A garden of wonders for stray cats
At the beginning, Ayse lived at Istanbul, a city that is home to a large number of stray cats. It was probably there that she became aware of the reason for these poor animals, who needed a lot of help.
She then moved with her husband and 3 youngest children to a house with a fairly large garden. It was then that she began to take steps to improve the amount of animals living on the streets.

Ayse started by feeding the cats that appeared in front of her house. Then more and more of them came, to get food, but also caresses and tenderness.
Garden ofAyse has thus become a kind of open-air reserve, where the animals remained free, but where they found food and received love. A kind of oasis of peace, a garden of wonders.
Ayse doesn’t just feed her “children”
Besides feeding her cats, Ayse takes them to the vet when they need to. She takes care of them and considers them her children. In addition, they each have their own first name, which she remembers without difficulty. ” Can a person forget their child’s name? “, she said.
Today, the number of felines if Aysa takes care of amounts to more than 100. This represents a high financial burden that is not easy to bear. But as long as she can, the mother will offer her 4-legged children everything she has. She spends her days caring for them, and they bring her at least as much happiness as she brings them.
