my friend is a brown muslim bisexual woman who’s family has hit hard economic times. Fleeing the Netherlands at one point due to extreme islamophobia, they decided to return for better access to medical mental health care. moving is expensive, being pressured to move is even more expensive. all of this compounds with the current COVID-19 pandemic, due to strict border requirements my friends cat Skitty is currently stranded in Istanbul. they are currently in need of money to both bring Skitty home AND contribute to their family’s rent and grocery expenses while they resettle. If she cannot gather the funding Skitty will have to be humanly euthanized.
We can all empathize with the lonely feelings of the pandemic. i personally can say i wouldn’t have made it through this all this far without my pets, and i’m sure some of you feel the same. Emotional Support Animal doesn’t come close to explaining how important this little cat is to her. They have spent agonizing months apart (for the both of them!) and it would mean so much to have them reunited.

please dont stop though; turkey requires a pcr test for entry which is about a 100 euros, and netherlands requires both a pcr test and a rapid antigen test, so thats already over 300 euros gone. i need more for tickets, pet hotel costs, paperwork i need to sign at the ministery of forestry and agriculture, and taxis to get there and back to the airport again!!
