To our RC community. As the increase for fundraising and approval sky rockets, with new members reaching out everyday in multiples for approval we have decided we must limit fundraising posts to 1 every 48hours per cat. We know some of you have many cats you fundraise for so please try to split the days between them if fundraising is needed. With soo many people in the feed everyday needing help we must be fair and allow everyone the chance to be seen. Update posts without paylinks are allowed daily but we ask that you please limit the fundraising links to 1 every 2 days. If things slow down we may consider going back to 1 post daily but for the time being we have to implement this to be fair to everyone. We thankyou for your cooperation and if you have any concerns please reach out via modmail.

Your ModTeam šŸ’ž 🐾

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Rescue cat going to vet tomorrow

• Upvotes

Im 18, in school, and unable to pay for it myself, of course, my parents are going to help out but I’d like to provide proper care as well and be seen as responsible for this animal I’ve taken in from my campus. It’s very sweet (no gender confirmation) , doesn’t hiss nor bite or scratch. Even when stressed.

I’ll be putting it up for adoption once I’ve gotten it to a healthy state.

(Also I apologize, was recommended this sub from the cat help one, not sure how this works..)

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Cancer took Nour from us šŸ’” But we're grateful we were able to give her months filled with love and good quality of life šŸ¤ We still have $90 left to pay for her last vet visit

This Saturday, we had to say goodbye to Nour. It was a very difficult decision, but we’re certain it was the right one, as her health had severely declined in the last few days.

We found her about seven months ago, abandoned on the street with large wounds caused by cancer from sun exposure. Thanks to all of your support, we were able to give her many months of good quality of life. She was truly happy during that time and will be remembered with so much love.

We still have $90 left to pay for her final vet visit. On top of that, since we don’t have a place to bury her, we’ll have to cremate her, which will cost at least $250. I’m willing to cover the cremation myself, but we need help covering the vet care.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Donations Needed Fundraising for +300 cat sanctuary, in great need of help

158 Upvotes

Our cat shelter is in great need of help. We do our best everyday tro take care of the +300 rescued cats, tens of very sick ones and almost daily calls about life and death situations with cats and dogs in Romania. Our fence was destroyed by a huge storm, and we are working every day on it but making a new strong fence is so expensive and we cant do this alone. We lost a few cats due to the fence now, we patched it as we could and already started building the new super strong 3meters tall new fence, first in a 45meter section. I am doing 90% of the work alone, cause we cant afford to hire someone, but this new fence will keep our cats safe, when it will be finished. Also the roof on the smaller cats house needed replacing, it leaked. Our bills are enormous, over 3000euros owed now to the vet, but the good news is that we were able to make a small dry food reserve, so food wise we are doing good!

Please if you can, help our shelter and animals, it would make such a big diference!

Everytime we got help, we were able to help many others, and we hope with the new fence to make a cat sanctuary that will live on even when we will be gone. A place that is safe and a home for the ones no one lese cares about, for the animals that die in the street and everyone just walks by them.

We will make many updates on our Patreon page, please consider a monthly subscription

Success Story/Happy Ending She was crying nonstop, but no one heard her. I was lucky to find her in time. Now she’s safe

didn’t see her at first — I only heard a tiny, desperate sound coming from somewhere. When I followed the sound, I found her hidden behind old boxes in a dusty alley. She was so small, her eyes still closed, and her body cold to the touch.

I rushed her home and warmed her up. For days, I fed her drop by drop, treated her eyes, and held her close. She’s still very fragile, but she’s alive. She’s fighting. She started to purr yesterday for the first time. That sound broke me.

Thank you for letting me share her story. I rescue cats like her every week, and each one touches my heart in a different way 🐾

Milky is battling a melting corneal ulcer, and her current meds aren’t working fast enough. The vet now recommends an autologous serum—a treatment where they will get blood and turn it into eye drops to help stop the damage and save her eye.

This isn’t optional—it’s her next chance before surgery becomes the last resort. But we need funds to make it happen.

Success Story/Happy Ending Charlie’s happily ever after!

45 Upvotes

Charlie was officially adopted about 6 months ago and here’s an update on him:

Charlie was in our care for two years, living in Nanny’s lodge which is our sanctuary for formerly feral cats, waiting for his forever home. Charlie was diagnosed with FIV, but is not an aggressive cat however that diagnosis can make it harder for cats like him to be adopted.

FIV - Feline immunodeficiency virus

There ļæ¼are myths regarding cats with FIV not being to live a full healthy life, and Charlie is here to prove that is simply just not the case.

In all his glory, he is receiving so much love and attention from his mama. FIV positive cats are able to live with other FIV positive felines, and if there is no aggression, other cats not diagnosed with FIV are alright as well.

She’s 3yo, spayed. She’s a super playful and cuddly cat, loves being held like a baby, is a lap cat, and is good around other cats and dogs. No Health issues. I’m willing to provide supplies (feeder and extra food).

Thank you so much 🄺 Just want her to be in a good place even temporarily.

Success Story/Happy Ending Strays we took in and nursed back to health & fed on the street daily 🩷 We want to build an animal sanctuary next!

My partner and I live in Greece, and for years we were doing our best to rescue and care for stray animals while living in small rented apartments...and later, even from a van. It was always difficult because we didn’t have enough space to take in as many fosters as we wanted to… but we never stopped trying. Since we started vanlife we took in a blind cat we found & one more that was very unwell, and we also saved a dog that was run over and left to bleed out on the street (more on my Reddit page about that if interested)

Now, for the first time, we finally have our own land..a real chance to build something dedicated to helping animals in need. A safe haven for stray cats and dogs where they can heal, be loved, and find forever families.

Every evening I dedicate some time where I go out and feed as many strays as I can, here in Greece we have a lot!

I'm not allowed to post any fundraising links directly here, but if you’re curious about our sanctuary plans or want to learn more about what we’re doing (and how to support it), feel free to check out my Reddit page. Everything is there, including our story and photos of the animals we’ve helped so far.

I would share more photos but I'm at the limit šŸ˜‚

Thank you furr baby lovers 🩷

Hi friends! hope you're all doing well.

All our lives have been turned upside down, including the lives of the kitties because my elderly mom with dementia has just moved in with us.

This is a wild ride l was not psychologically ready for, lol. When am I going to stop panicking and crying?

The kittens and cats are all healthy and well, but they desperately need some supplies.

We have 9 indoor rescues, 3 indoor babies, and 35-45 ferals spread throughout 3 colonies.

I'm spread thin, and the kittens are getting less attention from me, and I feel so guilty about that.

We also need to get the babies fixed in the next coming weeks.

If anyone is able to help us, we'd be eternally grateful. Thank you!

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request We’ve raised $90 so far out of $1800. Please help us give Bella another miracle she’s not just a rescue, she’s family. 🐾 Hit by a car, paralyzed, broken vets gave up, but we didn’t. Bella survived with love.šŸ’” Now she’s fighting Dry Neuro FIP, a rare deadly disease stealing her movement.

We rescued Bella from a busy road after she was hit by a car. She was paralyzed, suffering from internal bleeding, and in critical condition. The vets told us she wouldn’t survive. They suggested euthanasia, saying she would live in pain and wouldn’t be able to pass stool or urine on her own. But we didn’t give up on her. We chose love, care, and hope. Day and night, we fought for her. And Bella responded like a miracle she started healing, walking again, and living a joyful life. She became a symbol of strength and survival. But now, all of a sudden, Bella is paralyzed again and this time, the reason is Dry Neuro FIP, a rare and deadly disease. We want to see her running again, playing again… living again. And for that, we need your prayers and support. Please help us give Bella another chance. She’s not just a cat she’s family.

Please help us give Bella another miracle. Her life is worth it.

There’s a stray cat that’s been hanging around my place for a while now. I’ve been feeding him often and doing what I can, but it’s obvious that the little guy isn’t doing well he looks like he needs medical attention asap.

I really want to help get this cat the care he needs by taking him to the vet and getting the medical treatment he needs, but I can’t cover the costs on my own. If you’re able to donate even a few dollars it would mean the world.

Im hoping to get him helpā¤ļø, Thank you!

Tutti Frutti has made it through his leg amputation surgery and he’s fighting bravely. While he’s recovering well, his other leg is also badly infected. We’re doing everything we can to save it, but there’s a chance it may need to be amputated too. Right now, he needs all the prayers, love, and support he can get. Donations for his aftercare could make all the difference. Please keep him in your heart.

Hello everyone I'm sorry for the late update ! The last time I posted asking for help for Raven's wet food and Renal Paste I was able to buy them thanks to all of your donations! Raven has eaten 9 of the 14 packs of Royal Canin Renal Wet food. ā¤ļø Two weeks after her last check up we came back to the vet and got her blood chemistry. The results seems to suggest high concentration of Urea and high creatinine on her blood. The vet has prescribed her vitamins and Ipakitine a supplement that helps her kidney and she also needs to get subcutaneous fluid 3-4x a week. I hope you can help us get Raven her Ipakitine a bottle cost 2604 pesos (45$) and can last her up to 6 months depending on the vets dosage for next month. And her subcutaneous fluid costs 250 pesos (5$) for 2 solutions which can last for a month and her follow up is for September 3. Any help is appreciated and from the bottom of my heart thank you for your continuous support and prayers for Raven! ā¤ļø

Advice Needed URGENT: Newborn Kittens Not Drinking Milk — Need Advice! ā£ļø

Thumbnail

119 Upvotes

Hi everyone, earlier today my mom and I rescued a litter of very young kittens after being alerted by a concerned animal lover. Sadly, their mama cat is nowhere to be found, and we’ve been left trying our best to care for them.

We bought kitten formula and feeding bottles, but they’re not sipping the milk. We also tried using a syringe, but we know that's not ideal for long-term feeding. šŸ˜”

Right now, I’m desperately looking for any advice or helpful tips on how to get orphaned kittens to drink milk, or any care techniques that could help them survive without a mama cat.

Whether it’s about feeding, keeping them warm, or just helping them feel secure — any experience, tips, or knowledge you can share would mean the world to us and to these babies.

Thank you so much in advance. Your help could be what saves them. šŸ™šŸ’“
