If you have not walked the streets of Limassol yet, then you should! You will see a lot of homeless cats there. They live and sleep anywhere, attracting the gaze of many people who pass by.
You seemed to enjoy the pictures I shared in previous posts (here, here and here). So, I want to show you some more photos of cats living in Limassol, Cyprus that I took.

These 2 cats look skinny, are there orginisations that practice TNR and that feed the cats there in Cyprus???
There are feral cats on our property that I feed twice a day and they are skinny right now because of the heat.

Thats probably a mother and her kitten. There are must be millions of cats in Cyprus while the human poppulation is less than 1 million. Due to their numbers and the government's indifference cats suffer en mass here, from illnesses to malnutrition to being hit by cars(a lot). The only help they get is from ordinary people who are willing to pay from their own pockets to feed them. Medical care is a different beast and almost no1 provides it for strays. The verry few shelters that exist have been full for years now. I try to look after about 20 strays in my neighborhood but I gotta tell you the amount of time and money that is required is overwhelming!
Thank you for all you do. It shows your compassionate humanity

Great light on the eyes of the cat renders tha photo special. Well done.
We have a house cat we adopted from our city animal shelter in early 2009. Our cat looks thin like the larger cat despite being fed whenever he is hungry (ours is more gray than brown). It is our cat's natural body type since he was 1 year old when we adopted him. He is a very active cat and in good health but has always been slim and lanky and wiry (which is what one would call a human with similar physical build). People used to think he was an exotic breed. As far as we know, he isn't. He is just built slimmer that other cat's. He is also athletic.
Okay, this cat seems to have the international sign of TNRed cats, the cropped ear, but some of the cats look rather skinny, while others look well fed and are probably outdoor cats who have a home, but stray around most of the time. I wish the author could give some informations about the situation in Cyprus because actually I am not informed about the stray/street cat situation there, differently than about other countries like Italy or Spain or Greece, where several international organisations practice TNR and feed the cats there.
I really wish the Bored Panda author YuKo could give some informations about organisations that eventually practice TNR and feed the cats in Cyprus, it´s really so that some of the cats look homeless, while others look well fed and cared for.
I don’t know about the organization, but the fact that in many places people feed the cats themselves and just try to support them

Stray cat pics are heartbreaking. The artist makes money and the cats die of malnutrition and violence. While the pictures are very beautiful the subjects are so sad. Can't upvote because strays die in horrible ways and I won't upvote their dismal lives.
I just wanted to show what is happening on the streets to get the attention of the public. What problem needs to be solved

It's so sad to see all these starving cats. Where I live, there are tons of stray cats, but they all seem pretty well fed. I wish these cats could also be cared for
Al these pictures are just beautiful. And totally heartbreaking. I wish more people viewed this post. Maybe there'd be more support of the cats, and the wonderful people who care about, and for, them by international animal care groups. We hear about how terrible life on the streets is for dogs, and there are several groups to help them. Cats seem to be forgotten - the 2nd class. And it just breaks my heart. Thank you for giving us a view into these incredible cats' lives. ANYONE who believes, in their humble opinion, that cats are loners and this is a "natural" life for them has never observed the TRUE nature of cats. They're more like lions - live in groups, help raise each other's kittens, form life-long bonds, and mourn when that bond is broken. I, and many others, have learned this through observation - empirical evidence.
Thank you for your support and kind words. I just wanted to raise a problem and show what a horse is and at the same time how beautiful they are....
