That’s weird, there’s a cat at the airport.
Oh wait, there’s another.
And another.
15 minutes since arriving at the airport I’ve seen the cats. Maybe they’re going somewhere. Katmandu? Purrsia?
As we get off the bus in central Larnaca and walk to our flat, I’ve seen another ten cats.
It’s this a cat city and humans are just living in it?
Unfortunately, Larnaca has a huge stray cat population. You’ll see bowls of cat food out in the streets as you walk and you’ll probably have a stray cat as a companion if you eat outside at a restaurant.
We went to Hala Sultan Tekke and found around 20 in a nearby building. Apparently it’s the place where people abandon cats. Quite a few were only kittens too. Many were constantly itching from all the flies surrounding them.
There is no government funding for the stray cats unfortunately. Sandy’s Place cat sanctuary has opened recently in and has taken some of cats from Hala Sultan Tekke.
I decided to give the cats I took photos of a name and introduce them to you.
