MUSTAFA
Stuck on the Streets and Wanting a Home

   
   

Believed to have been abandoned by his owner, Mustafa is a beautiful and loving all-white (neutered) male cat who has been surviving on the streets for a couple of years. He is a loner and has been roaming around the south side of Williamsburg looking for food. His scars tell of the tough life of a street cat and his struggle for survival.

After being fed outside of a woman's kitchen window for eight months, he began to learn to trust humans again. Little by little, he let her touch him and take care of him. As you can see from the first photo of him on the fire escape, he was dirty and afraid of people. He just came around for food and left quickly after eating, wary of humans. Eventually, he came into her home looking for affection and a permanent place to grow old.

Although he got along very well with her two cats, there just wasn't enough space for three cats in her studio apartment. Mustafa made it very clear that he wanted to be off the streets. He cried at night at the window wanting to be a permanent member of the household. He liked to be picked up and held like a baby. He simply wanted to be loved. We are delitghted to announce that Mustafa was adopted and now has a home of his own.
