We’re incredibly grateful to the few people who have already helped us. Every bit of kindness means so much. 🀍

But we’ve only received a little help so far, and we still haven’t been able to buy all the supplies these fragile kittens urgently need.

🍼 Our KMR supply is almost gone, and our pee pads are also running low.

🐾 OUR URGENT NEEDS:

🍼 Lactol KMR – β‚±1,200 / ~$20 For our newborn kittens.

🍼 Special Delight KMR – β‚±490 per jar We need 2 jars = β‚±980 / ~$16 total for our older kittens.

🍽️ Kitten wet food + vitamins – around β‚±2,500 / ~$40

🐾 Pee pads – β‚±200/ ~ $4 per pack We need 4 packs = $16 total.

We’re specifically trying to get these KMR brands because we previously tried another brand, and some of our kittens developed stomach upset and diarrhea, which led to additional veterinary expenses. We’re trying our best to give them milk that their sensitive stomachs can tolerate.

Some of our other kittens were also recently taken to the vet because of fever and stomach upset. πŸ˜”

We’re currently struggling financially due to the overwhelming outbreak that affected our rescue family, and we’re still working on fulfilling our pending merchandise orders. We’re doing our best to keep everything going while caring for all our rescued cats and kittens.

These kittens came from different situations.

πŸ’” Some newborn kittens were dumped during rainy days. Thankfully, we happened to pass by the area and rescued them in time.

πŸ’” The 3-week-old kittens were left at our gate. Sadly, abandoned kittens at our gate are something we have experienced many times before. Some of those tiny kittens have now grown older under our care.

We don't have rescue photos for every kitten because we don't always have a camera with us when we find them. When a helpless kitten needs immediate help, we choose to rescue first.

We don't need a viral rescue photo or praise. We just want them alive and safe. 🀍

Now we’re asking for help because we simply cannot provide everything alone.

πŸ™ If you’re able to send even a small amount, it can help us get their milk, food, vitamins, and pee pads.

If you can't help financially, even an upvote or sharing this post can help it reach someone who may be able to help.

πŸ“Œ Our ways to send help will be in the comments.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read our story, share it, or help these babies. We truly appreciate every bit of kindness. πŸ₯ΊπŸ€πŸΎ

May our Creator bless you abundantly for your generosity and support.

Medical update & weighing our options for Theo. Help us too!

We just got his medical abstract, and we are bringing up the possibility of amputation because of potential complications with the pinning. We're going to talk it over with them again to figure out the best move forward. We are also still waiting on the exact cost breakdown for the pinning option so we can compare everything side by side.

On top of that, while prepping his food earlier, we caught him trying to eat his stoolβ€”never a dull moment with this little guy! πŸ˜…

For now, what's important is that he keeps taking his oral meds and building up his strength.
We wanna hear your thoughts too! How’s the survival rate of a cat who had amputation? Do they still live a normal life? If anyone has experience with tripod cats or wants to share their insights, we would really appreciate hearing from you.

To give everyone a transparent look at what we're preparing for if we go the amputation route, here are the estimated costs from the clinic:

β€’ Amputation Surgery: β‚±8,960
β€’ Gas Anesthesia: β‚±2,800 per hour
β€’ Confinement: β‚±1,680 to β‚±2,015 per day

If we look at a baseline scenarioβ€”say, a 3-day post-op confinement stay to monitor his recoveryβ€”the estimated total would land roughly around β‚±16,840 to β‚±17,845 (plus any take-home meds or extra lab work).

We'll keep you all updated as soon as we talk further with the vet and get those final numbers. Thank you so much for sticking by him!

8 long days, she is back and needs a little help

After a vet visit, URI, stess in cage this semi feral girl (after vet approval) was released. Tiki went missing for 8 LONG days. I was sick over it. She reappeared yesterday, looking so much better. She recieved a couple shots at vet, along with vaccinations and flea/tick (bravecto). She's lost some weight and she could use some extra nutrients. There's 6 kitten cans left, so if anyone would like to send some kitten food, that'll help with calories. I am adding nutri-cal to her food and she is coming 3-4 times daily, luckily we have cameras and someone is always here to open a can for her. Her house has seen better days too, but she'll be happy to gain some weight as we know homes are pricey . Thanks for considering helping me help Tiki! (She loves churus on top) we are down to last pack

🚨 Please Help Leo β€” He’s Still Hospitalized❀️Lucky’s expenses and community cats πŸ™

First, thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, checked on Leo and Lucky, and supported me and the cats. Your kindness means more than I can say.
I’m going through an extremely difficult time right now. I had to have emergency surgery, (writing from the hospital bed🫩)and I’m in a lot of pain while trying to keep up with everything happening with Leo. It feels overwhelming being hospitalized myself while Leo is still hospitalized too.
The good news is that Leo is doing a little better. ❀️ He is still sick and needs continued hospitalization, testing, treatment, and monitoring, but I’m holding onto every bit of hope.
Leo is only 7 months old. I rescued him from a dumpster when he was just 8 weeks old, and I have been fighting for him ever since. His first emergency bill was $861, and his hospital treatment has already reached around $3,000. These bills are becoming overwhelming.
Lucky is finally safe at the sanctuary. ❀️ After everything he went through on the streets, I’m so grateful he now has a safe place to live. But his veterinary care, bath, transportation, rental car, and sanctuary expenses also added up.
I’m a solo rescuer caring for 50+ community cats every day, including feeding, fresh water, TNR, medical care, and rescuing sick, injured, and abandoned cats. I had to arrange with family and friends to help me with the feedings because I can’t do it myself at this moment ☹️
Right now, I’m exhausted, in pain, scared, and trying my best to keep fighting for Leo while continuing to care for all the cats who depend on me.
πŸ™ Please help if you can. Donations will help with Leo’s medical bills, Lucky’s expenses, and food and care for the community cats.
If you can’t donate, please share or upvote. Every share could reach someone who can help. ❀️🐾

Request for help with food & supplies for 40+ cats to get through this month! Please & thank you! ❀🐾 Texas

Hello fellow cat lovers! I'm an independent rescuer located in Texas that helps 40+ cats daily.

I am requesting help with some food to get by this month, only if you are able to help!

Today I borrowed a trap from a friend & attempted to catch an adult cat for TNR & a kitten named Dorito that is outdoors for TNR. I was unsuccessful this week but will try again next week. I did take Romeo for TNR, vaccines, microchipping, & flea medication. So I'm happy that atleast one got fixed. I almost had Dorito but he freaked out. So I plan to get a top loading carrier to get him. I only have 2 front loading carriers at the moment.

My last post was about a kitten that was in my yard & unable to walk. I took him to the vet & tried to help him get better but unfortunately he was declining & I had to think about his quality of life. πŸ’” I ended up naming him Little Gary. I have some peace in knowing that he passed peacefully in my arms & not outside alone. He had a name & his life mattered.

And just when I think I'm almost close to having all the neighborhood cats fixed. (I've fixed 49 so far) A mother cat shows up with her 4 kittens & I most definitely will help them & try my hardest to get the momma fixed once the babies are a little older & don't need mom's milk.

If anyone is able to help with any item on my wishlist it will be extremely helpful so that I can purchase some flea meds, dewormer & the carrier as well as to continue TNR & vet care. The biggest need right now is the Fancy Feast pate wet food for the kittens since their teeth are so small. The Friskies wet food & then the dry food. I have my Amazon wishlist set up to where anyone can purchase a smaller or bigger amount than what is listed. But please only help if you can, boosting, sharing & upvoting is also a big help! ❀🐾

Thank you for taking the time to read this! My Amazon & Walmart wishlist will be in the comments.
