Hamza Avlar, a 78-year-old former shoe repairman in Adana, Türkiye, faced a series of hardships, including the loss of his home due to land title issues and eviction in 2021. He now lives in a small shoe repair shop with his cat and a flightless pigeon. Despite receiving a monthly pension, he spends most of it on caring for neighborhood stray cats. The local community has come together to support him with meals, showers, and laundry assistance. Hamza Avlar is seeking a one-room house or container unit for better living conditions, and he relies on assistance from fellow animal lovers to care for the cats.
