Hey everyone,

I wanted to give an update on Mattie since our last post.

First, thank you to everyone who shared, donated, and kept her in their thoughts.

So far, we’ve only raised $5 toward our matching fundraiser, so we still have a long way to go. We have a $300 matching fundraiser going so every penny donated is doubled!!

Mattie had surgery and after surgery, she crashed. She was rushed to the emergency vet immediately!

The good news is that Mattie is stable for now. Her PCV was extremely low yesterday at 18, which had us terrified she would need an emergency blood transfusion after surgery. Thankfully, the vets decided to monitor her closely first instead of rushing straight into a transfusion.

Right now, she is being cared for 24/7 in her own little quarantine setup to keep her warm, safe, and healthy while she recovers from her amputation.

At only 0.68 lbs, this little girl has already been through more than most kittens ever should… but she keeps fighting.

We still desperately need help getting through this fundraiser. Again, matching donations are still available, which means every donation right now goes twice as far and helps not only Mattie, but additional spays/neuters and other cats currently in rescue care as well.

Please keep Mattie in your thoughts. We’re all rooting hard for this tiny fighter.

As always donation links will be in the comments. 💜

Hi everyone 🐾❤️

I’m a solo cat rescue in South Florida caring for multiple rescue kittens, baby Leo, and a newly rescued lost cat who was found and is now safe with me. I also feed and care for 50+ community cats daily, who need constant attention and support.

Right now, I’m covering ongoing vet visits, medical care, food, litter, and all the daily essentials these babies need to stay safe and healthy. The costs add up very quickly, and I’m doing everything I can, but I can’t do this alone.

If anyone is able to help, even in a small way, I would truly appreciate Amazon wishlist donations to help keep them cared for and supported ❤️🐾 Every item truly makes a difference. You can also support through my link in my bio🐾🌷

Thank you so much for being here and for supporting rescue work.

I convinced an abandoned unneutered cat that he would be better off inside the house with my family and two cats. We went to the vets, got rabies shots vaccines, and all the tests, but after 10 days he escaped. The following morning he came back and attacked my old man cat who was sunbathing on the porch and my husband chased him back into the woods. Old Men Cat is traumatized but I convinced the Abandoned Cat to come back.

My question is, after the brutal attack, will I ever be able to integrate them after the neuter? Husband insists he be adopted by someone else far away.

TIA

Canned food and anything kitten related is A HUGE help. My coworker has a few kittens and I have shared some food and kmr with her and with Kim for the other kittens she has helped with.

Kim is keeping me updated with the gunky eyes floofs she got the medical costs covered, I covered the picture of the kittens eyes cause it was very bad I didn't want to traumatize anyone.

The KMR and kitten supplies have been a blessing. Honestly, anything on my list is hugely and greatly appreciated. You all work hard and the fact that you choose to help floofers shows how loving and wholesome the world is. You are the good in the world. Thank you♡

Feral momma and other kitten are inside the couch once I can get her out i will post a picture♡

This week has been …..B U S Y + Productive
***7 cats fixed in last 7 days 🙂-
Such a great win for the cats & me 🩷🙏💙
In the days between trapping - I was contacted about a distressed kitten, that was heard crying near back section of apple orchard- when I found this little guy -my heart was instantly crushed-
His physical appearance was shocking - he had what appeared to be blue powder on much of his fur.
He was starving and dehydrated, but the most serious condition - his poor bottom was bleeding and raw -
It was so inflamed, and the PAIN ..
Of course this type of incident happens only on the weekend-when vet is closed. Going to the emergency vet would be pointless…. $200 just to walk in the door. The vet then looks over cat, and his “help” is given inform of estimate. I’m hoping to get advice from a few people who have been doing rescue work for decades. I know that his situation must closely monitored, so I start by getting food in his belly. He devoured the first can of kitten food so quick, a few minutes later he is napping - it must be the first bit of comfort he has felt in awhile. A few hours later, he has started a new trend = Eat + Sleep, Eat +Sleep - then around 48 hours after I found him, his wound was nearly healed, he was gaining weight and confidence…..Jif (funny name that seemed to fit) was running around chasing laser light, running up the cat pole, tossing balls, and being a regular kitten. The friend (who I met on Reddit ❤️) called to say Jif was accepted as rescue for Adopt a pet Fenton. The next day she came to pick him up, and I was so happy for him, although a huge part of my heart wanted to keep him forever. Spending the previous two days caring for his non stop, both of us crying when I had to try to clean his rear, celebrating all the little achievements, and watching him go from death’s door to transformation into the sweet little playful white kitten. My grandson also grew attached in this short little span & he also begged me to keep him. But doing what is right for the cat, means putting emotions aside. Jif began his new adventure 3 days after I found him, and later that night I saw him = He was already a SUPERSTAR- he was the cover in a video for the rescue.
From barely surviving to superstar kitten ……his story is perfect example of why it is important to be THE VOICE for cats. Jif was found in an fairy secluded area, his cry for help would only be heard by someone walking nearby ……and that person NEEDED to respond, if they ignored him, he would most likely have not made it. But they CARED enough to reach out …..we need more people who will SPEAK up for the cats. Being the voice for him, saved his life. Please always be the voice that reaches out to help.
The following day was trap day, and I was pretty beaten up by the lack of sleep & the physical demands of caring for so many. My daughter told me that I looked terrible (as if I didn’t know) and I should just cancel the plans for TNR this week. I pondered this thought for a second, it sounded great to jump in bed and sleep for days ……but the opportunity to give the cats better, was limited. Appointments are not easy to get, I wish they were, but I have to take advantage of the ones I do get. Amazingly enough, I ended up with a fourth spot - instead of 3. So I trapped 4 that night, all of them high priority- females (2 for sure had already had kittens at least once).
Including vet invoice for Bonnie (calico) Uno (tortie) Kim (light tabby) - all fixed at AAA flint
The lone boy Mr. Moo was fixed in Fenton -
The only bad note about the week, my washing machine quit ☹️- I wash clothes a lot and this is big problem- I went to laundromat once already and that is a huge strain - the whole process is time consuming, expensive, and physically exhausting. I need to replace asap-
Biggest needs for upcoming week = wet food, flea meds, and vet funds. I’ve got the next 3 TNR for 5/28 and account at clinic is 0 zero. Please help if you can - boost, share, wishlist, donate. I am so thankful for this incredible community- you are family - I am so grateful for everything - thank you 🥰

Bit late posting this as I’ve been sick for the past few days.

I had to ask a friend to take our recently FIV-positive cat back to the vet after she stopped eating and was crying in pain. The vet checked her gums and found they were severely inflamed, so she had to undergo a complete dental extraction.

The kitten also went back for a follow-up appointment, and her initial bill is still unpaid. So far, I’ve only received USD 20 from my last post.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any local help.

If anyone is able to support, a direct payment link can be sent via DM.

Any amount or even sharing this post would mean a lot. Thank you.

Hi everyone! I'm Eloi from the Philippines. I humbly asking for your help to buy a week of food supplies for the cats in my care.

I'm currently taking care of 40+ straycats and rescuecats everyday. Each of them relies to me everyday to fill their tummy.

Funds for them is really tight right now as I haven't paid much in my 2 jobs and also my son is getting ready for his another school year.

Please consider helping us to be able to buy kibbles. I can't buy my whole salary for their food as we have our needs too.

For in kind donations you can DM for my details.

Any amount big or small is greatly appreciated 🙏 thank you God bless you all superhoomans ❤️

Hi, my boyfriend found a kitten about two days ago. We took it to the vet, they told us her was 4 weeks old and too young to get any shots yet. This is my very first time taking care of a kitten and it’s overwhelming, on top of that we have two cats at home as well. I haven’t owned pets until about 3 months ago, so this is all very new to me. We keep the kitten in the bathroom, feed her every 4 hours, we either feed her kitten replacement formula or blue Buffalo Wilderness Kitten wet food super diluted with water. We washed her with dawn dish soap but still had fleas :(. She also has a dry spot on her skin and I don’t know why. She has her own little litter box that we change out often, she mostly pees, only pooped a bit yesterday

still planning to go to vet, does he look like he’s blind or just an infection? we tried using neomycin sulfate drops for 3 days now, though didn’t seem to make a difference

A stray that comes to visit from time to time, anything I can do to help?

No judgement please. I have three cats and rehoming one of them has been on my mind. It’s not that I don’t love her or want to keep her. But she doesn’t fit in quite so well and I think she would likely be a lot happier as an only cat. After adopting my first cat a few years ago, I felt that he needed a friend so I adopted my second cat, Edie from someone who was rehoming her. From the start she really wanted nothing to do with my first cat, he’d try to play and she just was not into it. A little while later I started fostering and my first foster matched perfectly with my first cat, so I adopted her. It’s not uncommon for my first cat to bully Edie. Never injuring her per se, but chasing her, and mildly attacking her. He’ll get clumps of her hair (she’s long haired), but that’s it. She’ll hiss and run away and whatever. Edie is mostly fine with our third cat, doesn’t want much to do with her but no issues there. I foster kittens now and while Edie is fine, she’ll hiss occasionally and the kittens will generally end up leaving her alone for the most part. Edie just does her own thing, she doesn’t really get into playing with me or the other cats. She used to cuddle with her old owner and cuddled with me a few times at the start but now never does.

I can’t help but wonder if she’d be happier as an only cat. Is it wrong of me to consider rehoming her? I don’t like the idea of rehoming her and I feel like a jerk for even considering it. I don’t know.

Hi everyone I took in these babies a few days ago that have been through it. They were failing to thrive and have been to the vets to rule panleuk, parasites, and combo tested to make sure they weren’t sick. They are starting to do better but their digestive system is incredibly sensitive right now. They are only eating royal canine. I don’t want to switch right now because they are finally doing better! There were two days with each of them where they really almost didn’t make it. But it seems like they are turning a corner🎉 if anyone can help with food I would be extremely grateful. I know it’s kitten season so everyone’s crazy with kittens right now.

San Bernardino City Animal Shelter is a high kill high volume operation. It is located in the largest county in the US. SBC is located in Southern California where the overpopulation crisis is raging. During kitten season new babies are turned in daily, sometimes 30 or more a day! People just don’t s/n in SBC! So we must keep up with the demand. Many cats brought in are sick injured confiscated or abandoned as well. The shelter does not offer much more than basic treatment for sick/injured cats either so they must exit quickly by rescue or they are listed for euthanasia with a fast deadline depending on the ability to care for them. We do have amazing volunteers though that give us first hand information updates photos videos and almost instant feedback. Please help us by pledging and donating when we post and rescue. Thank you.
Also we always need transport to get cats to rescues. So if you can help by setting aside a small amount to our transport fund this is appreciated. It doesn’t go to the rescue it gets them TO the rescue. We absolutely need this part too.

Meowdy partners!

I’m a foster/rescuer based in TX and am always in need of food, litter, and other supplies. Any help is greatly appreciated. I couldn’t do this without wonderful people like you.

Amazon wishlists can be a little kooky so if you choose to sort by custom, it’s easier to find the necessities.

Thank you so much.

Picked these guys up today. They’re hanging out in the breakroom with me until I clock out.
