During a blizzard in Istanbul, residents showed care to abandoned animals as the temperature dropped. Several shop owners generously opened their doors to stray cats and  dogs, giving them a warm and secure place to rest. These exhausted and freezing animals appreciated their gesture of kindness.

Arzu Inan, the manager of a Penti shop, welcomed some stray canines to take refuge inside while customers were still there. She stated in a Facebook post that true love is what brings warmth. Selçuk Bayal, another animal enthusiast, allowed twelve stray cats to take sanctuary at his café, despite the fact that it may harm his business.

The animals at the Atrium Mall received assistance not just from management but also from concerned customers. Ali Celik, one of these customers, came across a bunch of stray animals outside the mall. Three people were offering them with cardboard to lie on and blankets to keep them warm. It’s encouraging to see people banding together to support these adorable critters.

The canine companions were also fed. In an interview with the Dodo, Celik expressed gratitude for the anonymous individuals who chose to help without wanting attention, saying, “Their objective was to aid the animals, rather than to showcase their assistance.” Celik mentioned this. Many uncomfortable and fatigued animals received the required peace and respite from the freezing weather as a consequence of people contributing and demonstrating empathy.

The humane gestures of these shop owners and customers, who graciously welcomed those in need, very certainly saved lives. It is hoped that their charitable examples would motivate others to do the same.
