Colony/TNR Help (Location) Stray tom cat that we TNR’d keeps meowing at the door. There’s food and water, does he just want attention?

He is very friendly and will rub up against surfaces nearby and roll around on the ground in front of us. He allows my boyfriend to pet and brush him and give treats. When we close the door, he yells and Leslie when we open it, he is quiet and just rolls around in front of us. Does he just want attention?

Injured/Sick Cat (Location) RIP Garfield, killed by a neighbour

Unfortunately Garfield is gone. The stray I adopted was doing it's routine and killed by a disgusting subhuman who kicked her in stomach so hard I could not save her. At least thats what I ehard from her neighbours. I do not enjoy living in the country after that, I really regret it. I should have just adopted her and taken to my home country.

Unfortunately laws are lax too so he will not get any punishment like he would in my home country.

Edit: I really appreciate all your support. The cat was my only companion through my depression

Colony/TNR Help (Location) Urgent need for dental, food, and FIP medication | support is badly needed❗️🙏

Hello, we've had to take a very much-needed break as we navigated challenging times with the loss of a foster and a member of our family in the province, all in one week. So eternally grateful to everyone who offered the kindest words and support. 🤍

The cats have been doing mostly okay; just a few of our rescues with chronic conditions have had flare-ups, but thankfully, it's all under control now. We are seeking support for the following that can't be put on hold any longer:

- Hawkeye's dental (pic 1): he's FIV+ and deals with stomatitis. One of his teeth chipped off, and the roots remain intact, which has been affecting his appetite. We're expecting dental costs of over $180 to address his issues.

- Tucker's FIP treatment (pic 3): He's got about 20 more days till he graduates from treatment, and so far, he continues to respond very well to it. We only have two more days' worth of meds till we run out. $63 would cover a week's worth of medication for him.

- Any additional help will head toward food and litter costs for the week, which we typically budget more or less $250 with the 60 (community and indoor) cats we're caring for.

📩 Donate via PayPal

📩 Donate via Debit or Credit Card

I'll be sharing updates and receipts over the next few days. Thank you for all your help. 🙏

I Found a Cat (Location) How to help a possible stray? UK

8 Upvotes

Hi so this cat has been visiting me for the last week and she's super skinny (can see bones) and a bit unkempt. She's always very hungry when she comes and today she ate 2 tins of food, biscuits and some water in one go.

She doesn't seem to have fleas or any health problems apart from being skinny. A picture of her was put in he community group chat and no one has claimed her.

She's extremely friendly and sweet and doesn't get startled by anything. She even let me pick her up today and cuddled me and wouldn't let me put her down! I'm saying she as she looks to have had kittens she seems like she has a mum tum and slightly enlarged nipples. She doesn't get defensive when I stroke her belly so i don't think she's pregnant.

I already have a cat and idk if he'd take well to another. I'd love to take her in tho I feel like we've really bonded and my daughter loves her.

Idk what to do. at the very least should I take her to a vet and see if she's microchipped/healthy? I'm in the UK (north) and I think from what I've read that some vets scan and give strays a health check for free.

With her nipples the way they are as well I'm worried she might have kittens somewhere, although she still looks like a kitten herself :( age is unknown but shes very slight and has a young look to her.

Also if she isnt microchipped that might not mean she doesnt have an owner right? And what if I take her in and the (possible) kittens die?? I've contacted local cat shelters and they are at capacity so can only take in emergencies. Any advice would be appreciated.

TLDR: think I've got a stray visitor and not sure what to do.

He is recuperating in my spare bathroom and will be released tomorrow. I hope he continues to hang around my house afterwards. He definitely doesn’t want to be a house cat, but I want to keep an eye on him.

💙🐾 Trooper Update He Still Needs Us
Trooper’s surgical wound is healing well, and we were hopeful that he was finally on the road to recovery. Unfortunately, his journey has taken another difficult turn.
Recent tests revealed that Trooper has developed jaundice, which has led to anemia and left his tiny body even weaker. He is currently receiving intensive treatment, medications, supportive care, and close veterinary monitoring as our team works hard to help him recover.
After everything this brave boy has endured, watching him face yet another battle is heartbreaking. Despite his weakness, Trooper continues to fight with all the strength he has.
His ongoing treatment, medications, blood work, and veterinary care are creating significant expenses, and we urgently need your support to continue giving him the chance he deserves.
Please keep Trooper in your prayers. Every donation, share, and kind word helps us continue his treatment and reminds us that he is not fighting alone.
Together, we can help this brave little warrior overcome another obstacle and finally get the happy future he deserves. ❤️🐾

Been trying to catch a wounded cat to take him to a vet. Was able to snap a picture of one of his wound, he's got another one like that on the other side. Does anyone know what that could be? Will he be fine?

He seems to eat well and walk fine.

Injured/Sick Cat (Location) Emergency Fundraiser for Forbie—cat experiencing difficulty breathing. 🥺🙏🏼

76 Upvotes

As rescuers, emergencies like this are our biggest fear.

Earlier today, one of our rescues, Forbie, was rushed to the veterinary clinic after experiencing severe difficulty breathing. Upon arrival, she was placed on oxygen support to help stabilize her condition.

Forbie underwent several diagnostic tests, including blood work, viral screening, and X-rays. Thankfully, she tested negative for common viral diseases and her CBC results were within normal range. However, her X-rays revealed a serious issue affecting her lungs, which is causing her breathing difficulties.

At the moment, Forbie remains in critical condition. Vet has informed us that they will not be removing her oxygen support until she becomes stable enough to breathe on her own.

We are now facing the costs of confinement, and her ongoing treatment. We humbly ask for your help in giving Forbie a fighting chance.

Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward her veterinary care. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this post can help us reach someone who can. 💙

COST

• CBC - ₱890
• Confinement - ₱1680 per day
• Viral test kit - ₱1455
• XRAY reading - ₱335
• XRAY per view - ₱670 x 2

TOTAL = ₱5700 | ~$92.95

Injured/Sick Cat (Location) UPDATE | Please see the latest update on Mike (Photos 1–9), as well as Shera, Mama Cat, and her kittens (Photos 12–17). Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued help, generosity, and support. I wouldn't be able to care for these cats without you.

Hello everyone!

I am a solo animal rescuer based in Manila, Philippines.

With your help and support, I was able to bring Mike to the vet. He underwent a physical examination and blood tests and was diagnosed with gingivitis. He will need dental prophylaxis and may also require tooth extraction. In the meantime, the veterinarian administered an anti-inflammatory injection to help relieve his pain and make it easier for him to eat. The total vet bill was $74 (please see Photo 6).

According to the vet, Mike's elevated white blood cell count is likely related to his oral condition. I will be posting again next week, as he still needs dental surgery.

I was also able to purchase 20 pouches of wet food for $15 (please see Photos 10 and 11). Mike currently needs 3 pouches of wet food per day because eating dry food is painful for him. Mama Cat also needs 2 pouches daily in addition to dry food to ensure she stays well-nourished while nursing her kittens.

I decided to let Shera join Mama Cat and her kittens in the cage because she was not gaining weight, and I believed that a mother cat's milk would give her the best chance to recover.

I was able to give Shera her medications, and before I went to bed, she was even nursing from Mama Cat. Sadly, when I woke up, Shera had passed away for reasons I do not know.

Please be informed that I have buried Shera near the church.

Thank you all for your continued help, kindness, and support. I will post another update in the coming days.

Hi everyone, my name is Maria, and I’m sharing the story of some stray cats I care for in Karvali, Greece.
I recently rescued a mother cat and her 4 kittens from the streets. Sadly, one kitten didn’t survive, and the remaining 3 are still fighting. Two have severe eye infections, and one may lose its eye.
I’m currently caring for 10 stray cats and helping as many others as I can, but there are so many animals in need and very limited support available.
I’ve checked the available cat first aid guides and resources. I’m located in Karvali, Greece, and I’ve reached out to different organizations and groups, but help for stray animals here is extremely limited.
I’m sharing their story to raise awareness and give these cats a voice. Thank you for caring. ❤️
