One day, a little kitten ran out from under a car and came to me. Since that day, I have been living in the same home with that cat, and since that day
I love cats more than people.
(This is my best true story.)

I am a teacher living in Istanbul.

My philosophy is to live for goodness always and everywhere.

I've seen kind-hearted people fall. And I have seen some people looking for food in the trash.

Human & Animal Rights Advocate 🌍🐾
I know it's not an easy task.

I am anti-capitalist and anti-fascist.
Please do not come to me with your religion or nationality; come to me with your humanity.

If you discriminate against others, please find another host. I don't want people who discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, gender, geography, etc., or who are homophobic.
There is no room in this home for people who discriminate.

I dislike selfish individuals. I appreciate generous and kind people. I love literature, enjoy reading, and I appreciate open-minded, socially aware individuals.

I like drinking alcohol and usually drink it at home. If you share this interest, we can drink together. 🍻

You can simply copy and paste when sending me a stay request; it’s no problem for me. I understand that writing to everyone individually can be tiring.
