I BOTTLE-FED THE CAT

"I saw that someone throw a thing from their car onto the road. I wondered what it was and approached it. The kitten was looking sad on the road, I did not leave it. I immediately took it to the vet, the cat was treated there. It was so small that it could not eat anything so I have been bottled-fed the cat for weeks. We have been traveling together for 3 months. I have a stressful job, I am on the roads all the time. The cat became my fellow companion. Sometimes it lies on my lap, sometimes it gets under my feet. I love the cat so much. I did not name it, because I have to find it a home. When the cat is with me, its living space in the driver's cabin is very limited. Since I have to go abroad, it is very difficult for me to pass the cat through the border Gates. I am looking for a safe home for the cat" said Samet Ayyildiz.
