Our 2025 funding gap

Why your support matters now.

In 2025, our expenditure exceeded our income: we spent — for every CHF 100 raised, primarily on veterinary care, boarding and food. The shortfall was carried as an outstanding balance with our partner veterinary clinic, which stood at — at year end.

Through our fundraising campaigns, we have since reduced this balance by —, while continuing to settle each month's new treatments. To achieve this, we have had to significantly scale back our rescue operations, a decision that has been extremely difficult for our entire team.

Our teams on the ground, partner volunteers and fellow associations refer hundreds of animals to us: injured and sick animals in public shelters, where conditions have become so severe that survival is often less likely than on the street; animals in distress on the streets; and abandoned puppies. Declining these requests is the most difficult part of our work.

Your support allows us to clear our remaining veterinary balance and resume rescues at full capacity.

How to read these numbers

What we received and paid comes from our 2025 annual financial statements, prepared by Ultima Fiduciaire SA.
Vet bills still unpaid at the end of 2025 come from our vet clinic's statement of 9 January 2026. They are shown as their own line, converted from Turkish lira at the year-end exchange rate used in our accounts.
Direct animal care means vet care (paid and unpaid), boarding and food, shelter services, animal supplies such as collars and leads, and animal transport. In our accounts, shelter services appear as "third-party services" and supplies as "accessories".
Our board and volunteers are unpaid. In Turkey, we pay local staff to care for the animals at our Urla shelter; their pay is an animal care cost, not a payment to us.
Donations include gifts sent to us from abroad by bank transfer.
Pets in Turkey has been recognised as tax-exempt by the canton of Geneva since 2017.
