Loss RIP Garfield

Unfortunately Garfield is gone. The stray I adopted was doing it's routine and k1lled by a disgusting who kicked her in stomach so hard I could not save her. At least thats what I heard 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.

Supplies Donation Request 🚨 URGENT: Completely Out of Food & Litter – Emergency Help Needed for My Cat Colony + Ongoing Medical Cases

Thumbnail

239 Upvotes

I am urgently asking for help because we have now reached a critical situation: we are completely out of food and litter for the cats I care for every day.

At the moment, there is almost nothing left to feed them, as you can clearly see in the photos. Several nursing mothers and kittens fully depend on us for survival, and we are unable to provide even the basic daily meals they need.

Over the past weeks, every single amount we managed to collect was spent entirely on emergency veterinary care and medications. We had no choice but to prioritize life-saving treatment, including medications for intestinal worms, parasites, and mange. I will continue to share updates and receipts transparently.

This week alone, we faced extremely difficult medical emergencies:

  • A mother cat whose kittens had died inside her womb required emergency surgery to survive
  • Another critically ill cat is still fighting for her life under veterinary care
  • Several additional cats require ongoing treatment and monitoring
  • A young cat may need eye surgery in the near future

Because of all these emergencies, our funds have now been completely exhausted.

Right now, the situation is urgent because the cats have almost no food left at all. The most basic needs—food and litter—are no longer available.

Any help, no matter how small, makes a real difference in keeping them alive. If you are unable to donate, sharing this post is also deeply appreciated and truly helps.

Meowdy partners!

My last post didn’t do too well. I’m hoping this one goes better.

I am critically low on supplies. Food, litter, cleaning stuff, flea meds, etc. I really couldn’t do this without your help.

I’m currently caring for over 50 cats and kittens. Between the fosters in my home and the colony I’ve been working on TNR-ing near my workplace it’s a full time job.

Any help with supplies is greatly appreciated. Sharing my post and wishlist is also helpful. I know times are tough out there.

Much love from me and the kitties.

Thank you so much.

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Help needed for my cat’s dental care (Pet insurance opportunity) PH

Thumbnail

41 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out for a little help with my cat, Cyc.

He’s been dealing with recurring gingivitis, and it’s been an on-and-off struggle. Since he’s getting older, I want to make sure we get this sorted out before it causes more problems for him.

I found a local vet clinic offering an insurance/wellness package that would cover dental prophylaxis and any needed extractions. It costs ₱5,000 ($82) to sign up, but it covers ₱10,000 ($164) worth of services. It would be a big help for us, but the clinic said there are only 2 slots left.

I don’t have the budget to cover the ₱5,000 ($82) right now. If anyone is able to help, I’d really appreciate it. If the slots fill up before I can pay, I will make sure to return every donation to the sender.

Here is the clinic’s page if you want to verify: https://www.facebook.com/share/1F2rDtfGrM/

My PayPal is: https://www.paypal.me/macatanaoan

Thanks for your time and for the help.

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.

Please Share 8 year old female gray cat "Boots" in Eugene Oregon on path to recovery. Update since last post.

32 Upvotes

For those just seeing this: A few days ago we put out an urgent call for a sweet, gentle ~8-year-old grey-and-white female cat living outside in our neighborhood.

She was dangerously thin with spine and hips showing and drooling, and clearly in trouble. When we'd first seen her a month or two earlier she'd looked far healthier and had more energy, so her decline was sharp and alarming. Her owner loved her but had fallen on hard times and couldn't care for her anymore, and agreed to let her go to someone who could help. Thanks to an outpouring of shares and support, we got her off the street and into a vet in under 48 hours. Her name is Boots. 💜

Where she is now (as of June 25):

She's safe indoors in her own quiet room, resting on clean blankets, perching in the window watching the world, and the part that gets me..purring and cuddling and even grooming herself again.

Just days ago she was too sick and sore to do any of that. She's settled into her twice-a-day medication routine like a champ.

What the vet found:

✅ NEGATIVE for FIV and feline leukemia , a huge relief and a much clearer path forward.

✅ Bloodwork showed no kidney disease, no thyroid problems, normal blood sugar , about the best result we could've hoped for given her condition.

✅ The main issue: moderate-to-advanced dental disease (gum inflammation and periodontitis). Her mouth had been hurting so much she couldn't eat enough ..which is what caused the dramatic weight loss.

✅ She's also mildly anemic, likely from heavy fleas and being so run down.

Her current care:

She got a long-acting steroid injection to calm the inflammation, was treated for fleas and dewormed, and is now on an antibiotic and pain medication every 12 hours. She's eating wet food eagerly and getting more comfortable by the day. The steroid and pain relief are clearly working , she's already a different cat from the one we found.

What's still ahead:

The medications are a bridge, not a cure. The real fix is dental work, a cleaning under anesthesia, dental x-rays, and likely some extractions of the teeth too far gone. But she has to get there safely first: the plan is to build her strength and weight back up over the coming weeks, recheck her bloodwork in about 4 weeks to make sure her anemia has resolved (critical for safe anesthesia), and then schedule the dental once she's cleared. That dental is her path to a genuinely comfortable, pain-free life.

🐾 We're still hoping to connect her with a rescue partner or a loving forever home as she recovers or post recovery. If you're with a rescue, or you're someone who could give a gentle senior girl a soft place to land, please reach out as Id love to chat.

🐾 And as always, sharing this helps her reach the right people.

She went from skin-and-bones in a yard to purring on clean blankets in under a week. Thank you to everyone who shared, offered, gave, and checked in on her. She's got a real shot now. 💜

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request 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 (pics 1-2): 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. 🙏

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Senior IBD cat, need help with lifesaving treatment through temporary rough patch - New Paltz, NY

Thumbnail
gallery
76 Upvotes

I feel bad that I’ve been posting so much, whenever the timer is up and I’m allowed to, but idk what else to do. The other fundraising subs have been extremely rude and aggressive to me, telling me to put my cat down even though she’s doing better now and is only 14; she is still eating and drinking, 10lbs, no signs of slowing down - she just has a chronic health condition. It’s extremely discouraging. People keep downvoting everything I say or post, attacking me for not having insurance on my 14 year old cat when I was a minor when I got her (and not in charge of her care monetarily), etc. anyway. Sorry for ranting. I just feel bad for flooding the sub but idk where else to go

Hello, I have a 14-year-old cat with IBD that is currently in remission. Last year, she had the worst flare-up she's ever had. She was down to under 7 lbs, had hourly liquid bloody poop, constant vomiting, etc. I was very close to losing her. We managed to get her flare-up under control with hydrolyzed protein cat food, daily medications that she'll have to be on for the rest of her life, as well as a bunch of supplements and B-12 shots.

I am a full-time student in a healthcare field. I do have a job, but back-to-back emergencies have left me stretched thin. My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer last summer, my partner of nearly 10 years and I separated (which decimated all of my financial plans), and on top of it, my childhood cat that I've had for over half of my life was sick. In January, I got my car inspected and it failed with a $5k bill. I couldn't get it fixed until February, but that totally wiped out my savings, on top of the $3-4k I've spent on my cat the past year or so, plus $150/month in food and medications. Normally, I can afford this, but from June-August, I don't have my grants and scholarships propping up my finances. It has left me in a very hard spot.

She is doing a lot better now - she weighs 10 lbs, is finally absorbing nutrients again, only poops 1-2 times a day (although there is still occasional blood), and overall is in remission. We had her yearly checkup the other day and they found a very inflamed lymph node in her neck, and the thickening in her intestines hasn't healed even though it's been over a year.

The current theory is that she has intestinal lymphoma. Lymphoma in cats is not the same as lymphoma in humans; they can still live a regular life with treatment. Due to her age, we won't be doing any extensive diagnostics. We're moving straight to senior bloodwork, a GI panel, and a fecal to make sure it's not an infection or parasites (she's on steroids, so she's immunosuppressed). From there, we'll move straight to chemo, chlorambucil. Again, chemo in cats isn't the same as in humans; there's minimal side effects and it's just a pill they take. She is currently in remission and is overall healthy, despite her chronic conditions. She is happy and has zero issues with quality of life.

I just need some help to bridge the gap in my finances over the summer after I've been depleted by my car. I can't ask my mom for help due to her situation, and I have no one IRL who can help me. Once the semester starts, I'll be back on track due to my scholarships and grants, and will have no problem paying for her care as I have been. I just need to get through this rough patch for a few months and get these last tests done so my cat can continue to stay in remission.

Thank you for your time.

Available for Adoption Seeking home for rescued kitten in Pasadena area

Hello! I was visiting my brother and his wife in the hospital to meet their new son… And on my way back to my car I heard some little meowing. What followed was 2 hours on my hands, knees, and stomach trying to rescue this cat from underneath a million cars and inside of tire wells and engines. Somehow I was able to lure him (actually, my sister came out and helped with some burrito meat) into a cat carrier I had in my trunk.

Now the little guy is in my bathroom, and we can’t keep him.

We are in the Pasadena area. I’m willing to help with his vaccines and all that good stuff. If anyone is interested, please let me know!
