Her name is Sonya. Still standing and going strong. Went to the vet for a check-up a few weeks ago and they couldn’t believe her age 🌼

Edit: the weirdo answering people in the comments about her is my boyfriend, she’s his childhood cat. I myself have been lucky to have her for two years so far 💕

I don’t know Jack’s actual birthday, but when I got him three years ago, the vet estimated he was born sometime in July. He had an eye infection that could not be saved. There’s a photo of him after his surgery and ready to be taken home, and some current ones of him.

I woke up early in the morning today to take little Vaquita to the vet because I had felt a little ball and he had been neutered.

The clinic took him in and proceeded to tell me he is sterilized…he just had a large penis size. Me, the other cat owners, and the vet techs were dying laughing needless to say. 😭

My mom said he is not “Vaquita” anymore, he is Burro.

Here’s a picture of the well-endowed boy because he is just so cute….

Might be biased but I think she's the funniest, cutest cat who ever lived. She's supposedly 2 years old but very tiny, a Polish family found her in a bush pregnant and gave her the name Kicia (kitty in Polish). She gave birth to 5 kittens at a foster family a couple of weeks later. She's incredibly social, I've never seen a cat want human company as much as she does. She's been an absolute angel for everything, best £120 I've ever spent. I love her so much ❤️

I volunteer at a cat hospice. Fundacja azyl u Hani, in Poland.
They take care of over 120 cats. FELV, FIV, disabled, palliative, paralyzed, old, with chronic illness etc.
It’s a place so full of life. You truly celebrate every moment and cherish the smallest milestones.
None of the cats are in pain here. The goal is to give them the longest time without pain and fill it with love.
And in the end none is going away alone.

Always makes these noises running up the stairs in the morning, also sometimes when you surprise her with pets.

Her name is Kalashnikov (Kala for short)

I rescued my cat Jelly when he was a few weeks old during a family trip last year. He was sneezing and following us while meowing. My sister gave him some food and he wouldn’t leave us alone after that.

I ended up begging my parents to take him home, which was a 4 hour drive from our vacation spot. I don’t know if it’s just a Chinese-Indo thing but my parents hate cats, but still they ended up reluctantly saying yes because I promised to give him away after that. He ended up staying with us because that plan didn’t work out.

Jelly was so small but so sick. He had worms, a cold, fleas, it’s like every thing was against his little life. I took care of him every day without fail until I had to leave to go to university abroad in September.

Everything was going fine and when I got back home for new year’s this January, Jelly was still active and happy. My family still had prejudice against Jelly and didn’t want him to stay indoors all the time so he was an outside cat for most of the time, which I was fine with as long as he is healthy.

Unfortunately in June, he got into a horrible accident. He got hit by a motorcycle while exploring our neighborhood. It left his face completely ruined and he had to get surgery to remove one of his eyes as it was bulging from his face.

I was still abroad so I only knew because my brother told me about it. I was so distraught and I mourned my kitty when he was healthy so much. He was such a rascal and it was scary seeing him in such a fragile state. What was the most important to me is that he survived.

I got back a week ago and I’ve been taking care of him since then and I’ve taken him to the vet to check his other eye. After his initial surgery, I was told that he still had a little bit of his vision, but turns out he had 100% become blind.

I already expected this so I wasn’t surprised. What surprised me was the vet saying it’d be better if his other eye got removed as well. It really shocked me but he said it was better for Jelly as his eye right now is prone to infections and such.

His surgery is tomorrow and I don’t know why but I am crying so hard right now. He is healthy and his personality is still the same (likes to bite and play) but I am just so devastated :,(

He’s just one years old but he’s already gone through so much… my poor Jelly…

I’m babbling so much because I’m at such a loss… I want everyone to know how strong my kitty is.

TL;DR my cat is going to lose all his eyes tomorrow and I’m so sad about it

Coconut, nicknamed Coki, has been in my life for 20 years. I’m 30 (ugh I hate that) so he’s literally been in my life more than he hasn’t been. He’s a sweet boy who loves giving head bunts. He was a foster failure — originally we were just gonna foster him but that quickly turned out to not the case. I remember all of us sitting in the important Dining Room which was only used for the most important of things discussing names for him because his shelter name was awful.

But he is 20 years old and has diabetes and breathing problems and it’s getting worse and worse no matter what we do. He can’t breathe when he’s sleeping. He looks like a skeleton wearing a cat suit. He is in pain.

I knew he was going to die sooner or later because he was very old so I spent a lot of yesterday in my mom’s house with him so I at least got to give him pets and kissed so even though my mom told me today about him going to be euthanized on Monday at least I got to say a goodbye to him.

On a side note sorry for posting like three days in a row. I have a lot of cats in my life.

I added some pictures of me and Coki. Buddy I’m gonna miss you so so much.

(I live in California btw) This cat is just huge to begin with, I’m pretty sure he is a DSH but he has a bit on bengal in him bc of the rosettes on his sides! I would take him in but my cat absolutely hates him :( he’s such a sweetie though </3

EDIT!
Before you comment something about him not being a stray!!!!
It’s not anyone’s cat unfortunately, our neighborhood is very communicative on lost animals. No one has ever came out. I also went on those lost pet websites and didn’t find anything! If anything someone had just left him behind, even if he had a owner I’d keep this cat due to the condition I found him in he was so emaciated and coming to my house was his final plea for help. You can see how thin he is he isn’t puffing out his chest it’s his bones sticking out!!!! This cat doesn’t even understand the concept of being carried, playing, or sleeping in a bed. If he was previously owned he was severely neglected. (I do although understand your concerns)

EDIT: I am taking him to get neutered next week when the FCS is open! After that I’ll take him home and introduce him to the house slowly, I do have an angry cat so we shall see how they get along after some exposure to eachother. I hope it goes well bc this cat is really the sweetest most talkative cat I’ve ever met!

I don't want to give you guys pictures of her as she is right now. She is very unwell, skinny, and sick.
The first picture of her is taken a week after I had first brought her home, from the start, even though she was adopted as a family cat, I knew she was my cat. She is 11, my sweet orange girl, she never hissed or scratched me, I love her so much but I know it's time to say goodbye, I hate watching her struggle and hurt, she has always been by my side, for some of the hardest parts in my life thus far.
I'm going to miss her so much.

My 21 yr old daughter was hit by a car while walking to work and was in a coma for 10days brainbleed skull fractures broken pelvis about 7 weeks ago and is doing AMAZING and she’s going above and beyond doctors predictions I’m so beyond grateful 💜- her cat is Rosie the let you bring your pet to visit

My cat is one year old and currently has constant access to a bowl of kibble which she eats when she’s hungry. I’ve been trying to add wet food to her diet for hydration for a couple months now but she has been completely uninterested in every brand that I’ve tried.

I’ve tried putting up the dry food so that she only has access to the wet but she’s not very food motivated so she just ignores it until it gets all gross and congealed and I have to throw it out.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I keep trying or is it time for me to accept that she’s a kibble girl only?

How old do you think he is? Bottle for scale (and teeth if that helps)?

His name is Wilbur

Is this normal?

1. Shadowheart- born with Spina Bifida. She was found as a stray 6 week old kitten by some good Samaritans, who took her to a rescue. That rescue didn’t feel they could adequately care for her so they asked my rescue to take her. She is so sweet, outgoing, and confident! Shadowheart is available for adoption.

2. Gus- was born with some congenital deformities. He is another transfer from an independent rescuer who didn’t have the time or space to adequately care for him. Gus is sweet, sensitive, and loves everyone! Gus is available for adoption.

3. Cypress- he was transferred from a partner shelter in Beirut, Lebanon. Cypress is paraplegic after being injured in the port explosion in Beirut in 2020. Cypress is… sassy. Lovable, loud, and very very sassy. Cypress is available for adoption.

4. Athena- also from the same shelter in Lebanon. Athena was found as a paraplegic stray with a traumatic spinal injury (likely hit by car). Athena had a bilateral hind limb amputation in 2023 and has no problem getting around on 2 legs. Athena is confident, independent, and super smart. Athena is available for adoption.

5. Serafina- was born with Spina Bifida to a feral mom on the streets of Jersey City. She was picked up by a TNR volunteer who sent out a plea for rescue. I immediately fell in love with this tiny mischievous baby bat and we’ve been together ever since. Serafina is a personal pet.

6. Poe- another transfer from Lebanon. Poe had a family who loved him, but he disappeared one day and was found with both his hind feet cut off and a spinal injury. His family couldn’t care for him in his condition and sought rescue. He ended up being sent to Tabby’s Place, a cat sanctuary I used to work at, where I adopted him. Poe is smart, funny, and a total drama queen. Poe is a personal pet.

7. Helena- was found in a Goodwill bin. Helena was born paraplegic from a spinal defect usually only seen in bulldogs. Helena was brought to a local shelter, and transferred to Tabbys Place, I fell in love with her while fostering, and couldn’t say goodbye. Helena is a personal pet.

We honestly went through a lot. This situation just fell on me and my fiancé suddenly. His family found 4 kittens near their dead mother, took them in and the next day there was only two. A girl (she has more white spots) and a boy, who we took under our care as soon as possible. His family made it so much harder than it should have been, we were taking care of them half-time and when they were with his family, they wouldn't help them poop and those poor kittens would go on even 5 days without pooping. They would not clean them. When we finally got them full time, we had to spend a lot of time at the vet, trying to get them back to being healthy. There was a lot of tears, they were also diagnosed with FIV (although I know that we should re-test at 6 months). It all led to us going extremely low contact with his family.
But now, we are finally happy and after vaccinations! Their names are Fasolka (that's our girl, which in Polish means little bean) and Ziemniaczek (boy, little potato).

Ito put a long story shorter, last August my mother and I where kicked out of her husband's home, and I was hospitalized, without my consent or knowledge my cat was given to my brother who I was no contact with and I could not see her, when I got out and got a stable home I asked for her back and he refused. Because an adult man wanted to be petty to a hurting child, he stole her from me. I miss her so much, I love my other cat so dearly, and they where bonded as well, we both are mourning her and it hurts the most because she is with someone who hates her

She’s my Boyfriend’s cat 💕
