Finding a Forever Home for Our Cats

Every cat, regardless of their past or any visible limitation, deserves a loving family and a place to call their own. At Hope 4 Paws Alanya, we are the dedicated guardians for the most vulnerable souls, the forgotten cats who have nowhere else to go. These are the former strays who have been left behind, and it is our privilege to prepare them for the new, happy lives they so deeply deserve.

When a cat comes into our care, our experienced team of veterinarians immediately begins a thorough evaluation. We provide comprehensive medical and physical care, from surgeries that heal old wounds to the gentle daily attention that restores their spirit. We believe that a healthy cat is a happy cat—and that health is just as much about psychological well-being as it is about physical recovery. We pour an immense amount of time and love into each cat, ensuring they are not just physically healthy but also happy and ready to trust again.

The Special Souls of Our Shelter

Every cat staying in our shelter deserves a family of their own. This is especially true for those with visible or hidden challenges, such as being visually impaired, having a missing limb (tripod), or dealing with neurological conditions. These cats aren’t defined by their circumstances. Instead, they are defined by their incredible resilience, their capacity for joy, and their deep need for a loving home.

By choosing to adopt a rescue cat from our shelter, you are making a profound statement. You are not just getting a pet; you are saving a life and giving a chance to an animal who was previously overlooked. You are providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can finally feel secure.

When you adopt one of our cats, you are supporting a mission of compassion and proving that every life, no matter how challenged, is precious and full of love to give.

Beyond Sight: The Wonderful Lives of Our Cats

The cats you see on our pages, each with a partial or total visual limitation, are living proof that blindness is not a barrier to a happy, full life. While many people believe a lack of sight would severely limit a cat’s world, the reality is far more beautiful. Our blind cats don’t live in a world of darkness; they thrive in a world rich with sound, touch, and scent.

  • A World Beyond Vision: Cats have an incredible ability to adapt. When their sight diminishes, their other senses become incredibly heightened. Their sense of hearing allows them to pinpoint the location of a rustling toy or the sound of your voice from across the room. Their whiskers become a sophisticated tool for navigation, detecting air currents and obstacles, while their paws can feel changes in the floor texture. They create a mental map of their environment, confidently jumping onto furniture they’ve memorized and navigating through familiar spaces with grace.
  • Play and Joy Without Limits: The joy of play doesn’t require vision. Our blind cats love to chase toys that make noise, hunt for treats hidden in puzzle feeders, and interact with crinkly toys. Their natural curiosity and instinct to play are as strong as any sighted cat’s.
  • The Unconditional Love They Give: Most importantly, a cat’s ability to love and bond with their human family has nothing to do with sight. Our blind cats are affectionate, playful, and just as eager to snuggle as any other cat. They form deep connections built on trust, scent, and the comfort of your voice.

By sharing the stories of these incredible cats, we hope to change the narrative and show that the only limitation a blind cat faces is the common misconception that they can’t live a full life. Every day, they remind us that a happy life isn’t about what you can see—it’s about how deeply you can feel and how much love you have to give.

The Adoption Process: From Türkiye to the World

Our animals are made travel-ready, receiving all the legal documents needed to begin their new life. We will be with you every step of the way, guiding you through the entire adoption procedure with the support of local organizations. The following steps are required to bring an animal from Türkiye into the EU:

  • 2x mixed vaccinations

  • Rabies Titer test
  • 3-month quarantine period
  • Official veterinary checkup 2-5 days before leaving to confirm the cat is free of internal and external parasites.
  • TARIM office visit 2-5 days before leaving to get the official travel documents from the Ministry of Agriculture, without which the animal cannot leave Türkiye
