"A Plea for Hope from Laayoune Southern Morocco: Help Us Save These Kittens After Losing Their Mothers

Hi everyone

My sister and I decided to step in and take full responsibility for these little souls. Sadly, their mothers both passed away in a tragic car accident, leaving them vulnerable. We have made the decision to take them in and provide them with all the care, love, and protection they need.

For a long period, we have been following a strict care and feeding protocol, ensuring they get the attention they deserve. It is a tough time, but seeing them thrive makes every moment of effort and worry worth it. Never give up on them; with care and patience, they can heal and grow.

We are doing this work entirely by ourselves, but the medical and care costs are challenging. We still haven't collected enough funds to cover their needs and any potential vet bills. So far, we have only raised $170 out of our $650 goal.

If you are able to help, please consider donating or sharing our post to help us reach more people. Every contribution makes a huge difference for these kittens here in Laayoune.

From near death to full recovery in Laayoune, Southern Morocco: A story of love and dedication.

​I wanted to share this journey with you all. A while ago, this little one was in a critical condition and almost lost his life because he was unable to eat or care for himself.

​My sister and I decided to step in and take full responsibility for his care. For a long period, we followed a strict medication protocol and had to hand-feed him ourselves every single day because he was too weak to eat on his own.

​It was a tough time, but seeing him fully recovered today makes every moment of effort and worry worth it. Never give up on them; with care and patience, they can heal.

The reality of street animal welfare in Laayoune, Southern Morocco: A daily struggle for survival

I wanted to share a glimpse into the reality of the work we are doing in Laayoune. Many people see street cats and overlook the silent suffering they endure daily.

Right now, we are facing a very difficult situation. We have rescued several cats that are suffering from severe illnesses and heavy tick infestations. It is heartbreaking to see them so weak, with parasites feeding on them, struggling just to breathe and survive.

The process of treating them is exhausting—not just physically, but emotionally. We are working closely with local vets to provide care, but the sheer volume of cases that need urgent intervention is overwhelming.

This post isn't for anything other than to highlight that these animals deserve a chance. If you are an animal lover, just know that your awareness of these issues in different parts of the world makes a difference. If anyone has experience or tips on managing large-scale tick infestations in stray colonies in arid climates, I would love to hear your insights in the comments.

Thank you for taking a moment to read about their struggle.

Laayoune, Southern Morocco (Western Sahara): A heartbreaking story of a cat who just regained his freedom

I wanted to share with you the story of this cat. He had just recovered from Calicivirus and was so happy to be out of the shelter. Tragically, as soon as he got out, he started running, and sadly, he was hit by a car. His condition is critical; he has internal bleeding, and his organs have pushed into his diaphragm. He cannot eat or drink, his breathing is very difficult, and he desperately needs emergency surgery. I am not asking for anything but your prayers for his speedy recovery. My heart is breaking for him

Mogatil (Fighter)’s Recovery Journey: A Positive Update from Laayoune, Southern Morocco

I wanted to share some positive news about Mogatil (Fighter). Thankfully, his condition is steadily improving, and he is currently receiving the necessary care under the supervision of the veterinarian in Laayoune, southern Morocco.

Mogatil (Fighter) is doing much better than before. He is recovering, as he has started to stand and move on his own, regained his appetite, and is now eating, drinking, and defecating independently.

Despite this noticeable improvement, Mogatil (Fighter) still urgently requires a surgical procedure to be performed by a specialist veterinarian, as the advanced equipment needed for such delicate cases is not available in our city, Laayoune. We are in the process of coordinating his referral to a specialized clinic to ensure he receives the best possible care so he can return to full health, God willing.

We appreciate your continued support and interest in his recovery journey

Devastated and looking for help (Laayoune, Morocco): Are there non-surgical recovery options for a cat with multiple pelvic fractures

I am reaching out to this community with a heavy heart, seeking advice regarding a stray cat I rescued. I am doing everything in my power to help him, but his condition is extremely challenging and complex.

Current Situation:

Following X-rays, the vet confirmed that the cat has multiple, displaced pelvic fractures. The vet advised that surgical intervention (plating or screws) is not a viable option for this specific case. We are currently pursuing a conservative treatment plan involving medication and calcium supplements, hoping for natural bone healing over the next 20 days.

Key Challenges:

Mobility: While he has a good appetite, he remains completely unable to stand or walk due to the severity of the fractures.

Pressure Sores: Due to being bedridden, he has developed painful pressure sores. We are cleaning these wounds daily under veterinary supervision.

Incontinence: He currently has no control over his bowel movements. While he initially suffered from diarrhea, his stool has recently become more formed. This requires constant cleaning and meticulous care.

My Questions to the Community:

Has anyone here dealt with similar complex pelvic fractures in cats? Is there a realistic chance of recovery through conservative treatment alone?

The vet mentioned that if there is no significant improvement after these 20 days, euthanasia might be the only humane option. Is euthanasia truly the only path, or are there specialized surgical options or alternative treatments that could give him a chance at a quality life?

I am devastated by this situation and want to ensure I am making the right decision for his well-being. Any insights, personal experiences, or guidance you can provide would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your kindness and support

Simba’s Miraculous Recovery: A True "Angel's Touch" in Laâyoune, Southern Morocco

When we first found Simba, his life was hanging by a thread. He was suffering from a severe case of Calicivirus, leaving him with painful mouth ulcers that made it impossible for him to eat or even breathe comfortably. Seeing him in such distress was truly heartbreaking.

But Simba is a fighter, and he needed a miracle.

Thanks to the "Angel's Touch"—your generous support—we were able to provide him with the intensive, round-the-clock medical care he desperately needed. We held his paw through every step of his recovery, and slowly but surely, the sores healed, his energy returned, and his spirit shone through once again.

Today, Simba is a completely different cat—healthy, happy, and full of life!

This transformation is the direct result of your compassion. Your support didn't just pay for medicine; it saved a life. While Simba’s journey to recovery is a huge success, there are many more animals still waiting for a second chance.

Please continue to support our mission to be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Every contribution helps turn another story of despair into a story of hope.

With deep gratitude,

Urgent: Paralyzed stray cat in Laâyoune needs help. Vet care is $7/day + $80 fee. $47/$450 raised, remaining for X-rays & meds. Can't walk or soil on his own

​Hello everyone,

​I have recently rescued a stray cat in critical condition here in Laâyoune (Southern Morocco / Western Sahara) that urgently needs medical intervention. The mods have kindly approved this post specifically for this case so we can get an accurate diagnosis.

​The cat’s condition is very difficult: he is currently paralyzed, cannot walk, and soils himself (defecates in place). He has been staying at the vet clinic for a week now, and Dr. Fatiha is doing incredible work to care for him every single day.

​Here are the daily care details and costs breakdown:

​Daily Vet Care ($7/day): Because he cannot move, the vet has to hand-feed him every day. She washes him entirely, dries him with a hairdryer to keep him clean, and administers daily injections for his muscles and nerves.

​Vet's Service Fee: $80 for her professional care and dedication throughout this week.

​The Remaining Funds: Will go directly towards the required X-rays (to check his spine/pelvis fracture) and his essential medications.

​Location: Laâyoune

​Total Goal: $450

​Already Raised: $47

​Remaining Amount Needed: $403

​I have attached the required verification photo featuring the cat, the vet receipts, and a handwritten note with my Reddit username and date. I am fully committed to prioritizing this cat’s welfare and will keep working closely with the vet to ensure he is free from suffering.

​Every little bit helps us cover these daily vet costs and get the necessary X-rays. Thank you so much for your kind support and generosity!

Urgent: Just rescued this sweet kitten in Laayoune (Western Sahara / Southern Morocco) with a severe tail injury, limping, and ear mange. Needing advice. 🐾💔

​Hi everyone,

​We just took in this fragile little kitten from the streets, and she is in really rough shape. She is facing multiple health issues all at once, and we are doing our absolute best to start her treatment immediately.

​Here is what we are dealing with:

​Severe Tail Injury & Limping: Her tail is completely raw, wounded, and missing fur. She is also limping on one of her hind legs. We are worried the injury might be from a car accident or an attack, which could mean nerve damage or a fractured pelvis.

​Ear Mange & Infection: Her ears are heavily crusted and filled with wax/mange inside, which is causing her a lot of discomfort.

​What we are doing right now:

We have started cleaning her wounds gently with a safe antiseptic solution and are cleaning her ears carefully. We are also preparing to get her the specific ointments and medications she needs, including an upcoming vet assessment to see if her tail will require amputation to prevent gangrene, and to get X-rays for her leg.

​She is isolated in a warm, clean space right now. Despite the pain, she is being such a brave little fighter.

​Has anyone dealt with a combined tail/leg injury like this in a kitten this small? Any advice on handling severe ear mange during wound recovery would be highly appreciated.

​Thank you for your support and kind thoughts. We will keep you updated on her journey. 🙏❤️

Heartbreaking yet beautiful in Laayoune, South Morocco: A brave mother cat refuses to leave her injured kitten's side after a car accident. Help us reach our $350 medical goal ($47 raised so far) 🙏🐾

Hi everyone

Today, I witnessed a deeply moving moment of pure motherly love. I found a poor kitten on the street, injured from a car accident, and wanted to take it to rescue and care for it. However, its mother refused to leave its side. Every time I tried to get close to help, she would rush over, gently pick up her baby, and carry it away to hide safely under a car. It is truly amazing to see how much mercy, bravery, and protective instinct exist in a mother’s heart. Motherhood is a universal language that doesn't change, whether for humans or animals.

So far, we have raised $47 out of the $350 needed for the injured kitten's medical treatment.

From Heartbreak to a Mission: I buried my best street cat friend today, and I promise to never give up on building a safe haven for them.

Today, my heart is completely shattered. My favorite street cat, the brave soul who chose my doorstep as his home and was always there to comfort me when I was down, was hit by a speeding car and passed away.

I had to bury him today with my own hands, my eyes full of tears and my heart heavy with grief. Holding his gentle body for the last time broke something inside me, but it also ignited a fierce determination.

I am sharing his pictures here to honor his memory. He wasn't just a stray; he was my best friend.

Through this pain, I am making a solemn promise to him and to every helpless soul struggling on the streets: I will not give up. I will work harder than ever to achieve my ultimate dream—to build the biggest and safest shelter for stray cats, so they never have to face the dangers of the roads or the cruelty of the streets again.

Rest in peace, my little friend. Your legacy will save thousands of lives. 🐾💔

[HELP] Urgent: Hit-and-run rescue cat in Laayoune, South of Morocco needs life-saving surgery ($350 goal)

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out from Laayoune, in the South of Morocco (Moroccan Sahara), to share an urgent rescue case. This cat was recently a victim of a hit-and-run accident. He was struck by a car and is currently unable to move, suffering from internal bleeding in the blood vessels and stomach.

The veterinarian at "Cabinet Vétérinaire SAHARA" has ordered immediate X-rays to explore the cause of hindquarter paresis and swelling. The total medical costs, combined with a previous balance, amount to $350. Additionally, he requires specialized care and boarding at the clinic which costs $7 per day.

This cat appears to be a lost house pet and deserves a second chance at life. I am currently struggling to manage these costs alone.

Street life is incredibly harsh for kittens in Laayoune, Morocco. My dream is to give them a safe home

I wanted to share these beautiful souls I found in the streets of Laayoune, Southern Morocco. While they look adorable, their reality is heartbreaking. They struggle daily with hunger, the danger of traffic, and diseases that go untreated.

My sister and I have been doing our best to rescue and care for as many as we can as independent rescuers. It has always been my dream to establish a professional sanctuary called "Angel's Touch" right here in our region. I want to implement the same high standards of animal welfare seen in Europe and the US, providing these cats with a life free from pain and fear.

I truly believe that every life matters and that with patience and healing, even the weakest kitten can thrive. I won't give up on this dream until every street cat in Laayoune has a safe place to call home.

I would love to hear any advice or words of encouragement from this amazing community as we work towards making this shelter a reality

Update from Laayoune, Southern Morocco: Fighting Calicivirus and dreaming of building a safe haven for these souls

Hey everyone! Greetings from Laayoune, Southern Morocco.

I wanted to share a progress update on this little warrior battling Feline Calicivirus. It’s been a tough fight, but my sister and I are dedicated to his recovery, treating him 3 times a day (morning, evening, and night). As you can see, he is doing much better now!

Caring for him is part of a bigger dream: I hope to one day establish a formal animal shelter here in Laayoune. Currently, we do our best as independent rescuers, but a dedicated sanctuary is what these street cats truly need.

He still has some healing to do, but he’s getting stronger every day. Once he is 100% recovered, I will post a final update to show you his full transformation.

Thank you for following our journey! 🐾
