If its going directly to the vet cheapest option is bank transfer.

You'll be hit with charges whatever way you do it.

If you pay using a nakit card then you'll likely get a poor conversion rate and foreign currency transaction fee - do they work outside Turkey now?  Never used to, but then I've never tried recently so may have changed.

If you pay by bank transfer, you pay a fee and unless you tick the box to pay ALL associated fees, the recipient is likely to be charged also.  Do it from a GBP account else there are even more charges for currency conversion.

Im pretty sure this relates to recent treatment of a cat she keeps an eye on Turkey.

No, it is her cat in the U.K.  It is a female cat and is 15 years old.  She had written quite a lot about her on F.B at the weekend and we were all told about the operation the cat needed and how she now has pulled through.
