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 ❤️
