Hi everyone,
This is Jack, a stray kitten from my local community.
Jack has been diagnosed with Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), and I’m doing everything I can to help him. He’s such a gentle, affectionate little kitten, and seeing him fight through this has been heartbreaking.
I’m a student and I don’t have a steady income. I’ve been paying for his care as much as I can, but the vet visits, tests, medications, food, and ongoing treatment are becoming more than I can manage on my own.
If you’re able to spare $1, $2, or $5, it would genuinely help Jack get the care he needs.

I know not everyone is in a position to donate, and that’s completely okay. An upvote or sharing this post would mean just as much, as it helps more people see Jack’s story.
I’ll keep everyone updated with his progress and, whenever possible, share receipts and photos so you can see exactly how every donation is being used.
Thank you for reading and for giving a little stray kitten a chance

That was our last batch of dry food for these community cats today. To keep this colony fed, we need 1 bag of dry food every month for them, which costs ₱1,600 (approx. $28 USD).

We urgently need to restock so we don't miss tomorrow's mealtime. Whether you can sponsor the whole bag or pitch in a few dollars, any amount makes a huge difference! 💙

In need of food and litter for rescued kittens under my care🙏anything helps for these babies 🥺❤️🐾

💔 Yesterday, our worst fear became reality.

Our veterinarian confirmed that we're dealing with an FHV outbreak inside our rescue.

Since yesterday alone, we've lost 7 precious cats. Right now, 4 more are confined at the veterinary clinic under close monitoring, while several others at home are also being monitored after developing symptoms.

Every phone call from the vet fills me with fear because I never know what news I'll hear next.

I keep asking myself...

Where did it all go wrong?

I disinfect every day.

I clean litter boxes six times a day.

Every new rescue goes through a strict 1–3 month quarantine before they're ever allowed to interact with our other cats.

I've always tried to be as careful as I possibly could.

Yet somehow... we're still here.

I keep wondering if there was something more I could have done. Watching them struggle to breathe, stop eating, or become too weak to stand while feeling completely helpless is breaking me.

To make everything even harder, we've lost 16 cats in just the last five days. Not all of those heartbreaking losses were caused by the FHV outbreak, but every one of them has left another hole in our hearts. It feels like we don't even have time to grieve before another emergency begins.

Every cat we lose has a name.

A story.

A life that mattered.

A life that was deeply loved.

I'll be honest...

I'm exhausted, heartbroken, and overwhelmed.

At the same time, we're also drowning in veterinary debt as we do everything we can to keep the cats who are still fighting alive. Every day brings more treatment, more medications, and more difficult decisions.

We aren't a registered shelter or organization. I'm simply an individual rescuer and stray feeder in the Philippines caring for more than 120 rescued cats, while also feeding more than 120 community cats every day.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your kind words, encouragement, and support mean more than I can express during moments like these.

Please keep our rescue family in your thoughts.

We don't want to lose anyone else. 💔🐾

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.

Hi everyone!!!  I am posting my wishlist for food items along with items to help with the floofaloofs, wet food is definitely a need here.  I also have a few other things on there that I can really use for the litter rooms and the floofaloofs in general.  I did put Amazon giftcard on there too, as if I have enough I could use it on one of the big ticket items. 

You helping me with these things helps me with vet visits, flea treatments, helping those who need cat food for a week so they can use that money for the 50 dollar TNR, helps me and Kim with our colonies, and helps me make sure that more colony floofaloofs are fixed, as I pay the 50 a cat out of my own pocket, and work still has our hours cut, I have been trying to sell my art, I have helped my neighbors clean for extra money, is am truly doing everything in my power to make sure we push in, because they deserve it.

Thank you for everything you do,  not just for myself and the floofaloofs, but for all floofaloofkind, thos innocent souls who need us most.  We will do everything in our power to ensure the safety and security of all floofers, inside, outside, colony, feral, stray, and abandoned.   I have floofafied my own home because saving floofaloofs is life.

Thank you for being the good in the world.♡

Hi and thank you for reading! I’m a foster and rescuer of cats and kittens in South FL. When I say I help all cats I mean ALL cats, if you’re friendly I’m finding you help and a home. I also help some of my colony feeder friends with their friendly cats! On top of that I bottle feed and foster URI and ringworm kittens. I take the guys all the rescues say no to basically!

So Tom was dumped in the Redlands, which is a place lowlifes abandoned pets, mainly dogs but also cats. He was approaching everyone for help and well his finder did tell me if I didn’t take him she was just going to dump him back in the Redlands! So even super full and overtired and overwhelmed I said yes. He went to a health check to get cleared for transport up north with one of our bigger rescues and this boy FAILED. He needs teeth extractions (he has an infection with puss pouring out they said) and he has a skin infection, severe enough that I’ve already gotten him a Convenia shot out of my own pocket.

They quoted me $500, which is a good deal with the amount of dental surgery this guy needs. This guy is a snuggle bug big boy, young and charming. I know it’s tough right now but if you can please donate so Tom gets his happy future. I will update you here about him! Also he’s up for adoption if you know anyone looking for a big cute lug! I will be picky as he deserves a happy ending after all he’s been through.

Another everyday day feeding the 130+ stray cats of the port…

I will speak to you today a little more personally and from the heart.

I am starting to get exhausted… I am also starting to get tired psychologically.

It has now been 13-14 years of daily effort, alone, without any substantial help, with my only support being my love for these creatures in need.

Every time I go to feed the kittens, it takes me about 3.5 to 4 hours. And if I have to look for a kitten that is lost or needs help, it can take 5 hours or more.

And yet… all these years, in heat, in cold, in rain, and even in snow, these kittens have never been left without food.

No matter what happened, no matter how difficult the day was, I knew that someone was waiting for me… that there were lives that depended on me.

And the truth is, if I didn’t have your support, I might not have been able to continue.

I’m uploading photos of the food I need to transport each time to be able to feed all these creatures:

🐾 8 kilos of dry food

🐾 24 cans of wet food

🐾 Food for the pigeons too

🐾 And I fill the three concrete containers with water 6-7 times, so that they have clean water to drink.

And all this… every day.

The need for food never stops.

The tummies get hungry again and again.

And the effort must continue

I thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who have been by our side all these years, who support this effort and who do not leave us alone.

Thanks to you I can and continue…

For those who have no one else.

For those who wait for their food every day.

For those who, without asking for anything else, give us their love and trust.

A little dry food, and μία canned food makes a difference!!

I spent the weekend drawing and coloring thank-you cards for anyone who donated to help cover our overdue veterinary expenses. I posted about it on Monday, but although the post got three comments, we didn't receive any donations, so I'm giving it another try.

The idea is to share a photo of a thank-you card featuring Queso for every donation, no matter the amount. We need help covering overdue veterinary and food expenses, and I thought this would be a fun way to show our gratitude while also showing off Queso now that he's fully recovered!

Right now, we have over $1,000 in unpaid expenses, and we need to pay them off before we can continue providing veterinary care to the cats who need it. In the meantime, everything is on hold because we have no funds left and can't keep accumulating debt.

Any support is deeply appreciated and truly makes a difference ❤️

If you donate, please send me a message or leave a comment so I can reply with a photo of your card!

Thank you all so much!

Edit: IMPORTANT ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Some people understood this to mean that I'd be mailing the cards to them. I'm very sorry for the confusion, that was my mistake for not explaining it clearly. Unfortunately, that's not something I can do, since we're in Uruguay and international shipping would be extremely expensive. Also, I wouldn't feel comfortable having so many people's personal information!

What I meant was that I'd reply with a photo of the card alongside Queso, but I should have made that much clearer.

If anyone who has already donated is disappointed because of the misunderstanding, please send me a message and I'll happily refund your donation. I can also send a close-up photo of the card by itself, without the background, if you'd like to print it or use it however you wish.

I'm sorry, and thank you all so much ❤️

Hey Reddit family!

​The kittens are officially cold-free, which is a huge relief! Their follow-up checkup and delayed vaccines are set for July 25th.

​However, because last week's vaccine money was spent treating their active colds, I'm short on funds for their upcoming visit. On top of that, my cat who returned in December after 3 months missing still has a stubborn cold that won't go away. He’s joining the kittens at the vet on the 25th so we can figure out a better treatment plan.

Funds needed:

Vaccine for 2 kittens: $28 or Php1600

Blood test: $48 or Php2800

Check-up: $6 or Php350

Hi everyone. I've been doing my best to feed my kitties that were left behind by previous tenants that weren't taking care of them. If anyone could help we would be so thankful thank you 😊

A few days ago, we rescued Copper, a tiny community kitten who was a victim of a hit-and-run.

When we found him, he was lying helpless on the side of a busy road, unable to stand. We rushed him to the emergency veterinarian, terrified that his injuries would be too severe to survive.

Today, we're grateful to share that Copper is finally home. ❤️

Before anything else, thank you to everyone who donated, shared his story, prayed for him, and left kind words. Your compassion gave Copper the chance he deserved, and we will never forget that.

We also have some good news.

Copper can now poop on his own, which is a huge step forward after everything he has been through.

But his fight isn't over.

Although the X-rays showed no fractures, the hit-and-run caused severe trauma. His hind legs are still paralyzed, and he still can't pee on his own. We have to manually express his bladder every day, and the veterinarian cannot tell us how long his recovery will take. Right now, all we can do is keep caring for him and hope his body continues to heal.

He's eating well, resting comfortably, and proving every day that he's a little fighter.

We're still in need of help.

We're hoping someone might be able to donate small-sized pee pads, since diapers aren't suitable for him yet.

We're also hoping for kitten wet food, not only for Copper but also for the rescued sick kittens in our care who depend on soft, nutritious food while recovering.

If you'd like to support Copper's recovery, our paypal is here: 💙 PayPal: https://Paypal.me/dlr1109 Please indicate "Copper" when sending your support so we can make sure it goes directly toward his care.

If you're unable to donate, an upvote, comment, or share can help his story reach more people. Sometimes that's all it takes for the right person to see a post and change a life.

Thank you for giving Copper hope.

We all dream of the day we can share a video of him standing and walking again. Until then, we'll keep fighting beside him. 🐾❤️

Hi everyone.

Our Birthday TNVR mission for the community cats of Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Philippines is only 3 days away.

We are still raising funds to help as many community cats as possible receive spay/neuter surgery.

Every donation goes directly toward TNVR and veterinary care. If we raise more, we can help more cats.

If donating isn't possible, sharing this post is already a huge help.

Thank you for supporting community cats. ❤️🐾

Good day, everyone!

I am a solo animal rescuer based in Manila, Philippines. Before taking in Susie, I was already caring for 37 rescued cats, as well as more than 40 stray cats in our area. I also doTNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) whenever I can and visit other areas to feed stray animals, do TNR and rescue animals whenever needed.

Meet Susie. She is a 3-year-old cat who was surrendered to me by her owner, who is currently pregnant and expecting to give birth next month.

Her owner said that she can no longer take care of Susie and cannot afford to bring her to the vet. Sadly, no one wanted to adopt Susie because she has a tumor in her ear.

I didn't hesitate to accept Susie when I saw her condition. I knew she needed help, and I couldn't turn her away.

I was able to bring Susie to the vet, where she was thoroughly examined and underwent CBC and BloodChem tests. She was diagnosed with an auricular mass in her right ear.

According to the vet, Susie needs lumpectomy (tumor removal surgery) and a mass biopsy as soon as possible. The tumor is very sensitive and bleeds easily, causing her severe pain and discomfort. The vet also said that the mass could possibly be cancerous, which is why the biopsy is very important.

I am humbly asking for everyone's help to give Susie the tumor removal surgery she desperately needs. She deserves a healthier, longer, and pain-free life. She also deserves a loving and responsible forever home—someone who will never give up on her.

Please see the estimated medical expenses (photo 9):

• Pre-surgery blood tests – $38
• 1-day confinement – $33
• Tumor removal surgery – $82
• Take-home medication – $16
• Biopsy – $41
• Antibiotic shot – $10

Total: $220

Any amount you can send will be very much appreciated. I'll definitely post an update with photos and receipt. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm Elena from Cats of Sta. Rosa, a one-woman TNVR volunteer in the Philippines.

Our July 25 TNVR mission is only two days away, and I'm doing everything I can to help as many community cats as possible.

My priority is to have more female cats spayed to help reduce the number of kittens born on the streets. Every female cat we can sterilize makes a huge difference for the future of our colony.

If anyone would like to support our mission, here's our fundraiser:

Thank you so much for caring about community cats. 💙🐾

Hello friends, just providing an update on my stray Mommakitten and her 4 grey babies, they’ve now been alive for 100 days!

I’ve worked out that I need 23 lbs. of kitten kibble per month to feed this little family of 5…I made a graphic showing everything I need and I’ll put it in the photos. I have a few different wishlists going right now, a few each on Amazon and Walmart, but I’m trying to compile everything and get it sorted. The links in my bio here are usually up to date, just fyi.

I got a voucher from my county so I can get Mommakitten spayed, which is good because I’m pretty sure she’s going into heat right now. She’s been so rude to her babies the past few days…and I still have 1 unneutered male cat from the last litter…so I’ve been keeping them separated and they aren’t thrilled about it.

Oh well…we don’t need more kittens.

I just need a $20 deposit per appointment and I can take 2 cats at a time. Then spays cost a bit more than neuters so I expect to owe somewhere between $50-$100 to the vet. If you’d like to donate to that fund, the best place would be my PayPal pool link in my bio. Please don’t feel obligated!

Every kitten is doing great, by the way. Once they’re all fixed and vaccinated, they’ll be ready to find their forever homes.

Update on Chico ❤️

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who commented, donated, shared my post, or simply wished Chico well. Your support has meant the world to me.

Today Chico had his veterinary appointment! I left the vet invoice in the photos for anyone who would like to see it.

The good news is:

- ❤️ He's a boy!

- ✅ FIV negative

- ✅ FeLV negative

- 💉 He has already received his first vaccine.

He still needs to go back to the vet for a feline coronavirus test, along with the rest of his follow-up care, but today's news was a huge relief.

Thank you again to everyone who has helped us so far. Every bit of support is making a real difference in giving Chico the healthy start he deserves.
