Pofu

2026

Hi, I’m Pofu. I’m a 1.5-year-old girl from Ankara, Türkiye, weighing around 18 kg. And yes, I know I’m pretty. Honestly, I think I’m even prettier than Ecem’s painting of me. I once had a home, but my humans left me behind. Now I’m waiting in a shelter for someone who can show me that people can be kind and that I’m safe. I can be a little shy at first, so I need some patience while I learn to trust and settle into a new life. But I have a feeling there’s a very loving, goofy girl hiding behind all that shyness. Getting me to my new home in Europe involves some paperwork and preparations, so the journey may take around four months. But I promise I’m worth the wait. Could you be my forever human? Ask Ecem how to reach out. Pofu is waiting for her forever home.
