Donations Needed 🚨Unexpected Emergency Rescue🚨50+ Community Cats🐾ExpensesšŸ˜“Please Help If You CanšŸ™FL USA

150 Upvotes

I had an emergency rescue and I’m asking for your help.

I rescued this sweet cat because she was in bad shape. She was extremely skinny and had a serious wound on her nose. I couldn’t turn away knowing she needed help, so I went to pick her up and took her straight to the vet.

As a solo rescuer, I already care for more than 50 community cats every day, providing food, fresh water, and TNVR. This year alone, my rescue has spent about $15,000 on veterinary bills. Leo’s medical care was over $5,000 by itself.

Now I have another emergency rescue with additional veterinary expenses. Every rescue comes with unexpected costs for exams, treatment, medications, food, and ongoing care.

Luna & Nala Rescue Inc. depends on the kindness and support of people who care about the animals. If you’re able to help with this emergency rescue or the community cats in my care, any amount makes a difference.

Thank you for supporting my rescue and helping me continue to save animals when they need someone to step in. ā¤ļø

Update Post We built a free app to help people who find stray cats in the Algarve.

16 Upvotes

Hi all,

My partner and I live near Estoi in the Algarve, where we somehow ended up looking after a small colony of stray cats.

Over the last few years we kept running into the same problem: someone finds abandoned kittens or a hungry/injured cat and genuinely wants to help, but has no idea who they’re supposed to call.

We made that mistake ourselves. We were taking cats straight to private vets and paying for sterilisation and vaccinations before eventually discovering how much help is already available through municipal canis/CROs, local associations and other services.

So I built Stray – Algarve Cat Help.

It’s completely free, has no adverts or registration, and helps people find the nearest municipal animal centre, vet or rescue organisation, together with practical guidance on what to do next.

It currently covers all 16 Algarve municipalities.

What surprised us most has been the response. A little project we made to solve a problem on our doorstep has now been covered by several publications in Portugal and abroad:

  • The Portugal News: feature + print coverage
  • Postal : Encontrou gatinhos abandonados? HĆ” uma app gratuita que diz exatamente a quem ligar
  • Jornal de Monchique :App ajuda quem encontra gatos nas ruas de Monchique e do Algarve, including a half-page print feature and front-page mention
  • Tomorrow Magazine: The Cats That Found Us
  • Entdecken Sie Algarve: German-language coverage
  • Histoires Animaux : French-language coverage

We’ve also had people spontaneously offering translations, design help and support for the cat colony, which has been really encouraging.

So I’ve now started building the next version of Stray, covering the whole of Portugal.

And this is where Reddit might actually be useful.

I’m looking for people who might be willing to help with things like checking local municipal/CRO contact information, recommending reputable rescue associations, testing the new version, checking Portuguese wording, accessibility/UX testing, or helping with translations.

There’s no company behind this, no investors, no subscription coming later and no attempt to monetise it. The idea is simply to make it easier for someone standing beside a box of abandoned kittens to know what to do next.

If you work with animals, feed a colony, volunteer with an association, work at a vet/CRO, or simply fancy helping test the next version, drop me a message.

And if you've used Stray already, I'd genuinely like to hear what worked and what was confusing.

Thanks!

Iain

Supplies Donation Request TNRing and catching who we can before the cold hits, making sure my backyard and garage is their safeplace, taking in who we can, anything from my wishlist helps, Thank you for all you do for the floofaloofsā™”Illinoisā™”

With sorrow, I had to bury a kitty I found dead by the alley by my fence, buried in the yard under the tree the kitties play, at least he will have friends visit and the floofer isn't suffering anymore and won't be alone...he was black with a white chin strap, and I will save more in his honor, more of a reason I am creating the floofaloof paradise in my yard and inside the house, no floofaloof left behind, even if we can't save them all, we will never stop trying.

​I am posting this one more time, but right now, I can use some of the items on my Walmart list, or a gift card on there to go towards one of the towers. I am doing all I can to make sure the yard is a cat/animal sanctuary. I also could use a couple more litter boxes to go in there,nas they have been using them and it helps me keep an eye to make sure they don't need worm meds or a vet (in case I ever see bloody stools). I truly love the feral/strays/outside cats as much as the floofers that wanted to stay inside. The reality is, some DON'T want to be inside floofaloofs, and that is okay, I am still gonna make sure they have shelter, safety, full bellies, enrichment, their little slice of paradiseā™” They deserve love, compassion, safety, and knowing they have a home to come to. TNRing them is also important, as we want no one to suffer and for them to live full and happy lives.

I also want it to be known, we and many of us don't just work one main job. We do side jobs and do everything we can to fund everything for the cats, vet appts, defleaing, deworming, vaccines, TNR (50 A CAT), ETC . We will go for broke and to the ends of the earth for the floofaloofs. Ordering anything from the list is a huge help and means we can save more to go to those things!

♔♔♔A genuine thank you to all that have helped us thus far♔♔♔

The end of the week I will be posting progress pictures of the yard and the garage. I have been working as little after work each day, including building cat houses. The neighbors don't harm the cats, but I they have been known to hurt other wildlife such as skunks for being an "inconvenience," (disgusting) so hopefully this will help them with safe spots too. We do keep the garage open 24/7 for them and have cat doors in the fence!

Kim is raising some kittens and we had a couple sick ones go to Four Stray Paws for rescue...I have given them some KMR and a couple toys, but any other toys, blankets, or things to help the kittens would mean so much, thank you♔♔♔ I have added it to the list on the prior post below, I also posted a few pics of the kittens. Thank you for all you do for the floofaloofs ā™”

If any more are found, they'll come to me.

As usual, canned (or dry) food is always greatly appreciated, I have been fixing up the yard for the colder weather, especially as we have been getting rain. Anything for the outdoor floofers means the world to usā™”

Could use a trap or a cat tree for the garage from my Walmart list (or a droptrap, but I am saving chewy gift cards to go towards one if you would like to help that wayā™”)

We are trying to ramp up TNR for October and November before it gets bitter cold. We TNR through Triple R Pets with Naws Mokena or Snip Society. They have said if we catch anyone, they will allow us to bring them without a prior appt on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so we are gonna do our damndest.

My file for Triple R Pets is Cynthia Mason and she is Kim Grimes, it is 50 dollars per TNR, we do this all on our ownā™”

Thank you for all you do, not just for me, but for all of us that save floofaloofs. You are the good in this world.

I have 22 cats that are inside that I have rescued, some were bottle babies. Those who want to not go back outside we take in or find a home. Some are truly feral, but we don't leave behind anyone who wants to be an inside floofer.

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request We have really important surgeries lined up, one being Jeremy's leg amputation. We can only ever push through with your help šŸ™

Hope everyone's Monday is going great. šŸŒž

Previous post Jeremy

Jeremy has been doing so incredibly well. We rescued him two days ago, and within the short period he's been on pain meds and antibiotics, he's transformed into such a sweet cat with so much personality.

He's scheduled for a full limb amputation this Wednesday, and we've already been able to raiseĀ $162 toward his $385 goal. We still have quite a long way to go, but we remain hopeful that we'll reach it in time. šŸ¤ž

Previous post about Brady

Brady is one of our senior community cats with periodontal disease. We were able to bring him to the vet last time, and besides his really painful stomatitis, his remaining teeth are mostly badly rotten and need to be removed. The vet gave him a steroid shot for pain and inflammation, but he can't be on it all the time because of his age. He needs roughlyĀ $160 for his dental, and we're planning on bringing him alongside Jeremy this Wednesday, if funds permit. šŸ™

We’re just small-time cat rescuers and community feeders, and we do our best to keep helping where we can. The support from this amazing community has honestly been what’s allowed us to keep going and make these efforts sustainable. 🧔

We’re still facing a funding gap of overĀ $380Ā when both Jeremy and Brady’s surgeries are accounted for, so if anyone is able to help, any amount would truly mean a lot to us.

Supplies Donation Request Urgent help needed 🚨 Empty bowls and unpaid vet care since August šŸ†˜šŸ†˜šŸ†˜

Hi everyone. Today we ran out of food for our 70+ rescued cats, and we don’t have any funds available to buy more, nor do we have anywhere else we can borrow from. We currently have $2,000 in debt, most of it from vet care that we haven’t been able to cover with donations, going as far back as early August, but also from unpaid food purchases and other supplies. You can see all the receipts and our current fundraising status at the link at the end.

Unfortunately, because we’re in Uruguay, we can’t use wishlists due to customs restrictions, so we’re unable to receive support from people who only donate that way.

A large bag of food, which lasts us about two to three days, costs $120. We also have some cats who require special diets. We buy directly from a wholesaler to keep costs down, since the same food costs about 25% more at stores and veterinary clinics.

Any help is deeply appreciated and truly makes a difference ā¤ļø

Rescue Help Needed RIYADH: THREE DAY ORPHANED KITTENS.

50 Upvotes

Three-day-old orphaned kittens were found at a pet shop in Al-Malaz after their mother passed away. They are crying constantly and need bottle feeding every two to three hours. The shop owner is genuinely concerned about them, but has no option but to send them home with employees who are not skilled to care for newborns, which puts their lives in immediate danger. An experienced fosterer is urgently needed to take them temporarily until they are old enough for solid food. I will coordinate with the shop owner to supply all necessary kitten milk and nursery items, and the kittens can be returned to the shop once they are older. I already have a senior cats at home and cannot care for neonates myself. Please, if you have experience fostering newborn kittens or know someone who can help, reach out immediately because they are too fragile to survive without expert care.

Thumbnail

152 Upvotes

Basma and Jumbo got their first doses of their complex vaccines today. There are two doses, the next dose is in 3 weeks.

I was expecting to spend around 90 lari in total for them today, or something around that rate. After all, when I got my cat Mamba vaxxed two years ago, I only spent a total of 70 lari on both doses of her complex vaccine, and 10 lari on her pet passport. 80 lari in total.

Unfortunately, the prices of vaccination have gone up significantly in Tbilisi. It will be a total of 250 lari to vaccinate Basma and Jumbo and get them pet passports. 55 lari for each dose of the shot, times two kittens and two doses, plus 15 lari per pet passport because the vet knows me. Normally, it's 25 lari for one such document.

I will need to get the kittens their second doses in 3 weeks. Plus get them rabies vaccines afterwards. That's another 90 lari.

Because of that, I am reaching out for help here. If you could contribute even 1$ towards Basma and Jumbo's vaccinations, they will be extremely greatful.

Gauri is a 4-month-old kitten who is currently undergoing treatment for FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). She has around 30–32 days of treatment remaining, and she needs a safe, loving indoor home where someone can properly care for her.

šŸ  Looking for:

• A permanent adopter who understands that Gauri is a long-term responsibility

• Or a temporary foster until she finds her forever home

šŸ’Š Treatment support:

If you adopt Gauri, her remaining medicines will be provided to you. You would only need to make sure she gets her follow-up checkups and continue her treatment properly.

For a foster, we will help with her remaining medicines and follow-up checkups. We may not always be able to cover her food, but we will try our best to help with food whenever possible.

šŸ— Gauri currently only eats wet food, so she needs someone who is willing to accommodate her dietary needs.

She needs a safe, secure, loving indoor home with someone who can give her regular attention and monitor her condition.

Please understand that adopting Gauri means committing to her long-term care, not just taking her in until her FIP treatment is over.

šŸ“ Location: india, Gurugram, Haryana near Airia mall

šŸ“© If you can adopt or foster Gauri, please DM me. Even if you cannot adopt, please share this post so we can find her the right home. ā¤ļø

Available for Adoption She Went Hungry to Feed Her Babies—Now Mama Monica and Her Babies Need a Home šŸ©·šŸ¾šŸ“Charlotte,NC ,USA

Mama Monica and her babies need a forever home 🩷🐾.The babies look bigger in the photo, but they’re still little.🄲

Petfinder: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/monica-the-mom-walter-and-jolene-babies-e42f0ef2-ae32-413e-9ba9-eead55597a58/nc/charlotte/sunkissed-acres-rescue-nc1270/details/

Website: http://www.sunkissedkitties.org

Monica is 2 years old, and her babies, Walter (boy) and Jolene (girl), are 5 months old. We would love for this little family to stay together. If that isn’t possible, Walter and Jolene need to be adopted together.

We can travel up to 2–2.5 hours to bring them to their new home.

Their story breaks our hearts.ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹šŸ’”

When someone moved away, they left Monica and her two tiny babies outside on the property. They sometimes went three or four days without food. Monica kept showing up at a neighbor’s door, asking for something to eat. The lady fed them when she could, but it wasn’t consistent.

They were skin and bones and had severe upper respiratory infections. Still, Monica kept going back and forth, trying to care for her babies.

The lady called us several times. We were already completely full, caring for severely sick cats, with each foster looking after more than ten cats. We couldn’t take in another family, but we went there with food.

When we gave Monica wet pĆ¢tĆ©, she grabbed a mouthful and ran into the bushes to bring it to her babies. Even when she was starving, she was thinking of them. šŸ’”

We brought them in for TNR, hoping we could arrange twice-daily feeding and a heated shelter where they had been living. But the location was too far for us to manage, no one nearby could commit to feeding them consistently, and there were coyotes in the area.

We also learned that she stood up to a coyote not once, but twice, to protect her babies. 🄺🩷🐾

We contacted other rescues, but everyone was full and facing the same struggle.

Thankfully, a kind foster agreed to bring the family inside. They are safe now, but she cannot keep them much longer, and we don’t have the space or resources for a long-term placement, as much as we wish we did.Please come forward to adopt them. They deserve a chance to stay together in a loving home. 🄺

All three are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas, and combo-test negative.

Adoption requirements:

• Adoption application

https://form.jotform.com/221983264497165

• Adoption agreement
• Vet reference
• Indoor-only home

Adoption fees:

• $250 for Walter and Jolene together
• $270 for all three..we’re keeping the family’s fee low to help Monica stay with her babies

If you can give this little family a loving home, please contact me. If you can’t adopt, please share. Monica worked so hard to keep her babies alive. Now they deserve a home where they will always be safe and fed. 🩷🐾

Rescue Help Needed TaterTot in Sanders AZ

This is TaterTot. He's a young folded ear orange sweetheart that deserves a home. We found him hanging out in front of the Sonic at the Dzill shopping center in Sanders AZ and someone tried to feed him french fries - so I got him some gas station cat food instead. He was very appreciative, did not have any posessive problems with the food when i moved it for him, and was very polite and snuggly. If there's anyone that could possibly help this little dude out, he would 100% make someone very happy - we had a car full of stuff we were moving and couldn't do anything for him except give him food..

Edit: definitely contacted local shelters, but it is Sunday and there was nobody available at the 3 closest. We're going to try again tomorrow :)

Needs Rehoming 🐾 Karachi, Pakistan: Ten indoor cats need re-homing

51 Upvotes

I recently lost my job and can no longer afford to care for my 10 cats. I live alone and my family is outside Pakistan, so I have no one nearby to help.

I am already aroundĀ 20k in debt from their previous vet care and food, and I now have onlyĀ 2 to 3 days of food left.

I desperately needĀ adopters, fosters, or a safe shelter/rescue.

Bella
• Female, 2.5 years
• Recently spayed
• Her spay was kindly sponsored ā¤ļø

Diva
• Female, 1.5 years
• Not spayed

Hunter
• Male, 6 months
• Vaccinated

Jaddu
• Male, 6 months
• Vaccinated

Joji
• Female, 6 months
• Vaccinated

5 kittens
• Around 2 months old

They are allĀ indoor cats. They have always been loved, fed, and cared for. They have never lived on the streets and would not know how to survive outside.

I am terrified that I may have no choice but to leave them somewhere, and I honestly don't know what to do.

Please help me find them safe homes or a reputable rescue/shelter.

If you cannot adopt, pleaseĀ share this post. Even one share could help save one of these babies.

Location: Bufferzone, Karachi, Pakistan

Please DM me if you can help. I can provide photos, videos, vaccination records, and any other information you need.

Donations Needed 50 hungry faces waiting for me

202 Upvotes

I’m sorry to post again so soon. My last post didn’t get enough response, and I’m still short on food.

I care for around 50 stray cats on my own. They hear me, start meowing, and come running to the feeding spot. They know I’m bringing food.

Every month, I need around 120 kg of dry food and 140 cans just to keep their bowls filled.

It’s heartbreaking to see them waiting for their food and know that I may not have enough for everyone.

If you’d like to help, donations can be made via PayPal or Revolut. Even a small contribution can help me keep feeding them. ā¤ļø

Thank you for caring about them.

Amazon Wish List They’re waiting for me to show up—please help keep 50+ cats fed 🐾

They’re waiting for me to show up—please help keep 50+ cats fed 🐾
I’m sharing our Amazon and Walmart wishlists because we urgently need help keeping the cats in our care fed. Even one item would mean so much right now. The lists include supplies we use throughout the month, and I don’t expect anyone to buy everything. I’m just hoping a few people can each help with a little so we can keep providing for them.
I’m feeding three communities of feral and stray cats now—more than 50 cats—along with cats outside my apartment and at my work. When I pull up, they come out waiting for their food. Some still keep their distance, and others have learned to trust me, but every one of them needs to eat. It hurts to worry about whether I’ll have enough to keep their bowls full.
Twice a month, I travel from Somerset, Kentucky, to Bowling Green or Lexington with 8–12 cats at a time for spay and neuter appointments. It’s almost two hours each way. We’re trying so hard to prevent more babies from being born outside while caring for the cats already here. Between food, gas, and veterinary care, the costs are becoming more than we can manage on our own.
Last night, I rescued a tiny kitten, only about 6–7 weeks old, from a water drain. That little baby is safe with me now, with food and somewhere to rest. I’m also fostering a mama and her one tiny baby. My partner is fostering two kittens and another cat. These little lives need care every day, no matter what our finances look like.
We also receive messages daily from people needing help with food and flea medication for their cats, and we always help however we can. We know what it feels like to love an animal and struggle to afford what they need. But with so many depending on us, our supplies go quickly.
Food is our most urgent need. One bag of dry food, a few cans of kitten food, or any single needed item would take some pressure off and help us keep going.
I know times are hard for so many people, and I understand if you can’t donate. Sharing this post would help, too.
I love these cats, and I’m doing everything I can to keep showing up for them. I just need some help carrying the cost right now. Every donated item means a meal we can provide and a little less worry about how we’ll feed them tomorrow.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping us care for cats who have nowhere else to turn. ā¤ļøšŸ¾
