When people left, the cats started coming to me,” Mohammad Alaa Jaleel, who lives in Aleppo, Syria, told BBC News.
Aleppo, the largest city in Syria, has been an almost constant battleground since 2012 as opposing forces have tried to gain control of the city.
To save their own lives, people fled the city of Aleppo — an estimated 40,000 of them.
Alaa started out with about twenty cats who were left behind as people ran for their lives, in addition to the strays he’d taken in. A year later there were over a hundred — and Alaa started a sanctuary known as Il Gattaro d’Aleppo.
