Lately, it has been an overwhelming time with so many cats and kittens needing help, and I want to share what has been happening with my rescue.
One of the little kittens I took in has an eye infection along with a viral infection. He went to the vet for an examination and medication. The very next day, he developed green diarrhea, which immediately worried us. His vet said he needed to be seen right away, so we rushed him to the emergency vet. Every unexpected emergency brings additional expenses, but when a tiny life depends on you, you do everything you can.
I’m also caring for another baby kitten with neurological issues. He needs extra attention and care, and we’re doing everything possible to give him the best chance at life.

And then there’s Leo. He was another emergency that put us through one of the scariest experiences imaginable. Leo had panleukopenia, a serious and potentially deadly disease in cats. His treatment cost more than $5,000, and he spent almost a month in the hospital fighting for his life. It was terrifying, but Leo made it through. Seeing him survive was a blessing, although the financial burden of his treatment was enormous.
I’ve also been caring for three other kittens whom I’ve had since they were little. They fought coccidia and panleukopenia, but they made it through! I recently took them for health checks because they’re getting ready to go on transport and find their forever homes. They’re healthy and ready for their next chapter, and that makes every struggle worth it.

And there’s a story that touched my heart in a very special way: Petals. I found her suffering from a terrible nose injury caused by a mosquito allergy. She had been missing for more than a year, and I was able to find her family and reunite them.
I recently received a picture of Petals with her owners, and seeing her healing and back with her family filled my heart with so much happiness. It was such an emotional journey. Knowing that she is no longer out on the streets suffering, that she is safe, loved, and finally home, means more than words can express. I’m so grateful I was the person who found her and helped change her life forever. These are the moments that remind me why I keep going, even when everything feels impossible. ❤️

On top of all these rescues, I care for more than 50 community cats who depend on me for food and daily care. I also help abandoned, sick, injured, and senior cats whenever I can.
I’m a solo rescuer, doing all of this on my own. Every vet visit, medication, emergency, bag of food, and necessary supply comes with a cost. The emergencies are unpredictable, and the expenses add up quickly, especially when several animals need help at the same time.
I do this because these animals deserve a chance. They didn’t ask to be abandoned, become sick, or struggle to survive. They deserve love, compassion, and someone willing to show up for them.
But the truth is, it gets overwhelming trying to carry it all alone.

I’m asking for help because I want to continue saving lives, caring for the cats who depend on me, and giving these little ones the chance they deserve.

If anyone would like to support or simply sharing, upvoting my posts, every little bit truly makes a difference.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me continue this work. There are so many more lives that need saving, and I’m doing everything in my power to help as many as I can. ❤️

Hi everyone! I care for a few community cats and currently need some help keeping their food stocked. I’ve made an Amazon wishlist with their regular food and essentials.

I’m a student and managing their expenses alongside my own, so even a small contribution would genuinely help. No pressure at all — even sharing the post would mean a lot. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and to those who help these little ones. 🐾

My sister is located in Joliet, IL and has fallen in love with a cat that lives on her property. There's plenty of cats in the area but they all seem to belong to people as they're not always out and appear to go back to their home or they have collars. A young cat started appearing near her home and they've built up a good enough rapport for him to basically live there (outside), he doesn't ever leave and waits for her at all times of the day.
He is the sweetest boy and she planned to bring him inside her home as the winters can get very cold here, and he's a little guy.

We took him to the vet today to check him out, he's in surprisingly good health with no mites/ fleas, etc,. But he tested with a very faint positive for FeLV. This is the worst news we could have gotten because she already has two kitties and feels very uncomfortable bringing him and potentially infecting one of them. She spends a lot of time with him in her garage and we're planning to get it warm in there for him in the winter or if we have to, maybe make an enclosed space for him in their basement.

He is just truly one of the absolute sweetest most wanting to be around people cats in the whole entire world. He did so good at the vet today, he's just very docile. We're starting him on antibiotics flea/tick, deorming stuff, he also received an antibiotic shot as well for a fever. We will be getting him neutered. If there is anyone at all in the area who doesn't have another cat that is looking to take care of a sweet boy whos in need of a loving home, please think about this. You can come meet him and see what you think, the vet believes he's about 2 years old, he's very playful.
We are devastated with the diagnosis and we would do anything to get this boy a loving home.
Please reach out with any questions. I can send pictures and videos as well!

❤️ Update on Luffy 🐾

Luffy is still undergoing treatment, and we're doing our best to help him get through this.

For those who haven't seen our previous post, we rescued Luffy from the heavy rains after finding him alone with no sign of his mother. Unfortunately, he's been in a really bad condition. He has a high fever, jaundice, and severe weakness, and he has stopped eating. He also has wounds from a heavy tick and flea infestation, which has affected his ears as well.

The vet has advised daily saline treatment for at least 7 days, along with medication and treatment for his wounds. His treatment is still ongoing, and he's getting better but we still need to complete his treatment

So far, we've managed to raise $23 out of our $146 goal. We're thankful to everyone who has donated or shared his post, but we still need $123 to help cover his medical expenses.

We really want to give this little guy a chance to recover. If you can spare even a small amount, it would mean a lot to us. And if you're unable to donate, please consider sharing and boosting this post. It might help us reach someone who can.

Goal: $146
Raised: $23
Remaining: $123

💔 HOW MUCH PAIN CAN ONE LITTLE SOUL BEAR?
We rescued this poor kitty with a horrific mouth infection and a severe maggot infestation. Part of his mouth is rotting, and we can only imagine the unbearable pain he has been living with.
He desperately needs emergency surgery to extract the affected teeth and remove the dead, infected tissue. This is not just a mouth infection anymore. If left untreated, the infection could spread into his bloodstream and cause life-threatening sepsis.
How could a little soul suffer this much without anyone noticing? He cannot tell us how much it hurts. He cannot ask for help. All he can do is endure the pain and hope someone will save him.
We have brought him to safety, but rescuing him is only the beginning. Now, he needs urgent medical intervention to have a chance at survival.
Please, we cannot do this alone. Our shelter is already struggling with so many sick babies, and every emergency comes with another mountain of medical expenses.
🙏 \*\*Please help us get him the surgery he desperately need\*\*s. Every donation, no matter how small, can help us fight for his life.
He deserves to live without pain. He deserves a chance to heal. Please don’t let us down when he needs us the most.

Hello amazing friends,

First, Update on Finn, she is hanging in there. I knew recovery would be a long road for this girl…her tiny body had been through such brutality. She has had a few bad days, but for the most part everyday she has been getting stronger-more alert. She slept so much the first week, such a relief to see her resting comfortably. She is finally realizing she is safe here, I’m still moving and speaking quietly….hoping to assure her that I will never hurt her. She is not gaining weight like I hoped, but she has her vet recheck this week. If she is strong enough, I’ll also have them do screening (FIV/FEL).
Praying for good news for her.
I have had a few setbacks this week, nothing major, and the memory of Amelia has made me break down a few times. Losing her last week took a huge part of my heart. The only thing I could do was stay busy to not dwell on it…. But after going at everything so hard for so long….my body is tired, my mind is tired,
I am ….tired. Working full speed ahead from morning to night for so long now….i still hoping I find
SOMEONE- ANYONE
to give me hands on help for a day or two. Tonight I’m doing some quick rain cleanup and then adding another 2 heated houses. Temperature reaching freezing tonight 😥.
Please send some warm positive energy my way -
Thanks for being the family I so desperately need and love. Without this community, I would not be able to care for roughly 65 cats EVERY DAY-
I show up for them no matter what -because I am all they have. Most of them have been failed by people, but i refuse to fail them.

Right now : I need litter, (have none) high calorie food for Finn, winter items (heated bowl - insulation), wet food for colony, plus I could really use one more trap. PLUS: ALWAYS can use any funds on vet account. It’s at zero right now😥
Direct to VET - vet expenses are extremely big part of every week 🙏

Thanks for reading and as always
THANK YOU all for being the best part of humanity 🙏💜

Hello everyone! I have two major updates to share today, starting with some incredible news: Mandarin’s dental surgery yesterday went great! The vet ended up removing 7 bad teeth, and the total bill came to 3,810 RON (nearly $800 USD). $800 is such a massive, overwhelming amount of money for me, and I am so grateful thinking about how fortunate I am to have your support. I am beyond words, sincerely and deeply thankful to every single person who donated, shared, or sent kind thoughts. Without your extraordinary kindness, I seriously could never have made this surgery happen for him. Knowing that he won't have to live in pain anymore is the greatest gift, and I cannot thank you enough for saving my boy! 💜 He is recovering at home now, eating well, and slowly getting used to his newly healed mouth. We also did some blood tests which aren’t the best, but I think they will improve with fluids.

While focusing on Mandarin, 2 days ago I also found a young cat (around 6–8 months old) wandering near busy traffic and following people. I took her in and noticed she looked pregnant or nursing, so I spent days searching for kittens, but found none. She is completely calm indoors and shows no desire to go back outside. Today I took her to the vet, where they determined she either had a false pregnancy, had an abortion, or was separated from her kittens over a month ago. She is now on antibiotics, medication to reduce her swollen mammary glands, and pest treatments.

Her main issue right now is diarrhea and a weak appetite. I strongly suspect Giardia, but after paying for Mandarin's major procedure, I simply couldn't afford the diagnostic test today. I paid what I could, and it is genuinely sad seeing a cat who is still practically a baby herself go through so much already. And she’s not the only one…

Between Mandarin’s $800 surgery and this new rescue, my financial resources are completely drained. I need help covering her Giardia & FIV/FeLV tests, follow-up medications, and Mandarin would also need dental care products so we never end up in this situation again. Receipts from today's visit and Mandarin’s dental care are attached for full transparency. If you can donate even a small amount, or just boost and share this post, it would help so much. Thank you all for caring and being there for us!

San Bernardino City Animal Shelter is a high kill high volume operation. It is located in the largest county in the US. SBC is located in Southern California where the overpopulation crisis is raging. During kitten season new babies are turned in daily, sometimes 30 or more a day! People just don’t s/n in SBC! So we must keep up with the demand. Many cats brought in are sick injured confiscated or abandoned as well. The shelter does not offer much more than basic treatment for sick/injured cats either so they must exit quickly by rescue or they are listed for euthanasia with a fast deadline depending on the ability to care for them. We do have amazing volunteers though that give us first hand information updates photos videos and almost instant feedback. Please help us by pledging and donating when we post and rescue. Thank you.
Also we always need transport to get cats to rescues. So if you can help by setting aside a small amount to our transport fund this is appreciated. It doesn’t go to the rescue it gets them TO the rescue. We absolutely need this part too.

I know yall may be getting tired of seeing posts for this boy but I must keep advocating for this senior sweetie!

In the past couple days, Jack has become more withdrawn, hiding, and though he wants to eat-he has obviously begun to lose weight. He did not seem initially bothered by his eye and has done well on the drops but today he is pawing at it, and just does not seem like himself as much. He does not seem as chatty but is still coming out when I call him.

Please help ensure we make it to our appointment this afternoon if you have the means to help.

The vet said Jack has Uveitis. Uveitis causes painful inflammation in the eye and you can see redness in the white parts of the eye as well as pressure build up.

This is generally a secondary issue caused by something going on in the body. Most common causes are FIV or Fel/V positive status or Bartonella. We need to get this senior kitty tested and continue his current eye regemine as well as his rechecks to monitor his eye pressure. This can potentially become life threatening if we are unable to find and treat what the cause is.

Jack is now considered a special case in our rescue, and we are hoping to continue his care. Currently, we are hoping to raise $700 for this sweet senior boy.

If you would prefer to donate to the vet clinic directly, he is under Sarah Goodman at Northside Animal Hospital in Waco, TX. Their phone number is 254-753-0155.

I will not be able to see when donations are made directly to our account. If you donate to the clinic, please let me know, and I will update the fundraiser accordingly!

Thanks so much for your help in his journey and with the others in our care. We couldn't do this without you!

I have a horrible situation right now, this house on my street has 22 cats. I’ve reported them to multiple organizations and I believe something is finally going to happen to save these kitties. They have kittens and they’re handing them out to people that walk by their house. It’s horrible and one of the cats has drawn a loving to me and my toddler son he comes to our house every night we feed him. He stays on our porch all day we play with him. He has ticks all over him. I’ve put some tick and flea ointment on his fur and I asked my neighbors if we could have him and they said yes they didn’t even know his name, they call their cats by numbers. With our house mortgage being too high in this economy and the bills being high I was wondering, does anyone know any nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts that could help me I wanna take this buddy in he needs his shots. He needs a check up he needs to be neutered. I don’t know what to do. I called around. People are saying $125 just to get them neutered not even any of his shots things like this I’m lost.

There are 2 kittens who need a safe place to go. Only one is shown in the video, but they need to be fostered together. ❤️

Their mom was a cat I trapped and spayed, and I later found out she was lactating. I wasn't sure if any of her kittens had survived, but thankfully, these two did. Sadly, I don't know what happened to the rest.

With the cold approaching, I'm desperately trying to get these babies somewhere safe. Vetting will be fully covered, and if you can foster and provide food and litter, it would mean so much.

I know I post these pleas all the time, but I can't stop trying for them. They deserve a chance, too. Please message me if you can help or share this post. 💔

‼️✨Adding 7 new foster kittens to the large number of fosters I already have is getting expensive. We need to provide ourselves and the other fosters with food / litter! If anyone can help out, I’ll drop my amazon wishlist link below!!!

We also desperately need community cat food, we typically feed friskies from sams bc its the best deal for the amount you get.

Kitty I have named Max came running to me in the middle of the night meowing with cries when he saw me on my porch. He is young and has worm belly and needs neutered. I am requesting funds to help with getting him neutered and dewormed and supplies like food and shelter outdoors to relax. I have 9 animals already but there are no no kill shelter openings and so I want to care for Max the best I can. He needs shots and neuter before can begin integration with my other animals so any support would help immensely as I am barely paying my own bills as is. He is super sweet and loving kitty.

Support at this Venmo would be appreciated

Neuter is 65 at charity clinic with shots and check-up at my vet is another 174 and flea meds 40 for basic needs right now. Dewormer is 40

If you would prefer Amazon wishlist I can work on that tomorrow for basic cat needs.

Thank you.

Five days into new space. Let me tell you about these three, because I have mostly been posting numbers and I would rather tell you who they actually are.

Boots is ten years old as of September, which means she had a birthday in a bedroom that is not the one she sleeps in now. She has nineteen fewer teeth than she started the summer with. What that means in practice is that her mouth does not quite close the way it used to, so she drools when she sleeps and wakes up doing this slow jaw-stretching chew, like someone working out a cramp. She gets the drool on her own tail. I wipe it off. This is apparently just our arrangement now.

In July she tried dry food and it hurt so badly she backed away from the bowl. Last month she started eating kibble by choice. I watched her do it and had to go sit down.

She has her own room here, which was not a preference but the entire reason this apartment mattered. She is still working out whether she wants to share space with the other two, and I am letting her decide that on her own schedule. She has earned the right to take her time.

Sable is our tortoiseshell. She came to us in May after being abandoned, and she is suspicious in the specific way of a cat who has been let down before. She has also figured out that the sound of mouse-clicking means I am at my computer, which she has decided means laser pointer time. I bought an automatic laser pointer specifically to buy myself working hours. It half worked.

She also, for reasons I cannot fully explain, goes completely feral over my worn shirts. Specifically around the armpits. Rolls on them, sniffs them, becomes a different animal. I use a natural deodorant and I think there is something in it she regards as a controlled substance.

Cosimo is four and a half months, grey, and legally a menace. He was born eighteen days after my cat Prince died, which I noticed and have not drawn any conclusions about. He gets neutered next month, assuming he does not start marking before then, which is a race I am currently watching.

Sable and Cosimo are bonded, and this is the part that surprised me. When it was just her and Boots in separate rooms, Sable was constantly at me for attention, increasingly so. Now she has a kitten to wrestle with multiple times a day and she is visibly more content. She is four times his size and still lets him pin her. They cuddle. A friend put it well: having each other when I am not around is huge.

That is why I will not separate them, and why "three cats together" was never negotiable.

Where things stand.

The biggest hurdle is past. Lease signed, deposit paid, everyone moved. That happened because of this community and because one person gave $1,900 last week, who I still have no way to thank directly.

We are at $4,157 of $10,000.

Still ahead:
November 1: $1,590 rent
November 15: $795, second half of the deposit
December 1: $1,590 rent
January 15: $400 pet deposit

And the plain truth of the last week: bills kept coming and my account has gone negative more than once. Furnishing an apartment from nothing costs more than I planned for. Almost nothing came with me from the shared household I left.

On income. I have interviews and conversations actively in motion and I am pushing on several at once rather than waiting on any one. Nothing signed yet. I think that changes soon. I will say so here the moment it does.

What I am asking for is the bridge between now and then. Not a rescue, just enough stability that the cats stay housed while I get work underway.

If you have already given, a share beats another donation. 20+ people got us this far. Your networks reach people I never will. Send it to one person who likes cats.

And if you are near Eugene with furniture you are storing and no longer want, I would be grateful. A bed especially, for Boots's room. Right now it is a room she was put in rather than a room that is hers, and a bed would let me actually spend time in there with her instead of visiting. A table, chairs, a dresser, whatever. Message me and I will arrange pickup.

For anyone new. Boots was found starving outside our old neighborhood in late June at 6.7 pounds, crying out and backing away from her own food. Her surgeon said it was likely the worst oral pain a cat can experience and her tissue was too damaged to hold sutures. That surgery was about $3,450 and this subreddit helped pay for it. She is 8.26 pounds now and her bloodwork is normal.

Her complete veterinary file from Echo Hollow Vet Hospital and Urgent Care in Eugene is available to anyone who asks. I completed full moderator verification here in July.

Three months ago one of these cats could not eat. Last Saturday she rode to a house in the woods and now has a window to sit in. Thank you for that.

Did you know that feline mammary tumors are often aggressive and can be malignant? 😔

Zen had tumor removal surgery in June and her biopsy showed high-grade tubular mammary gland carcinoma.

In her x-rays last month, her lungs are still clear but a couple of tiny dots are “indicative” of a spread. We have to come back for another screening this weekend to see if there are any changes.

In this regard, we are raising funds for the following:

CBC - $15
Xray - $17 x 2 panels
Ultrasound - $15

Our remaining funds from last time was used to cover another rescue’s confinement. Thanks, LG NN ET and ebay user!

Zen remains to be the sassy kitty that she is so we are very hopeful about her condition. 🙏

Thank you, KS and MM! 🙏

‎Trying again to reach out for help with food for the 80+ cats I care for. 49 are indoor and the rest are community cats.

‎They need 7 bags of dry food to get through the week, with each bag costing $22. That's a lot of food to provide, but these cats depend on me everyday, and I do my best to make sure they have something to eat.

‎I'm just one person trying to care for all of them, and covering their daily food expenses is a constant challenge. I still have other expenses to manage, but feeding them is something I can't simply put aside.

‎If you're able to help with even one bag, or contribute any amount toward the food, it would mean so much. Every little bit helps me get closer to providing a week's worth of food for these cats.

‎Thank you so much to everyone who continues to support and care about them. Your kindness helps me keep going and makes a real difference in their lives.❤️
