In June 2023, a video of a paralyzed cat began circulating on Facebook.
She was thought to have been hit by a car, a tragic fate shared by many cats on the streets of Cairo. Koky, the founder of SHE, immediately sprang into action and organised the rescue.
On the scene it turned out that the injured cat had two kittens. Somehow she had managed to crawl back to her babies. So all three were brought to the Haven.
The mother cat was able to nurse her kittens for a while, but unfortunately died, as did one of the two male kittens. Koky took the remaining kitten home and nursed it by hand. When the little tomcat was healthy again, he was allowed to move to the Haven. His first sponsor named him Ryan.
Now Ryan is about one year old (October 2024) and has grown into a happy little guy. He clearly enjoyed his photoshoot!
With his glossy gray-white coat, slender build and oriental facial shape, Ryan is a real beauty — and his slightly squinted gaze is just adorable.
At the Haven, Ryan gets along with everyone – the other cats, the two shelter dogs, the staff and visitors. But most of all, he loves sitting next to Koky and sniffing all the cuddles. In his future home, he will definitely form a deep bond with his people. He would also like to have other feline friends to play with.
Indoor living is a must for Ryan, as it is for all SHE cats. However, he would be thrilled with access to a secure balcony, catio or cat-friendly garden to safely enjoy the outdoors. He is quite athletic, so safe spaces are important!
Now for the practical details: Ryan is flea free, dewormed, vaccinated and neutered. He also has a microchip and a certified rabies titer test.
Ryan is ready to travel to the EU, UK, Canada or the US. In some cases adoption to Switzerland is also possible. Of course he comes with all the necessary paperwork.
Did Ryan win your heart? If you are interested in adopting him, please check out to our adoption process. And don't hesitate to contact us.
