About us

Our Story

At Hope 4 Strays, we are driven by a single, unwavering belief: every animal deserves love, care, and a voice. As a volunteer-run animal rescue organization, we are dedicated to providing a better life for stray animals across the globe. Our work is a testament to the power of compassion, generosity, and community, with a collective vision to improve the lives of these vulnerable animals, one at a time.

Hope 4 Strays vs. Hope 4 Paws Alanya

Hope 4 Strays is the umbrella foundation based in the Netherlands, serving as the core of our global efforts. We are a registered foundation (KvK: 75295946, RSIN: 860227650) that collaborates intensively with other animal rescue foundations, local initiatives, and veterinarians worldwide. Our mission is to raise awareness, provide essential resources, and offer a network of support for international animal welfare projects.

Our primary operational arm is our daughter organization, Hope 4 Paws Alanya, located in the beautiful hills of Alanya, Turkey. It is here that our dedicated volunteers carry out the day-to-day rescue and rehabilitation work. Hope 4 Paws Alanya provides essential medical care, spaying and neutering, and temporary shelter. We follow the TNRC (trap, neuter, return, care) model to manage the stray population and strive to find loving, forever homes for every animal in our care.

Hope 4 Paws Alanya holds a unique and crucial specialization: the rescue and rehabilitation of handicapped and disabled cats. Currently, we provide effortless care for over 65 cats with challenging circumstances, including those who are blind, have a partial or full paralysis, are deaf, or have lost a limb. We are committed to ensuring these special animals receive the dedicated attention and love they need to thrive.

Our Mission, Vision, and Core Values

Our mission is to take as many animals as we can into our care, providing them with medical assistance and a path to a loving home. We envision a world where no animal goes hungry or without shelter. We will achieve this through education, the rehabilitation of animals, and our TNRC model, creating a better world for animals everywhere.

Our work is guided by our core values:

  • Compassion: We believe every life is precious and worthy of kindness.

  • Generosity: We give our time, resources, and love freely to those who need it most.

  • Realism: We approach our work with a clear understanding of the challenges, striving for practical and effective solutions.

  • Community: We are a team united by a common purpose, working together with volunteers and partners across the globe.

Hope for every paw, everywhere.
