Biyikli Animal Rescue

The Rescuer:
“I found Biyikli (Engl.: Mustache) sitting on the hood of a car in 2020. He was very cold and hungry. Of course, I took Biyikli home immediately and fed him.

When I found him, he was very small, not even 2 months old. We took him to the vet the next day and got him checked. Biyikli was now living in our house.

2 months later, he got FIP disease, unfortunately, the vet could not diagnose it immediately. The FIP diagnosis was made about 20 days later in another clinic. We started GS immediately. The dose given was not high enough because the infection had passed the brain barrier.

It was very difficult for 6 months, another medicine came from abroad and thanks to that, Biyikli regained its health. It is a miracle that he survived. I could not find Biyikli during the earthquake in 2023 for 5 days. The house was badly damaged and despite that, I entered every day and found him on the 5th day.

I am very happy to be its mother.
I promised I would fight for other children with the page I created for Biyikli.”
