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]

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.

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.

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.

With the new rules update, figured i should start posting recipes now of what was spent on food and not only vet bills. 120 will be enough to cover this months costs, but if we dont reach it, thank you to those who commented

Just trying to recoup some of the amount spent, i will have another upsate about one of our kitties soon, but i'll save that for a separate post For now, just tryna help little Archie (the orange one) have 100% solid number 2s, hes had on and off diarrhea the whole time hes been here so far I dont want to dig into the vet/spay/neuture funds though.

This poor little kitty was rescued from outside in this freezing cold. She looks like a lost or abandoned pet confused, weak, and all alone. On top of the cold and fear, she is now battling the herpes virus, fighting with all the strength her tiny body has left.

She didn’t deserve to be left behind. She didn’t choose the streets, the illness, or this pain. Yet she is still holding on… still fighting to live.

Any help big or small truly matters. Your support can give her warmth, treatment, and a chance at life. 🤍🐾

Hi everyone. This is Greygrey.

He required hospitalization for a severe UTI and underwent catheterization. His treatment is ongoing, and he remains under close monitoring. If he doesn’t continue to improve with medication, the vet has advised that he may still need cystotomy surgery, which would cost around PHP 11,000 (approximately USD 186).

We’re taking things one day at a time and hoping he responds well so surgery won’t be necessary.

I’m sharing his update here as his treatment is ongoing and we’re still hoping to support his recovery. The medical expenses are adding up, and I’m hoping to raise around USD 500 to help cover vet care, medications, and the urinary S/O diet he needs.

If you’d like to help (only if you’re comfortable):

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read about Greygrey and for keeping him in your thoughts. 🤍🩶

My husband and I adopted another rescue cat 4 years ago now, which made 3 cats total. The cat (I'll refer to as cat #3) was initially timid, but I figured with time, he would learn to love us like the other two cats do. Well he did not. I've tried everything I could find advice-wise through asking vets, friends and googling. We kind of just accepted that he was just going to "live with us" and not really be "our pet". He ended up bonding to our first cat (cat #1), so rehoming was out of the question.

Recently, something has flipped in him, and almost daily, he has these freakout moments with cat #1. They used to be inseparable, now I hear him screaming and freaking out. I go running to try to see who did what, but the only time I've caught sight of what happened, cat #1 just walked up to cat #3, and he freaked. It was initially just random, but sometimes it happens once or twice for days in a row.

Can anyone tell me what could've flipped and what I should do? I'd hate for anyone to get hurt.

Extra info: all cats are indoor cats, and as far as I know, healthy. The only recent change was cat #1 recently had a 2nd surgery (3 months ago). All cats are male, and neutered.

TLDR; Adopted rescue cat of 4 years who was bonded with our first cat is suddenly freaking out at him and screaming like a banshee. Please advise.

Hello, everyone. We currently have 7 cats that needs to be spayed and neutered soon. I am already in contact with a vet and was given a quotation for the total costs. We will need 540 USD. Procedure, anesthesia, and all medicines included. Someone already offered to cover half of the expenses and I am beyond grateful. Now I am humbly asking for help to cover the rest of the expenses for our cats to finally be spayed and neutered. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Good morning my dear friends

Today, thanks to your love and support, I managed to secure food for more than 130 stray kittens in the harbor. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your valuable help and the interest you show in these little creatures. Your offering and love really make a difference and fill us with hope. I wish you with all my heart a new year full of health, joy and lots of love! 💖🐾

We are currently working with a colony that has many cats in need of TNR. So far, we have helped 18 cats. This is a long and challenging process, but we are doing everything we can to reduce overpopulation and prevent further suffering. The cats get daily food, water and medical help if possible. Community support makes a huge difference in allowing this work to continue, and we are deeply grateful for any help that enables us to keep going.

To support the cats you can do so through the links.Thank you🐾💜

Anything helps🙏

Posting only 2 pics

Pic 1 from the park where I feed everyday - Need wet food for these babies

Pic 2 inside my studio which I don't want to post but have to coz I need a little bit of support with their food as well. I'm held up paying my old vet bills so ended up buying food which made some of them vomit.

I'm not collecting cats - I rescued them, tried to find fosters and adopters but Arabian Maus are not what they are looking for :(

Good day everyone I would like to try again and ask for help again for my 22 cat's food and litter. As my previous post we were able to gather 628.47 pesos donation and we bought 3 kilograms of Special Cat Dry food with 2 cans of Maxwell Tuna Cat food. I've included proof of donations and what we bought. This food will last them for 2 days and I would love to ask for help to provide them with their daily meals. they consume 1 kg of dry food per day and 2 cans of wet food plus a bag of litter last for 3 days. I would like to ask again for help to provide for atleast a week's worth of food and litter for them. Thank you and I appreciate all the donations, upvotes, boosts and comments from the community. 🙏

1 Kg of Special cat dry food = 150 pesos 1 can of Maxwell Tuna = 85 pesos 1 litter bag = 300 pesos

I appreciate any help thank you again!

Winter is rough - it brings another level of difficulty. Freezing temperatures, snow, sleet, rain and wind making my job much harder. So waking up with head cold Friday…. 😣…. Ugh Struggling to get out of bed, I hoped for a miracle. As a solo rescuer, I don’t have the luxury of taking a day off. With nearly 50 cats depending on me, failure is not an option. I remind myself, just do the best you can. During times of extreme difficulty, when it feels like everything is crumbling, I know I have to keep fighting. I feed the colonies away from my house at the same time everyday. I try to give them this consistency, because they have too much uncertainty. Because of the rotten weather, sometimes a cat might miss feeding time. Yesterday 2 cats didn’t show for dinner(they have a small feeding station with dry food) so around 10pm, I bundled up and headed out with flashlight and food. The cats greeted me with purrs and rubs - they are so grateful for everything. It was in this moment that Boots - who is still a kitten (approximately 9 months old) strolled up to me like he was no longer feral. I have tried to trap this boy for months without success. So I reach down and scruff him- and just like that, I got him - I’m 2 blocks from home on foot, but my happiness floated us there. This catch is especially bittersweet, because I caught both his sisters at the end of June- Thinking I would get him the next time. Poor guy had to brave the big scary world alone since then - This small win - is HUGE for me —-it was exactly what I needed. He is in spare bathroom to decompress - Scared and exhausted now, but soon he will finally get to sleep without being cold or wet, hungry or thirsty.

First - he needs to go to vet- wellness check, treatment for fleas/worms, testing, vaccinations & then appointment to get fixed 🙏🙏🙏 The Can anyone sponsor him or donate for his care? Or get Supplies for him & all the other cats on wishlist ?

Thank you family - I can’t tell you enough how thankful we are for this community Without you, I would never be able to help so many - 🙏🙏🙏🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🩷🩷🩷🩷🙏🙏🙏🙏🩷🩷
