THE CAT MAN OF ALEPPO'Cat man' of Aleppo opens rare animal clinic in war-torn Syria - in pictureswww.thenational.ae/lifestyle/cat-man-of-aleppo-opens-rare-animal-clinic-in-war-torn-syria-in-pictures-1.737057
'If you want to show mercy to people, start by showing mercy to everything else,' says Mohammed Alaa al-Jaleel, who runs Ernesto's Cat Sanctuary
Mohammed Alaa al-Jaleel carries a cat on his shoulder at Ernesto's Cat Sanctuary that he runs in Kfar Naha, an opposition-held town in Aleppo province. AFP At an unlikely cat shelter in rebel-held northern Syria, Mohammed Alaa al-Jaleel gently holds a feline patient on her back as an ultrasound probe is rolled across her pregnant belly.
In a time of war, she is one of hundreds to have received medical attention at the makeshift animal clinic in Kafr Naha, an opposition-held town in Aleppo province.
"If you want to show mercy to people, start by showing mercy to everything else," says Jaleel, who runs Ernesto's Cat Sanctuary — named after his favourite furry friend.
The 43-year-old, who grew up in Syria's second city Aleppo, has been mad about cats since he was a boy.

As a young adult in the city, he would drop by the butchers on his way home from work as an electrician to ask for scraps to feed street cats in his neighbourhood.
When war broke out in 2011, he put down his tools to become an ambulance driver to help ferry the wounded — but never stopped bringing food to his feline friends.
As the war raged on and cat lovers fled the city, Jaleel was left with 170 cats to feed and a new nickname: the Cat Man of Aleppo.

But in late 2016, the regime ramped up its deadly bombardment of Aleppo's opposition-held neighbourhoods as it sought to regain control of the whole city.
"We started fleeing from neighbourhood to neighbourhood until, in the end, we escaped the city altogether," Jaleel recalls.
Setting up a second shelter
Determined not to leave them behind, he and fellow feline fans managed to save 22 of the city's cats.
"We gave each family two cats in a plastic vegetable basket," Jaleel says.
Among them was Sukhoi, named after the stealth fighter jets of regime ally Russia.
"He would zip in and grab food from right under the noses of the other cats, just like a Sukhoi jet," he tells AFP.
Syria's war has killed more than 350,000 people and displaced more than half its pre-war human population, as well as many of its domestic animals.
After fleeing Aleppo, Jaleel set up his second shelter — named after Ernesto — in early 2017 and housed 18 of the 22 smuggled cats in the animal oasis.

They swap with each other and sleep in all of them," Jaleel says, referring to rows of marble cubes with cat-sized entrances, engraved with names like Pouncer and Rose.

But the shelter, financed by online crowdfunding campaigns, does more than provide twice-daily meals: it also serves as an animal clinic with its in-house vet.
"We treat all sorts of animals here for free: horses, cows and even chickens," Jaleel says.
During an inventory in January, he and his colleagues discovered they had handed out 7,000 medical prescriptions for free in less than a year.
'Animals too suffer the same injuries' Mohammad Watar was blown away when he brought in his cat for treatment after food poisoning.
"There are no vets where I live. I asked people and they pointed me to the sanctuary. I was so surprised to find this kind of thing existed during this war we're all living," says Watar.
"I saw them treating all sorts of animals. It's really beautiful."
Still, war is never far away: the sanctuary's main building bears the marks of gunfire.
Last month, it cancelled a children's party after a young boy was shot near the shelter, according to its English-language Facebook page.
Footage posted online depicted a man in a cat sanctuary t-shirt carrying a child with blood streaming down his calf.
Even the shelter's cats are treated for war wounds, says the centre's vet, Mohammed Yusuf.
"Just like many people are wounded by all the different weapons in the area, animals too suffer the same injuries," he tells AFP.
Some stay under observation at his clinic for weeks, but not all get the treatment they need.
Alaa and house of Cats Ernesto in Aleppo "We're living in a war and facing severe shortages of veterinary medicines for wounds as well as vaccines," Yusuf says.
In a time of death and destruction, the pride of the sanctuary is its ability to carry out sonograms of animal mothers-to-be.

I once had a cat that looked like this. Her siblings and mama were Russian Blue. Jane Seymour also has different color eyes but never had a cat like her.PHOTOS: Adorable twin cats showcase their fascinating eye colors Yahoo News Photo Staff•August 12, 2019 www.yahoo.com/news/photos-adorable-twin-cats-showcase-their-fascinating-eye-colors-144903730.htmlThese adorable cats — which are twins — showcase their contrasting blue and green eyes. The fascinating pair, Iriss and Abyss, live with their owner. Pavel Dyagilev, 34, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Pavel says that most people ask whether the cats eyes are real due to their unusual appearance.
The cats have a condition called heterochromia iridis, which causes each eye to vary in color. Dyagilev said: "When I found an ad on social media that two kittens were seeking a new home, I never imagined that I'd end up with two. But I looked through the pictures of kittens and saw two twins always together on the photos. And my heart melted.” (Caters News)

How Hannah Shaw, The 'Kitten Lady,' Rescues The Most Fragile Felines29:40 LISTEN ondemand.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/fa/2019/08/20190815_fa_01.mp3?orgId=427869011&topicId=1132&d=1780&p=13&story=751438004&siteplayer=true&size=28425222&dl=1 TRANSCRIPT August 15, 20192:25 PM ET Heard on Fresh Air www.npr.org/2019/08/15/751438004/how-hannah-shaw-the-kitten-lady-rescues-the-most-fragile-felines TERRY GROSS
The kitten Hank was infected with fleas and a deadly feline virus before Hannah Shaw took her in. Hank became the cover model for Shaw's new book on neonatal kitten care, Tiny but Mighty. Andrew Marttila and Hannah Shaw/Penguin Random House
In addition to personally taking care of newborn kittens, Hannah Shaw, known as the Kitten Lady on social media, consults with shelters and cities on homeless cat management. Andrew Marttila/Penguin Random House
Hannah Shaw's job title is "professional kitten rescuer."
Known on YouTube and Instagram as the Kitten Lady, Shaw has rescued hundreds of neonatal kittens, often orphaned and unweaned, who are too small and vulnerable to be in an animal shelter. Kittens are a highly euthanized population in shelters because they require a level of care that most shelters cannot provide. That's where Shaw steps in.
"They fit in the palm of your hand. Their eyes are closed. They need around-the-clock feeding and care," she says. "Sometimes they have a life-threatening illness or they are in really critical condition, and I want to be able to give them the attention that they deserve so that they have the best chance to survive."
Shaw's new book, Tiny but Mighty, outlines how to care for the most at-risk felines, and she shares stories from inside her nursery. Her cover kitten, Hank, was dropped off at a pet supply store in a tissue box (hence the full name Hanky) with her umbilical cord still attached. Hank was not only covered in fleas, but her eyes were also infected and she had panleukopenia, a virus that kills 90% of cats when untreated.
"She was my project for an entire week," Shaw says. "For every kitten that I've lost in the past who had [panleukopenia], they've taught me something that helped me to save Hank." After constant monitoring with fluids and tube-feeding, Hank emerged from her illness. "Her eyes were bright — she was like a new cat who was finally learning what it is just to enjoy being alive."
Despite everything she goes through with her rescues, Shaw insists it's not hard to say goodbye when the kittens get adopted.
"I always say that goodbye is the goal of fostering," she says. "My goal always is to get these kittens from being so frail and so fragile and so vulnerable to a place where they're so strong that they don't need me anymore, and they can move on to their adoptive homes."
Tiny but Mighty Kitten Lady's Guide to Saving the Most Vulnerable Felines by Hannah Shaw and Andrew Marttila Hardcover, 325 pages purchase
Interview Highlights On why neonatal kittens are less adoptable than older kittens
A lot of people, when they picture a kitten, they picture an adoptable kitten who's bounding around the house and climbing in your lap and purring. Those 8-week-and-up kittens surely are very adoptable. They are easy to find homes for in shelters. But a very unseen population is neonatal kittens.
So the kittens who come into the shelter who are maybe unweaned, maybe they don't have their mom — a lot of them come into the shelter orphaned. And so these young kittens who are 0 to 8 weeks old: They're actually extremely at-risk in animal shelters, because most programs don't have the ability to take care of kittens who are so young and so vulnerable. ... And so the population that I work with when I talk about kittens, I'm talking about this very vulnerable population of young kittens who enter shelters, and they need more help than can be provided within the four walls of that structure.
On why it's important to check if the kitten has a mother before rescuing
If you find a kitten outside, you can assume, if they look like they're clean and they look like they're fed and they're not covered in filth and they're not crying out, these kittens have somebody who's been feeding them. And it's not the local raccoon — it's their mom. So a lot of the time, these kittens do have a mom. ... So we want to always assume that the kittens have a mom, unless they're in a situation where they're very dirty, they're obviously in distress. In those situations, yeah, we can scoop them up, and we want to be able to provide care to those kittens too. ...
I'm known as Kitten Lady. I am dedicating my life to taking care of kittens, but I'll never be as good as a mom cat is at taking care of these babies.
On her kitten nursery at home
Well my dream has been to have this nursery in my home. ... We have a couple different rooms for kittens of different ages and different needs. So our neonate room is really for those newborn kittens when they first come in. People say my house is like kitten Disneyland, but it's also kind of like a kitten hospital. We have a very sterile environment for them. Everything is stainless steel, can be sanitized. We have incubators for those babies (0 to 3 weeks) who come in, and they don't have mom, and they need that constant radiant heat to keep them warm and healthy. I have a refrigerator where all of their formula and medication is capped. We have lots of baby supplies, everything from soft blankets to surrogate mamas that have a little heartbeat inside of them [that] these babies can cuddle up to. Really everything that we need for the tiniest neonates is in that room.
And then we have a room called the socialization room, and the socialization room is for those kittens who are learning how to eat independently. They're learning all of the skills of becoming a tiny cat. So we have enrichment in there, that they can learn how to climb and pounce and play and burrow and do all of the things that a cat can do. ... When I get the kittens in, they typically start out in an incubator, and then we just get to see them through from 0 to 8 weeks all the way to adoption. And we have something for all of them there.
Shaw says that it is critical to provide kittens with a heat source until four weeks of age — as she demonstrates with her young charge Frank. Andrew Marttila and Hannah Shaw/Penguin Random House
On helping kittens use the bathroom
Little baby kittens, when they have their mom, mom will stimulate them to go to the bathroom by licking their butt and their genitals, and she stimulates them, so it lets their body know, "Oh, it's time to go potty." And she also actually consumes their waste. ...
When you're a surrogate mom, you just have to simulate the feeling that they are being stimulated. So I use either a warm, wet baby wipe or a soft tissue, and you're really just rubbing that area for a number of seconds so that they go to the bathroom in the cloth, and then you just toss that out and wipe them up with a baby wipe. And that's only for the first couple of weeks.
On grooming kittens with a toothbrush
I use a toothbrush a lot in my nursery for many different reasons. You know, one for grooming, but also for comfort. I'm talking a lot about simulating maternal behaviors for these kittens, and mom cats, they keep their kittens meticulously clean and they also comfort them through licking, and so they have those barbed tongues. And a toothbrush is just about the right texture and size to help these kittens feel like they do have a mom who's licking them and comforting them and keeping them clean. And being able to simulate those behaviors for the kittens helps them become better at grooming themselves and helps them feel well-adjusted and cared for.
On meeting her fiancé Andrew Marttila, "The Cat Photographer"
At the time, I was fostering two neonatal kittens who were both singletons ... I took these two kittens in separately, and I was raising them separately for disease-quarantine reasons. And I thought: Wouldn't it be cute to do a photo shoot of these two baby kittens meeting another kitten for the first time, because they'd never met a cat or a kitten? So I scheduled a photo shoot for Andrew to come, and we did this cute set of two orphan kittens meeting together for the first time ... and ultimately those two kittens, Bruno and Boop, were able to get adopted together. They became best friends. And it turned out that Andrew and I were also inseparable from that point on. I think our second date was at a cat café, and our third date I taught him how to trap cats, because he had never done TNR [trap, neuter, return] before. So we ended up being this powerhouse of feline advocacy.

Rescue cat returns the favor, alerts sleeping owner to apartment fireUSA TODAY Kate Collins, Ithaca Journal,USA TODAY 22 hours ago www.yahoo.com/news/rescue-cat-returns-favor-alerts-004522757.html
ITHACA, N.Y. – About five years ago, Danielle Schafer rescued a kitten off the side of the road.
The kitten was just weeks old, the final, tiny litter-mate remaining in Schafer’s tender grasp after its feral siblings scurried away into roadside brush.
Last week, Kitty – as the gray, domestic short-haired cat female cat is affectionately known – rescued Schafer in return, pouncing her 12-pound body atop Schafer as she slept in her Lansing bedroom and alerting her to the flames spreading through the apartment walls.
A New York native, Schafer moved into her small, first-floor apartment in September when she relocated to Ithaca for her clinical year of vet school at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. The night before the fire, she readied her hospital scrubs, excited for her next rotation, and was asleep before midnight.
Around 2 a.m., Schafer was jolted awake by Kitty jumping on top of her and what sounded like battering rams at her door.
Kitty is a domestic short-haired cat rescue cat belonging to Danielle Schafer, a clinical vet student at Cornell University.
"I thought someone was trying to break in," Schafer recalled.
She rushed to the kitchen and saw a wall of red flames consuming the front of her small apartment. Immediately, she returned to her bedroom to find Kitty and a way to safety.
For a moment, she couldn’t find either.
“It was pitch-black smoke, and I tried opening the bedroom windows,” Schafer said. “I was yelling, ‘Kitty! Kitty! Kitty!’”
Besides her own screams, Schafer describes the moments after the initial intense bangs – which were later determined to be nearby propane tanks exploding – as eerily quiet.
According to Schafer, none of the fire alarms in her apartment were triggered.
“It almost sounded like a peaceful crackling fire,” she said.
Stumbling through smoke, Schafer escaped the burning apartment through the patio doors.
Her beloved Kitty was still inside.

Once outside, she helped the family who lived in the apartment above her escape the worsening flames. The parents dropped their two small children, clad only in diapers, into the outstretched arms of Schafer and a neighbor.
By the time the flames were extinguished by Lansing and neighboring fire departments, 12 people had escaped to safety.
The Red Cross arrived, offering shelter, food, clothing and more.
“The unfortunate part is those folks lost everything in their possession for the most part,” said investigator Charles Morse.
Schafer recalls sitting in pajamas on the ground, exhausted and numb to her own injuries, overcome with guilt, sadness over Kitty, who was missing.
“I can’t even describe the feeling,” she said.
After regrouping at a nearby hotel, Schafer returned to the apartments at daybreak.
Her apartment was still smoldering.
Still, Schafer knew, just knew, that Kitty was in there, alive.
"I have to find find my cat," she thought. "She saved my life, I need to save hers."
Out loud, Schafer screamed. She cried.
"Everyone knew I was looking for my cat," she said.
When a sergeant insisted that firefighters had thoroughly checked her bedroom for the missing cat, Schafer began looking under cars and in bushes, everywhere cats hide.
Suddenly, Schafer heard a firefighter yelling for her.
"Is my cat dead?" Schafer asked.
"No," the firefighter said. "Look."
In his arms, he held a small gray cat.
"It was like a movie," Schafer said of the moment she was reunited with Kitty.
As Schafer predicted, Kitty had hunkered down and made a cocoon in the pillows of the bed to protect herself against the raging fire's thick black smoke. The small cat, stayed there for over seven hours until the persistent firefighter found her.
Kitty was treated for smoke inhalation and corneal abrasions at Cornell's Companion Animal Hospital, where she stayed for several days.
Schafer and Kitty are staying with family in Long Island and expect to return to Ithaca soon.
"She's thrilled to be home," Schafer said.

ANIMALS Trump Signs Law Making Cruelty To Animals A Federal Crime November 25, 201911:08 PM ET Richard Gonzales at NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C., September 27, 2018. (photo by Allison Shelley) RICHARD GONZALES www.npr.org/2019/11/25/782842651/trump-signs-law-making-cruelty-to-animals-a-federal-crime
America's animals have new federal protections against abuse. 101cats/Getty Images
Cruelty to animals is now a federal crime under a new law signed by President Trump on Monday.
The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act (PACT) is a bipartisan initiative that bans the intentional crushing, burning, drowning, suffocating, impalement or other serious harm to "living non-human mammals, birds, reptiles, or amphibians."
The law also bans "animal crush videos," meaning any photograph, motion picture film, video or digital recording or electronic image that depicts animal cruelty.
The penalty for violating the law can include a fine, a prison term of up to seven years or both.
The measure was introduced in the House by Ted Deutch, D-Fla., and Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., and pushed through the Senate by Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Patrick J. Toomey, R-Pa.
Animal welfare activists said a federal law was necessary even though every state already has laws criminalizing animal cruelty. They argued that the lack of federal legislation made it difficult to prosecute animal cruelty cases that span different states or jurisdictions.
"PACT makes a statement about American values. Animals are deserving of protection at the highest level," Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, said in a statement.
"I'm grateful to see the PACT Act finally signed into law. The barbaric torture of animals has no place in a civilized society and should be a crime — and thanks to this new law, now it is," Blumenthal said. "Senator Toomey and I worked together for years to ensure that this kind of despicable torture of animals is forbidden for good."
The new law was endorsed by some law enforcement groups, such as the National Sheriffs' Association and the Fraternal Order of Police, who say there is a link between extreme animal cruelty and violence against people.

RIP BUBBY!Fans Mourn The Death Of Celebrity Cat Lil BubHuffPost Jenna Amatulli, HuffPost 9 hours ago www.yahoo.com/huffpost/lil-bub-death-rip-celebrity-cat-210359575.html Famous cat Lil Bub has died at the age of 8.
On Monday, the feline’s owner, Mike Bridavsky, posted on social media that his beloved friend had passed on Sunday.
“We lost the purest, kindest and most magical living force on our planet. BUB was cheerful and full of love laying in our bed with us Saturday night, but unexpectedly passed away peacefully in her sleep,” wrote Bridavsky in Lil Bub’s weekly newsletter.
Bridavsky explained that he’s been “fully transparent” about Lil Bub’s poor health and that it “was no secret that she was battling a persistent and aggressive bone infection.”
Despite that, he says he wasn’t “expecting her to pass so soon or so abruptly without warning.”
“I truly believe that she willingly made the decision to leave her failing body so that our family would not have to make that difficult decision ourselves,” he said in the newsletter.
Lil Bub became a viral celebrity in 2011 when her photos took off after being posted on Tumblr and then later on Reddit. Born with several genetic mutations, the animal had an extreme form of feline dwarfism that led to her tongue always hanging out because of a shorter lower jaw and toothlessness; she also suffered from osteopetrosis, a bone disease that makes bones abnormally dense and prone to breakage.
Lil Bub arrives at the premiere of EuropaCorp's After achieving internet stardom, the feline went on to helm the documentary “Lil Bub & Friendz,” which won the Tribeca Online Festival Best Feature Film. She was also the focus of the book “Lil Bub’s Lil Book: The Extraordinary Life of the Most Amazing Cat on the Planet,” which came out in 2013.
Bridavsky highlighted more of Bub’s achievements in his note about her death: “She has literally saved thousands of lives (both pets and humans), she started the first national fund for special needs pets, she was the subject of groundbreaking genetic and biological research, she’s helped raise over $700,000 for animals in need, and has spread a message of determination, positivity, and perseverance to people all over the world,” he wrote.
“And even though my heart is absolutely crushed by her graceful departure from planet Earth, I know that her sprit, magic, and overwhelming energy are still with us, reminding us every day to be better.”
Many on social media mourned the passing of the furry friend:

My last 12 years have been devoted to the rescue of Feral Kittens. This is the first time I've seen a video devoted to the subject, it is excellent. I have 4 Cats that I've kept (feral kittens who've adopted me, actually), and I can't live without them. Others I've successfully adopted out. Some I've been advised by the vet to put down. I've been putting out good quality cat food and and bowls of water nightly for 12 years also.
It takes a lot of time and patience, but the best results I've had socializing older feral kittens, is to trust them to make the right decision for themselves whether they want to be with you or not. Feed them, and ignore them is my MO. Eventually they can't resist--especially if they see me stroking one of my own cats. They absorb it all, and soon approach me for the same. Constance is key, also meowing at them helps because it's familiar to them.
I just pay for everything myself, as there is no Financial Assistance for trap, neuter, and release in this town. If anyone contacts the local Animal Services for any help, you get nothing except a lecture on "if you've taken it in, you're responsible." They'll figure out a way to charge you a "surrender" fee if you have to go that route--even with an injured animal. They do absolutely nothing to deter the rampant, ever growing pet population here. They have effectively neutered the Humane Society's activities here as well. I don't think the ASPCA even has a presence here.

I love cats too, great that you're caring for the stray ones. I've adopted many cats from the SPCA over the years. There were some strays on my street too, and my neighbors managed to trap most of them and then got them neutered and found homes for them. Winters are really cold here so I hope that the last few strays have found a place to live. I feed birds, squirrels and chipmunks in my backyard, so I don't want cats roaming around and killing them. I keep mine inside and only let them out on a leash.
