Alvin
Adult | Male | Istanbul, Turkey
Hi, I’m Alvin 🐾
Life on the streets was never easy for me. I’ve long struggled with painful skin problems, and when winter arrived, things became much worse. My body became covered in scabs and I began losing patches of fur, but I kept trying to carry on.
Then eating started to hurt. I struggled even with soft food, constantly flicking my tongue because something didn’t feel right. When I was finally taken to the vet, they discovered painful mouth sores, a serious infection, and broken teeth that had likely been causing me discomfort for a long time.
The streets don’t allow cats to heal — pain and illness simply continue until someone steps in. Thankfully, this time someone did. I was brought to safety and began receiving the treatment I desperately needed, including medication, pain relief, and dental care.
Now I’m finally safe, resting, and beginning to recover without the daily struggle of survival. I’m a gentle boy who appreciates quiet comfort and kindness, and I’m slowly learning what it feels like not to be in pain.
All I’m looking for now is a calm, loving home where I can continue healing and enjoy the peaceful life every cat deserves.
