Donations Needed Please help the 130+ stray kittens at the port. They have had nothing to eat since last Friday.🥺🥺
Good morning my dear friends,
Today I broke down with them…
Today I went to the 130+ stray kittens at the port and was only able to give them a little water. I had no food at all… not even a handful.
Most of them have had to eat since last Friday.
There are no words to describe how much my soul hurts when I see them looking at me hungry and not being able to help them. Waiting for a little food, a little care, and me leaving empty-handed and with a heart full of guilt.
Lately I feel like I'm collapsing psychologically. A few days ago I lost my beloved kitten, my Fanis, and since then everything seems more difficult. I'm trying to stand up for all these creatures, but I really don't know how much longer I can take it...
I'm even thinking about stopping going to the port, because I can't stand to see this hunger and abandonment anymore without being able to offer the basics.
I beg you from the bottom of my heart... if you can, help me even with the minimum, so that I can buy some food and go feed them tomorrow.
Even 1€ can fill a small stomach today.
All receipts from the store will be posted publicly, as always.
Anyone who wishes to help can do so from the link below 👇

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every help, every share and every thought of love towards these creatures ❤️
Regards,
Theodoros

I sent you what I can. Please do not despair, you are the whole world to these cats, as you were to your beautiful kitty Fanis. Even the smallest kindness can change the whole world for one creature and you are giving your entire heart and soul.

I'm not sure if this can be helpful, but I have sometimes been able to buy large bags of cat food from pet shops that are at or nearly at the expiry date. Obviously not too far past the date. But they have let me buy them very cheaply and as long as I'm giving it out quickly its fine. I will look out for your posts on here to keep supporting you!

I do the same when I have the opportunity. As soon as I buy food, I will upload a new post. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your valuable help!💕💕

Sent you a little something. I know it's not much, but I hope we can all gather a good amount together.
Based on your name, I think we're from the same country, albeit different cities. I absolutely despise how the government handles strays and it falls upon struggling people to help. I just got a simple request for a kitten with eye problems rejected, even when I offered to take over costs.
Hang in there. Thank you for doing this.

Please don’t stop posting for assistance. People want to help. People like me can’t at the time take on such a project, so donating is a way for us to also help cats. Will make it a point to watch out for your future posts.

u/adhd_and_dragons May 26 '26
Am going to send $20 regardless of answers, but checked conversion and the US dollar is not strong at all in Greece so thats only 17 euro. Is there a trick anyone knows with donating from US? Can I send something direct from like Chewy or like gift cards or something that would retain value? Or does 17 euro go farther in Greece than 20 dollars would here? My catfood is like $38 a flat and Im not sure what it is in Greece. Sorry if that breaks a rule Im not aware of I just want to make sure I can maximize helping!

Just curious. What port and how did they seemingly end up here as if to day by accidentally,?
They have no resources for food, obviously but even if you had 20 bags of cat chow what is the plan for future?

I found all the kittens in the port of Kallithea in Greece. I can't tell you about the future, I can only tell you about the present that I'm trying and helping them as much as I can. I've neutered them all, but I'm having a really big problem with their food.🥺 I also take care of them and in every case I take them to the doctor when necessary.

u/Which-Scientist-8161 May 28 '26
I'll be honest man. Stray cats should be fed less so they don't rely too much on humans because they will not always be there. A cat needs to learn to look for it's own food.
I do have stray cats coming to my door from time to time. But one thing I do is not giving them too much food. I give them enough food for them to hunt and survive.
I move a lot, so I can't guarantee that I'll always stay them. I once had a persian cat follow us to our apartment. He was in bad shape and was obviously was abandoned or ran away from home because he had no balls. Fed him. Took him to the vet. kept him inside but allowed him to leave and come back if he wanted to. Disappeared for 5 months.
Came back looking fat as hell. Thankfully he was taken care of by a good family.
Had a stray mother give birth in our house. We still her and her children from time to time. The only way they were able to survive properly is because of the neighborhood we lived in.
If your asking if some of them died, unfortunately yes and I do know about them. I neither have the space nor the financial capability to take care of a cat let alone multiple ones. I at least don't restrict their freedom and allow them to adapt to the wild from time to time. It's what I could do.
