“Yasam Animal Rescue was started over a year ago as a Rescue project by Melih, a university student from Turkey. It is named after the first cat, that he rescued from the streets, but he continues to help stray cats.”
Melih started Yasam Animal Rescue more than a year ago, when he found a very sick cat alone in the streets of Turkey. He named the cat Yasam and took her to the vet, where she was eventually diagnosed with ocular FIP. The treatment for FIP is 84 days long and very expensive, and as a university student, he didn't have the means to pay for it all by himself, so Melih decided to open an instagram page to try and collect donations to help cover the costs. He went on to rescue more cats with various conditions. Melih always tries to be very transparent on instagram, about incoming donations and all of the vet payments he makes, but still, it is hard to get noticed when instagram is full of pet influencers, other rescuers and scammers.
We are very happy that Melih has found us and hope to be able to help him continue his work as a Rescuer.
