Blind, Vulnerable, and Overlooked for Years… Today, Oreo Finally Got Her Second Chance🙏50+ Community Cats & Rescued Cats Still Depend On Me Everyday😓Help Me Keep Going ❤️🙏FL USA

I rescued Oreo today, and it was an incredibly emotional day. ❤️

I left home early in the morning to rescue her. After an entire hour trying to trap her, I finally got her to safety and took her to the vet. Oreo is around 7 years old and blind. I kept thinking about how she had survived outside for so many years, unable to see the dangers around her. Honestly, I don’t even know how she made it this far. 💔

A neighbor told me that Oreo had SIX litters of kittens throughout all these years. Six litters born while she was living on the streets. People fed her, but nobody ever rescued her. It breaks my heart to think about everything this sweet girl has endured.

After her vet visit, I transported Oreo to a sanctuary where she will finally be safe. They care for many animals and have special rooms for cats with special needs. After years of living outside, Oreo finally has a chance to live in a safe environment where her needs can be met.

Oreo isn’t the only cat who needs a second chance. A kitten was rescued with neurological issues who needs special care. And three kittens who fought so hard to survive coccidia and panleukopenia will soon be going on transport to begin the next chapter of their lives. Every one of these cats has a story.

I spent my entire day making this rescue happen. After that, I still had to feed my colonies of more than 50 community cats. I finally got home at 9 p.m.

I’m exhausted, but it was worth every minute. Knowing Oreo is finally safe makes it all worthwhile.

I also want to thank the Redditor who sponsored Oreo’s vet visit. I’m incredibly grateful for this person’s kindness. And to everyone who has donated, shared my posts, or supported Luna & Nala Rescue, thank you from the bottom of my heart. None of this would be possible without you.

I do this rescue work on my own, and right now, I’m struggling. I’m running low on food, and the veterinary bills and rescue expenses have left me in debt. More than 50 community cats depend on me for food and fresh water every day, along with all the rescued cats in my care.

I wish I could do it all alone, but I can’t. These cats depend on me, and I depend on the kindness of people who believe that their lives matter.

If anyone can help, every donation helps me keep going. Sharing this post also makes a difference.

Today, Oreo’s life changed because people cared enough to help. After years of being overlooked, this blind girl finally has a safe place to call home.

There are so many more cats still waiting for their chance. I will keep doing everything I can for them, but I truly need your help to continue.

Thank you for helping Luna & Nala Rescue give cats like Oreo the second chance they deserve. ❤️🐾

Emergency help for a colony cat: Kittens died inside her womb, need help to pay her c-section invoice

Hello everyone,

I deeply apologize for asking for help so frequently lately. This season is incredibly tough here in Morocco as we are facing a severe wave of Feline Coronavirus. Many of my cats are falling sick all at once, putting immense veterinary and financial pressure on me.

I care for a colony of community cats. Recently, I found one of the pregnant colony cats I usually feed bleeding heavily on the street. She had given birth to some stillborn kittens on the pavement, and the rest unfortunately passed away inside her womb. To save her life from infection, I rushed her to the clinic for an immediate emergency c-section surgery.

I have attached her official vet invoice here. The surgery cost alone is 1,200 MAD (around $130 USD), which doesn't include her initial check-up and X-rays. She is currently safe and will stay inside a recovery cage/colony setup until she is completely healed and doing well after the surgery.

With so many other critical cases in my care, I am completely unable to cover this bill alone. Any help to clear this invoice would mean the world to us. Thank you so much for your support. God bless you.

[Update] on Luna for everyone who has supported her so far. Her reports are back, and we’re really Worried

You might remember Luna. ❤️ I’ve posted multiple times in this subreddit about her condition, treatment, and our fundraising journey. Many of you have been following her fight against Feline Hemotropic Mycoplasmosis (Mycoplasma haemofelis) and have helped us through some incredibly difficult days.

I'm back with another update, and unfortunately, the news isn't good.

💔 Her Latest Blood Reports

After completing 35 days of doxycycline treatment, we stopped doxycycline as advised by her vet. The very next day, her lymph nodes became severely swollen. We contacted the vet and were told that she had a severe infection.

Luna has also been experiencing severe anemia, laboured breathing, and problems with one of her back legs. She sometimes struggles to sit properly.

We arranged blood tests through AHPL Kolkata because we wanted accurate results to understand what was happening to her.

Her reports are finally here, and her condition is very concerning.

Her kidney profile is severely disturbed, and she is severely anemic. She is also still low-positive for Mycoplasma.

⭕Next step for her -

The doctor suggested a blood transfusion because of her severe anemia. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to arrange one in Kolkata, as transfusions for small cats are considered particularly risky and suitable facilities are difficult to find.

Her anemia is so severe that she is experiencing breathing difficulties. We have even bought an oxygen pump to help support her breathing.

The doctor has advised us to stabilize Luna first before proceeding with further treatment. Depending on her condition and response, the next steps may include iron injections and second-line treatment if needed for the persistent Mycoplasma infection.

For now, we are continuing her prescribed treatment and doing everything we can to keep her stable.

❤️ Thank You for Standing With Luna

I honestly don't know how to express how grateful.

The support from subreddit has helped us continue her treatment for so long. Without the kindness, we wouldn't have been able to afford many of her consultations, medicines, injections, and tests.

I will keep updating everyone about her condition and further treatment as we learn more.

Colony cat help

🐾❤️ I’m asking for a little help keeping a few feral, TNR’d kitties warm and safe this winter and im almost completely out of food. I’m hoping to get them outdoor winter shelters, some food and a few basic supplies, but I can’t afford everything on my own right now. If anyone is able to help with even one item from my Amazon wishlist, it would mean so much. Every little bit helps these sweet babies stay warm. ❤️🐱 Amazon Wishlist:

♡Any Cat Food from my wishlist would be of HUGE HELP and mean the world, thank you for helping the floofaloofs in need and the Colony Floofers♡

​

Going to keep it short, any FOOD items would be of HUGE help, please and thank you for all you do for Floofaloofkind ♡♡♡ And thank you for caring about us TNRing colonies, all floofers deserve love, safety, a safe space, and yumyums♡  You have helped so many colonies, so many cats who now have homes, those who were able to make sure they had money so their cats they took in are fixed because of food donations. 

I am working on winterizing the yard and making sure their sanctuary is secure, warm, safe, comfy womfy, and that they don't have to worry about food.  I have seen the way people treat skunks and other wildlife, and I will NOT let anyone harm any floofaloof on my watch.

We will always do it for the floofaloofs♡

Urgent: Running out of medication for Yuri. Danger of relapse.

Yuri has had seizures, cloudyness in her eyes, anemia and so much more. She's doing so much better now, and seeing her recover after everything she's been through honestly means the world to me. After all the setbacks, the hospital visits, the seizures and the constant fear of losing her, seeing her improve has been such a relief.

But I'm also incredibly distraught right now.

Her current vial is almost finished, and I need around 16,000 INR for the next supply of Basmi capsules (switching because she's doing much better and the vet advised to), along with another 9,000 INR for supportive care, medication and recovery food.

As of now I am desperately in need of 8000 INR to order the Capsules.

I'm a student and I genuinely don't know how I'm going to manage these expenses anymore. I've already tried everything I can within my means, and it's heartbreaking to see her finally doing better while worrying about whether I can afford to continue her treatment.

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped Yuri and stood by us so far. I genuinely wouldn't have made it this far without your kindness.

KITTEN SUPPLIES would be of HUGE HELP, also anything food supplies, thank you for EVERYTHING you do for the floofaloofs.*Who needs sleep when there are floofers to TNR?!* ♡Illinois♡

​

***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 ♡***

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 us♡

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 to the ends of the earth for the floofaloofs. Ordering anything from thrblist is a huge help and means we can save more to go to those things!

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 way♡)

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 own♡

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.

🚨An Unexpected Rescue😓Please Help If You Can🙏FL USA

I’m approved in r/rescuecats for verification

Someone reached out to me today asking for help with this cat. No one was stepping up for her, so I went to pick her up right away.

She has a wound on her nose and is bleeding. She is extremely skinny and in terrible shape, so I brought her straight to the vet for immediate medical attention.

Any help to my rescue is truly appreciated. I already have so many ongoing rescue expenses, but she needed help, and I couldn’t leave her behind.

Orry is a male kitten who was found at my doorstep, hungry, scared, and completely alone. He is around 5 months old, dewormed, very friendly, playful and now safe and loved. I am reaching out for help because I am already caring for five cats and am not in a position to manage the expenses of his vaccination and neutering.

After neutering, Orry will be adopted into a loving home. If someone wishes to adopt him, they can also vaccinate and neuter him before physical adoption.
