Happily Adopted

Mori has a quiet, unsure look about him — you notice it as soon as he meets your eyes.

We went into a remote forest after hearing a dog had been abandoned there. The dog wasn’t there anymore… but we found several frightened, sick cats who had clearly been left behind. We brought all of them to safety.

Mori was one of them.

He’s healthy now and finally in a safe place, but he still has that look of a cat trying to understand where he is and why he ended up there. He’s friendly with both people and other cats, just a little cautious at first. He’s scared, but you can see he wants to trust — and with time, he will.

Shiro may mean “white,” but his little life began in darkness. At just three weeks old, he was weak, alone, and crying for help no one heard—until we did. He’s now in vet care, fighting to live, and we’re holding onto hope with him.

Hi there, I am Mousy...I am just a little boy who started life in a disadvantaged way. I dream of an adopter who will love me although I am blind at one eye.

Amidst a lively crowd of cats eagerly enjoying their feast by the fishermen, Nemo sat quietly, uninterested and frail. Unlike the others, she needed more than just a meal—she needed help. Now healthy and strong, she’s ready to find a loving family to call her own!

He came from a place with no hope, no light—just silence and pain. Simit is one of 17 cats who got a second chance.

Monroe’s story begins with a contrast — while his brave mother had survived the hard life of the streets, Monroe himself never had to. His mum, one of the most beautiful yet fiercely feral cats we’ve ever met, chose our pension garden as the safest place to give birth. Among her four stunning kittens, Monroe was the only one who wasn’t wild at heart. When spring arrived and the others chose their freedom, Monroe stayed. Calm, affectionate, and unlike his siblings, he chose people — and we promised to find him the loving home he deserves.

My name is Fig, and it carries a mystery. Nesli found me high up in a giant fig tree, where my two sisters had already passed. No one knows how we got there, but I was alive—crying out with all my strength. Nesli heard me, and maybe you will too. Will you be the one to give me the home I’ve been waiting for?

Aiko, Sophie, and Akira were born to a beautiful feral mama we called *Wild Rose*. She cared for them devotedly before returning to the freedom she longed for, trusting us to keep her babies safe — and she still visits from time to time before disappearing into the wind again.

Liora is one of those rare souls whose eyes tell his whole story. We found him in a remote forest where someone had abandoned several helpless cats. Most were frightened and unwell — left with no chance to survive on their own. Liora was one of the lucky ones we could save.

Today he is healthy, but the sadness of those days still lingers gently in his blue eyes.
We named him Liora, “my light,” because even in that dark place, he stood out with her quiet, glowing spirit.

He is ready for a home where his light can finally grow brighter.

A family found tiny Taz trapped in a hole in their house wall — just two weeks old and struggling to survive. They bottle-fed him and helped him grow into a sweet, loving young boy. Sadly, due to a dog and severe cat-fur allergy, they couldn’t keep him.

But TosTos chose love, and he shows it every single day.

Robotte’s life changed in a single moment when a dog attack left him injured and in pain. Rescued just in time and rushed into surgery, he survived — though nerve damage in his neck gave him a slightly stiff front paw and a unique little “soldier walk.”

But Robotte never lost his spirit. Playful, affectionate, and deeply loving, he cuddles with other cats, adores toys, and seeks out human touch. His small difference only makes him more special — and anyone who truly sees him will instantly understand how extraordinary he is.

Bosco looks like a royal cat — calm, attentive, and always meeting your eyes as if he’s asking you a question. We found him in a remote forest after a tip-off about an abandoned dog.
