Since she is too small to tolerate surgery, she is being treated with open wound treatment and antibiotics on her paw where the bone has come out.The inflammation was cleaned from the swollen area of her paw.

Kartopu was one of three kittens born to a mother cat who gave birth in the garden next door. On May 13th, I found her with an injured leg, her bone was sticking out of her leg and she had a wound. The baby was taken to the veterinary clinic and detailed examinations were carried out for treatment. She was too small and weak for surgery, so the vet opted for open wound treatment instead. Unfortunatley she died on May 20th, despite our efforts.
My name is Birben. I live in Ankara and have been trying to rescue and treat stray cats since 2014. Except for Oreo and Macaron, all my cats at home are spayed or neutered. I also try to treat and spay or neuter stray cats as much as I can. I feed cats in three different locations in my neighborhood. There are a total of 20-25 cats. I've tried to find homes for the healthy ones, but it's very difficult, or perhaps due to the situation in Türkiye, I don't give them away unless I'm completely sure. Many people in my neighborhood either inform me or leave sick or healthy cats in my garden. Therefore, including the stray cats and the care at home, we consume an average of 78 kg of cat food and 30 cans of cat litter per month. And I owe a total of 9000 euros to two veterinary clinics. The hardest part is the accumulated debt I can't pay and the fact that I can't reduce the amount of food I consume daily (2 kg) because I haven't been able to find homes for them. These two things are interconnected. Because my veterinary debt is so high, it's very difficult to cover the food costs. Because so much food and litter is consumed, I can only afford to pay very little to the clinic. I'm only trying to get support through Instagram, but I'm not getting as much support as before.
