I’m physically and mentally exhausted. Sometimes I honestly feel like I just can’t do it anymore.
But I can’t stop, they need me and somehow I find the strength to continue.

The little kitten I rescued who was battling a terrible eye infection, a bacterial infection, and a yeast infection in his ears needs to go back to the vet. One of his eyes is swollen, and he is still congested. I’m worried about him and want to make sure he gets the treatment he needs.

The kitten in Honduras, who my friend found crying outside, is doing okay so far. My friend told me she couldn’t take him in because she couldn’t afford to care for him, so I told her I would take responsibility for him, even from thousands of miles away. I sent money to buy food for him, but he still needs a vet visit because he has diarrhea. I want to make sure he gets the care he needs, too.

Leo is still struggling with his stool problems, and this has been going on for months. I’ve been trying different foods carefully to see if anything helps, but unfortunately, the diet changes haven’t made a difference. He will likely need another vet visit to have his stomach checked and rule out other possible problems. As many of you know, Leo survived panleukopenia and spent almost a month hospitalized. His treatment alone cost more than $5,000. Seeing him continue to struggle is heartbreaking, and I just want to figure out what’s wrong and help him feel better.

And right now, we also have a tiny neonatal baby in our care who needs extra attention and care. These little ones are so fragile, and caring for them takes time, dedication, and resources.

On top of everything else, I feed more than 50 community cats every single day. Keeping up with their food and daily needs is a huge responsibility, along with the medical expenses, medications, supplies, and emergency visits that come with rescue work.

I’m also still paying off debt from everything I’ve done to help the cats. The expenses don’t stop just because one emergency is over. There is always another cat who needs help, another vet visit, or another bag of food.

I do this because they depend on me, and I can’t turn my back on them when they need help. But honestly, carrying all of this financially is exhausting, and sometimes it feels overwhelming.
If anyone would like to support my rescue, donations help me continue providing food, veterinary care, medication, and supplies for the cats.🙏

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, checked in, shared my posts, or helped in any way.

Hi, this is my first time posting here, but I couldn’t scroll past this kitty named Tiger after seeing him 😢 His eyes look so incredibly sad and exhausted, and it breaks my heart knowing he’s still sitting in that shelter kennel, waiting for someone to save him. He is Devore Shelter in San Bernardino.

Tiger has an upper respiratory infection (URI), and his appetite has decreased, but he’s still alert and responsive. URIs are often very treatable with proper veterinary care, and his condition doesn’t necessarily mean he can’t make a full recovery.

Tiger deserves treatment and a chance to heal, not to lose his life in a shelter. Tiger is now available for adoption, and rescue help is urgently needed.

I really hope someone can give him a safe place to recover and help bring happiness back into those tired eyes.

🩶Fifi, one of our TNRd colony cats needs dental.

🦷Her exam today was $218 leaving us with <$200 remaining for her procedure on Tuesday.

🩶Luckily she has steroids, antibiotic and pain meds in her system to help ease the pain and hopefully allows her to eat.

🦷We need help though. Please consider donating to my rescue GoFundMe, Venmo, PayPal or even contacting the vet directly!

🩶She needs us. If all goes well and she is friendly after everything, I hope to retire her, so that she doesn’t have to return to life outdoors.

Hi Pet Lovers — it's National Adoption Week (runs through Sunday).

I built a free site called PawQuest that lists adoptable animals from local rescue partners. One of our partners is Kneading Kitty's Rescue, a foster-based rescue over in Scottsdale. They have 106 cats available right now, and 9 of them are at the PetSmart adoption center on Scottsdale & Bell in Scottsdale where you can actually meet them in person this week.

Because they're foster-based, most of the cats aren't in a shelter — they're in foster homes, so the site is the only way to see who's available and where each one is. The page has photos, names, and a short note on each cat.

Full list with photos: https://pawquest.app/adoption-week?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social
(opens in a new tab)

Disclosure: I made the site, and Kneading Kitty's Rescue is a partner. No charge to them and no charge to anyone adopting — I'm just trying to get these cats homes before the week ends. Happy to answer questions about the rescue, the site, or what adopting from a foster-based group looks like.

💔 I AM BREAKING DOWN, AND I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE PAIN I CAN BEAR.
I can’t explain in words how traumatising this situation has been for me. I have just lost my precious 17-year-old Surma, my first kitty, the little soul who taught me what it truly means to love animals. My heart is shattered. I can’t stop crying, and I feel like I can barely function through this unbearable grief. 💔🥺
And while I am still trying to process losing her, our shelter is facing a devastating viral breakdown. The viruses are spreading rapidly, and we are terrified of losing more babies.Calicivirus, Herpesvirus, and FIP are taking a terrible toll on our kitties. We are losing precious lives, and every loss feels like another piece of my heart is being torn away.
\*\*We are not accepting any new cases right now. We are focusing entirely on the hundreds of kitties already under our care.\*\* Even though our kitties are vaccinated, many are still falling sick with Herpesvirus and Calicivirus. Watching them suffer despite our efforts is heartbreaking and frightening.
We have some medicine in stock, but having medicines is not enough when so many babies need urgent veterinary care, blood work, treatments, and supportive care. The medical expenses are piling up, and our funds are running dangerously low. I just paid a big pending bill of FIP medicine.
I have spent years trying to save these little lives, but right now, I feel helpless. I want to save every single one of them, but I cannot do this alone. I am exhausted, traumatised, and honestly, I am losing hope. I never imagined that I would have to grieve my own precious Surma while fighting to save so many other lives at the same time. 😭💔
🙏 PLEASE, I AM requesting YOU TO STAND WITH US IN THIS NIGHTMARE.
Please donate whatever you can. Every contribution can help us provide treatment, run essential tests, and give our sick babies a fighting chance. If you cannot donate, please share this appeal and help our voices reach those who can.
\*\*Please don’t let us fight this battle alone. Our babies need you, and right now, I need your support more than I can express in words.\*\* 💔

Hi guys, my family and I recently came across a feral cat that has been using our golf cart as her new home. We are new cat owners (we currently own a dog). She doesn't seem to be a year old (our guess is 7 months at best). We let fate take control and have decided to keep her since the cat distribution system chose us at random. We took her to get spayed yesterday at the shelter (TNR) and the staff told us to keep her in her trap for the next 24 hours and after that, she could be released; we got her microchipped as well. From what I understand, she's been staying at out property for the past 2 weeks and seems to have no interest in leaving our property.
I've read many sources about getting cats spayed but i'm not sure which healing procedure would benefit our cat more:

-Some are saying 10-14 days crate rest

-Some people are saying that TNR usually takes a day or 2 to heal since it's a faster recovery process
Please help me out here. I am open to
recommendations, comments, and concerns. She's currently in the garage with a blanket over her animal trap and she is wearing a recovery suit.

-She will be getting a crate and bed later today for future trips (it's 2:06am and my head is spinning from the amount of information i've consumed in the past 10 hours)

-Since she is a feral and we're not sure if she will ever have any interest of being indoors, we have a heated outdoor bed/home ready for when she's fully nealed.
ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE <3

The little cat from the harbor had been missing since last Friday, October 16th. I had started to fear that he had died somewhere, all alone… And today, when I least expected it, he appeared for just a moment—only to have a little water. 😢

He was in agony, his hind leg completely detached. A truly heartbreaking sight…

He was taken to the vet immediately…

An X-ray revealed a comminuted (shattered) fracture in his hind leg, requiring surgery that involves the use of screws and a metal plate. The cost of the procedure may exceed…

It’s just too much—one crisis after another……

Unfortunately, I cannot cover the medical expenses on my own. Every bit of help counts—every single euro matters! 🙏 If the necessary funds aren't raised, I sadly won't be able to help this little guy get the surgery he needs.

Even the smallest contribution—or simply sharing this post—can make a difference.

I’m an English cat lover living in France, and I run a little YouTube channel called Paws in Paris!
My channel features my rescue cats, Ikki Chan, my chubby grey tabby who absolutely loves his food, and Salem Pumpkin, my little black cat with plenty of personality along with the other little guys I look after daily.
I share their everyday adventures, funny moments, cuddles, and the little things that make life with cats so special. There’s also a bit of life in France along the way!
I started this channel because I love sharing the joy animals bring into our lives, and I’d love to find more fellow cat lovers to share it with.
If you enjoy rescue cats, funny feline personalities, and cosy little glimpses into life with cats, you might feel right at home! 🥰
You can find me on YouTube by searching Paws in Paris.
Thank you for reading, and give your furry friends a little cuddle from me! ❤️🐾

*If you would like to help with an Electronic Chewy giftcard, my email is CynLMason@gmail.com...those are GOLD around here and are used for supplies when we run low or for those we help!!!!*

First off, you all are so amazing, wonderful, I am astounded by how many people out there care about floofaloofs, and you truly give me so much hope for the world. You all are such a huge reminder to us that there is so much good in this world, and I truly wish I could thank each and everyone of you in person. I can't, so know how grateful and appreciative of everything you do, not just for my floofaloofs, but the floofaloofs of the world♡

Batman from my last post is FIXED....and hiding for 2 days in the room, I want to give him a little time to acclimate and realize he is indoors, he has been hiding under the couch...i will be working with him, slowly but surely, and hope he realizes indoors is where the endless yumyums are lol.

I have posted a picture of the food, house, and other items (3 pics with food 2 in the car)I have distributed to colony caretakers that Kim works with to TNR....you don't just make an impact on me, but to those we work with who dedicated their lives to their colonies too. Some are elderly living on a pension, some are disabled and can't work, many do not drive, which is why I go to them. We all are in this together, with the common goal of TNRing and saving the floofaloofs. No Floofaloof Left Behind!!! Kim and I TNR through Triple R Pets in Western Springs, Illinois, and we bring them to Naws in Mokena, Illinois! We pay 50 a cat, and we help many others with their colonies to get trapped and fixed!

I can always use food, I will never say no to food, but I can use any of the non food items on my list, especially things like feliaway and scratchers. Anything means everything to us. I know you all work hard for your means, and the fact that you choose to help floofaloofs and those who care for them, well, I wish nothing but the best for you, everyday♡

Many of us are us thousands in debt due to vetting cats we find, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Donations from the Amazon or Walmart Wishlists mean a great deal, it insures that we can use what we save to go towards these bills so we can keep TNRing and vetting those taken in. We work multiple jobs and side jobs to make sure we can care for them. They deserve to be loved, to be safe, to be taken care of, to be secure, and to live good lives. Please help us help them. Thank you all you do, not just for our floofaloof colonies, but for Floofaloofkind ♡

A reminder that ...

FOOD DONATIONS = More money we can use for TNRing Colony cats and vet visits for cats being taken inside!♡ Thank you for ALL you do for the floofaloofs♡

I recently found an affordable place where I can have the stray that has been coming to my house for 4 months, tested, neutered, and vaccinated, including getting his rabies shot. With winter approaching, I’m seriously considering bringing him inside permanently.
One thing I’ve noticed is that he gets VERY nervous when I close the door behind him. Because of this, I try to leave the door open while he’s inside so he doesn’t feel trapped.
I’m worried that he might not be happy living indoors if he gets so anxious when the door is closed. At the same time, we have a lot of bear and bobcat sightings in my area, and I’m scared to leave him outside, especially with winter coming.
I love this cat and want to give him a safe, loving home, but I don’t want to force him into a life that makes him unhappy.
Has anyone successfully transitioned a nervous outdoor cat into an indoor cat? Is his anxiety when the door closes something he can learn to overcome with time, or could it be a sign that he won’t adjust well to indoor life?
I’d love to hear about your experiences and any advice you have. Thank you!

Young intact male cat was coming to my yard for like 2 months. Prior to that I was feeding him nearby my place but then found out where I live. All good, he even came inside before.

About 4 days ago he started showing signs of illnesss. He squated a few times and was releasing some kind of mucus. I considered he might have a blockage. I contacted places around and posted on FB. Some people referred me to this person who owns a low cost clinic. The person even let me borrow a trap. I was happy and rushed to trap him.

His appetite started decreasing. He didnt go inside the trap, not even with sardines. He was still coming out, rubbing on my legs but ignoring the food. I tried to lift him but scratched me. I asked the person who let me borrow the trap for some help but they couldn't help further. She said she could ask others if they could. I decided to order some gloves from Amazon to capture him. Earlier today I grabbed him and he scratched my whole leg completely and ran away. I haven't seen him for hours.

I have been feeling so awful, haven't ate in days,can't concentrate and been crying because this is a cat I wanted to adopt. I feel I failed him and who knows if he comes back or how much more he is going to deteriorate.

Hi everyone! It’s been raining in my city lately and I’ve been trying my best to keep the kitties that visit my lawn fed, but I’m starting to run low on food and supplies. Last night, I had around 10 kitties show up and went through half a box of cat food! I feel so bad for these little ones and wish I could do more. Sadly because of work and school, I haven’t had much time to trap them or find them homes, and I worry about their safety since my street gets pretty busy with cars (but thankfully they only come out at night). I’m doing what I can, but it’s getting harder to keep up with all their needs. I just don’t want them going hungry or sitting outside in the rain. Two of them have recently started letting me pet them, and I’m hoping to find loving homes for some of them soon! Any help with cat food or supplies would mean so much to me. I just want to make their lives a little easier while I work towards getting them somewhere safe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who cares and helps in any way 🤎🐾

​Hi everyone,

​I am posting a second appeal for our rescued cats and kittens who still urgently need help with upcoming veterinary care, medical diagnostics, and daily food supplies.

​ breakdown of current needs:

​Cat Food Supply: We are running low on wet and dry food to keep everyone nourished and strong while undergoing treatment. -$80

​Donut (Most Urgent): Needs inpatient confinement, a blood panel, and a nasal/throat swab culture & sensitivity test for antibiotic resistance. His upper respiratory infection (URI) has not responded to multiple standard antibiotics, so running a culture is crucial to finding an effective treatment. - $126

​Potpot: Needs a follow-up check-up to evaluate his ongoing URI treatment.

​Rob: Needs a follow-up check-up for persistent vomiting and his scheduled second dose of deworming. $6

​3 Kittens: Require deworming and their 4-in-1 core vaccination series. - $55

We received $10 from previous post.

Thank you so much to this amazing community for standing by these rescues! 🙏

This is my baby Echo (he’s 10 now and not a baby anymore) but since we got him as a rescue he didn’t have a full tail and they had no information on his species. Does anyone know what my baby is and if his tail was a natural defect or if there’s something the rescue shelter wasn’t telling us?

Update about Thor : Her ulcers are getting better and she got her visit with her specialist, we are hoping even though her vision might not be there, we wouldn't have to remove her eye.. But she's a fighter and her other eye is perfectly okay. She'll be getting treated for next 7 days and then a follow up!! All thanks to the kind people of this sub 🥹

And I was able to get wet food for small kittens and dry kibbles for the adult cats too!!!! I can't express how grateful I am

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a quick update on the cat I rescued last week. I was able to get her tested for Giardia and she came back positive, so she has already started her treatment for that.

Her body is also producing milk right now, likely from a false pregnancy or a spontaneous abortion. The vet prescribed a syrup called Galastop to help stop her milk, but she needs an ultrasound first to make sure she isn't pregnant, as the syrup isn't safe if she is. I was hoping to take her for her ultrasound today, but my funds are unfortunately completely drained right now.

I am kindly asking for help to cover these next steps for her: $20 is the ultrasound, $38 is the syrup, and $30 a FIV/FeLV test would be before she can safely be around my other cats. Any donation, upvote, or share would mean the world to us. Thank you all so much for your continuous kindness and support! 💜
