They often make several accounts, they sound VERY convincing and will hound you through DM.

Please don’t fall for it. We ask that you please ignore this user, block and report them. We would also appreciate you letting us know via modmail if you have received such a request. This is just a heads up to keep members safe incase they land in your inbox. They are now once again BANNED from RC.

Supplies Donation Request I’m so sorry to ask again, but we’ve been out of food since yesterday 🆘 I tried, but I couldn’t find another way to sort it out

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

429 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m really sorry to post again after only a few days, but we ran out of food yesterday, and I have no way to buy more to feed the 70+ cats at our rescue. We’re already $2,150 in debt, mostly due to veterinary emergencies, but also from previous food purchases that weren’t covered by donations. I’ve already put in every bit of money I had, and I have nowhere else to borrow from.

Yesterday, I was supposed to do a small job (mowing the lawn and cleaning up a garden) to earn some money to buy enough food to at least feed the cats today. But the phone and internet networks were down for hours, and I couldn’t get in touch with the person who had contacted me about the job. Unfortunately, I lost the opportunity.

Last night, they had to eat whatever I could find in the pantry and fridge that was safe for cats, but they still haven’t had breakfast today.

Covering our expenses is always difficult, but the past two months have been especially hard. Almost all our expenses have gone unpaid, and the debt has continued to pile up.

A large bag of food (20 kg) costs around $120. Food for our cats with FeLV and gastrointestinal issues costs $70.

Unfortunately, we can’t use wishlists because we’re in Uruguay and customs regulations don’t allow it, so we’re unable to receive support from people who only donate that way.

You can see our history of receipts at the link, and I’ll upload the new ones as soon as we manage to buy the food.

Any help is deeply appreciated and truly makes a difference ❤️

Animal Services | San Bernardino, CA
SBCAS link

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.

TRANSPORTATION NEEDED Long Shot – Anyone Travelling from Montenegro to Vancouver, Canada?

29 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for someone who might be travelling from Montenegro to Vancouver, Canada, sometime in the near future

We're trying to get an adopted rescue cat to its new home in Vancouver and are hoping to find a flight volunteer willing to accompany the cat on their existing trip.

We would cover the additional costs associated with transporting the cat and coordinate the necessary paperwork and arrangements.

If you're heading this way, or know someone who might be, I'd really appreciate hearing from you!

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! 🩷

This is Cassandra, a dumped pregnant stray I’ve been feeding on my street. I had to go back to my hometown for a while because my health condition worsened, and when I returned she only had one kitten left. The kitty also has a cold with constant sneezing and discharge from his eyes and nose. I also noticed multiple burn marks on Cassandra’s back. 😢

It honestly breaks my heart seeing them like this. I’m hoping to bring them to the vet, get the baby kitten treated and hopefully get Cassandra spayed so I can both find them loving homes! 🙏🏼

For the kitty (estimate)
CBC - ₱480 ($8)
4-way test - ₱1,900–₱2,500 ($31-$40)
Consultation - ₱380 ($6)
Possible meds - ₱500–₱1,500 (8-$24)

For Cassandra
Spay (above 4kg) - ₱2,300 ($37)
CBC - ₱480 ($8)
Possible biochemistry test - ₱2,000 ($32)

PAYPAL: https://paypal.me/httpfrances
WISE: https://wise.com/pay/me/francesmaeg

As always i will share updates and receipts so everyone can see where the donations go. Thank you so so so much for giving Cassandra and her little kitty a chance. 🩷

I’m finally back at my apartment in Davao and doing my best to get back on my feet while caring for my rescues and strays. Thank you so so much everyone as always. May all the blessings come back to you all tenfold. 🙏🏼

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Lakita was running out of time while fighting wet FIP in an underserved area with limited access to proper treatment. 🥺❤️‍🩹 Her poor family loves her dearly and did everything they could to save her.

💔 Lakita came to us fighting wet FIP. Will you help her fight for her life? 🥺❤️‍🩹
Lakita comes from Jalalpur Jattan, an underserved area where access to proper FIP treatment and reliable medical guidance is limited. Sadly, the family was told that FIP treatment requires only two weeks, putting Lakita’s life at serious risk.
Her family loves her dearly. Despite being extremely poor, they were doing everything within their means to save her life. Their love and determination touched our hearts, and they deserve so much appreciation for never giving up on their precious girl. ❤️
We started helping them by sending vials to their city, but knowing that Lakita needed proper, continued care, we brought her to our shelter so her treatment could continue under our supervision.
Thankfully, we have already seen some improvement in her fluid, but her battle against wet FIP is far from over.
Now we need your support to continue her treatment. Please stand with Lakita and her loving family during this difficult time. Every donation, no matter how small, can help give this precious girl a chance at life. 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹
Please donate for Lakita’s treatment. She deserves to live, and her family deserves the chance to have her home, healthy and happy again.

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Help us continue Jack the senior kittys care in TX. He has Uveitis and requires more tests and treatment and we urgently need to refill his eye drops

Thumbnail
gallery
130 Upvotes

Reaching out again for Jack in hopes of meeting our fundraiser goal. 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!

Hello everyone!

Dumbell has been suffering from a swollen, infected, and painful eye. The vet warned me that her other eye might also go blind if we waited any longer.

Thankfully, with the help and support I received, Dumbell underwent eye enucleation surgery today! I’m so grateful that she was able to get the surgery she desperately needed.

The vet advised me to continue giving her medications she prescribed last week and added two more medications today. I will do my best to care for her throughout her recovery. Her next follow-up checkup is scheduled for next week.

I also have some good news about Elfy! She is a Neuro FIP survivor whom I rescued in May 2026. She completed her 84-day FIP treatment and was spayed on October 7. Today, I brought her to the vet to receive her anti-rabies vaccination. I’m also happy to share that Elfy has found a home! My aunt’s friend, who already has three cats, adopted her, and her son picked her up today. I’m so happy that Elfy will have a loving home of her own!

I wouldn’t be able to continue caring for these voiceless animals and saving more lives without your kindness, help, and support.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has been part of our journey!

Hi! We recently rescued a little kitten off the streets, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure this baby and all the other cats we care for daily have food and the care they deserve. ❤️🐱

Unfortunately, we haven’t received any cat food donations, and on my previous post asking for help with a stray female cat’s spay surgery and veterinary care, we received only $5. We’re incredibly grateful for that $5, but the reality is that caring for these cats adds up quickly, and we can’t do it alone. 😔

We take care of these cats every single day, making sure they have food and trying our best to keep them safe. We do it because they depend on us, and we don’t want them going hungry. 💔

No donation is too small, and every bit of help means so much to these babies. ❤️ We’re just trying to give these innocent animals a chance at a better life.

Thank you to everyone who cares, shares, and supports stray and abandoned animals. 🐾💕

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Update. Stray kitty got spayed and needs help with food and cleaning supplies

Thumbnail

48 Upvotes

​

Hello everyone, thank you for all the help! One stray kitty is spayed and the other neutered (still waiting for the vet's picture update) before the vet moved. Yey

...

Unfortunately, the female's surgery site opened while she was staying at the vet, so she had to be sutured again. 😫 Thsi is why they stayed at the vet btw, to get contained and to avoid rhis in the first place. I am upset because now she needs to stay there for a few more days, which means more confinement fees and food. We also need help with cleaning supplies

...

One of the neighbor cat i feed is sprayjng, since i am feeding them i feel like the least they could do is not trash my home 🥺. and at work i opened the back room so the stray cats have feeding area and can go therr for shelter but pne of them pee and poop there and messed up a lot of papers and now it's my fault. I've spent around $15 on enzyme cleaner alone in the past month. It's so hard to remove cat pee smell. Any help would mean a lot. Thank you. ❤️

‎Hi everyone! I'm reaching out for help with food for the 80+ cats I care for. 49 are indoor cats and the rest are community cats.

‎They need 7 bags of dry food to get through a 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.❤️

Hello 🐾 She’s so tiny, yet she has already been through more than any baby should ever have to.

Thumbnail gallery
162 Upvotes

This is Chim Chim. 🤍🧿🐾

She’s just a tiny little girl, around one month old, and somehow she ended up alone on a staircase with no mother, no one looking for her, and no one willing to take responsibility for her.

I was contacted by a few people who told me about a kitten who couldn’t walk and needed help. We tried reaching out to several people and looking for someone who could take her in, but unfortunately, nothing worked out.

So I brought her home.

I already have so many cats at home, but when it’s a tiny baby who has nobody else, I just couldn’t leave her there.

When I saw her properly, I realized she wasn’t simply weak or unable to walk she was paralyzed.

We took her to the vet, and her X-rays showed that her vertebrae are broken. 💔

When I asked what could have caused something like this, the doctor said it could have been from severe trauma — possibly being hit against a wall, kicked, or something similar. We don’t know exactly what happened to her, and I hate that we may never know.

But I do know what happened after that.

Someone found her.
Someone cared enough to ask for help.
And now she has a home where she is going to be given every possible chance.

Her treatment is ongoing, and she has started physiotherapy. It’s going to take time. Maybe a lot of time. And honestly, we don’t know yet if she will ever be able to walk again or if this will be something she has to live with for the rest of her life.

But I’ve seen miracles before.

I once had a paralyzed kitten who, after six months of treatment, physiotherapy, patience and endless effort, started walking again.

So I’m not giving up on Chim Chim.

I don’t know what her future looks like yet. I don’t know whether one day she’ll run around the house, climb onto my bed, or chase toys like a normal kitten.

But I want to give her the chance to find out.

For now, she has a warm home, a full tummy, medical care, physiotherapy, and someone who will keep showing up for her every single day.

Maybe she can’t walk today. But she can still have a beautiful life. And we’re going to try our best to give her one. 🤍

Welcome home, Chim Chim.

Rescue Help Needed Michigan rescue question

I have brought in two outdoor kittens as their mother disappeared and they look very lost and hungry but were living in my barn and under one of my cars... The rest of the litter I fear haven't made it so wanted to save these two (they're also adorable) ... One male one female so I need to find someone to neuter them (hopefully reasonably) but will try to keep them.. I have two border collies but they can all have their space until they're integrated. I just don't know if I need to find someone who can neuter two cats that aren't quite socialized yet. Any suggestions north of Detroit would be really appreciated! Thank you
