Istanbul Cats Overdose And How We Saved A Kitten

We loved our time in Istanbul, three full month to explore this mysteries, romantic and yet very modern city. But one thing changed my life as a photographer forever. Now, I can't walk by a street cat without trying to take a picture. It's really like an addiction and I swear, I'm more of a dog person. But I just can't help it.

Ready to concur the world

Istanbul is known for their street cats, they're well cared for even the dogs. People would feed them and each neighborhood as street animal workers making sure that everyone is staying healthy.

All the way down you can read how we saved a kitten. But now let me overdose you!

Above image shows the little guy was saved. We were looking at tulips at the Gülhane Park, that's what people do in Istanbul in the spring. We heard that desperate meowing kitten and spotted a tiny kitten on a little wall ledge. Somehow I pushed Mike up, there was a kitten, no mother and we had no idea how it got there. Later we learned that higher up the wall, the mother must have pushed im down because she couldn't take care of him and probably pushed him down.

In this video you can see us trying to reunite him with the mom but she had zero interest and would refuse to take him in again. Luckily the people working at the office of the Istanbul Archaeology Museums said they would take him in and making him their office cat. Sooner or later we're going to visit that little guy again.
