Agence France Press did a short report which barely scrapes the surface of a complex topic of cats in Turkiye, present and past :

"Istanbul’s “strays” aren’t forgotten cats have shared this city since Byzantine/Ottoman days.

Locals feed them like neighbors.

A gentle tradition"

Inspiring for ideas of how to help cats in the cold using coolers

[cheap ones can be found at almost any thrift store, but the blue ones look prettier, in my opinion]:

"When the winter snow began to fall, she couldn't help but worry about the colony. She had spent weeks preparing, turning simple coolers into weatherproof shelters by cutting side entrances and stuffing them with warm, dry bedding.

Returning to check on them, she was met with a sight that warmed her own heart: every single home she created was occupied.

In the middle of the biting cold, her ingenious little "apartments" had become a sanctuary.

The cats emerged from their cozy entrances, their eyes reflecting a quiet gratitude for the simple miracle of warmth and food she provided. "
