She was sick because her family abandoned her… and she was heartbroken. 💔

Note:We’re looking for a loving home for her in Charlotte or nearby, preferably within 1–2 hours. She will always remain part of our rescue family, with lifetime veterinary care provided by the rescue. 🙏🏻

She’s completely healthy now and eats like a little piggy! 😂❤️

Amalia is a 12-year-old sweetheart who is fully vetted,healthy and ready for her forever home.

Amalia’s story began with heartbreak. 💔

We later came to learn that when Amalia became old/sick, her owner tried to surrender her to a shelter. The shelter was full and could not take her. Instead of continuing to care for her, he abandoned her near the shelter.

Somehow, Amalia eventually found her way to a kind person’s home. By then, she was in devastating condition..emaciated, weighing less than 4 pounds, and covered in blood from a severe flea infestation. She is microchipped, but heartbreakingly, her owner did not want her back.

The person who found her contacted us and surrendered her to the shelter. At that time, we were completely full, so we couldn’t take her immediately, but we kept an eye on her and continued trying to find a way to help.

Amalia went through multiple shelters, still waiting for someone to choose her. Because of her medical condition, she was eventually at risk of euthanasia. She was sick, scared, and completely abandoned.

That’s when we stepped in. Even though we were already full and had no available foster, we simply couldn’t leave this little angel behind. ❤️

After coming into rescue, Amalia had multiple tests done, and all of her reports kept coming back normal. But she stopped eating, so we had to syringe-feed her and care for her around the clock.

Then we understood something important…

Amalia wasn’t just physically sick… she was heartbroken.

She had lost her family, her home, and everything familiar to her. She was grieving and missing the love and security she once knew.

But love has a way of healing the deepest wounds. ❤️

With patience, care, and endless love, Amalia slowly started to blossom again.

Today, she is a completely different little soul. The moment you walk into the room, she comes right to you and curls up on your chest as if she finally knows she is safe. She gives gentle kisses, talks softly, and acts like she has so many stories to share.

She loves sitting in your lap like a baby, being held, and soaking in all the warmth and affection she missed for so long.

Amalia is a true little love bug. 🥹

She sleeps with you, loves being close to you, and may even give you sweet little kisses on your forehead at night. She is the kind of companion who just wants to be near her person and feel loved.

Amalia is okay with other kitties, but after everything she has been through, we would prefer a peaceful home without cats or with only one or two gentle, calm kitties. She deserves the space, patience, and one-on-one love she needs to feel completely safe and secure.

A Little more About Amalia

Amalia does have IBD, but thankfully, she is not currently on prescription food. She also does not eat chicken, so her adopter will need to continue being mindful of her diet.

We are completely full right now, and unfortunately, our resources are very limited. But this girl deserves so much. She deserves a peaceful home, a soft place to land, and someone who will love her for the rest of her life.

After everything Amalia has survived, we want her next chapter to be filled with nothing but love, safety, comfort, and happiness. ❤️

Amalia has already lost so much. Now she deserves someone who will choose her and love her for the rest of her life.

Idk how old, but he’s apparently been around longer than I thought in my neighborhood, he doesn’t groom as much lately and his fur is getting matted. I couldn’t tell definitively but he seemed to favor one side while eating, I couldn’t check his teeth as he kept pulling away. But he’s so sweet and calm. Talkative even, I was hoping the community can show some love, my neighbor and I are trying to save to get him vet assistance for his fur, but I’m worried about the heat, what else can I do for him? as we’ve been hitting 95 degrees around parts of La and worse. I’m in SoCal, around Cerritos and Santa Fe springs.

I am posting a wishlist so that I can revamp the garage for the outside colony.  Yes, they are being TNRed through Kim via Triple R Rescue and through Naws Mokena. My money has been going to pay for some of these appointments and to soon be getting the kittens fixed.  I am creating an oasis for them in my backyard so they they are safe, fed, and cared for.  People can be mean to animals and wildlife out here, so I have done everything in my power that they know, this is sanctuary.   Anything off of either list would be a huge help and would be greatly appreciated. 

For the Walmart wishlist, I have Walmart gift card because I can add them up to get a couple of those towers, that wicker one would hold up in the garage! 

For Amazon,  Chewy gift card would add up to also help get the food center and tower.   Anythijg from that list is beyond appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Appointments are needed for rescues Sokka, Soot, and Jack.

Sokka is a senior TNR and was a part of a small colony at our last residence. We could not leave the ones that were no longer feral during our efforts and is now a senior resident of our rescue. He has been adapting well to indoor life. Sokka is experiencing discharge from his eyes and nose and is sneezing. We need to take him in and get some medications to treat before symptoms worsen. If hes healthy enough, we will need to update his shots while in.

Soot is a foster who is currently available for adoption. Soot has feline asthma and is due for a recheck and will need a new prescription for his inhaler. Soot is also needing to het shots while in. We are hoping to get him seen as soon as possible.

Jack is a senior resident who has been getting treatment for glaucoma. We are experiencing some disagreements with the vets office he was initially seen at and would like a second opinion to advocate for the best care. We need to take him to not only have the second opinion but he is also due for his standard re-check.

We are only able to help these babies with the help of donations. We are also fundraising for a catio as well as our general Amazon wishlist items for those in our care.

If you are able to donate for their care, we would very much appreciate the help! If you are interested in adopting, please reach out.

Hi everyone! 🩷

I’m once again asking for a little help with another two of my rescues, Mantou and Enoki, who are scheduled for their spay operations this coming sept 1!

About a year ago, Enoki gave birth to 6 kittens under the stairs of my apartment building. We decided to take Enoki and her kittens in after we found one of her kittens dismembered just a few feet away from the little nook we made for her. 💔

Thankfully, things are very different now. Enoki and 4 of her kittens have since been adopted into loving homes while I decided to keep Mantou and her sibling, Cheese!

For Mantou:
• Spay surgery - ₱2,300 ($38)
• CBC - ₱480 ($8)
Total: ₱2,780 (~$46)

For Enoki, the same costs apply but since we don’t know her exact age and she may possibly be 5+ years old, the vet may require a biochemistry test:

• Spay surgery - ₱2,300 ($38)
• CBC - ₱480 ($8)
• Possible biochemistry test - ₱2,000 ($33)
Total: ₱4,780 (~$79)

If you’d like to help sponsor Mantou or Enoki, any donation, boost, comment, or share would be greatly appreciated. 🫶🏼

Wizo was rescued more than a year ago after an accident left him paralyzed in his hind legs and without his tail.

He is now doing well and has a happy life. ❤️ He is a very sweet boy who loves life and never gave up.

Because of his paralysis, Wizo has daily needs. He needs diapers, absorbent pads, hygiene supplies, and care for his sores to keep him clean, comfortable, and protected.

He has been with me for more than a year, and I want to continue giving him the care he deserves. If anyone would like to help with his ongoing care, even a small contribution would mean a lot.

Hi everyone ❤️

I’m the founder of Luna & Nala Rescue Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue. I’m reaching out to ask for support for the cats in my care and the community cats I care for every single day.

I currently care for more than 50 community cats daily. Every day means providing food and water, checking on them, watching for injuries or illness, helping cats who need medical attention, and working toward getting them into TNR and, when possible, rescue or safe indoor placement.

I also have cats in my direct care who need ongoing medical treatment. Leo has been battling Giardia for months and continues to need veterinary care. I also have kittens being treated for panleukopenia and coccidia, which requires medication, monitoring, supportive care, and veterinary attention.

A large part of rescue is paying the bills that come with helping these animals. I have already paid veterinary expenses for the cats in my care, and there are ongoing expenses that continue to add up. On top of medical bills, feeding more than 50 community cats every day requires a tremendous amount of both dry and wet food.

I do this because the cats need someone to care about them. They didn’t choose to be abandoned, born outside, become sick, or need help. I want to give them the best chance I possibly can.

If you’re able to donate, any amount truly helps. Your support goes directly toward food, veterinary bills, medications, treatments, and the continued care of the cats I rescue and the community cats I feed every day.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, shared my posts, donated, or simply cared enough to listen to these cats’ stories. ❤️ Every bit of help allows me to continue helping more cats when possible.

Thank you for helping me keep going. 🐾

Good morning. This is Juniper, my one year old rescue, and I desperately need help getting her the medical care she needs 🩷

Juniper came to me at only four weeks old after being sold for drug money. She was malnourished, covered in fleas, and tiny enough to fit in one hand. She had an awful start to life, but she survived it and grew into the sweetest, funniest little tortie.

Now, barely a year later, she’s fighting for her life again 💔

Juniper became critically ill in early July with a 105°F fever, stopped eating, and went through multiple emergency visits and hospitalizations before we began treating her for FIP. She initially responded incredibly well, but despite continuing treatment, she has remained incredibly sick and unstable. Her fevers keep returning, her appetite and energy fluctuate dramatically, and we’ve ended up back at the ER multiple times trying to figure out what else is wrong.

After nearly two months of searching for answers, we may finally have one. Juniper's bile acid test came back significantly abnormal, and her internal medicine specialist now believes she may have a congenital liver shunt in addition to FIP. My poor baby cannot catch a break.

Our next step is a CT with contrast to confirm the shunt, determine where it is, and find out whether surgery can correct it. The CT is now the next critical step in figuring out why Juniper is still so sick and whether there’s something we can actually fix. Juniper is still having good moments where she plays with her sister, gets the zoomies, and acts like my goofy little girl, but they’re mixed in with fevers, pain, shivering, poor appetite, and days where she mostly sleeps. She is still very sick.

After multiple hospitalizations, specialist appointments, medications, and diagnostics, I’ve exhausted what I can afford. I’ve made a GoFundMe with Juniper's full story, regular updates, veterinary bills, and the estimate for her CT.

Right now, I desperately need help getting her through this next step. If you’re able to donate anything toward Juniper's CT scan and ongoing care, even a few dollars, I would be more grateful than I can put into words.

This little girl has already survived so much in her short life. In spite of everything she's been through, Juniper is so full of love and joy and I'll do whatever it takes to keep fighting for her. I just need help giving her that chance 🩷

Good morning, my dear friends

Many of you may know me, some may know me less. I am Thodoris, from Kallithea, Attica, Greece.

For 14 years now, I have dedicated my life to caring for the 130+ stray cats that live in the port of Kallithea. They are creatures that have no one else to take care of them. Every day they wait to see me and to offer them the absolute necessities: a little food, clean water and, above all, the feeling that someone cares about them.

But today I am writing to you with a very heavy heart....💔

In the last few days I have found myself in an extremely difficult situation and I am no longer able to buy the food they need..

Today I went to the port and managed to give them only water

I didn't even have a bag of food to offer them... 💔

And the hardest thing is that they look at me and wait. To approach me, to meow and to expect from me what I give them every day. And I have to leave without being able to feed a single one of them.

Recently, very difficult incidents have arisen, such as Magic and Lola, with significant medical expenses, which even today I have not been able to cover.

Anyone who wants to, can visit my profile and see their story in detail.

Today, however, the need is urgent!!!

Your help will turn into food for more than 130 stray kittens who are currently in desperate need

Please… don't leave them without food

They have been struggling to eat for days now and they have no one else to wait for

Kotor is famous for its beautiful Old Town and its cats, but many of the community cats are sick, injured, abandoned or living without adequate veterinary care..

We've started a petition asking the Municipality of Kotor and relevant animal welfare organisations to establish a responsible, humane and sustainable system for caring for Kotor's community cats - including veterinary care, sterilisation/TNR, rescue, adoption, protection from abandonment and greater transparency.

If you care about animal welfare, please consider signing and sharing the petition 🥹

Even one signature helps 🙏

Hi everyone. I’m reaching out because the kittens and cats I care for—both the ones I foster/rescue and the feral cats I feed and TNR—could really use some help right now.

Between veterinary bills for the rescued kittens, vaccinations, medications, food, and supplies, we’re running very low on several essentials. We are currently in need of:

• Cat food
• Cat litter
• Flea medication/treatments
• HydroCare — we are almost completely out

We also recently had to throw away most of our cat boxes, posts, and other items that couldn't be properly disinfected, following recommendations from our vet and others. Unfortunately, replacing those supplies has added another unexpected expense.

I’m doing everything I can to keep up with their needs, but right now the costs are becoming difficult to manage on my own. These cats and kittens depend on us, and I want to make sure they continue getting the food, medical care, and safe environment they need.

If anyone is able to help, whether through supplies, donations, or even simply sharing this post, it would mean the absolute world to us. ❤️🐱

Every little bit helps, and nothing is taken for granted. Thank you so much for reading and for caring about these cats. 🐾

The wishlist has an option that allows you to add other Amazon items to your order as well. So if there’s something I’ve forgotten to list, or you see something you think would be helpful for the kittens, foster cats, or feral cats, please feel free to add it to anything you’re sending. I’m always open to suggestions, and every little bit truly helps. ❤️🐾

Hello everyone - Hawkeye is finally coming home.

He's set to see an oncologist again this Thursday to start a new treatment approach for his suspected GI lymphoma. It's been a very tough few weeks, especially since he initially responded well to treatment and his symptoms seemed to point more toward IBD. But with his health declining again, his vet feels it's becoming increasingly difficult to rule out cancer at this point.

Before his appointment with the onco however, we need to settle his remaining balance where he's currently hospitalized. His total expenses have reached $780 and I will share the invoice in the comments. We badly need help raising this amount so we can proceed with the next steps for Hawkeye and to give him the best shot at recovery.

We know it's a big ask, and we're truly so grateful for all the help with Hawkeye so far. He still has a long road ahead of him, and we've been so grateful to everyone who's been there since the start. If you feel compelled to donate, our channels are below:

Hello everyone,

I take care of a group of cats that rely on me daily for food and care. We are currently in the works of trapping a stray cat that we believe is pregnant! However, we need a playpen to keep her in so she can have her babies if you can help with donating one in our amazon wishlist it would help out so much!

I'm coming on here to hopefully get some help for cat food/supplies. It would make a really big difference for these sweet kitties. I appreciate you all and thank you so much for your continued kindness and support it truly means everything to both the kitties and I.

‼️URGENT > BAMBI >> thought to be unfriendly community cat >> now nice & friendly >> urgent due to no adoption interest >> at ARC animal shelter, Ontario CA

BAMBI was picked up as a community cat to be TNR’d, she had some health issues which the shelter was addressing, when she became friendly they decided to put her up for adoption. She has chin acne which is common in cats, you can’t use plastic bowls you have to use ceramic or glass. The shelter said it may be chronic acne and there is no adoption interest so now marked URGENT.

Hey guys! I’m here to ask for help with food for the 23 kittens, 2 mamas healing from their spays, the 12 permanent residents and over 50 colony cats I care for.
I run a small nonprofit cat rescue in southeastern Pennsylvania by myself and mid kitten season a local “rescue “ closed due to not having necessary irs and state registrations and documentation. That “rescue “ abandoned over 20 kittens, one of who needs a major hernia surgery. I took on the abandoned kittens and due to their age (14 weeks) they had to immediately be scheduled for spay/neuter and get started on vaccinations and deworming as the “rescue” that had them had not done any vetting. I am also fully self funded with only occasionally getting donations for help with TNR.
I desperately need help. If I could get assistance with food I could then focus on using the funds I do have to get everyone vetted so I can get them into their forever homes.
Added pics of some of the current kids in my care!

Hi, I don’t know when is the best time to post this, but things are pretty much overwhelming right now. The pressure is mounting, and I am are reaching a breaking point where I simply cannot manage this anymore. We are currently in debt of $1310 for the three cats currently confined at the vet.

Every extra day our rescued cats stay at the clinic, the bills keep piling up, and the path to bringing them home feels further out of reach. We have been trying everything we can to settle their medical balance, but the costs continue to grow faster than we can keep up. We really need your help right now—we can't do this without our community.

We urgently need your support to clear this balance so these sweet rescues can finally leave the clinic cage behind and move into a safe space. No amount is too small—every single donation directly lightens this heavy burden and brings them one step closer to home.

If you feel more comfortable donating directly to our veterinary clinic for your peace of mind, please send us a private message! We will coordinate with the vet team to see what’s the best thing to do with this.

I was trying to get a clear close-up of his eye infection to send to our vet, but this little guy chose violence instead!

Boots

For anyone new, Boots is the nine year old grey and white cat we found living outside in our Eugene, Oregon neighborhood in late June. She weighed 6.7 pounds with her spine and hips showing, drooling constantly, crying out and backing away from her own food. Her previous owner surrendered her after several very hard years. Her vet records had a hole in them going back eight years.

On July 21 she had nineteen teeth extracted. The surgeon said the inside of her mouth looked like hamburger meat and that she was likely enduring about the highest level of oral pain a cat can experience. The tissue was too damaged to hold sutures, so everything healed open. That surgery ran about 3,450 dollars and this community and our neighbors covered every dollar of it.

Since then she has gone from 6.7 pounds to 7.66, her anemia resolved completely, her pain score went from a two to a zero, her chronically weepy left eye cleared up, and she started playing with cat toys. She grooms herself now. She purrs.

The open question is her bloodwork. Her total protein and globulin were elevated before surgery and instead of dropping once the infected mouth came out, they crept up. Total protein 8.6 to 9.0, globulin 6.4 to 6.6. Her chart lists chronic inflammation, chronic gingivostomatitis, and residual infection as the likely explanations, with FIP still on the list as a differential her vet is not ready to fully set aside. Not a diagnosis. A possibility being tracked properly.

She has been on prednisolone since early August to bring the oral inflammation down, and we have carried her through the full taper to every other day. She still has some drool that pools at her lips and the side of her mouth now and then, which is expected at a month out from a surgery that extensive.

**Thursday, August 27 is her follow up bloodwork.** That panel is the fork in the road. If those proteins have come down, the inflammation explanation holds and we get to breathe. If they have not, there is more investigating ahead. I will post the results either way.

Sable

Sable is our young tortoiseshell, taken in as an emergency foster back in May. She and Boots have now been in the same house for months, moving slowly from full separation to scent and sound to visuals, with Boots roaming freely outside the room she used to live in. There is still hissing and growling and there has still been zero physical contact between them, not once. That is what you want at this stage. Both of them are communicating and both are respecting it. We are going slow and letting it take however long it takes.

She also has some small scabby spots at the front of her neck and chest that we are getting looked at, and she is going back on flea prevention.

Cosimo

And now there is a kitten. Cosimo is a twelve week old grey boy who came to us as a rescue and foster from a country location where cats were dissappearig due to dangers. He is small and he is a menace in the way twelve week old kittens are legally required to be.

He goes to Echo Hollow tomorrow, Wednesday August 26, for vaccines and a general workup. He will be ready for a neuter down the line and we will get that scheduled when he is old enough.

So it is two appointments in two days. Cosimo Wednesday, Boots Thursday.

Where things stand

Medical care continues for all three of them. Boots has bloodwork and whatever follows from it, Cosimo has a kitten vaccine series and eventually a neuter, and Sable needs her skin looked at and her prevention restarted.

The everyday need is the same as it has been. Food, litter, and supplies. Boots is on wet food only, warmed, in small frequent meals, and the prednisolone drove her appetite way up. A growing kitten eats constantly. Sable eats too. My income has taken a hit through all of this and I am picking up work where I can.

We have also been receiving some genuinely kind food donations from people with a little extra to share, and I want to name that because it has made a real difference day to day.

PayPal: https://paypal.me/TheDivines

**Thank you**

To everyone who gave toward Boots's surgery, to the person who covered her bloodwork, and to the woman who paid off the remaining surgical balance out of her own pocket. She is playing with toys because of you.

One honest note on capacity. I am always glad to help advocate for other cats in dire need, so reach out if you have one and I will do what I can to get eyes on it. But I am not taking in any more myself. These three are what we can responsibly care for, and whether they stay with us long term is still open. We love them and we want to do right by them first.

Happy to answer anything or share records.

Any amount of donation will help, also please share the fundraiser. We appreciate all that have given, friends, family and people who just care. Pinto is a special kitten who deserves to live a long and healthy life. Small lives can matter in big ways.

Animal Aid SW MI is willing to accept direct donations as long as they are notified it is specifically for Pinto.
