We have some amazing news 🥹🫶🏻

The surgery was a complete success and our little baby can already walk. We honestly cannot believe how fast this happened. It’s incredible what surgery can do for such a tiny soul 🐾

We saved a life today. We truly did. And thanks to all of you, this innocent baby is expected to make a full recovery 🤍

The vets placed metal plates in his bone and in 2 weeks they will assess whether they should stay in permanently or be removed. For now, he needs to move as little as possible while he heals. It’s so hard for such a curious little baby 🥹 We are keeping him in the cage for now and he absolutely hates it, but it’s only temporary 🙏🏻

We were so worried because he is so small. We were terrified before the surgery. But our brave little fighter made it through and is already doing so well after just 1 day. Poor baby is finally getting the happy ending he deserves 🐱✨

We honestly cannot put into words how grateful we are. Every share, every donation, every message, every person who cared, you helped save an innocent life today ❤️

Thank you for saving a lige agiving this little soul a second chance

On Saturday morning, an elderly woman called one of our volunteers and said she had found a tiny kitten in terrible condition. He couldn’t walk. She said she had no car, no money, and no way to help him herself. She said: “If you can’t take him, I’ll have to bring him to a vet to be euthanized.”

She sent a video and when we saw, our heart broke💔

This tiny baby, probably not even two months old yet, was dragging himself across dirty ground using only his front paws. His back legs were limp like little rags. He kept collapsing every few seconds. There was also a deep wound on one of his back legs.

She lived next to a vet clinic so we asked her to take him there and said we would come talk to the vet and cover the cost.

When our volunteer arrived, his injured leg had been bandaged. The vet told us both back legs were broken and that there was nothing he could do. He said that if we wanted to help him, we needed to find an orthopedic specialist.

Our volunteer took the kitten home while trying to arrange an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon in another city. Out volunteer placed him on her bed and when he saw her adult cat, he started crying and crawling toward him like he thought he had found his mother💔😢 She fed him kitten milk through a syringe because he was starving.

Nobody knows what happened to him. We suspect he climbed inside a car engine for warmth during the cold night, like many tiny kittens do here and got crushed when the car started moving. But that’s only a guess.

We knew we couldn’t leave him suffering like this.

Even though it was already Saturday afternoon and most clinics in Cyprus close early, a veterinary orthopedic clinic in another city agreed to see us and we drove there immediately. They finally took proper X-rays and confirmed that both legs were fractured.

They said they will keep him at the clinic over the weekend.

On Monday morning they called and said the orthopedic surgeon had reviewed the scans and that surgery was necessary if this baby was ever going to walk, run, and jump normally again. We agreed to the surgery. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.

But the estimated vet bill is €400 and we honestly cannot cover it alone after so many rescue cases. We still have vet bill depts. we run a small rescue organization and people constantly call us when they find injured kittens because they know we won’t say no.

We are asking from the bottom of our heart: if anyone can help even a little, it would mean everything to this tiny baby and to me.

We provide X-rays, clinic documents, updates, and proof of the surgery.

Thank you for all the love and support ❤️

Yesterday we saw this cat by accident on the street because he was making strange mouth movements, like he was trying to pull something out. He was even using his paws to help. We couldn’t walk past. We caught him and today took him to the vet.

The vet said it’s one of the worst cases of gingivitis they’ve seen. His gums are covered in wounds, his cheeks are ulcerated, even his tongue is bleeding. He is in constant pain when he eats, swallows, or even closes his mouth.

The only thing that can save him now is a full dental extraction, removing all his teeth so the inflammation and pain stop. He also needs IV to help him gain strength and poor baby has been starving.

Right now he is starving, drooling blood, and suffering silently. Despite all this, he remains gentle and lets people touch him. We truly don’t know how he survived outside like this.

Our team helps street cats whenever we can, but we cannot afford this surgery alone. Please help this boy. Any small donation matters and gets him closer to living without pain.

Please help us save him. He deserves a life without pain💔

Today we finally brought Tabby home after 19 days.

He came back with a strong appetite, noticeably healthier and full of energy like a completely different cat. Watching him eat, move and just be himself again feels unreal after everything.

For now we’re just grateful to have him back🙏🏻

We are hoping this is the start of a long, happy, healthy life for him.
