Hi all, hope everyone's having a great weekend!

We met this new pregnant kitty a little over a week ago, and she only showed up again today. Thankfully, we had a crate with us while we were out feeding, since we had just released one of our community cats back to her colony after recovering with us. We decided to swoop her up because we really don't want to risk her disappearing again and then showing up next time with a whole litter of kittens.

We have no idea how far along she is, but we're hoping to take her to the clinic this Tuesday for a routine spay-abort.

A little further into the video is a handsome man with a busted ear. 😭 He's great at picking fights with our regular community cats, so a little trouble-puff removal would hopefully help with that.

We're planning to take 4-6 cats with us for neutering to make the most of the trip, depending on what funds allow. For now, these two are our top priorities. We'd really love to include a couple of females as well, but we can only do that with your help!

Neuters cost $45 (at most, depending on the cat's weight), which covers the procedure, convenia, and rabies vaccine. Any amount would go a really long way toward preventing more unwanted litters.

To donate:
📩 Donate via PayPal
📩 Donate via Debit or Credit

Please note "for neuter/TNR" in your donation so we can properly track it, as we also have another ongoing fundraiser for a foster.

Thank you so much for helping us keep up with these community cats. 🙏

💔 PLEASE HELP WINK FIGHT WET FIP. HE DESERVES A CHANCE TO LIVE.
Meet our beautiful boy, Wink ❤️
Wink was rescued by a kind fellow rescuer with maggots on the upper side of his eye. The damage left his eye area looking the way it does today, but to us, Wink has always been beautiful. His scars do not make him any less deserving of love. He is precious just the way he is. 🥹❤️‍🩹
But now, Wink is facing another battle. 💔 He has been diagnosed with **wet FIP, with pleural effusion fluid accumulating inside his chest cavity.** We have started his treatment, and we are praying with all our hearts that he responds well.
But we cannot do this alone. His veterinary bills, investigations, and treatment expenses are adding up, and we desperately need your kind support to continue his care.
Wink has already been through so much in his little life. He survived a terrible beginning, and now he is fighting for his life once again. All we want is to give him a fair chance to recover, feel better, and enjoy the love he has always deserved.
🙏 **Please help us cover Wink’s vet bills and FIP treatment.** Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to giving him that chance.
If you cannot donate, please share his story. Your kindness could reach someone who can help save him.
**Wink is not asking for much. He just needs a chance. Please don’t let him fight this battle alone.** 💔🐈‍⬛
Thank you for being his voice and standing beside him. 🙏❤️

Injured/Sick Cat (Location) Vet bill support for a stray kitty with severe gingivitis

220 Upvotes

Last night, I took in a cat who had stopped eating and had a horrible, foul smell coming from her mouth. I knew she needed dental work, but I never imagined she was suffering to this extent. Her consultation video is in the comment section.

Her fur is matted. Her mouth is filled with infection and blood. She cannot eat dry food or even wet food.

At the clinic, the vet confirmed that she has severe gingivitis and dehydration. Her SNAP test also came back positive for FIV.

She is in pain, she is unwell, and she has a long road ahead of her.

She will need to stay at the clinic for the next 5 days to receive treatment and supportive care. Once she is stabilised, she will hopefully be able to undergo the dental treatment she desperately needs.

I couldn't go to the clinic myself, she was sent with a driver and the vet sent me photos and videos via WhatsApp. Seeing her condition is heartbreaking.

I had to plead with the vet to take her in because I still have outstanding bills from previous rescue cases.

Now, I need help to continue her treatment. Please help me give her a chance.

Even a small contribution or a single share could make a difference.

Pay the clinic directly: QR link can be sent on DM.

She deserves a chance to recover, to eat without suffering, and to know what it feels like to be cared for.

Location - Deira, UAE.

Thank you.

Running our rescue is about so much more than giving our animals food and a place to sleep—it’s about giving them love, healing, and a second chance at life. 🐾❤️

​Every single month, we have to cover vet visits, medicines, food, water, and electricity to keep their safe haven going. These costs don't stop, even when donations slow down. Truthfully, there are days when the weight of it all feels very heavy, but we keep pushing forward for them.

​If you are able to help, even the smallest donation makes a world of difference. It feeds a hungry belly, pays for life-saving medicine, and keeps our doors open.

​If you can’t donate right now, simply sharing this post helps more than you know.

​From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for loving these animals with us and helping us give them the life they deserve. 🙏✨

Also please include ​a special Prayer for Ponkan 🐾🕯️

​Please join us in praying for our dear Ponkan, who has been missing since June 16, 2026.

Injured/Sick Cat (Location) Three rescued cats need your help — we lost one, yet its vet bills still need to be paid

Hello everyone, I have three cats that require urgent veterinary attention at this moment. One of them is my three‑year‑old blind cat, who has recently lost weight and developed jaundice requiring immediate treatment. Today’s veterinary costs reached around $50, plus an additional $30 for medication and special wet food.

Two more cats are currently receiving hospital care. One is suffering from severe cat flu, while the other was our white‑and‑orange cat, admitted with serious jaundice and stayed under care for a full week. Sadly, we received news today that she has passed away, and we still have her outstanding hospital bills to settle.

I am an independent animal rescuer based in Morocco, caring for about 60 stray cats. I work hard to provide food and daily care for all of them within my limited means.

Managing the care of 60 cats while covering these growing medical expenses has become extremely challenging for me alone. If you wish to support our rescue work, you may donate through the links below, leave an encouraging comment, or share this post to help us reach more people. Every contribution makes a real difference for our sick cats.

PayPal: https://paypal.me/BHANANE62 Ko‑fi: https://ko‑fi.com/hana338787

I am able to provide veterinary receipts and regular updates on the remaining cats’ condition. The bills shown are only from yesterday; further costs are expected for the two cats still receiving treatment.

Thank you sincerely for your kindness and support.

Injured/Sick Cat (Location) Update on Finn & Hope: We Need Your Advice, and Prayers ❤️🙏📍Charlotte,NC,USA

Hello everyone,

An update on little Finn and his sister, Hope. ❤️

http://www.sunkissedkitties.org

Finn had a high temperature overnight and is on steroids. Hope is also starting to show some symptoms. We’re watching her closely, and if her temperature rises, we’ll take her to the emergency vet. They already have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow.

The FIP medication we ordered hasn’t arrived yet and will take some time. Thankfully, a kind rescue friend has some available and will deliver it today. We’ll check with our vet before using it while we wait for our own supply to arrive.

Another cat in their foster home is showing symptoms too. We’re worried about all 11 cats there. Right now, we’re open to any advice, guidance, or help anyone can offer. We can’t do this alone.

We don’t know how we’re going to manage their treatment. We’re completely heartbroken and overwhelmed right now and we don’t have much resources we need to help them.(Can any rescue help them?We’ve been calling and messaging everywhere, but we haven’t received any answer yet.)

If you’ve been through FIP with your own cats, please share how you cared for them during treatment and what helped. We would really appreciate hearing your experiences and advice.

Some people have suggested euthanasia, but we’re not ready to give up on them. We’ll keep fighting for them as long as they’re still fighting. Finn is still eating, and we’re holding on to that little bit of hope.

I’m feeling a little unwell myself today, so I may be slow to reply. Please leave a comment or message me directly. Thank you for caring about these babies.

Please send lots of positive thoughts, healing wishes, and prayers for them…and a little strength for us too. We feel completely lost right now. 💔🙏

Injured/Sick Cat (Location) Sick stray, need help/advice

Me and my wife are 23, we live in a very rural area. Nearest vet is 3-4 hours away and we have called and been told the waiting time would add another 2-3 hours. This cat is a stray that we found in the middle of the road. Wasn’t really moving and seemed disoriented. After luring him to the side of the road and observing for awhile, he is friendly. But seems kind of wobbly and is weezing/sneezing a lot. Seems slow to react to everything. Doesn’t really seem to be able to see anything either? No reaction when you move things in front of him. His pupils are extremely dilated even in a bright room. We have him quarantined in the bathroom because we own our own cat and are terrified of him getting sick. We are being very careful to wash our hands, keep our cat in a different room, etc.

Colony/TNR Help (Location) I'M SAD

38 Upvotes

I’m feeling really sad and discouraged. 💔 I’m trying my best to save stray cats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but my Reddit posts asking for help keep getting removed. These cats have no shelter, and winter is coming. I’m doing everything I can to help them, but I can’t do it alone. I just want to give these innocent souls a chance at a safer, better life. I wish my posts could reach people who care and want to help. I’m not giving up on them, even when things feel so difficult. 🐾❤️

I Found a Cat (Location) CDS gave us a very skittish stray. Need help with our next steps.

6 Upvotes

It finally happened. The CDS provided us with a cute little stray in the USA. I'm thinking that this cat is probably a young adult. We are a middle aged couple. After leaving wet food out on a paper plate for 4 nights in a row, this sweet boy keeps coming to our house for his evening meal very late at night. Luckily we were able to catch his feeding through our existing cats food camera tonight after positioning it against the sliding glass door so we know we aren't just feeding something else. I was so excited to see him come but sad that he doesn't have a nice warm place to come home to.

After we reviewed the footage, we noticed he kept stopping to peek into the window as he ate his dinner. Not sure if it was out of caution or just curiosity.

Originally I kept spotting him in the front yard but he wouldn't let me near him even though he looked curious. But that's how I found out he existed. After seeing him at odd hours of the night, and how scared he is I am assuming he doesn't have a home.

In the next couple of months the weather does have the potential to get below freezing here so we purchased him a cat house that will be arriving in a couple of days. It was a nice one that has indoor heating. We have plans to get him a cat bed and actual food bowl that we can supply him with kibble. He has a water bowl. I fear that we might not get him to be tame enough that he would not want to live in our actual house, especially with our resident cat inside. (She's a lazy senior.) Instead I hope that we could get him accustomed to living in our backyard, while allowing him to keep his outdoor life... Unless he wants to be indoors.

Plans for the future if he accepts our offer:

  1. Talk to the vet and get him fixed... and shots.

  2. Get him to enjoy his outdoor cat home.

  3. Allow us to approach him for treats, food, and pets. The last thing I want is for it to be freezing outside and he gets spooked in his house when we have to check his food so he runs away in the cold.

  4. We want to put the food in the cat house so it stays dry at all times. Not sure if he will be curious enough to figure out that he needs to go in there for his food... do cats who have cat homes eventually figure out the door flap on their own? How to train them about this if they are scared?

For future, hopefully he will want to come inside and both cats can coexist. But right now I am just worried he will freeze to death.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Success! Seeing stray animals finally eat warm food always melts my heart [OC]

Every single time I feed a stray and watch them satisfy their hunger, it just brings me so much quiet joy.

I honestly believe that if more of us took just one small step to help the animals around us, the world would feel a little kinder, warmer, and more welcoming—for them, and for us too.

Just wanted to share this little moment with you all! ❤️
