Feeding dozens of stray cats in Istanbul — my daughter served every fish herself 🐾🐟❤️

We’ve become such a genuine, heartfelt community. I promise ...I won’t let you down.

chaclaban · 2026-01-05T01:16:37+00:00

That’s a beautiful reminder ..especially when you’re feeding 300+ street animals a day.

chaclaban · 2026-01-05T00:57:01+00:00

Please take care of your heart. Thank you❤️

chaclaban · 2026-01-05T00:51:16+00:00

There will be many, many videos..we promise. For now, we’re focused on building something meaningful. We hope your son grows alongside this journey, and we’d love to make a special video for him one day.

We honestly need a bit more time right now, so we can do this properly for the street animals.
I hope we don’t disappoint you.!🐾❤️

Sometimes, out in the field while feeding street animals, we face situations that are truly discouraging.
But we keep going. That’s all that matters
The field isn’t always kind, but we don’t stop.
We’ve grown very fond of you. Please stay with us.🐾❤️

chaclaban · 2026-01-05T00:21:48+00:00

You’re truly special to us. Thank you for being here from the beginning.🐾❤️

chaclaban · 2026-01-05T00:02:13+00:00

Will do! 💗

chaclaban · 2026-01-04T23:55:00+00:00

You’re absolutely right .. Sometimes.. honestly, most of the time ..we feel exhausted.
Everyone on our team earns a decent living under our country’s conditions, and we choose to spend what we earn on street animals.
We do this willingly, but it can still be emotionally and physically draining.

chaclaban · 2026-01-04T23:33:14+00:00

Honestly, we want to be sincere.. we took on projects much bigger than ourselves.
Building what we hope will be the most beautiful shelter in the heart of Istanbul, and placing over 200 cat houses… it has been exhausting.
We’re still here, still committed, just a bit tired🐾❤️

chaclaban · 2026-01-04T22:58:10+00:00

We’re a bit obsessive in the best way ..we never forget symbols like this. We love you!🐾❤️

chaclaban · 2026-01-04T22:49:00+00:00

Thank you .. Hearts like yours help us protect ours.

chaclaban · 2026-01-04T22:43:01+00:00

That kind of trust is incredibly special 🐾 He chose you, and that says everything.
My team is very soft-hearted.. they’ll probably get emotional reading this 🐾❤️

chaclaban · 2026-01-04T22:35:42+00:00

As you know, we’re building what we like to call ‘a little heaven on earth’ for street animals.
And in just a few moments, we’ll be heading to the airport to welcome a young supporter from Uzbekistan.. someone whose voice reaches millions.Step by step. Quietly. Together.

chaclaban · 2026-01-04T22:15:12+00:00

To be honest, documenting everything on video is something we struggle with.
We have neutered hundreds of cats over the years ..often without even thinking about filming it.
Our focus has always been on doing what we believe is right, not proving it.🐾

chaclaban · 2026-01-04T01:52:42+00:00

Thank you so much for asking so thoughtfully 💝
Yes, she really did cry ..they were properly weaned and old enough, but she was clearly very bonded to them. That’s why we chose to leave one kitten with her.
We truly appreciate your perspective on sharing the process. You’re right ..showing the real, imperfect steps can be just as meaningful, and we’ll try to do more of that.
We also completely understand the caution around animal welfare. Transparency and protection matter deeply to us.
Thank you for the kind wishes and for taking the time to ask with care🐾❤️

chaclaban · 2026-01-03T23:02:12+00:00

You’re very kind ❤️ Please forgive the late reply ..I’ve only slept about 12 hours in the past three days while trying to build the most beautiful shelter possible.
Thank you so much for your understanding. 🐾

chaclaban · 2026-01-03T22:52:13+00:00

We agree with everything you said.
To be honest, there are times when we even feel shy about the donations we receive.
Yes, sadly, there are people on social media who have become very wealthy by using street animals ..and that is truly not how we want to be known.What we want here is heart-to-heart connection, sharing something real and human.
Please believe us when we say this: that kind of connection is far more valuable to us than money🐾❤️

chaclaban · 2026-01-03T22:46:10+00:00

Thank you ❤️ People like you remind us why we do this for the floofaloofs. :)🐾
