The magnanimous imam of the Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi Mosque, one of the most famous landmarks in Istanbul, has been opening the mosque’s doors to stray cats to protect them against cold winter days for years.
Worshipers who visit the mosque for the first time are shocked in the face of the great number cats around.

The imam, Mustafa Efe, has provided them with a comfortable home and it has even been reported that one cat brought her kittens and placed them on pulpit where the Imam preaches.
‘’The kitty has found the heart of compassion and mercy,’’ Efe wrote on Facebook.
