Dolly

1 year | Female | Istanbul, Turkey

Hi, I’m Dolly 🐾

I was found wandering through a quiet cemetery, doing my best to survive after losing part of my back leg. Life on the streets wasn’t easy, especially after I became a mum — but even when things were incredibly tough, I never gave up.

Everything changed when I was rescued. For the first time, I felt safe. I was brought into care, given the medical help I needed, and shown kindness and patience. I now live indoors, where I’m learning that the world can be gentle and that humans can be trusted.

I’m a very loving and affectionate girl who enjoys being close to people. I have a quirky little personality and a soft, calm nature that shines once I feel comfortable. I’m not the kind of cat who rushes into new situations — I prefer to take things at my own pace — but when I feel secure, I form strong bonds and love deeply.

I’m looking for a calm, understanding home where I can settle in slowly and enjoy a peaceful life. A quiet household would suit me best, especially one where I can be the centre of attention and truly relax. I’ve come a long way, and I’m ready to start my next chapter with someone who sees me for the special girl I am.
