were visible. When he approached me, it was clear he had once had an owner because he was very affectionate.
While I was petting him, I noticed he was both thirsty and hungry, indicating that he hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for days.
Since I was alone, I couldn’t record a video while putting him in the carrier, and I worried he might get scared and run away.
We went to the clinic, where the first step was to check for a microchip to see if he had an owner. It turned out he did have an owner, but their phone number was no longer in service. We realised that he had been abandoned.
Despite having debt at the clinic, I decided to prevent him from being sent to the shelter, as that was the procedure. Unfortunately, going to the shelter would likely have meant death for him.
At the clinic, they performed biochemistry and hemogram tests. His liver values were poor, and his teeth and ears were in bad shape, along with signs of infection. Treatment began immediately. However, due to his prolonged period of hunger, dehydration, and the stress of being abandoned, the vet suspected he had FIP. A coronavirus titer test was conducted, and sadly, the diagnosis was confirmed: he has FIP.
The treatment process will be lengthy. I appreciate any support during this time, and I will ensure that everything necessary for his treatment is taken care of. “
