This Mosque has become a much needed home for stray cats this winter

Istanbul is known for its large stray cat population.

The cats are popular with tourists and locals alike. The internet is full of pictures of them and many go out of their way to feed and shelter them.

Mustafe Efe decided to take his love of the street cats to another level. He's opened his doors to the Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi Mosque in the historical district of Üsküdar to allow stray cats to live inside during the cold winter months.

Here's a mama taking her kittens to Mustafa's welcoming mosque. 

 

Kindess goes a long way - and we're grateful that this man has opened his heart to this needing felines.
