Meet Syria’s 44-Year-Old ‘Cat Man’ Who Is Saving And Protecting Felines & Other Animals In War-Torn Idlib

Mohammed Alaa Aljaleel, also known as “Cat Man of Aleppo”, is rescuing cats and other animals left vulnerable after heavy shelling airstrikes in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib.

A few months ago, rescue teams in the countryside of Idlib called me and told me ‘we are rescuing people, but we cannot rescue starving animals,’ so I decided to make this mission,” Alaa told journalists, as quoted by Daily Sabah.

Areas of Idlib have been under heavy aerial and ground shelling by Syrian government forces and their Russian allies since April, forcing close to 400,000 people flee the region. Because animals had nowhere to go, Alaa, a 44-year-old ambulance driver and paramedic, took up a new mission.
