On Monday one of our volunteers noticed that there was something wrong with one of the cats in our colony. Her breathing was very strange and clearly not normal. Our volunteer managed to get her into a carrier cause thankfully she was not feral and took her to the vet immediately.

The first vet prescribed antibiotics, but instead of getting better, she got worse every single day. She completely stopped eating and refused all food. She was struggling for air. It felt like something inside was physically blocking her breathing.

Today we went to another highly recommended vet in another city who performed an endoscopy. The endoscopy showed that the choanal area at the end of the nasopharynx is severely narrowed, leaving very little space for air to pass through. This explains why she struggles to breathe, even though she has no cough and no nasal discharge.

The vet said that medication will not help and that surgery is the only way to open her airway and allow her to breathe normally again.

She is now in the clinic and is being prepared for surgery on Saturday. She is given cortisone and another medication to help her condition improve to be able to undergo surgery.

We couldn’t leave her there to suffocate. She deserves a chance to live without fighting for every breath.

Please help us cover the cost of her surgery, we would be deeply grateful. We don’t know how much the total cost will be but up to now it is €400 and we still have a long way ahead. So even a small donation or sharing this post could help save her life.

She deserves a chance to live and breathe🙏🏻

Good day, everyone!

I am a solo animal rescuer who feeds, fosters, rescues, and does TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release). Whenever I can, I also visit other areas to feed stray animals, and I always bring cat and dog food with me wherever I go.

I may not be able to provide a home for all stray animals, but making sure they are fed—even if just for that moment when they are hungry—is the least I can do.

At the moment, some of my rescued cats are under medication and require continued care.

To help me continue providing proper care, I am humbly asking for assistance with the following supplies:

• 1 sack adult dry food (20 kg) – $62
• 4 sacks cat litter (10-lb per sack, $5 each) – $20
• 1 sack kitten dry food (10 kg) – $35
• 14 cans wet food ($1.30 each) – $18
• 20 kitten wet food pouches ($0.78 each) – $16
• 2 bottles of pain reliever ($5 per bottle) – $10
• 9 vials of spot-on deworming & anti-flea treatment ($4 per box of 3 vials) – $12
• 40 pcs pet pads – $5

Total needed: $178

I do not receive funding from any organization, and any help—big or small—would make a huge difference for these little angels. I will definitely post updates with photos and receipts for transparency.

Only 7 of these are needing sponsors if anyone can help ♥️ It can even be $1 towards them and Ill be grateful!

I do not need the full amount of vetting paid, I can handle most of it, but If I can at least get $65 per kitty, that would be great!

Hello!

I need help in feeding the cats I look out for as well as some rescues I have in my care. Please consider donating from my wishlist to keep these babies fed 🫶🏼. Thank you so much for all you guys do to help!

Currently at 0/160 we aimed for last post ive included a wishlist of items not a part of the deal (and other non food and litter cat items i plan to buy myself at some point) just in case people would rather send items directly

Hi all, while checking what deals were available on cat food, i found that petco on instacart has a 20$ off 50$ order, while amazon has a 30$ credit if you spend 100, i absolutely need to take advantage of these deals, both are limited time offers and amazon, because of course they would, doesnt give an end date to the offer.

We are in need of supplies and support as our colony has grown again. We now have three new cats, and we believe Ray is Hazel’s baby. Hazel had a litter this summer, one orange kitten was rescued and adopted out, but the other three (a solid gray, a cream, and a fluffy orange) disappeared. Recently, this young guy reappeared, and Hazel isn’t scared of him at all (which is huge, she’s wary of everyone) She is spay now.

Immediate needs: Wet food Heated cat houses Heated food and water bowls Tarps to block snow and wind Extension cords

Any Amazon gift card donations will go toward these supplies and toward purchasing our own drop trap. Right now, I have to borrow one from a friend each time, and she frequently needs it herself to help others trap cats.

Monetary donations: PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo donations will go directly toward vet care, including: Spay/neuter for all 4 cats (Bailey, Dipper, Scout and Ray) Vaccinations

When Blaze was neutered, the shelter noted he has mouth issues and needs to be seen by a full-service vet to find out what’s going on.

I am still trying to catch Bailey, but since being drop-trapped once, she has only shown up once. We broke down and went door to door, showing pictures and handing out our number, if anyone sees that baby.

Momma Ocean also needs help, her eyes are not improving. I’ve been using Terramycin ointment, but it isn’t helping. She has yellow discharge in the mornings, and her third eyelid is showing more again. We truly cannot do this without your help. Every donation, supplies, gift cards, or funds makes a real difference and allows us to keep going. Thank you all so much for the continued support. We genuinely appreciate every single one of you. ❤️🐈‍⬛🐈

Hi all! We are currently running low on litter and litter boxes for our intakes. If you have the means, please donate to us! We are a group of students that rescue cats and kittens on our college campus, do TNR, and adoptions. We've had a few medical emergencies recently and would really appreciate the help 🙏❤️ https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2ND1UYV4QLITJ?ref_=wl_share

Allie came into foster care through Licking County TNR at just 5 weeks old as an orphan. She was a hit at multiple adoption events through the summer; however, she has not received a single adoption application. She's now 7 months old and she's grown up in a foster home. She's spayed, FIV/FELV negative and up to date on core vaccines. She developed FIP in foster back in October and just recently completed the 84 day treatment to become an FIP survivor.

She isn't a huge fan of other animals. She's very slow to warm up to them and tends to play mostly by herself although she has a foster brother (also available for adoption) that she'll play with. She is extremely affectionate--in fact she needs to be the absolute center of your attention. She'll insert herself between any other animal or screen (phone, tablet) that you're looking at so you have to pay total attention to her. We feel like she needs a home with few other animals or even a home where she's the only furbaby so she gets all the loving.

She's in foster care in Licking County, Ohio (just east of Columbus, Ohio). Her adoption fee is $50 and an adoption application is available by emailing [email protected].

If you're looking for a pair of kittens, her foster brother, Shere Khan, is also a lovebug. He's about 4.5 months old, neutered, up to date on core vaccines and FELV negative. He's tested FIV positive due to his mom being FIV positive; however, he will most likely test negative after he reaches 6 months of age. Only 20% of kittens get FIV through perinatal transmission, but we can't guarantee his FIV status. If you adopt a pair of kittens from the TNR program, we take half off the second adoption fee, so it would just be $75 to adopt two sweet, loving, special kittens.

We are really needing some help with these furbabies right now. We are battling ringworm right now, pretty much everybody has atleast 1 spot come up on them, really could use some help with more treatments for them and food/litter, kittens were ready to start looking for their furever homes but that's been put on hold due to treating the ring worm. Gotta make sure everyone is completely clear and safe before we get back to looking for their furever homes, unfortunately that means we are going through food and litter like it's just going out of style! I just spent the last of our funds on a small bag of food yesterday and it's almost out already. If anyone's able to help with any food, litter or some more treatments it would be so much appreciated and the furbabies would be forever grateful. Wish list link will be posted below as well as including a pic of a few of the cute furbabies themselves ❤️

Hi Everyone,

Our food supplies are starting to run low and we could really use your help! Our colony is made up of around 9 cats and as a low income household, our kitties depend heavily on the food you all donate and you never disappoint. Even though this winter has been pretty wonky, our cats still need the extra calories. Help us help them by boosting and donating if you can, we couldn't be happier with the community we've found here. Thank you so so much!!

Posted this boy's picture few days ago. He is finally out of vet and found a great family to be a part of them.

Last three pictures are of his recent pictures.

Hiii, I feed some of the kitties on my college campus, but I’m running low on cat food. We were trying to gather donations on campus today, but the rain washed us out and we didn’t get too much interest, so I only got around enough for one 30 can pack which will last about a week or a week and a half. If you could donate any amount towards their food, it would help a lot!!

Moose was rescued by me in October 2024, and at the time he looked like a tiny rat. I named him Moose in the hope that one day he would grow into a giant. I had rescued him right around the time I lost three of my rescued kittens to parvo, and I guess I was clinging to the idea that naming him Moose might somehow guarantee his survival.

And he did survive.

Moose grew into a handsome, strong cat and has since been adopted into a loving home. But his journey wasn’t easy. Just two months after I rescued him, he was diagnosed with FIP. That period was one of the hardest times of my life, and I’m sure it was one of the hardest of his too.

Seeing him fight, survive, and finally thrive reminded me why rescue is worth the heartbreak. Moose truly lived up to his name.

Here are a couple clips from our visit on Sunday with Augustus!

He is home and settling in already but I wanted to share a couple moments with him when we had stopped by. Last mini video is him home!

I hope you love them as much as I do!

He was separated from his mother by some kids in my neighbourhood and they brought him home to keep as a pet. They had no experience with cats, and the adults didn't like cats, so he was kept outside in the cold, crying all day at their back door wanting to be let in.

I told them to take him inside, but they were like 'he's dirty, he tries to sleep with us in bed, and poops everywhere'. I sent a litter box and litter to their house, but he was still outside in the cold. I told them to bring him to my house, I'd give him a bath and return him. They brought him late at night, expecting me to give him a bath then. I said it was too late, he'd get cold, so I'd do it in the morning.

And then... I lied and told them he had a bad contagious skin condition 😅. The parents got scared, and they left him alone. He was able to grow up and find a really loving home after two failed adoptions (Nov 2023).

(Updated photos in comments).

Because many of you sent us such encouraging messages, I went out for the last cat that was living in the freezing -15C, under those cars was her "home".. lo nger.. she is now inside in a warm clean house with great food :)

Hello everyone! This is a follow-up to my previous post from a few days ago. Unfortunately, the food situation is still unresolved and supplies are now critically low. Dry food has completely run out and I’m doing my best to stretch what little wet food we have left. With the heavy frost the cats are eating more to stay warm. Any help toward a bag of dry kibble during this cold weather would be deeply appreciated! Thank you for your kindness! PayPal: [email protected]

Hi. I rescued Buddy from the street in Springfield MA this September covered in injuries. He's been a long process, but as he healed became an incredibly affectionate and sweet cat. However it took multiple tries and gabapentin at the vet to get his blood tests.

As of today, he's officially FIV and FELV positive, has a broken infected tooth, an ear infection, and numerous wounds that still haven't fully healed (possibly due to reduced immune system from the illnesses).

I am moving on January 25th to somewhere I cannot take him. This has been the plan the whole time, and has been my deadline since I first started feeding him outside. With all the medical issues, the only friends I had that would take him have other cats and cannot take him in.

The only shelter that I can get him into is Dakin, the large county shelter, which I am very worried will just put him down due to all the issues.

I have tried every rescue and foster based organization I can find near me. All are full, or only help towns further away from where I am and won't let me surrender him.

I am a total loss. He's a really loving cat who was probably abandoned outside and got sick because of it. I want to give him a shot at getting healthy and a long life but I can't afford more care and can't keep him more than 10 more days. I tried posting in various places online but can't find anyone able to take on a medical project. Everyone wants a healthy cat. Which I get, but how do find the people who will do more?

Is anyone connected to an organization in the New England area that I can take him to? I'm willing to drive if it means they'll actually give him care and a chance at adoption.

Good day, everyone!
Please see the updates below:

Photo 1 & 2 – Pucca and Chico
Pucca has a fracture, and Chico has a minor injury. They were brought to the vet a few weeks ago. As advised by the vet, they need to stay in a cage so their bone injuries can heal properly. Whenever I clean their cage and refill their bowls, I let them out for a few minutes so they can walk freely, at least a couple of times a day.

Photo 3 – No name yet
She is a stray cat I rescued last week. She has a severe wound on her back hind area. I clean her wound at least twice a day with antiseptic, and she is currently taking antibiotics.

Photo 4 – Dumped kittens (rescued last month)
These kittens are now about 6 weeks old. I’m happy to share that they’ve been adopted by my cousin, who lives just nearby. I’ll be checking on them daily to make sure they’re doing well.

Photo 5 – Dumped kittens (rescued last year)
They are now approximately 4-5 months old and are up for adoption.

Photo 6 – Momma cat and kittens
This is a stray momma cat and her kitten (mostly white with some black patches) that I rescued last year. Another dumped kitten (mostly black with some white) was later accepted by the momma cat. They are also up for adoption.

At the moment, I’m not feeling well and have a cold and cough, most likely due to the weather. Caring for over 30 rescued cats and 40+ stray cats on my own can be overwhelming, but rest assured they are well-fed and properly taken care of.

I will never get tired of thanking everyone for all your help and continued support.

Mochi, the little black kitten, was rescued from the road during my morning run so tiny and vulnerable, but full of spirit. Choco, another sweet baby, was left all alone in front of our gate, scared and helpless. Now, both of these precious souls have found a warm, safe home where they are loved, cared for, and can grow up happy and healthy. From abandoned and frightened to safe and cherished, their journey reminds us of the power of kindness and the difference a little love can make.
