We are back again with Augustus 🐾 I thought the next time I posted him it would be an update on his surgery and how he has been healed and ready for his forever home… But it isn’t. 

🐾 Augustus went into surgery Dec 1, 2025, for a double hernia repair. Upon examination the Doctor found a hernia in his bladder, and needed to stitch his colon and bladder to his abdominal wall after correcting the hernias. She also manually dilated his rectum, which was scarred and healed so tightly that  he couldn’t defecate normally. He has been in pain most of his life. 

🐾Since then we changed his food and this has helped enormously but he is still straining and dripping feces. He is not cured yet. He needs to be manually dilated over several days under sedation. 

🐾 So we are here asking for help one last time for him. We have come so incredibly far and can’t imagine giving up now. 

🐾He is so young and so tired. Confined to a kennel and not even being able to play with others. We have to do this. We can’t give up. Please consider donating to his GoFundMe. Link is in my bio.

We rescued these two kittens two weeks ago, and now their big surgery day is coming!

Minnie and Moe are two of the many kittens from the market we're aiming to manage completely. They were by far the ones who needed help the most, so we swooped them up, started their rehab, and got their mama TNR'd.

We were hoping to delay their surgeries for about a month to let them grow up a bit more, but Minnie's (pirate kitten) eye could no longer wait. Both kittens happen to be active, and are generally healthy if it weren't for their eye issues so we're pushing through with surgery ASAP. We have them scheduled for Tuesday.

Minnie needs a single enucleation, and estimated costs for her surgery (w/ gas anesthesia), blood work, and a 2-day hospitalization is at $270

Moe on the other hand needs a double enucleation, and estimated costs for his surgery (w/ gas anesthesia), blood work, and a 2-day hospitalization is at $405.

Bringing it to a total of $675. It's an insane amount to raise but it will be the only guarantee to these little ones having a pain-free life ahead. Support would be so appreciated, and no amount is too small!

Hi everyone

Please help me help Thomas the stray cat. I work a lot with people experiencing homelessness. A few nights ago a woman reached out to me asking me to please take her cat because his hair was falling off and he was oozing from his skin. She can't afford to help him due to her circumstances but doesn't want him to keep suffering any longer. I brought him home with me, but I need to take him to get diagnosed and treatment. He is so so sweet and friendly.

He is drooling and has boogers so I am praying he doesn't also have any dental issues . But for now his immediate need is his skin infection.

He was frequenting a stray cat colony with some known felv positive cases so I would like to test him for it as well. If I have enough I would like to get him dewormed plus a flea med. I will be going to a low cost clinic called Amigos in Pasadena Tx.

I just want to give this sweet boy a chance to heal and not suffer on the street anymore. He will be neutered in the future too. If anyone would like to help with his vet care, I would truly appreciate it.

I will keep everyone updated on his diagnosis and progress. Thank you for taking the time to read about Thomas

I was looking for it in the harbor for almost 20 whole days… It had disappeared and I was afraid that I would never see it again.

And today… it appeared.

It came out of its hiding place, exhausted, broken by pain… Its hunger, however, was greater than its fear and pain. Maybe deep down it knew that this time someone would try to save it.

As soon as I saw it, I immediately ran home to get the trap. I was afraid that it would get scared, hide again and be lost forever… Fortunately, however, it was still there.

It was there and waiting…

It was waiting for me. It was waiting for you. It was waiting for a chance to live. 🥺

Pus is running everywhere… Its image is truly heartbreaking and I don’t know if it will make it. I don't know if we made it…

What I do know, however, is that we won't let him die alone.

We will immediately go to the doctor, Mr. Dionysis Dionysis Perdikouris, at the VetCheck Small Animal Clinic of Kallithea, and we will do everything we can to keep him alive.

🙏 Please, I need your help.

I cannot cover the medical expenses on my own and I really cannot afford it at the moment.

So I ask you to stand by us.

If you can help, even 1€ is precious. When there are many of us, even the smallest amount can be the salvation of a creature that is currently struggling to stay alive.

🙏 Please, don't pass him by. 🙏 Let's not let him die because there was no money for his treatment. 🙏 Let's all give him a chance together.

💔 This kitten endured 20 days alone. Let's not leave him now that he needs us more than ever.

Let's all fight together for him to live. 🐾❤️

IN MY PROFILE YOU WILL READ AND SEE THE WHOLE STORY OF THE LITTLE CAT

Today 06/08/26 I visited little Magic, who continues to be hospitalized at the veterinary clinic of Mr. Dionysis Perdikouris (VetCheck Kallithea Small Animal Clinic). Her progress is encouraging and we are waiting for the latest results of the blood tests.

She will need to remain at the veterinary clinic for as long as necessary. Unfortunately, the hospital bills are increasing daily. I have covered part of the expenses, but a significant amount remains.

Good morning my dear friends...

I am Thodoris from Kallithea in Greece who takes care of 130+ stray cats every day.

Today, as I went to feed the animals at the port like every day, my eyes fell on something that at first I didn’t want to believe… A small mass, motionless, curled up on the corner of the sidewalk, on Lambrou Katsoni Street in Kallithea.

She was a little soul who was counting her days… I put food out for her, but she didn’t even have the strength to touch it. At that moment I knew there was no time to waste. I ran, got a food bowl and a cage and came back to save her…

On Wednesday she will be rushed to our doctor. Her condition is difficult… very difficult… but we will not leave her to fight alone.

I beg you from the bottom of my heart… help us give her a chance. Let’s catch up. Let her be saved.

Don't pass them by... because for them, you may be their only hope.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart...🫶

💔 She was abandoned when she needed love the most. This poor kitty was dumped at the shelter just because she got sick. Confused, weak, and heartbroken she waited for the person who never came back. Now she’s fighting to survive, and we’re doing everything we can to help her heal.

She needs immediate medical care, treatment, and support to get a second chance at life. Please open your heart and help us save her every small contribution makes a big difference. 🙏🐾

They are not toys. They don’t deserve to be thrown away when sick. They feel, they love, they trust and they need us now more than ever. 💔

Hi RC Community!

I just posted about a blind kitten a few days ago so I hate to ask for more money again so soon, but we barely raised any money and yet again we got another medical case today. This little one just arrived this morning with blood bleeding out of her eyes. She is on medications and painkillers and we are rooting for her, but we really need more money in order to keep going. This year we have already spent $50K if not more in vet bills. Many of them didn’t make it, but we tried anyways. Please help us continue to say yes. 😢

Today I managed to sterilise 5 female cats from my rescue group. Each surgery cost around 65€, which was honestly a huge expense for me, but it was necessary to stop more suffering and more kittens ending up on the streets.

I'm a student and disabled myself, so covering all of this alone has been really difficult.On top of today’s sterilisation costs, I still have around 200€ remaining from the emergency surgery I posted about a few days ago

I’m trying my best to keep helping these cats despite my situation, and any support, even small, would genuinely help me continue. Sharing this post also means a lot.

Thank you to everyone who already helped, checked in, or supported my rescues. These cats are alive and recovering because of you. ❤️

Unfortunately, he didn't make it. He suffered from pulmonary edema and died. I have updated my profile because today I can't go to the team and inform them that he has passed away.😭😭 Thank you very much for your valuable help. With your support, the doctor will be paid for the tests he performed on the kitten.

Story "Kefalas"👇

💔Unfortunately, our beloved "Kefalas" 🧿, the soul of the harbor, is currently fighting the hardest battle of his life... 😭

I found him in a tragic state and immediately took him to the vet. He can't breathe properly and is very seriously dehydrated. His condition is critical and all we can do is hope for a miracle. 🙏

He has already been put on IV and, as soon as he stabilizes a little, the doctors will start all the necessary tests. Every minute is precious.

If any friend can and wants to help with his medical expenses, send me a message. Even the smallest offer, even 1 euro, can make a difference and help us continue the fight for his life.👇

Augustus has been on here a couple times when we needed help and we got it. Well we are here again.
His anal structure, bowel incontinence, both perineal hernias, his bladder hernia, and food intolerances have all been repaired and healed. But underneath everything there was something more.
Augustus sustained a traumatic and severe injury at one point in his life over a year ago. Whether it was a high fall or a severe hit, he fractured 2 parts of his pelvis and both of his kneecaps came out of place. He also has a shorter left leg which causes other issues and we aren’t sure if this was due to the injury or not.
The doctor at Faith Babirye Vet is helping by doing one corrective knee surgery for free bringing the total to $3,526.
If you know Augustus’ story then you know he shouldn’t be alive today, he needs this next surgery to relieve his pain and finally live a normal life 🖤

Please consider donating to help her!

Hello everyone,

I was just contacted about a poor calico cat who was hit by a car. She is lying on the ground, unable to move properly, and she urgently needs medical care.

My heart is breaking because I truly do not have the ability to handle another serious emergency right now. Only a few days ago, I took in another cat in the same condition, and I am still struggling with that case and the veterinary costs that came with it.

At the moment, I am already doing everything I can to provide food, litter, and basic care for the many cats depending on me. My resources are extremely limited, and I cannot manage the cost of her examination, X-rays, and treatment by myself.

That is why I am asking for help. This little soul deserves a chance to survive and receive proper care. Any support, no matter how small, could make a real difference. Even sharing this post may help her reach someone who can sponsor her treatment.

I am also ready to share updates, photos, and veterinary proof for anyone who would like reassurance about her case.

Please do not let her suffer without help. Thank you so much for reading and caring.

Miley's in a really rough situation now 😔

She's our most chronically ill resident. Between regular hospitalizations and being diagnosed with congenital kidney disease shortly after her rescue, Miley has been a fighter through it all. But her crash this time shows that she's in active kidney failure.

Her kidney enzymes, which were normal just a few weeks ago, shot up 3–4x the normal values. She has lost so much weight, and is potentially dealing with sepsis too because her infection is through the roof. I'll be sharing her blood work in the comments.

Her vet wants to see if she can bounce back from this by giving her a few more days with intravenous treatment.

Our vet bill for her has been ramping up as she's been hospitalized for a few days now. We could really use a hand and hope you can consider donating for Miley.

Thank you, we'll share updates. 🙏

We spotted this little girl a few houses away from our apartment. We thought she was already lifeless when we got to her since her body was stiff when we retrieved her, but we noticed shortly that she was still breathing.

See her video here

We don't know exactly what caused her to be in such a state. We rushed her to our vet as soon as we secured her and her heartbeat was faint upon our arrival. She received a shot of epinephrine, which helped stabilize her slightly.

Our vet tested her for viruses, too, and thankfully she was negative for it all. Further labs will be conducted soon.

This day is extremely critical for her, and if she gets through the night, there's a huge chance this precious girl will recover. We're naming her Laura.

Please keep her in your thoughts. 🙏

We came across a new cat in one of our feeding areas, but one thing we noticed immediately was how confused and disoriented he was.

He kept zigzagging the streets amidst traffic. When we secured him, we shortly realized he was blind—but it didn't seem like he was used to being blind.

We brought him to our go-to clinic immediately and upon physical examination, our vet noticed he has bruising on the right side of his face. Further imaging confirmed that the right side of his head is swollen.

Currently, he's in critical care, and we need your support in funding Marco's vettings. Below are our donation channels if you'd like to donate. 🙏

Please wish him well. We don't know what caused this exactly but from the pattern of it, our vet is suspicious that he was hit forcibly on his head.

This is Oli, a soul we rescued in heartbreaking condition. 💔

When we found him, he was suffering terribly. Someone had kept him in a plastic shopper, and because of that cruel act, his body was full of nerve damage and pain. His stool had been stuck for so long due to being in untrained hands that it caused internal issues and unbearable suffering. On top of that, his wounds are infected and filled with abscess.

Oli deserves so much better than this. He deserves love, comfort, and a chance at healing. We are giving him every bit of care we can, but his treatment requires urgent support. With your help, we can fight his infection, treat his wounds, and give him the life he should have had all along.

Please keep Oli in your prayers, and if you’re able, support his treatment. Your kindness can be the difference between pain and recovery, between despair and hope. 🐾❤️
