Local media writes that while the baby was being cared for, the medics gave its mother some milk and food to make her more relaxed and comfortable. The Turks have long been known for their love and care for stray animals, with many leaving out food and water for them on the streets.

People on Reddit praised the paramedics and hospital staff at the Istanbul hospital for their kind actions. Some also remembered stories of their own where people helped animals in need. “This happened in my hometown with a birthing cat. She had problems and walked up to the hospital and started to meow.

My sister lives in Turkey. She says the entire neighborhood takes care of the cats because they keep the rats off the streets! Win win! (Except for the rats...)

Probably a lesson held over from the Black Plague. The whole reason the Black Plague took so many lives was because not only were people unaware that it was the fleas on the rats, not the rats themselves, that carried the plague, but there was a fear of cats in Europe at the time because it was felt that cats were familiars for witches..so many of the cats were destroyed leaving the rats to roam free, unhindered. It may be that the people of Turkey know that keeping the cats around keeps humans healthy as well.
