Invitation

Dear Colleagues,
 
This year, we will have a very dynamic congress, very!
 
In our 5th congress, our main topic will be “Locomotor System Diseases in Cats”. We will focus on orthopedics and neurology, or any disease that effects motor systems. Which means our congress will be the plaform to discuss what we have to do so our cats can walk down the “catwalk” like a model, and prevent them from getting such diseases.
 
Our trademark special session will be called “CATWALK”. Our distinguished specialists will discuss in length all diseases in problems that cause walking disorders in cats, from nutrition to orthopedics, neurology to endocrinology. We are inviting you to join us to dive into endless sea of possibilities.
 
Meanwhile, we have listened to your requests and as a tribute to cats’ walking trends, we walked to the European Side of Istanbul to organize our 5th Congress. We will be organizing our congress in Polat Renaissance İstanbul Hotel, known to have a stunning view of the Marmara Sea and proven quality of service between 9-10 October 2025.
 
Traditionally we will be starting off our congress with Prof.Dr. Tuncay Altuğ session, and as the tradition goes on we will have bright young colleagues presenting in this session who have not gone up to the stage before. As the program goes on, we will have distinguished national and international invited lecturers to present the most updated scientific content. You are invited to join us to fill yourself up with “SCIENCE”.
 
Our trusted sponsors will be there to support us and exhibit their products along the 2 day congress. Are you ready to come join us in this vibrant setting and discover the surprises together?
 
So then -our valued colleague-, we are hoping to welcome you warmly and share what we have.
 
Looking forward to seeing you all in October.
 
Feline Medicine Association and “CATWALK” Congress President
Mustafa Aktaş
