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. ❤️🐾

**His mother fought the dogs to save her baby’s life… and now we have to fight for him too. 💔**
This tiny baby survived a brutal dog attack, but he has suffered serious internal injuries and a **large, badly infected wound that has developed gangrene.** 😭
We tried our best to find his mother and bring her to him, but sadly, we couldn’t find her. 💔 We can only hope she is safe and that somehow, she knows her baby is being cared for.
He urgently needs **surgery, wound treatment, antibiotics, and intensive care** to give him a chance to survive. ❤️‍🩹
Thankfully, he is still eating, and that gives us hope. 🥺 We refuse to give up on this precious little soul.
**Please help us get him the urgent surgery he needs. 🙏**
Even a small contribution can help us save his life. ❤️

Hey everyone!

This will be a 2 part post because we have something big we are working on next!

(DONATION LINKS WILL BE IN THE COMMENTS)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❤️ PART 1: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!

First, I owe everyone an update and a HUGE thank-you!

I haven't posted since last Saturday, and I apologize for disappearing! Work has been absolutely insane lately. I'm currently working mandatory 68–72 hour weeks, and by the time I get home, I'm usually running on fumes. 😅

But while I've been buried in work, YOU AMAZING PEOPLE HAVE HELPED RAISE $350! ❤️

Our original goal was to raise $450, which would be matched dollar-for-dollar, giving us $900 for desperately needed cat food and litter.

I was planning to personally cover the remaining $100, but I've decided to do something even better!

I'm increasing our fundraising goal by another $150!

That means we still have $250 in matching donations available, and if we reach that goal, we'll have raised an incredible $1,100 TOTAL! 🎉

More food, more litter, and a little more breathing room for the nearly 200 cats depending on us!

I also wanted to make up for the week I haven't been able to give this fundraiser the attention it deserves.

To everyone who has donated, shared, commented, or simply cheered us on, THANK YOU!

Rescue can be exhausting, overwhelming, and sometimes downright heartbreaking. But knowing that when we need help, there's an entire community willing to show up for these cats? That's something I'll never take for granted.

You remind us that we're not doing this alone. ❤️

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🚗 PART 2: OUR NEXT BIG GOAL — RESCUE ON WHEELS!🐾

Wait... you can't see the rest?! 👀

👇👇 TAP BELOW TO REVEAL THE NEXT PART! 👇👇

>!(Psst... keep tapping the hidden sections as you go. Apparently, this post has turned into an interactive adventure. 😂)!<

>!YOU DID IT! YOU'VE UNLOCKED THE BIG NEWS!!<

>!Now, I want to share something exciting we've been working toward!!<

>!For the past SIX YEARS, our rescue's director has used her personal vehicle as one of our primary rescue vehicles.!<

>!And let me tell you... that poor car has SEEN SOME THINGS. 😂!<

>!Unfixed tomcats spraying, terrified strays having accidents, leaky carriers, muddy traps, vomit, fur, and enough mystery smells to qualify it as a mobile crime scene.!<

>!At some point, it stopped being a car and became a four wheeled feline biohazard containment facility. 🤣!<

>!We had it professionally cleaned more times than I can count, but apparently cat urine comes with a lifetime warranty.!<

>!But here's the beautiful part: that car helped us save and improve thousands of little lives. ❤️!<

>!Unfortunately, about two weeks ago, it started having serious mechanical problems. A needed part was nearly impossible to find, the transmission was going bad, and the repair costs just weren't worth it anymore.!<

>!After six years of rescue duty, it was finally time to retire the Catmobile.!<

>!Thankfully, we were able to help our director get into a replacement vehicle that's great for everyday transportation.!<

>!But this time, we're determined to keep the personal vehicle PERSONAL! 😂!<

>!And that brings me to our next big mission...!<

>!🐱 A DEDICATED RESCUE VEHICLE!!<

>!Our director has already started fundraising and established a savings account specifically for this goal!!<

>!She's also been talking with someone who may donate an older vehicle to the rescue. It needs some work, but we're hoping we can eventually get a reliable primary rescue vehicle AND possibly repair the donated one as a backup or loaner for our transportation volunteers!!<

>!Imagine what that could mean for our rescue!!<

>!More reliable transportation for TNR appointments, vet visits, emergency pickups, supply runs, and everything else that comes with saving cats.!<

>!And just as importantly, our amazing volunteers wouldn't always have to sacrifice their personal vehicles to make it happen.!<

>!Because let's face it, rescuing cats shouldn't mean your car permanently smells like a litter box with heated seats. 🤣!<

>!❤️ THIS IS ABOUT GROWING, NOT JUST GETTING A VEHICLE.!<

>!We've helped save thousands of cats over the years, and we couldn't have done it without people like YOU.!<

>!But rescue isn't just about saving the cat in front of you today. It's about building something that allows us to keep saving cats tomorrow, next month, and years down the road.!<

>!A dedicated rescue vehicle would be a huge step toward making our work more sustainable, organized, and accessible to our volunteers.!<

>!I haven't had much time lately to catch up with our director about all the details, but I've promised her that once we finish our current fundraiser, my next fundraising effort will be dedicated to helping make this happen!!<

>!I'll share more information as those plans come together.!<

>!For now, let's finish what we started!!<

>!-- $350 raised so far!!<

>!-- $250 in matching donations still available!!<

>!-- $1,100 total if we reach our new goal!!<

>!Every cat we've helped represents a life that mattered. Every donation, every share, and every act of kindness has been part of that story.!<

>!Thank you for helping us write thousands of happy endings already.!<

>!Here's to thousands more, a brighter future, and hopefully a rescue vehicle that doesn't smell like 47 angry tomcats! 😂!<

Hope everyone’s having a great end to the week. Happy Friday! ❤️

Update on Jeremy: We ended up bringing him to a much larger hospital where our trusted surgeons are based, and his amputation was rescheduled to today due to the ortho’s availability. Thankfully, his surgery went well, and he’s recovering nicely.

We also had him neutered and got a dental cleaning done while he was under. Because of that + the hospital stay, his bill ended up being quite a bit higher than we originally anticipated. His vet also recommends that he stay hospitalized for another 3 days to give him more time on morphine.

We currently have $180 left to pay, which is expected to reach around $245 by the time he’s discharged. We’d really appreciate any help getting this settled. We’re small-time community cat feeders and rescuers, and we can only keep pushing through these cases because of the kindness and support we receive from this community. ❤️

The pending balance is in the 3rd photo, and the paid bill is in the 5th photo.

If you’re able to help, even a small amount would mean a lot to us. And if you can’t donate, a boost or share is always incredibly helpful too. 🙏

Update on our senior community cat Brady: He had to have all of his teeth removed, and it’s been a few days since his dental surgery. We’re so happy to say he’s been eating so incredibly well - he can even finish over three plates of food, which is something he’s never done before. 😭

We really have the kind people who donated toward his dental care to thank for this. He’s back to thriving in his colony, and seeing him eat so happily after everything he went through makes us so, so happy. ❤️

We shared this cat’s story three days ago, and many of you cared for her deeply.

https://www.reddit.com/r/rescuecats/s/tPbsb0w32Y

We are still giving her a long course of treatment. We clean and care for her injured paw every day, as she has a large open wound on her hand. We hope we can save her hand — if the wound does not heal, it will keep getting infected and affect her whole body, and the vet may have to remove it. We are continuing our care for her and are grateful for all the support you have given us so far.

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. You have also helped make sure we can use what we make towards vet visits and such for the cats.

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. I wake up at 4am daily, and don't go to bed until 10pm, just to make sure everyone is fed and accounted for♡

Hola, soy Amanda. Estoy volviendo a publicar mi historia porque me dijeron que mi post anterior le faltaban algunos detalles y las imágenes traducidas.

Les pido su ayuda para cubrir los gastos médicos de mi gato, Leónidas. Necesita una biopsia para saber si tiene linfoma mesentérico, pero por sus síntomas, el oncólogo recomienda empezar quimioterapia de inmediato. Hasta ahora, yo he pagado consultas veterinarias, análisis de sangre, un ultrasonido, medicamentos y comida especializada (hidrolizada).

Los recibos han empezado a acumularse y ya no tengo dinero en mi tarjeta de crédito para seguir pagando su tratamiento. Trabajo en una cafetería de una escuela y no tengo una red de apoyo para ayudar con estos costos—me apoyo únicamente en mi sueldo. También vale la pena mencionar que tengo otro gato, una gatita de 11 años llamada Cuca, a la que le diagnosticaron cardiomiopatía restrictiva hace como un año y necesita medicamentos de por vida.

Los fondos que se recauden se usarán para pagar los recibos acumulados y cubrir los costos continuos de su comida especializada, sus medicamentos, los análisis de sangre, la biopsia y las sesiones de quimioterapia.

**ACTUALIZACIÓN**

Este martes empezó su quimioterapia, pero primero tuvo que hacerse análisis de sangre para asegurar que esté apto para el tratamiento.

(También le recetaron medicamentos para las náuseas porque empezó a vomitar con mucha frecuencia.)

El plan de tratamiento dura cinco semanas y necesita análisis de sangre cada semana para ver si puede recibir la quimioterapia.

Por la edad de Leónidas (10 años), aquí en México no es elegible para seguro de salud.

También fui a una clínica veterinaria universitaria (BUAP) para ver si podía conseguir la quimioterapia a un costo más bajo, pero no tenían especialistas y me recomendaron que siguiera el tratamiento en la clínica veterinaria CATTOZ.

Cada donación le da a Leónidas una oportunidad de seguir luchando y mejora su calidad de vida, mientras que también nos da un poquito más de tiempo con él. Leónidas no es solo una mascota; es parte de nuestra familia y una de las razones por las que sigo adelante y me mantengo positiva en la vida.

Gracias por leer mi historia. Si ahorita no puedes donar, por favor considera compartir nuestra historia.

My cat is suffering from severe, hidden dental pain that makes it difficult for him to eat or even drink water. Because he is also managing kidney disease, his inability to eat and drink properly puts his health in critical danger. His teeth look fine on the outside, but underneath the gums, he needs immediate professional care. He has been diagnosed with tooth resorption.

We have an upcoming appointment on the 15th of October at Qincy Vet in Bucharest, the only clinic specialized in veterinary dentistry in the area, so the prices are extremely high.

The main issue is the cost of the extractions, which is way too much for just one single tooth:
Anesthesia: 500 RON (105.00 USD)
Complete intraoral X-rays: 400 RON (84.00 USD)
Scaling (tartar removal): 500 RON (105.00 USD)
Surgical extractions: 375 RON (78.75 USD) per tooth with abscess / 250 RON (52.50 USD) per tooth (this adds up incredibly fast and is the biggest challenge for us)
Postoperative treatment: ~150 RON (~31.50 USD)

The total final cost will depend on his exact extractions and the intraoral evolution during surgery. While the clinic kindly agreed that if the final amount exceeds 3,500 RON (735.00 USD), we can pay it in 2 installments (the first on the day of the intervention and the second up to a month later), we still need help raising funds to cover these overwhelming bills.

Currently, I have managed to gather 905 RON (190.00 USD), but with the appointment coming up so soon on the 15th, we seriously need this money to make sure he gets the treatment he desperately needs.
Any contribution, kind thought, or share means the absolute world to us and helps give his kidneys a fighting chance. Thank you so much! 💜

I found a newborn kitten outside last night around 7 PM, about 5 feet away from his mother, who was nursing the other babies. He was screaming and felt cold, so I brought him inside, warmed him up, and started feeding him KMR kitten formula.
At first, he was really struggling to latch, and I made the mistake of trying to force him to eat a little. I didn’t know how dangerous that could be until I looked it up afterward. I’m not 100% sure if he inhaled any milk, but he doesn’t seem to be acting any differently.
I kept him warm and tried feeding him until around midnight, then settled him in a box with towels and a warm water bottle nearby.
I’ve continued keeping him warm and trying to feed him, and he’s made some progress! He has started latching, sucking, and swallowing, but it’s still not consistent. I have to put the nipple into his mouth to get him to start sucking. Otherwise, he’ll start sucking on the towel underneath him, so I know he wants to eat. He just seems to be having a hard time, and I’m worried he’s still not getting enough formula.
His eyes and ears are closed, he can’t walk yet, but he moves around and reacts when I touch him. He also still has his dried umbilical cord attached, so I’m guessing he’s around 1–4 days old.
The reason I’m asking for advice is that I can’t afford to take him to a vet and pay for his care. When I considered taking him somewhere last night, I was thinking more along the lines of surrendering him to a place that could care for him, but everything was closed.
Now that he’s making some progress with feeding, I’m torn between continuing to care for him myself and hoping he gets better at latching, or surrendering him to someone more experienced who can give him a better chance.
I don’t want to give up on him if he’s actually doing okay and just needs time, but I also don’t want to keep him if I’m unintentionally doing something wrong or if he needs more care than I can provide.
Has anyone cared for a kitten this young who struggled to latch at first? Did they eventually get the hang of it? Based on what I’ve described, do you think I should keep trying or would he have a better chance with an experienced foster or rescue?
I’m doing my best with what I have, and I really want to give this little guy a chance. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi. I’m near Pgh. Looking for urgent home for a cat I’m fostering. Please let me know if you can help.

https://www.seaaca.org/

Hi, I’m hoping to find a loving new home for a family member’s cat. He’s two years old and hasn’t had much care, so he’s looking for a new place to call home as soon as possible. He’s great with adults and very sweet. DM if interested.

NYC

Hi RC! Waggytail Rescue in NY just pulled this little baby from the At-Risk List at our city shelter. She needs urgent care + antibiotics + painkillers then eventually an enucleation when she has gained some weight. She is malnourished and feeling like crap but we’ll do whatever it takes to help her! Please chip in if you are able to.

I am fostering her and will share her on my IG @whisker_land if anyone wanna follow her journey!

***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.

I operate a cat rescue and feeding program for a local stray colony in my hometown of Antalya, Türkiye. With donations down and over 200cats relying on me, I’m struggling to make ends meet..

Recently, I had to make the difficult decision to stop feeding the street cats so I can focus resources on the 24cats currently receiving care at our rescue. Some are here recovering from illness, some receive ongoing medical care, others need daily medication or require a special diet. Many were abandoned and found struggling to survive, lacking proper shelter, food, and veterinary services.

With supplies dwindling, it’s our cats who pay the real price. These animals didn’t ask for this fate. They simply had the misfortune of being born into a region where they’re viewed as a nuisance, instead of an honorary member of the family. But society’s shortcomings shouldn’t result in the unnecessary suffering of living, breathing beings.

Our weekly food costs total $1,100. Your donations would allow me to continue my mission and jumpstart my feeding program. Without your support, I’m not sure how we’ll go on. Please consider purchasing from our wishlist today: https://www.amazon.com.tr/hz/wishlist/ls/QSXEHQANH987?ref_=wl_share&utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAb21jcAUmUkdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mAnNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzU2NzA2NzM0MzM1MjQyNwABpy5JSjS3n-7nVQIiV_rUnIEA37vFw__C-39oZVSjaxX829WRQ2JqypMG1K61_aem_s1I_aPPtVZWAxg7t_svnSQ

This kitty came to our garden around a year ago. He was a tiny kitten and my husband thought it’s a girl so we named her Daisy. Later we figured out that it’s a boy but name stuck.

He became friends with our other garden kitties( Tiffany, Timothy and Rudy): they play together, sleep together, groom each other.
A few days ago I have noticed Daisy was less active and more sleepy than usual. At first I thought it’s probably heat( it’s still very hot here) but after he refused to eat today I knew he’s not well.

We rushed him to the nearest vet and discovered poor thing has fever, calici virus and gingivitis. He has to stay at the vet and receive meds for at least 3-4 days( maybe more depending on how fast he’ll be recovering)

So far I received estimate bill for 3 days (64 bd which is around 170$) which I need to pay when I pick Daisy up from the vet

I usually try to cover bills by myself but it became difficult as I recently picked up a few new cases that increased my spendings on the top of my regular expenses ( currently I have 20 cats under my care)

I highly appreciate any help
Thank you very much in advance for your attention and consideration
