i am raven.

For a long time, people have asked me to share Raven’s story. But this book is about more than just Raven — it’s about giving a voice to street animals and helping people truly understand the lives they live every day.

Through Raven’s journey, I wanted to show what life is really like for cats on the streets here in Turkey — searching for food, enduring intense heat, often without even something as basic as clean water. It’s a world of both hardship and hope.

I wrote this book for both adults and children, with the hope that it can open hearts and minds. Raven’s story is just one — but it represents so many. Through it, I hope to inspire change.
