In late 2024, a photo of a cat missing part of his back leg started circulating among animal rescuers in Cairo. He was rescued, taken to our shelter, and received the medical care he needed. – And got the name ‘Texas’ from his sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n

At first, it looked like the remaining part of Texas’ back leg could be saved. He moved around surprisingly well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But over time, the area kept getting sore and had to be treated several times. In the end, our vet decided the best option was to fully amputate the leg. His wound has now healed, and Texas is ready to begin a new chapter in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s estimated to be born around November 2023. So he is now about 1.5 years old. During his recovery, he was also microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. He still needs to complete the waiting period required for international travel. Starting July 2025, Texas will be cleared to travel to the EU, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, or Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas is a stunning young cat – active and playful. He has strikingly bright, differently coloured eyes. This iris heterochromia is more common in all-white cats but quite unusual in cats with mixed fur like Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our shelter manager, Koky, does not think that Texas is feral. However, at the moment, he is still shy with humans. She believes that with gentle care and patience, he will learn to trust. <\/p>\n\n\n

With other cats – and even the two shelter dogs – he is very friendly. He would do best in a quiet home without small children, where he is not pressured and is allowed to gain confidence at his own pace. A confident group of resident cats could help him settle in, or he could bring a trusting cat buddy with him to his new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shy cats like Texas often turn into the biggest cuddle bugs over time, though, of course, there are no guarantees. <\/p>\n\n\n

What he truly needs is someone who will love him just the way he is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we prioritize safety for our rescue cats, we only adopt into indoor homes. For Texas, who has only three legs, this is extra important. However, a secured balcony, cat-safe garden, or outdoor catio would be a lovely bonus though not a requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you be his special person for Texas? – That would be exceptional. Please check out our adoption procedure<\/a> if you think you could be the human for Texas. And please contact us<\/a> about it.<\/p>\n\n\n
