Rescue Stories: Princess - Found Dirty and Hungry in the Street and is now Treated Like Royalty

Hello and Happy Friday! I'm back with another great tail tale in our RescueStories series. Today's story is about one of our Instagram friends, Princess. We fell in love with her gorgeous photos (which have earned her over 11K followers on Instagram) and when we read that she was found on the street, well, we just had to share her story. Read on to see how this street kitty went on to be Princess of her castle.

My Mum found princess on January 6, 2016 on the street in front of a primary school, which is very close to our home. The weather was very cold that day, and it was one of the most severe winters in Ankara. The cat was playing with the students and when mum saw her, she ran over to her asking for food. We never had a cat before but mum immediately picked her up and brought her home. She was lonely, dirty, had some wounds on her nose and ears, a small cut on her right ear, lost the hair on her ears, could not even open her eyes - and she was starving.

Despite all of that when she arrived home she was very happy and began jumping and playing.The first thing we did was buy her cat food and litter. We opened the food package and before we could put it in a plate, she tried to get some out with her paw. When we brought her to the vet they told us that she was probably around 1 year old. After a blood test they said that she was healthy and they started her vaccinations. We are not sure why, but every time she visits the vet she is very scared.

 We were not sure if she was born on the street or if she was left by someone. Mum went to the school where she found her and asked if the cat belonged to someone in the area. A security guard of Union of Bar Associations told her that sometimes people come and leave their cats in front of the facility.

The first few weeks she was sleeping all the time in every place she found at home. She probably couldn’t sleep much on the streets. In a few weeks’ time she gained weight and started to heal. Mum was thinking about asking her friends to adopt Princess but we couldn’t part with her.

She is the most smart and graceful cat in the world and this is why we named her Princess. Also in contrast to her previous life she is now living like a princess. Everyone at home enjoys taking care of her. She still likes to sleep but when she is not sleeping she is very playful and her passion is to watch the birds that live around our home. We think that she loves us as much as we love her.

  1. I loved learning Princess's story - I already follow her on Instagram. Funny thing is, that's how my human found her heart cat, Harlot - she was playing with some kids on the street and wound up taking her home.

  22. Thank you for taking in Princess, returning her to health and giving her all the love a kitty could possibly need! There are so many animals in need and it is always shocking to learn the histories of our furry family members - you know pieces of Princess's past, and thank goodness it is just that...her past! Bless your heart - and happy life Princess!
