Selcuk Bayal and a few other volunteers can’t stand seeing the poor kitties wandering around the snowstorm, they decide to take care of all of them.
When the temperatures dropped to a dangerous low, he turned his shop into a refuge for the feline friends.
“When it gets cold, they take refuge inside… We are the only shop in the area.” – Bayal said.
To everybody’s surprise, so many cats come to the shop and enjoy eating. They must have been left hungry and thirsty for a year. While a lot of shoppers come to the store and appreciate the man’s kindness, some people are quite concerned about the cats. Bayal the owner puts up a sign with a strong and protective statement.
“Those who are uncomfortable with the kitties do not shop here.”
The cats seem very content with the accommodation from the man. They love laying next to the heater and grooming each other. Bayal is surely relieved when he witnesses the cats’ welfare under his wing. Some people deny the fact that animals cannot tolerate cold weather.
“These animals are never cold tolerant. If they can not find water, they die.” – Bayal added.
Thank you for your kindness, Bayal. Hopefully, there will be more compassionate people embracing the predicament of stray cats so they can have a second chance in their lives.
