Cat Compound in Cihangir

This beautifully illustrated book follows two visitors discovering a colony of street cats living in a “cat compound”in Cihangir, built for them by their human neighbors. You’ll meet a cool, laid-back young mother cat with Audrey Hepburn–like elegance, her three kittens, and a circle of streetwise companions as their days unfold; a twist leads the visitors to discover the city’s Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program and the volunteers behind it.

While the cats are at the heart of the story, the book also immerses readers in Cihangir’s streets, sounds, rhythms, and atmosphere. It follows the visitors’ daily encounters with the cats, the people, and the neighborhood places around them. In an ordinary, real-life pace, it reveals what is truly beautiful and extraordinary.
