Cat village to open in Turkey

A historic city in Turkey is set to play home to a special Cat Village where hundreds of felines will live and be taken care of, and be available for adoption.

The city of Canakkale in northwestern Turkey -- near famed World War I battlefields -- set up the kitty village on an area spanning 600 square meters, in the neighborhood of Esenler, said a statement by the city government, Anadolu Agency reported/

The village features feeding and watering units for the cats, along with bungalow-style cat houses. Some 200 cats will live in the village when the project is complete, the statement said.
