More than 1 million stray cats live in Istanbul. Approximately 10% of these cats live on the rocks off the coast of Istanbul. The number of stray cats continues to increase exponentially every day. Inadequate and wrong sterilization policy is slowly turning Istanbul, a cat paradise, into a hell for cats.

Last night, approximately half of the cats living on the beaches of Istanbul became angels. The cats that managed to survive no longer have homes to shelter in. The rocks where thousands of stray cats live are now silent like an abandoned city. You wish there were 'Adorable Paws' cat houses in this area, right? In 2024, we will expand our coverage area and rebuild the ruined city. I hope when you watch this video you will understand the value of the cat houses we built.

00:00 The cat houses we built withstood the waves and wind, and the stray cats who owned this cat house managed to survive.

03:10 Giant waves and a violent storm destroyed the weak cat houses on the shores of Istanbul and destroyed the cats.

16:13 The stray cats that managed to survive are now homeless.

The length of Istanbul coastal road is 80 kilometers. There is a high probability that you'll see stray cats and kittens under every rock along the 80 kilometers of coastline. Whether there is a cat house on these rocks or not, cats will continue to live here. Because cats continue to be abandoned and reproduce. You can only build cat houses on rocks because there are many reasons for this. The most important reason is that green areas and parks belong to the metropolitan municipality and this is not allowed. Other reasons are traffic danger, stray dog ​​danger and human danger.

As the 'Adorable Paws' YouTube channel, we built cat houses on a 1 kilometer area of ​​the 80 kilometer coastline. We help feed, treat and neuter thousands of cats within this area. The cat houses we build are not in danger of collapse because they are made of heavy and highquality materials. None of the cat houses we have built have suffered the slightest damage, collapse, or water leakage problems in the last 2 years. 'Adorable Paws' cat houses continue to save the lives of stray cats every day.

So what happens when there is a very severe southwest storm and giant waves? This storm and giant waves happened in Istanbul last night and none of the cat houses we built were damaged. The cats we took care of the night when Istanbul was destroyed by floods managed to survive. I am not exaggerating when I talk about the night when Istanbul's beaches were turned upside down. I will walk just 1 kilometer forward and show you the extent of the disaster.
