— ADOPT MALCHO —

Malcho was shot with three BBs which has paralyzed his hind legs and prevents him from urinating on his own. Please continue to read below to find out more about Malcho

  • Malcho's adopter must manually express his bladder at least twice per day. He is healthy but tests positive for FCoV (Feline Coronavirus) (as many cats do) but has no symptoms - Surgery would not improve his condition. He may be able to regain some use of his legs with physical therapy, which will take considerable time and effort.

  • Despite everything he has been through, Malcho is extremely sweet and social. He wants to live and fight. Malcho is currently in hospital because there's nobody to care for him and to date, no rescues are able to accept him - Adopting a recently paralyzed cat is a significant decision that requires a dedicated commitment to specialized home care, daily medical management, and physical accommodations in the home. Many paralyzed cats adapt brilliantly and can live very normal active lives.

  • Prognosis:
    Malcho is in very good overall condition and with proper care, he may even develop spinal walking, but he will always need help with emptying the bladder. He is friendly and definitely loves people, because he didn't stop rummaging in the office. According to the vet, if we manage to find someone who can provide the necessary care, he will be able to live normally and happily.

  • 1. Experience owning a cat

    2. Experience providing medical care to a cat, such as: administering daily medications, and cleaning wounds

  • 3. A nearby vet willing to care for a disabled cat because Malcho will require frequent visits until he is stable - he will then need to see a vet two to four times a year

    4. Adopter: financial situation that can handle the cost of vet visits and medication - Foster: We can fundraise to support a foster

  • 5. Are you located in Bulgaria?

    We are currently unsure when Malco will be healthy enough to travel internationally. Must wait 21 days after rabies vaccination but as of now, it is unclear when he will be getting his rabies and other vaccinations

  • 6. Lifetime commitment

    Adopting Malcho means adopting him for the rest of his life. You must be willing to express his bladder twice daily for the rest of his life. You must also be willing to administer medication as needed.

  • 7. Suitable home environment

    The entire family or household must be willing to take on a special needs cat and must be understanding of the situation

  • 8. Standard cat adoption requirements

  • August 23, 2026

    Found by Marina and taken directly to a vet and hospitalized. Malcho has a good appetite.

  • August 26, 2026

    Examination by Dr. Miley & Dr. Zlatinov at OrtoMedika Clinic who agreed that the operation would not change his condition. Malcho is too small, and the risks of anesthesia are too great.  

  • August 30, 2026

    Blood tests show that Malcho has mild leukocytosis and a few slightly elevated indicators - but considering what he has been through, the doctors said the values are not worrying and there is no need for additional medication at this stage.

  • September 5, 2026

    Removed a splinter from the head wound and it is now starting to heal faster. Malcho is getting better every day.

  • Currently

    Malcho is hospitalized in the infectious disease ward of the Blue Cross" clinic in Pancharovo, Sofia, Bulgaria.

— FUTURE ADOPTABLE CATS —

Below, meet our cats who will soon be available for adoption.

To make them adoptable we need to ensure that each cat is sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped. 

The male cats have all been sterilized but several females await the funds to be able to sterilize them.  Our goal is to raise enough that the vet can visit BMH to vaccinate and microchip all of the cats at once.  

Please consider donating. We will provide updates on when the cats will be available for adoption. 

NOTE: The current adoption form is only for Malcho.  We will have a standard adoption form for the other cats once it's ready.
