Orhaniye Aug. 2001
- November 2003
I am sorry everyone, since moving to Orhaniye, there has been no
update to the site 2 years!!! Where does the time go when you are
having fun!!!!!!!
It's been a very mixed 2 years. Impossible hard due to the location
in the mountains, no access road, only a good descending goat track
getting 15 kg bags of cat food down and equal amounts of waste out.
It's been very hard to work alone, and work alone I had to, because
it was too far and too difficult for people to come to help.
Electric and water has been unpredictable. But the place is
absolutely beautiful. Upper goat bay its called... layers and layers
of various shades of greenery.... breathtaking if it hadn't been for
the food, the land was too small (1,700 sq. meters) and the locals
hating the idea of a cat shelter in their midst it would be a
paradise for the cats.. When the sunshine and everything blossoms,
the work for the day surprisingly is finished and the cats have
enough food, one has a great feeling of hope.
On the other hand, during the winter, rain, black skies, no
electric, roof leaking and you don't know where the next days cat
food is coming, and you are alone!!! Then there is despair. |

ORHANIYE'S FOREST
FIRE JULY 2003
On the afternoon of the fire I was busy in the house when I noticed
an unusual lighting shining on the windows - thinking it was some
kind of eclipse I went outside . . . there's no way you could begin
to understand the shock and horror when faced with a blazing
mountain side in the lower end of your valley even now 6 months
later I couldn't adequately explain my feelings at that time apart
from numbed blind panic and the feeling of total HELPLESSNESS at the
hands of nature at her worst!
Click here for photo album
The wind was so crazy that day, changing direction every minute the
fire completely out of control was hopping all over the valley and
within minutes it was above us and 15 minutes later it was behind
us.
It was impossible to catch and remove 250 cats. Under normal
circumstances it took us about 18 hours to transport the cats from
the old shelter to the new one here in Orhaniye. There is no way
that I could let the cats free to find their own way out with the
fire closing in on all sides. We just huddled together and waited. I
couldn't leave them. Friends tried to persuade me to get out - I
couldn't!
After more and more firefighters came into the area and people and
their homes were out of danger, a few local men of the Jandarm came
and helped to cut trees around the shelter and wet what they could
with what little water there was in the stream.
Even with this inadequate help, these men gave me comfort and hope -
I couldn't thank them enough.
The fire came within 150 metres of the shelter before it came under
control. The firefighters and helicopters worked non stop for 3 days
before the horror was over.
It's something I pray to God that I never have to live through again
and through this experience I now have some good ideas for the new
cat shelter for fire defense. |

Having found a new place to rent in
Orhaniye, we had then to solve the problem of housing and securing
the cats. Once again, our Karin Potter from Germany and animal
society Hilfe fur Katzen in Not E.V. raised more than 10.000 DM to
pay for the new houses, fencing and posts. Karin since then is still
fundraising to find the money to buy land for the cats themselves.
If you can help please contact Karin by email.
The place in summer is a Paradise but winter was another story and
in the end we need a place of our own where we can let the cats be
free and not behind bars. This is our last chance for peace and
security. Please help all you can. |
