Facility protects endangered purebred Ankara
A specialized center in the Turkish capital is actively protecting endangered purebred Ankara cats to ensure the survival of the historic long-haired breed.
The Ankara Cat Preservation, Survival and Promotion Center, operated by the Pursaklar Municipality across a 2,000-square-meter area, houses the animals in seven distinct sections.
World Cat Federation-approved felines receive special care in areas equipped with eight internal cameras covering their courtyards, sleeping quarters, resting areas and dining halls.
Pursaklar Mayor Ertuğrul Çetin said they established the facility, dubbed the Cat House, to raise awareness about the breed.
