Sterilization program
Trap–Neuter–Vaccinate–Return is the only long-term answer to street overpopulation that doesn't involve harming animals. It's slow, careful work. We've been doing it on the Mediterranean coast since 2019.
Every operation is photographed, logged, and reflected in our monthly report. Every cat returns to the exact place they came from, ear-tipped so no one traps them twice.
The process
01
We work with neighborhood feeders to count cats, identify ear-tipped ones already sterilized, and plan a calm trapping window.
02
Humane box traps are set at dusk and checked every 30 minutes. Cats wait covered, in quiet, and are transported the same night.
03
Partner clinics in Alanya and Antalya perform spay/neuter, rabies and parasite treatment, and an ear-tip — the universal sign of a sterilized stray.
04
Once safely recovered, every cat is returned to the exact spot they came from. Their colony, their territory, their life — only without more litters.
