That’s weird, there’s a cat at the airport.
Oh wait, there’s another one.
And another.
15 minutes after I arrived at the airport I saw the cats. Maybe they are going somewhere. Kathmandu? Purrsia?
As we get off the bus in central Larnaca and walk to our flat, I see ten more cats.
Is this a cat town and humans are living in it?
Unfortunately, Larnaca has a huge population of stray cats. You’ll see bowls of cat food on the streets as you walk and you’ll probably have a stray cat as a companion if you eat out at a restaurant.
We went to Hala Sultan Tekke and found about 20 in a nearby building. Apparently it is the place where people abandon cats. Quite a few were just cats too. Many were constantly itchy from all the flies around them.
Unfortunately, there is no government funding for stray cats. Sandy’s Place cat sanctuary recently opened in and took some cats from Hala Sultan Tekke.
I decided to name the cats I photographed and introduce them to you.
