TL;DR
Street cats are common throughout Antalya and often live in small groups; locals commonly feed them. The discussions mention no ban on feeding, but visitors should feed responsibly and avoid leaving litter.
Kittens may be less visible than adult cats. If you want to help, leave food discreetly in a safe spot away from passing carts and children's play areas.
Street cats are found all over Antalya and often gather in small family groups.
Local residents are generally very fond of cats and commonly leave food for them, so feeding them is a familiar practice.
Despite Antalya's intense summer heat, street cats are still plentiful in the city.
Temperaments vary: some street cats are very friendly, while others are wary of people. Do not try to pet or catch cats that keep their distance.
