One Catās Long Road To A Forever Home
Mochiās story began in a cold Cairo garden, where she was found alone as a tiny calico kitten with no mother in sight. A local rescuer took her in, adding her to a long list of cats she has helped over nearly twenty years, often working alone in a system stretched beyond its limits.
For eight months, Mochi recovered, grew stronger, and learned what safety felt like. When the time came, she traveled from Cairo to Europe, a journey made possible by careful planning, trust, and a committed adopter.
That adopter already understood rescue. Years earlier, she had adopted another cat from the same rescuer, making Mochiās arrival feel like a continuation rather than a beginning.
International adoption is never simple, and it is becoming harder each year. Still, for cats like Mochi, the effort leads to something permanent. A quiet home, steady care, and a future that finally feels secure.


Yes, Cats Can Get Frostbite
Cold weather may look harmless to a cat wrapped in fur, but freezing temperatures can still pose real risks. Cats can get frostbite when exposed to extreme cold, especially if they spend long periods outdoors or come into contact with ice, snow, or freezing surfaces.
Frostbite most often affects areas with less fur, including ears, paws, tails, noses, and eyelids. In these spots, cold temperatures can slow blood flow, allowing tissue to freeze and become damaged. Wet fur makes the risk much higher and can speed up how quickly frostbite develops.
Early signs may include cold or pale skin, swelling, pain, or changes in behavior like hiding or limping. In severe cases, the skin can darken, blister, or become infected. Frostbite can cause permanent damage if not treated quickly.
The safest way to prevent frostbite is to keep cats indoors during freezing weather. If outdoor time is unavoidable, it should be brief and supervised, with access to warm shelter and dry bedding.

Breed Spotlight: Australian Mist
The Australian Mist is known for its easygoing personality and soft, misted coat. Developed in Australia in the 1970s, this breed was created by crossing Burmese, Abyssinian, and domestic shorthair cats, resulting in a friendly, adaptable companion.
These cats are medium-sized with short, glossy fur that features spotted or marbled patterns. Their coat colors deepen slowly, sometimes taking up to two years to fully develop. Despite their elegant appearance, Australian Mist cats are sturdy and muscular, often feeling heavier than they look.
Personality is where the Australian Mist truly shines. They are affectionate, social, and known for enjoying time with people of all ages. Many do well with children, other cats, and even dogs. They tend to enjoy interactive play but are equally content lounging nearby.
Still considered rare outside Australia, the Australian Mist is gradually gaining recognition for its calm temperament, good health, and family-friendly nature.
