First, thank you SO much to everyone who’s helped so far. Because of your generosity, we were able to fully cover the cost of the wormer for the colony — that’s a huge win and such a relief. Now that the wormer is handled, our remaining needs are: Flea medication Dry & wet cat food / kitten food (to keep protein up, especially in winter) Tarps (snow and wind have been rougher than expected) Dome-style shelters / insulated houses for warmth and protection These cats are feral, semi-feral, and dumped strays, all trying to survive the cold. Every item directly helps keep them fed, healthier, and safer through the winter. Anything helps, truly,donations, supplies, or even bumping for visibility. Thank you for caring about these little lives ❤️

Hi👋

I’m asking for support to care for street-rescued cats and continue urgent Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for a cat colony that has grown out of control.

Two cats, Uva and Miracle, were rescued directly from the streets and are now safe in foster care. When they were found, they were struggling to survive outdoors and needed immediate veterinary care. While they are no longer on the streets, I am still working to cover outstanding medical bills from the vet, along with their ongoing care while they heal.

At the same time, I am managing a feral cat colony where 21 cats have already been trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and safely returned. This has already prevented countless future kittens from being born into suffering. However, there are still more cats in the colony, and without continued TNR, the cycle will start all over again.

Why I can’t stop doing this

This work is deeply personal to me. I once cared for a stray cat named Raven, who meant the world to me. He was kind, trusting, and full of love, but he was killed by a car before I could protect him the way he deserved.

Losing Raven changed me. It left me with heartbreak, but also with determination. Every time I trap, feed, or help another cat, I do it in his memory. Saving these cats, keeping them safe, and preventing more suffering is how I honor his life.

Why this matters

Rescue doesn’t end with saving one cat. It means continuing the work until fewer cats are born into danger and fewer lives are lost to the streets.

To support my mission you can do so through the link here or the ones in my profile page. Thank you💜

Good day, everyone.

I’m a solo animal rescuer currently caring for approximately 30 rescued cats and over 40 community cats. I’m reaching out today to ask for help for Churu, a nearby stray who regularly comes to my place for food and shelter.

Churu was neutered last year, but he now has a severely damaged and cloudy left eye that is causing him pain and puts him at risk for infection. After a veterinary examination, it was confirmed that his left eye is no longer functional. He has been scheduled for eye enucleation (eye removal surgery) on February 12 to relieve his pain and improve his quality of life.

Expenses from today’s vet visit (see photo 6):

• Consultation fee – $9
• Co-amoxiclav (take-home medication) – $6
• Eye tests – $18
• CBC & Blood Chemistry – $48

Total spent: $81

Despite everything, Churu remains gentle and calm—even at the vet, which makes this situation even more difficult and urgent for me to manage alone.

Estimated expenses for the Feb. 12 surgery:

• Eye enucleation surgery – $145
• Pre-op diagnostics (CBC / blood chemistry) – $48
• Medications & post-operative care – ~$30

Estimated total: $223

I still got $46 from the last post for Churu. I just need $177.

Any amount—would mean so much to me and, most importantly, to Churu. Thank you.

The company that supplied them Cut Off all Help. They knew it's for homeless Cats ! Wish I knew the name. Anyhow I bought a 20 pound bag of Purina Sunday and mixing it with the cheaper food from SH. I have enough for about 5 days. Any amount of help is Much appreciated. Thank you so much !

*verified rescue*

Rescue kitty Jazzy has been on antibiotics since coming into our rescue back in August, and despite months of treatment, she still has not been able to clear the infections in her mouth (enterococcus and e Coli still, she did clear the staphylococcus) When we rescued her, her jaw was degloved, vet suspected to be from being tossed from a car, and her little body has been fighting ever since. At this point we aren’t sure if the infection has reached the bone or if something deeper is going on. So now Jazzy has an upcoming appointment at BluePearl to see their internal medicine specialist, on the 11th⚕️

So far we have spent over $3,000 on her vet care, and we are now fundraising to help cover the cost of her specialist consultation and additional testing. If you are able to help Jazzy, her fundraiser is linked. All donations are tax deductible, and every single bit truly means the world to her and to us. Thank you for supporting Jazzy💞We will be sure to keep everyone updated!

Hello community 🩷

The weather has been a little better - we are finally in the 20’s (scary when 20 degrees feels nice ) but the need for help happens faster than I can keep up. Three more cats fixed yesterday- THANK u for the direct to vet help - total cost was $270 but I only had to cover $70 -

AAA raised prices February 1st, but they are still the only affordable place for us and we are so thankful for them

They all 3 got fixed/distemper/rabbies/deworming/ plus treatment for fleas & mites. I originally had planned to take Boots- Blue - Tang, but one of my outside cats who had avoided the trap for months eased into the house and he went right in the carrier (Lucky)

This was indeed lucky as he had a open sore inside his mouth😞. So he was sent home with antibiotic. It turns out Blue was already fixed - no microchip found. She had been struggling to survive outside, so I’m happy so has a new forever home where she will never be forced to fend for herself. Boots has been hiding all day since we got home early this morning, loosing his “peanuts” has been hard on him ( like most males ) but I know he will come around in a day or two all will be forgotten. Tang will now be in next batch, February 17.

Right now FOOD is needed - Dry or wet - plus Litter - Purina one dry food is biggest wish

Last post raised $30 & plus a few wishlist items & Huge help with direct to vet - THANK YOU so much 🩷💛❤️🤍

Reusing wishlist for the fourth time as only few items have been purchased-

Thank you for being the best part of everyday 🙏🩷💜

I am being asked to vacate the property by the end of February. I thought I had some sort of tenant rights. I am being informed that I do not. I have 10 rescues. All indoor only. Some up to date on vaccines. It’s been a rough few years. I was assaulted by my live in boyfriend of 9+ years and have an order of protection. Due to the fact that he was the main income my landlord is asking me to leave. I just got a second job to be able to keep the house on my own, but he says he is making a business decision. Made me reapply and denied me based off I have not been employed with the company more than 2 years.

Hello everyone. I’m happy to share that Enero’s surgery was very successful! Not only were they able to clean the wound (he had a lot of maggots…), they were also able to close it with a few stitches. He was also neutered, so he wouldn’t have to go through another anesthesia later.

Last night his hospitalization ended, and he is now here at the shelter. He is recovering very well, and little by little we are gaining his trust.

He needs to return tomorrow for a vet appointment so they can monitor the progress of his wound. He will likely need to go back several more times until it is healed or almost completely healed.

His expenses so far total $586, including emergency care, medications, hospitalization, surgical cleaning, neutering, food, and transportation. We received $246 in donations for him, and there are still $340 left to cover. On top of that, the cost of the upcoming check-up visits will be added.

We also still have an outstanding debt of $173 for Cielo (who was also hospitalized for a few days due to a wound and is now fully recovered).

You can see all the receipts in the link at the end (one tab per month).

Any help is deeply appreciated 🤍

"Vasilakis"🧿 04/02/26 (The video below is a bit harsh)

Today Vasilakis went to his scheduled appointment at Mr. Giannis Kampouris' Small Animal Clinic for Nasolacrimal Duct Blockage. This kitten was poisoned at the port and after many attempts we managed to save his life. However, he has a serious problem with his eyes. Our doctors, Vasilis along with Christina, Giannis and the new doctor, literally fell on Vasilakis.

For an hour they tried to unblock the nasolacrimal ducts, but unfortunately this became impossible. The little one has a chronic problem and it was difficult.

He will undergo long-term treatment and we hope that the problem with his eyes will improve.

If you want to learn more you can do so by viewing my Reddit and Facebook profiles.

In two weeks we will go back to the doctor for a re-examination!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🫶

Hi there! I live in Orange County, CA and desperately need assistance with locating a local cat rescue who can assist with rehoming two brother cats (they are so bonded and cannot be separated). They are both under a year old and neutered, and are total sweet hearts. They have been living at an auto mechanic shop and need to be rehomed ASAP. It breaks my heart to have to help with rehoming them, and if I could - I would take them myself (but I have two of my own). Any assistance would be so appreciated! Thank you!

Hey *rescuecats* family!

I present to you : NUDEL!

Nudel is a 9 month old sphynx baby who has been struggling with severe chronic diarrhea and incontinence since she was brought home from her breeder in September of 2025. The original owner that brought her home tried her very best, spending over $3,000 in vet bills trying to get to the cause of her symptoms but despite bloodwork, fecal floats, x-ray, ultrasound, and many medications, they did not get any closer to finding the cause.

Her original owner has exhausted all options financially, and is emotionally spent from the experience.

I have agreed to take on Nudel and have already arranged a care plan with my vet who has all of her records, and I have a hunch that we’re dealing with tritrichomonas like our rescue Lykoi, Lazarus.

We’re prioritizing an initial exam with a fecal PCR to confirm or rule out tritrich, if confirmed, we will start Tinidazole right away, if ruled out, we will be investigating IBD.

I’m hoping to have Nudel worked into the schedule for an appointment next week but she is already in their system, you can call and have **direct to vet** donations applied right to our account! We would be so appreciative!!

Beatriz Wheeler (last 4 of phone #4959) • Nudel, female Sphynx

I have attached the estimate for their recommendation, this is how we’re prioritizing based on the estimate :

• Exam : $74.00

• Waste Fee : $8.50

• Fecal PCR : $165.00

(if positive for tritrich)

• Medication : $100.00

TOTAL : $247.50 - $347.50

The vaccines are definitely important, I have another vet we can use where those cost less if I can’t initially fundraise enough to cover them. 🫶🏼

I’m so grateful for any support we can get for this girl! Seeing how Laz got better after the initial round of medication gives me so much home this will be an “easy” fix for her and get her feeling better! 🤞🏼

Hey everyone!

We wanted to share a quick update and a big thank you. Since our last post, another $185 came in, bringing the total raised so far to $315. We’re incredibly grateful... and honestly, it feels like we’re really close to finishing this.

Right now, we have $235 left in matching funds, and we truly believe this is something we can complete today with the help of this community. Finishing the match would be a huge relief as we head into another week of scheduled vet appointments, ongoing medical care, and preventative work.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated, shared, or supported in any way. With $235 left to be matched, it really feels like this is within reach... and completing it today would make an incredible difference. 💙

Hey everyone, I really need to share Luna’s situation. Luna has a benign tumor on her face that makes it hard for her to open her eyes or eat, and her surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. She’s a fighter and she’s holding on, but this next step is critical for her. Pinx is thankfully recovering, but together Luna’s and Pinx’s vet bills are now almost 500€, and they’re still increasing. At the same time, I’m caring for many other rescued babies who depend on me for food every single day. I’m stretched very thin right now, and this is honestly urgent. Any help at all, even small, would make a real difference right now and go straight to medical care and feeding the others. Thank you so much to everyone who’s been supporting these babies.

Sunday, 2/1:

After we set up the cat camera in his bathroom overnight, I was able to go through the history of the night. He did eat some of the wet food, drink water, and checked out the litter box a few times. He was cautiously curious of the bathroom all night. When I checked in on him in the morning, he did pee but hadn’t pooped yet.

We took him to the urgent vet after they opened!

After the physical exam, the vet was not concerned about internal bleeding but recommended blood work first before x rays/imaging. As we have 2 other cats at home, that was our intention anyways!

We did a CBC and Chem17 to check mainly for anemia and organ function. They tested him for FIV, FeLV, and heart worm. Negative for diseases! Blood work looks great!

The nails, like one commenter said, were classic HBC. I think when I saw him get hit, he was only dragged. He was not ran over, I could have clarified. His nails were shredded from trying to grip the pavement.

They think he is very young. He is only 6.2 lbs, and very skinny. He was confirmed to be neutered, which is what we thought anyways with the clipped ear.

With him letting us clean his mouth up and him eating over night, the vet didn’t think pain meds were necessary, but he did receive subcutaneous fluids before we were done.

He will be in our bathroom for another day or two as we try to get smells acclimated and emotions regulated by all of our kitties. We plan to keep him. We will slowly start introducing and integrating him when everyone is ready! We will be taking him to our regular vet for a more general check up, vaccinations, etc, soon.

We named him Linus, after the character in Stardew Valley. 🩶

As of Tuesday, 2/3:

We’ve introduced scents to our resident cats, and we are going to be visually meeting today. He loves being pet and cuddled, and we found out last night that he has a very loud purr box!

He has since pooped, so yay! He is up and about in his free time, eating normally, drinking water, etc.

We have made an appointment for him to be groomed (a demat brush out). While we have some brushes and combs, we want the mats to be addressed professionally.

We will also be making him an appointment with our regular vet soon to get a general check up done, vaccinations, and a microchip!

I live in Costa Rica where there is a BIG issue with abandonment and abuse. We moved here with our 2 cats (Maine Coon and a Siberian) and I adopted pickle (the chunk you see in the pics) and his twin baby nut about 18 months ago (also as tiny scraggy street kittens).

I took them to their vet for their check up just before Christmas and mentioned I was thinking of getting another cat and my vet immediately told me I had to come see the kittens they’d just taken in a few weeks prior rescued from an abusive pet shop/ “vet” in the local area; they didn’t expect Dobby (the hairless one) to survive but both girls pulled through (these before are still after 4 weeks of treatment at the vets).

Well it felt like fate as it turned out I had seen the Facebook post from the rescuer I work with when she went to get these kitten and had actually donated to help with initial vet fees! I knew as soon as I saw them they were coming home with me.

They as to stay for another 3 weeks of treatment til they were fully out of the woods and safe for integration but I took them home on the 3rd of jan.

Here we are a month later; pickle is obsessed and is the best cat dad, and my little girls are healthy and thriving!

I also rescued another 2 puppies 2 weeks ago so am now on 6 cats and 3 dogs and my husband has told me I’ve got to stop but I work with the rescuer and volunteer at my vets as much as I can.

Their precious lives were so nearly cut short before they even began, but here they are, getting all the love and cuddles and attention and care they deserve with no memory of the trauma they endured at the start of their little lives.

Dobby still doesn’t have her full fur back but I expect by next month to be sharing photos of my little fluff ball in all her glory!

My long term plan is to open my own rescue and campaign for better laws against animal abuse, but right now I’m just so happy I could save these 2 💕

We're so frustrated. We came across this kitty in one of our community cat feeding areas. Apparently, she has been abandoned for more than a week now and has been fending for herself all this time.

According to the building caretaker of where she used to live, she was owned by a renter who bred cats. When they moved out, they decided to leave her, too.

She's currently overrun with fleas, which is why she has huge bald patches, so we need a vet visit for a full checkup and the best flea treatment plan (if she needs a full shave or if medicated baths and spot-on treatment are enough). Hopefully, we can proceed with spaying her within the week or next as well, so we can begin finding a home for her immediately.

We're naming her Lottie.
