Istanbul is a city with a rich history and diverse culture, with one aspect of its charm being the presence of cats and dogs throughout the city.

Stray felines are a common sight in Istanbul, with estimates suggesting that around 200,000 live on the streets.

Many dogs in Istanbul are strays, and locals often care for them too. As a result, there are also a growing number of animal welfare organizations and shelters that work to provide care and find homes for these dogs.
