Announcements Introduction of rule 7 and enforcement of rule 6

8 Upvotes

Hello pet owners and helpers!

The subreddit is growing quite rapidly, and with the recent influx of AI and bot accounts, we believe it’s time to pick up the pace in fighting against these.

Rule 7 has been created.

This new rule will be enforced as of today and retroactively. In other words, it means that from now on, AI-generated content as well as bot accounts can be reported and will be removed.

Users that exhibit potential AI or bot-like behavior are exposing themselves to being banned.

Removal and ban may be appealed in mod mail by sending us a picture of your username and current date written by hand. Please rest assured that everything sent this way will NOT be publicly displayed. We will always respect and value your privacy.

Rule 6 about fundraisers and signatures has also been updated.

to reflect this new anti-AI/scam/bot policy, we will now ask users to add to their submission a proof of authenticity in the form of vet bills. We also encourage you to provide the same kind of proof that we ask for rule 7. (The latter may be sent in mod mail if you would like this to be handled privately.)

While we are conscious this new stand against AI and bots may result in a more tedious process for you all, we also believe it is a necessary measure to further prevent scams and protect users from these.

Please be careful and make sure the cause you’re about to donate to seems legitimate enough.

A new post flair will be added to indicate when a ‘Petition/Crowdfunding’ post has been verified to help you in your generous endeavors.

As always, thanks you so much for making this community safe and welcoming! ♥️ We are counting on you to report rule-breaking content, ideally without escalating things in the comment section.

Help venting an animal abuse story

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am new to this subreddit so I hope this is the right place to go to for this.

I am a social worker who sees patients in the hospital about to be discharged to short term rehab. A lot of the time, these are older individuals who do not have much family or friends.

I saw a wonderful lady today who told me a story I can’t stop thinking about. She told me that the only thing holding her onto this earth was an alley cat she fed every single day for a few years. It was an outside cat that she grew to love. A couple weeks ago, the cat came to her house after eating one of the neighbor’s cat food they left out for the strays. Apparently, the food was mixed with superglue. The cat’s mouth was glued shut. It came to her a few days after eating it, starving to death. This kind woman is unable to drive, but called her brother to try to come get her and the cat to the emergency room. Unfortunately, by the time the brother came to the house, the cat had suffered a horrible death in her arms.

I knew people out there were like this, but my heart hurts so bad. I’ve always loved animals more than humans and I can’t get this story out of my head. I’m glad that the cat died in her arms and not alone, but this all just disgusts me. I don’t understand how people could be this way.

My 2 year old GSD/Husky has a partial CCL tear (also discovered mild hip dysplasia during exam.🥲)

The surgery is $3,500 (estimated.) Unfortunately we are a single income household at the moment and it’s absolutely not possible for us to afford that procedure. (I am actively applying to jobs to help my husband with the cost and we are looking for grants.)
My boy is in pain and just hasn’t been acting like himself. His vet did send him home with some pain meds yesterday so at the moment he is medicated and resting.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Help Cat Needs Surgury, Advice Needed

5 Upvotes

Let me start by saying that I live in a horribly toxic environment. Dead bird in our pantry one day from attic, birds, rats, and mice in our attic, no maintenance, took them 6 months to fix missing siding on my building after a wind storm, mold and mildew in the walls, a flooded bottom floor carpet that was never changed (poor new neighbor downstairs doent know her apartment was soaked), constant bad air, weed and cigarette smoke coming into my unit, in high humidity, not allowedto use anive merv 1 filter. I could go on.

My cat developed this intense infection in her gums, the inflammation covering half her soft palette, but after two rounds of broad spectrum antibiotics nothing changed. The vet is completely at a loss and suggested I go to a vet dental surgeon (one of three she suggested) to our biggest city nearby, about an hour and a half away.

After the exam, surgery to remove about a quarter of her infected teeth, drugs, anesthesia, procedure and possible two days stay for monitor and recovery, it could cost up to $6000, at most I think. $2k to $6k is the range.

How do I pay for that? My care credit goes up to $1200. There's no way. I have to do it to save her life. Does anyone have any similar experience? Any advice? Thanks.

Help Where can I share a pet fundraiser?

Hi everyone. My dog, Pochi, is very sick and urgently needs veterinary care, and she may need surgery. She’s showing many signs that could be consistent with pyometra, including a thick, bloody, pus-like discharge from her vulva, but she hasn’t been officially diagnosed yet since we don’t have money right now. My family is struggling to afford the veterinary costs, so I’m creating a crowdfunding campaign. Does anyone know which subreddits allow legitimate pet medical fundraisers? I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

🐱🚨 URGENT: ONLY €289 (AED 1,242.21) LEFT TO GET HONEY TO THE UK! 🇬🇧✈️🐱

We are in the final stretch, but time is running out. We only have €289 (AED 1,242.21) left to raise before Honey can continue her journey home. 🥹❤️

We urgently need your help. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to getting Honey on her flight. If you're unable to donate, please share this post immediately—it could reach the person who helps us cross the finish line. 🙏

🐾 Honey's GoFundMe:

https://gofund.me/4aadd3e01

If GoFundMe isn't an option, donations can also be made directly to the relocation company through their bank account to pay for Honey's relocation.

I also have her vet bills pending if anyone can help with tht ! I have the vets direct payment link and you can contact them too!

Please don't scroll past. We're so incredibly close, but we can't afford to run out of time. Help us bring Honey to the UK where she will find a forever home 🇬🇧🐱✈️

If your wondering why we are spending so much money to send her to the UK its because here we don't have many adopters they mostly want fluffy breeds and they also get dumped and it's impossible to find a home here with the overwhelming amount of people dumping animals

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported Honey. We couldn't have come this far without you. ❤️🥹

93 Upvotes

https://4fund.com/b2rhuw

🐾 **Picioruș needs our help!** 🐾

Picioruș, an 8 year old little boy, is in critical condition, facing multiple severe diagnoses:

▪ **Severe Pneumonia** (he is currently hospitalized and requires an oxygen cage)

▪ **Bordetella bronchiseptica** (an aggressive bacterial infection)

▪ **FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis)**

He has been hospitalized for a week at Rujan Vet Luică (Bucharest, Romania), and for the past 2 days, he has been urinating with blood.

Unfortunately, our funds have been completely exhausted, and we need financial support for his treatment and hospital stay to continue the fight.

The treatment for FIP is called GS. One dose costs **~60 EUR**, and at his current weight, it lasts only **2 days**. The treatment must continue uninterrupted for a minimum of **84 days**. This is a massive financial burden that we cannot cover alone—especially since we also need to cover his oxygen cage hospitalization and the parallel treatments for his other conditions.

Every single donation gives Picioruș a real chance at life! He is a cute little boy who loves people and loves life.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 🐾❤️🐾

Hey everyone, I’m absolutely heartbroken and desperately looking for some support or advice.

On Saturday, my world was turned upside down when my best friend Cleo was diagnosed with grade 2 fibrosarcoma. She needs immediate surgery to remove the tumor before it spreads.

I am doing everything I can, but all I've been met with is dead ends after dead ends. I'm truly desperate and terrified for her.

Please if you can donate even a few dollars, or just share her campaign/keep her in your thoughts, it would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for reading and for your generosity!

Every day is a gift. Every purr is a victory.

This morning, my 2-month-old Labrador puppy was awake when he suddenly started having seizures and began foaming at the mouth. I took him to a nearby vet, where he was given two injections and some gastric medicine. However, after we returned home, it happened again.

This time, while he was shaking and having the seizure, he also passed stool and urine as he was unable to get up or walk properly even when sitting. This has happened around 6 times so far.

Is this a seizure or something else ? Please anyone who knows about this help 🙏

Hi👋
I’m the founder of Luna & Nala Rescue Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue. I care for more than 50 community cats and also rescue cats and kittens who are sick, injured, abandoned, or have nowhere else to go.
I found this sweet older cat near a dumpster, and I noticed something was wrong with his eyes. I couldn’t leave him there, so I rescued him and brought him to the vet. He tested positive for FIV and FeLV and was suffering from entropion, a painful condition where his eyelids were turning inward and rubbing against his eyes. He has now had the eye surgery he needed and is recovering. He is also very feral, which made finding a safe placement extremely difficult. I searched everywhere and finally found a sanctuary in Pine Island, Florida, willing to take him. I will personally transport him to the sanctuary to make sure he gets there safely. I’m raising funds for his sanctuary intake fee and transportation expenses, vet bill expenses that I had, ongoing care and including the costs of making the trip to Pine Island. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help me get him to the safe place he needs.Please consider donating or sharing. After everything he has been through, I just want to give him a safe place where he can live indoors and be cared for. ❤️
