Algerian Veterinarian Massinissa Zeghouani, who volunteered for a year in Sinop with our European Solidarity Corps project, returned to his home today. Massi, who was our intern before, took care of our countless stray friends as a doctor with his compassionate hands. He treated and healed many cats and dogs living in the Sinop Shelter, the Gerze Shelter and the ones in the streets. He assisted the veterinarians of Sinop and Gerze Municipalities in their surgeries and had the opportunity to practice many surgical techniques (Ovariohisterectomy, hernia, traumatic surgery, amputation, etc.). He undertook numerous tasks such as infectious diseases, parasitic and fungal diseases, diagnosis and treatment of internal medicine, post-operative care, daily check-ups of patients and babies, cooking special meals for babies and patients, feeding 300 dogs and 50 cats in the shelter, and implementing emergency medicine and treatment protocols. He worked for animals in need of intensive and special care to survive in his own room. Thus, he worked full time (24/7) for our animals throughout his activity.
Massi also took part in all kermess and stall sales of our association. He developed products to sell. He worked hard for our association to survive. We would like to thank Massi for all his devoted work. We will miss Massi very much.
