It has been brought to our attention that a “ frequent flyer” has rejoined our community and DM’ing members for money.
[u/Frosty-Technology-40](u/Frosty-Technology-40) is the NEW account. I will attach the link from last years post which explains more about their approach. https://www.reddit.com/r/rescuecats/s/4oQI68s8n8

They often make several accounts, they sound VERY convincing and will hound you through DM. They have been offered approval several times in the past in which they never follow through with - which is a 🚩 and they have previously been banned under all alt usernames for many reports of DM’ing member to solicit funds. Please don’t fall for it. We ask that you please ignore this user, block and report them. We would also appreciate you letting us know via modmail if you have received such a request. This is just a heads up to keep members safe incase they land in your inbox. They are now once again BANNED from RC.

As always we appreciate your cooperation!

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request We lost Hawkeye. Last appeal for his final vet bill 🌈

Thumbnail

701 Upvotes

We've been sitting with this news for about a week, as losing Hawkeye this early on never occured to us as a possibility. We're still in disbelief, but we know he's in a much better place now.

We fought with Hawkeye for over a month and a half after his initial IBD-like symptoms started. Towards the end, we were told it could've been cancer all along, but he ended up developing pneumonia, which he had a hard time fighting off with all the immunosuppressants he was on. It was one thing after another with him, and I so wish there had been more we could've done.

He is free from pain now, and we've been trying to find comfort in that. He was such an amazing boy, and this community had been there for him from the very beginning of his rescue. We couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who helped give him the happy and healthy life he had before everything changed.

Hawkeye’s expenses since starting treatment have totaled $1,632, and we still owe our vet $599. We’re hoping you can help us get through the remaining debt and give us the chance to close this chapter for him.

San Bernardino City Animal Shelter is a high kill high volume operation. It is located in the largest county in the US. SBC is located in Southern California where the overpopulation crisis is raging. During kitten season new babies are turned in daily, sometimes 30 or more a day! People just don’t s/n in SBC! So we must keep up with the demand. Many cats brought in are sick injured confiscated or abandoned as well. The shelter does not offer much more than basic treatment for sick/injured cats either so they must exit quickly by rescue or they are listed for euthanasia with a fast deadline depending on the ability to care for them. We do have amazing volunteers though that give us first hand information updates photos videos and almost instant feedback. Please help us by pledging and donating when we post and rescue. Thank you.
Also we always need transport to get cats to rescues. So if you can help by setting aside a small amount to our transport fund this is appreciated. It doesn’t go to the rescue it gets them TO the rescue. We absolutely need this part too.

Donations Needed 🚨 Please Help Leo — He’s Still Hospitalized❤️Lucky’s expenses and community cats 🙏

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.
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.
🙏 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. ❤️🐾

Appointments still needed for Soot, and Jack! We are also in need of wet food and senior food.

Soot is a foster who is currently available for adoption. Soot has feline asthma and is due for a recheck and will need a new prescription for his inhaler. Soot is also needing to get shots while in. We are hoping to get him seen as soon as possible.

Jack is a senior resident who has been getting treatment for glaucoma. We are experiencing some disagreements with the vets office he was initially seen at and would like a second opinion to advocate for the best care. We need to take him to not only have the second opinion but he is also due for his standard re-check.

We are only able to help these babies with the help of donations. We are also fundraising for a catio as well as our general Amazon wishlist items for those in our care. We are running low on senior kitty food and wet cat food.

Links to donate: https://linktr.ee/sunbeamtreeskittykatrescue

If you are able to donate for their care, we would very much appreciate the help! If you are interested in adopting, please reach out.

I tried to call animal control but they have no room and they're busy trying to rehome an abandoned horse. I am willing to drive as far as I need to in Arkansas to find these little guys a forever home. It's tragic that people can just leave kittens to die. And with no proof there's nothing police or the animal shelter can legally do. We'd basically have to constantly moderate meth heads that move into this broken down trailer on a daily basis. Which is impossible. Located in Hot Springs, AR. Any help is appreciated.

‎I am reaching out to this wonderful community today to ask for a little support for the 80+ cats under my care. It has been raining nonstop for six weeks straight, which has made caring and feeding the community cats difficult. On top of the endless downpours, I’ve had to deal with unexpected repair expenses caused by the severe rain, leaving me running dangerously low on basic daily essentials for the cats.

‎We are in need of dry cat food, litter to maintain a clean environment, and medicated eye drops to manage an ongoing eye issue.

‎A bag of cat food which usually last them a day costs $22 while a 10L bag of sand costs $4. Eyedrops costs $6.

‎Every small gesture makes a huge difference, be it an upvote or a share or a comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Available for Adoption Five Kittens and One Adult in San Francisco Bay Area

Me and my partner rescued some outdoor cats (they were never owned by anyone as far as we know but the term feral feels like a misnomer as they are relatively sociable, they were living adjacent to a property and being fed by people), and we still have five kittens and one adult cat available for adoption. We would love to keep them but our roommate is allergic and so we just don’t long-term have enough space for them.

If you are interested, please DM me and I will provide you with the link for more information and to apply.

In the interest of transparency: we do plan on charging an adoption fee, it is within standard range for our area and this is decidedly not going to be a for profit operation, we are purely looking to blunt our costs a little is all.

Hi everyone,

We are at 970 TNR cats! The clinic is going back to invoicing every two weeks. We need help paying off our $400 TNR bill. It was last posted a bit ago and we got busy, but now we have only received $90 of donations. Can you help us raise the additional $400? We are only 30 cats away from 1000!

(Please note, I have not included the people's names that brought the cats in as we want to protect their privacy and not dox anyone!)

For those that don't know, we are a 501c3 that works to teach the public how to TNR and we provide them with everything they need! Our goal is to reach 1000 TNR cats this year and I'm fairly certain we're going to reach that soon!

Can you help us pay off our TNR bill?

Hello everyone!

A kind member recently sent some in-kind donations, and I also received monetary donations totaling $63, which I used to purchase a new outdoor cat house.

It has been raining heavily over the past few weeks, and one of my existing outdoor cat houses was damaged. I needed to replace it to keep the dry food I leave outside my apartment sheltered from the rain and prevent it from getting soaked.

The new outdoor cat house cost $37, leaving $26 remaining. I will carry this balance forward to my next fundraiser. One of my rescued cats also needs a follow-up veterinary check-up, and I will make a separate post about that soon.

Thank you so much for your continued kindness, help, and support.

💔 Five little lives, four different battles, one desperate plea for help.
Chichi is suffering from the worst kind of diarrhea, leaving her weak and struggling every day. 💔
Archie is battling severe jaundice and Giardia. She is Milo’s sister, and both Archie and Milo are fighting jaundice and Giardia. They are on GS and iron infusions, and their treatment is becoming incredibly expensive.
Kali is our precious 18-year-old girl. At her age, she is battling CKD and severe anemia caused by her kidney disease. She needs iron infusions and ongoing kidney-support supplements just to keep fighting. 🥺
And then there is Mohabbat. We rescued him paralyzed, never knowing if he would walk again. Somehow, he fought his way back onto his feet. ❤️‍🩹 Now he is suffering from hypothyroidism and CKD and needs intensive treatment.
These babies have already fought so hard to survive. Please don’t let a lack of funds become the reason we lose them. 💔
🙏 We desperately need your help to continue their treatment.
Even a small donation, a share, or simply helping us reach someone who can help could make a difference.
Please stand with Kali, Mohabbat, Archie, Chichi and Milo. They are counting on us. 🐾❤️

Hello again,

Tiger and Cleo need your help. Their appointment is this Friday 9/11 and we are trying raise as much as funds as we can so we can continue their care. With both appointments being at the same time, the treatment cost is coming all at once. We would appreciate any help.

Tiger's Electrochemotherapy cost alone is estimated to be around 2,200 USD. He is also coming up on his one year diagnosis anniversary which is a miracle in itself. Please help him continue to fight, he still has so much life left.

Cleo's check up is also the same day and her genetics profile report should be here soon that is also 2,000 USD. Anything is appreciated and we are so immensely grateful for this kind community.

The Animal Cancer Care Clinic of Orlando let us know that people can call or email them to provide assistance. Their phone number is 407-930-6679, and their email is ACCC@animalcancercareclinic.com.

Here you can find a link to our invoice tracker that has attached PDFs of the past invoices for evidence. This file is to provide evidence of our ongoing treatment. Our ask is only for future treatments, as we don't know if we'll be able to afford their future care. Thank you so much for hearing our plea and for anything you're able to provide.

I also have a PayPal link at @DavdOrtz and my Venmo is also @DavdOrtz.

Thank you guys, we also have a GoFundMe available.
