Very sweet semi-paralyzed kitten needs a home...

Hi,
About 6 weeks ago, a street cat (a kitten of approx. 9 months) was hit by a car. This kitten is one of about 10 street cats in my neighborhood that I had been regularly providing food for. I took the kitten to a vet, who said he had a broken pelvis with nerve damage. The kitten has been there since then. You can see photos of the kitten here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 147&type=1
Over the past 6 weeks, the kitten has regained some control of his legs, but he still can't walk, and he still can't control his pee/poo. I am unable to adopt this kitten myself, given my schedule and the fact that I'm single, and I have had no luck finding anyone else who will adopt him.
This is a very sweet kitten who purrs easily and clearly wants to live. He seems to enjoy the company of not only humans but also other animals, including dogs (you can see in one of the photos he parked himself right on the belly of the vet's golden retriever). I'm hoping that there is someone out there who can save this kitten and provide him with a home. Although I live in Istanbul, I would be willing to fly to another country with this kitten if there is a home for him there.
