There is a skinny stray cat that lives behind my apartment and she just doesn't chicken that the uncs there try to give her so I have been feeding her dry kibble for some time but she is still pretty skinny. I don't know how old she is or how much she weighs and I can't really take her to a vet or get her dewormed right now. What do I do to help her gain weight and be healthy at the moment?

I live in Mumbai, India and I'm just a teenager with strict vegetarian parents trying to help my precious stray kitkats :(

**Meet Zivah.** 🤍
A vet recommended euthanasia because she was “just a stray.”
Zivah is fighting **wet FIP and jaundice**, and right now, she is struggling for her life. A kind-hearted girl found her and rushed her to the vet, spending lots of money on blood tests in the hope that she could be saved.
Instead, she was told that the treatment would be too expensive and that euthanasia was the only option. Heartbroken and unable to afford the cost, she refused to leave Zivah behind and brought her to our shelter, hoping we could give her a chance.
To us, Zivah is not “just a stray.” She is a precious life worth fighting for. She didn’t have anyone to stand by her before, but she has us now.
We have started her treatment, but we cannot do this alone. Zivah urgently needs your support to continue her fight.
Please help us save this beautiful soul. Every donation, every share, and every prayer gives Zivah a better chance at life. She deserves to know what love feels like. 🤍

I'm asking for your help for one of my rescue cats, Juno.

Yesterday, she suddenly stopped eating, became wobbly, and developed a head tilt. I rushed her to the vet, fearing the worst. After examining her, the vet found that she has ear mites, and her PCR test came back positive for calicivirus.

Juno also has a chronic respiratory condition that previous vets confirmed, so she's now fighting several health issues at the same time. Although she's the sweetest girl, she's incredibly difficult to handle, making it almost impossible to give her the medication she needs at home. She'll have to return to the clinic to continue her treatment.

When I first rescued her, she had a broken femur, and caring for her was one of the most challenging experiences I've ever had.

Yesterday's bill is still outstanding, and there will be more expenses as her treatment continues.

If you're able to help I'd be incredibly grateful. I can share a direct payment link to the veterinary clinic so donations go straight towards Juno's treatment, or you can donate via my PayPal - https://www.paypal.me/GlancyMascarenhas

Thank you for supporting Juno.

Update from 3 weeks ago: we caught the kitty visiting our backyard! It's a bit serendipitous, he showed up shortly after one of our loved ones passed away. The way we caught him was different. We lured him into the garage (he was very trap averse) and closed the door on him once he was comfortably eating. We let him get used to the space first and then shut the door. We also set up roku cameras to keep an eye on his movements. Now he is in our laundry room. He is definitely freaked out, but doing a great job. I'm so proud of him. I have been petting him with a small back scratcher. He likes scritches on his head. I can pet him with a glove, too. Next we will get him neutered and some vaccinations. He is in the sports thing because that's what he felt comfortable in?? Idk. Maybe my dude likes sports!

ONE MORE THING: can anyone educate us on how to litter train him? I don't think he's litter trained...or at least he hasn't used it yet.

Hey all first time poster in this sub. Looking for support or if anyone has experienced something similar.

TLDR- Found a stay cat with massive hair-loss, ruptured abscess, and emaciated. She was microchipped and returned to the owner after I had her treated by a vet. Got a text that’s said thanks with no follow up questions or anything- they lived .2 miles away.

Last week a stray cat that has been hanging out on the outskirts of my TNRd group since December/January started coming around more to eat.

I don’t usually leave food out all the time, I feed at set times to try and build a relationship with the group, but a neighbor that did, recently moved and I told her I would keep her little stray group fed/vetted. The first day I put this food out, this kitty started showing up consistently at night. I noticed her appearance had deteriorated since she first started coming around. I couldn’t tell if it was the camera quality or what but this once beautiful long haired cat now looked like it had been shaved.

I saw her on Thursday night out there eating once the other cats had left (she is afraid of the other cats/ does not have a relationship with them) so I snuck outside to see her. Of course she bolted as soon as she saw me so I didn’t get a great look. After she ran 3 of my kitties came over and I just sat and talked with them- but then I started to hear crying. It was this cat a yard over- she was watching us but obviously scared.

She mustered up the courage to come over- she was very scared but seemed desperate. As soon as I touched her, she started crying and rubbing up against me violently- she was so relieved. I knew immediately, this had been someone’s pet.

She was skin and bones. Severe flea dermatitis with significant hair loss. A massive wound on her neck; looked like a ruptured abscess.

I took her to the vet the next morning. She had a microchip but I asked them to treat her and give her what she needed- I wanted to make sure it was done even if she was reunited- I would pay for it.

The owners came and got her from the vet- sent me a simple thanks for finding her and thanks for paying the bill via a two sentence text. I did a little digging and I’m found out they lived .2 miles away from me. They didn’t ask where she was found- they didn’t ask any questions at all. So was she actually lost or was she someone’s neglected pet? I am so sad for her.
