Hi there! My name’s Bowie, and I’ve got quite the story to tell. I was discovered by some kind-hearted tourists at the Apollonia Hotel in Varkiza, who brought me to safety when I was in desperate need of care. It was love at first sight—I won everyone over with my sweet and gentle nature. Even though I was battling a severe eye infection and a weakened immune system, I never stopped showing my brave, loving spirit.

​

The team tried everything to save my eyes—antibiotics, eye drops, vitamins, even soothing tea compresses—but the infection was too severe. I ended up losing my sight, but that hasn’t dimmed my sparkle. They named me Bowie after the legendary David Bowie because, like him, I’m a star who shines bright no matter what!

​

I’m super active and love exploring, climbing, and playing with anything that makes noise. My curiosity knows no bounds, and I’m always up for a new adventure. Even though I can’t see, I’ve figured out how to navigate my world and have fun—nothing holds me back!

​

I also have a sweet side. I absolutely love cuddles and human interaction. One of my favorite things to do is hug your face, give it a good sniff, and then nibble it gently—it’s my way of saying, “You’re my person!” I purr nonstop, give headbutts, and love being close to people. I get along fine with other cats, but I haven’t made any best friends just yet.

​

Because I’m blind, sudden noises or movements can startle me, so I’d do best in a calm home without young kids. I’m healthy and love both wet and dry food. When I’m not playing or exploring, you might find me relaxing in a cozy spot, gearing up for my next adventure.

​

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who’s overcome so much and still shines bright, I think we’d make a great team. What do you say—are you ready to be part of my story?

Bowie was adopted abroad and he travelled to his forever home in November 2025.
