There's no love like a mother's love. This brave stray cat lives on the streets of Istanbul and seems to have no fear of humans, so when her kitten got sick -- this incredibly intelligent cat shows up at emergency room asking for help. 

There are only four images of this incredible moment, and according to the post, it mentions the emergency doctors helped by taking them to a vet. 

Love is powerful and a beautiful sight to behold, this mama cat truly loves her kitten. However, it's more than just the love she has for her kitten, it's also the level of trust she has in humans and apparently, the stray cats of Istanbul are mostly this trusting due to Turkey taking such wonderful care of their strays. 

Scroll down for all the info and stories about this mama cat and her kitten along with how wonderful it is to be a stray in Istanbul:

It's like she's carefully listening to the medical team give their plan of care for her baby. 158 Reply Give Award Share Report Save hikingfortheviews 17 hours ago I know, I'm amazed she knows to trust them so much. I can't imagine the anxiety I would have watching strangers pass around my kid not knowing if they're going to give it back to me. 35 Reply Give Award Share Report Save

    Text - brutelitops 20 hours ago · edited 18 hours ago Cat knows where to get help. This is heartwarming. 3.9k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Blackrosesnzn 16 hours ago When I was a student in İstanbul, I took so many stray cats to the vet and I never paid anything. The thing is if a cat clearly needs help, there is no possible way someone wouldn't pick that cat up. And they will be treated for sure. There is no thing such as putting them down. 송 239 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Resolve

You can see food and water for these friends on every corner.

    Text - phoebsmon 16 hours ago My mam wanted to bring one home that took a liking to her. Joked about getting a pet passport and the guy in the café/bar was horrified, said she couldn't possibly take their cat. Definitely a stray. It was a very pretty cat. I was getting photos sent to me every day. I was laid up back home with glandular fever and there were zero messages asking how I was. But I did know every detail about that cat within days. When I think, it's like a more honest version of mine
