Cyprus cats Protaras

The cats in Cyprus generally have to fend for themselves, but in one street there is a Doctor who looks after up to 18 cats at any one time, cooking a warm meal for them in the evening and ensuring that they have biscuits in the morning. He makes sure they are sterilised and has had to treat several of them himself, saving more than one from the jaws of a stray dog or from near death after a road accident.

These images are simple straightforward films of the cats that live on the streets. In the winter months there are few people around to feed them.

These cats were filmed in three different locations.
