URGENT — Please help me save these cats from being poisoned (Gulistan-e-Johar)
I live in Gulistan-e-Johar in an apartment building, and for a long time I’ve been feeding a small group of stray cats that live around the stairs/roof of our building.
There is a mother cat who is almost 2 years old and her three kittens, around 4–5 months old. I’ve been taking care of them, feeding them regularly, and they are very friendly and comfortable around humans. They are not vaccinated, but they are healthy, friendly, and used to people.
For the past two weeks, one of my neighbor’s has been extremely irritated by them. He has repeatedly told my parents that we should keep the cats inside our apartment or get rid of them.
The problem is that we genuinely cannot keep them permanently inside our home. My brother, mother and father are allergic to cats and experience breathing and skin problems around them. I do bring the cats inside sometimes and spend time with them, but keeping them inside permanently is medically difficult for my family.
My family itself has no problem with the cats being around. The issue is this neighbour.
Unfortunately, things have now escalated to the point where he has threatened to kill/poison the cats if they are not removed. I am extremely worried because these cats are completely dependent on me for food and I have become very attached to them. I really don’t want something to happen to them simply because I cannot keep them inside my apartment.
I urgently need help with:
Adoption — ideally someone who can adopt all of them ( I don’t want them to be separated 🥺🥺)
A safe foster home while permanent homes are found.
A legitimate animal shelter/rescue organisation that can take them.
Or anyone experienced with stray/community cats who can help me find a safe solution.
They sometimes stay on the roof and sometimes wander outside the flats, but they always come back because they are used to being fed here.

If you can adopt, foster, help with transport, connect me with a reliable rescue/shelter, or know someone who can help, please comment below or DM me. I will respond to everyone I can.
I just want to get these cats somewhere safe before the situation gets worse. 🙁🙁
Please upvote/share if you’re in Karachi — even if you cannot adopt, someone else might be able to help.
