Standing with Manuela & You Can Too



Manuela cares for over 90 street cats and dogs, often walking for miles to provide food and any urgent medical care and where possible adoptions. In Avsallar cats are regularly poisoned and murdered and Manuela is their only hope.

People have spit on her and thrown things as she carries a 20 pound bag of cat food through the streets. She has pleaded with the mayor to stop his annual poisoning campaign and hosts spay/neutering clinics, working on her own, taking each carrier to the veterinary clinic. She sold her bike to buy more cat food which comes at a very high price of $30 a day. She’s completely broke but she can’t leave the cats behind.

Anyone interested in adopting, volunteering, donating or supporting Manuela in her mission is very welcome.

Make a donation to help:
We are raising funds to help support Manuela’s mission to feed, spay/neuter and provide emergency veterinary care for the animals around her. This is a significant investment and we would deeply appreciate any donations to help our small charity meet this need year round. You can also send donations to Manuela through Paypal at manuwroblewski@gmail.com.

To adopt or escort a cat or a dog on flights leaving Istanbul:
The search is on for responsible, loving homes for all the cats and dogs Manuela hopes to help in coming months. The costs of vaccinations, a crate for air travel, the flight and taxes brings the total cost of adoption for each cat to $300. Any serious inquiries may be directed to us at:
manuwroblewski@gmail.com
liaison@harmonyfund.org
adoptiontimeinavsallar@gmail.com


We’re also eagerly looking for travelers flying out of Istanbul to the United States, Canada or parts of Europe who can “escort” animals during future flights until adoptive families can meet them at the airport.
