Nilüfer Municipality has established the Umut Ağacı Stray Animal Natural Life and Adoption Center in the Karacaoba neighborhood of Bursa. The 49,500-square-meter facility is designed to provide a natural living environment for up to 3,000 stray animals, featuring shaded areas, observation points, and specialized ground structures.

To maintain scientific standards for medical services, including diagnosis, treatment, sterilization, and vaccination, the municipality has signed a protocol with the Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. This partnership ensures that rehabilitation processes are supported by academic expertise and trained staff.

The center also includes a symbolic adoption initiative where citizens can tie a ribbon to a designated tree on the premises to commemorate an animal finding a new home.
