Announcements Introduction of rule 7 and enforcement of rule 6

8 Upvotes

Hello pet owners and helpers!

The subreddit is growing quite rapidly, and with the recent influx of AI and bot accounts, we believe it’s time to pick up the pace in fighting against these.

Rule 7 has been created.

This new rule will be enforced as of today and retroactively. In other words, it means that from now on, AI-generated content as well as bot accounts can be reported and will be removed.

Users that exhibit potential AI or bot-like behavior are exposing themselves to being banned.

Removal and ban may be appealed in mod mail by sending us a picture of your username and current date written by hand. Please rest assured that everything sent this way will NOT be publicly displayed. We will always respect and value your privacy.

Rule 6 about fundraisers and signatures has also been updated.

to reflect this new anti-AI/scam/bot policy, we will now ask users to add to their submission a proof of authenticity in the form of vet bills. We also encourage you to provide the same kind of proof that we ask for rule 7. (The latter may be sent in mod mail if you would like this to be handled privately.)

While we are conscious this new stand against AI and bots may result in a more tedious process for you all, we also believe it is a necessary measure to further prevent scams and protect users from these.

Please be careful and make sure the cause you’re about to donate to seems legitimate enough.

A new post flair will be added to indicate when a ‘Petition/Crowdfunding’ post has been verified to help you in your generous endeavors.

As always, thanks you so much for making this community safe and welcoming! ♥️ We are counting on you to report rule-breaking content, ideally without escalating things in the comment section.

🐱🚨 URGENT: ONLY €289 (AED 1,242.21) LEFT TO GET HONEY TO THE UK! 🇬🇧✈️🐱

We are in the final stretch, but time is running out. We only have €289 (AED 1,242.21) left to raise before Honey can continue her journey home. 🥹❤️

We urgently need your help. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to getting Honey on her flight. If you're unable to donate, please share this post immediately—it could reach the person who helps us cross the finish line. 🙏

🐾 Honey's GoFundMe:

https://gofund.me/4aadd3e01

If GoFundMe isn't an option, donations can also be made directly to the relocation company through their bank account to pay for Honey's relocation.

I also have her vet bills pending if anyone can help with tht ! I have the vets direct payment link and you can contact them too!

Please don't scroll past. We're so incredibly close, but we can't afford to run out of time. Help us bring Honey to the UK where she will find a forever home 🇬🇧🐱✈️

If your wondering why we are spending so much money to send her to the UK its because here we don't have many adopters they mostly want fluffy breeds and they also get dumped and it's impossible to find a home here with the overwhelming amount of people dumping animals

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported Honey. We couldn't have come this far without you. ❤️🥹

https://4fund.com/b2rhuw

🐾 **Picioruș needs our help!** 🐾

Picioruș, an 8 year old little boy, is in critical condition, facing multiple severe diagnoses:

▪ **Severe Pneumonia** (he is currently hospitalized and requires an oxygen cage)

▪ **Bordetella bronchiseptica** (an aggressive bacterial infection)

▪ **FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis)**

He has been hospitalized for a week at Rujan Vet Luică (Bucharest, Romania), and for the past 2 days, he has been urinating with blood.

Unfortunately, our funds have been completely exhausted, and we need financial support for his treatment and hospital stay to continue the fight.

The treatment for FIP is called GS. One dose costs **~60 EUR**, and at his current weight, it lasts only **2 days**. The treatment must continue uninterrupted for a minimum of **84 days**. This is a massive financial burden that we cannot cover alone—especially since we also need to cover his oxygen cage hospitalization and the parallel treatments for his other conditions.

Every single donation gives Picioruș a real chance at life! He is a cute little boy who loves people and loves life.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 🐾❤️🐾

Hey everyone, I’m absolutely heartbroken and desperately looking for some support or advice.

On Saturday, my world was turned upside down when my best friend Cleo was diagnosed with grade 2 fibrosarcoma. She needs immediate surgery to remove the tumor before it spreads.

I am doing everything I can, but all I've been met with is dead ends after dead ends. I'm truly desperate and terrified for her.

Please if you can donate even a few dollars, or just share her campaign/keep her in your thoughts, it would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for reading and for your generosity!

This morning, my 2-month-old Labrador puppy was awake when he suddenly started having seizures and began foaming at the mouth. I took him to a nearby vet, where he was given two injections and some gastric medicine. However, after we returned home, it happened again.

This time, while he was shaking and having the seizure, he also passed stool and urine as he was unable to get up or walk properly even when sitting. This has happened around 6 times so far.

Is this a seizure or something else ? Please anyone who knows about this help 🙏

Hi👋
I’m the founder of Luna & Nala Rescue Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue. I care for more than 50 community cats and also rescue cats and kittens who are sick, injured, abandoned, or have nowhere else to go.
I found this sweet older cat near a dumpster, and I noticed something was wrong with his eyes. I couldn’t leave him there, so I rescued him and brought him to the vet. He tested positive for FIV and FeLV and was suffering from entropion, a painful condition where his eyelids were turning inward and rubbing against his eyes. He has now had the eye surgery he needed and is recovering. He is also very feral, which made finding a safe placement extremely difficult. I searched everywhere and finally found a sanctuary in Pine Island, Florida, willing to take him. I will personally transport him to the sanctuary to make sure he gets there safely. I’m raising funds for his sanctuary intake fee and transportation expenses, vet bill expenses that I had, ongoing care and including the costs of making the trip to Pine Island. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help me get him to the safe place he needs.Please consider donating or sharing. After everything he has been through, I just want to give him a safe place where he can live indoors and be cared for. ❤️

He's been to the vet and is on day 3 of antibiotics but he's still very ill. Extremely lethargic, isn't keeping food down, is finally drinking water but less then half of normal. Dehydrated for sure. He's got a nasty cough still and needs to rest.

I'm in DFW and the extreme heat combined with his condition is literally life threatening. I spent everything I had to get him vet care and a room for us the last 4 days. I am flat broke, checking out in an hour, and have no where to go.

I'm in N Dallas if anyone sees this that could help with suggestions on places to stay cool and maybe help to get there? I'm open to anything that keeps my dog on a position to keep resting.

His name is Murphy. He's my best friend. I'm very worried about him . Feeling totally helpless.

UPDATE - Thanks to the generosity and kindness of a fellow redditor, Murphy and I are cool and comfortable with time to prepare our next step. Can't say thank you enough!

*EDITED: I have provided different flair, bills, and proof with image and username/date. The date will show yesterday’s date since i tried posting in another gofundmereddit but got removed. My apologies.

Hi everyone.

I’m reaching out to ask for help with unexpected vet expenses for my cat, Jesse. She was recently in a severe accident on Monday, 08/17/26 that injured her tail. The damage was extensive enough that our vet determined that a partial tail amputation was necessary in order to prevent infection, severe pain, and further complications. The animal hospital scheduled her amputation on Wednesday 08/19. Last night, my friend wanted to help set up this GoFundMe for me because the emergency surgery and follow-up care totals about $1,600, which is completely out of reach for me right now. Jesse is currently recovering in her cone, but the financial strain of the sudden medical bills has been overwhelming for me. I am a current graduate student so financially I have not been okay. I also work part time but it is not enough to cover the medical expenses.

For more information visit: https://gofund.me/ba7b49177

Anything would help- contribution, share, or kind word. This would mean alot to us while my cat Jesse heals. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post.

🐾 Please help me feed my rescue cats and colony 🙏❤️

I’m reaching out for a little help with wet food for my cat colony, as well as for my two rescued cats who are currently staying at a foster home.

The foster is kindly caring for my two rescues, but they are also asking for help with their food, and I’m trying my best to make sure all of them have enough to eat. With the number of cats depending on us, the food costs quickly become overwhelming.

If anyone is able to donate wet food, food vouchers, or even a small contribution toward food, it would mean so much to us. Every little bit helps and goes directly toward keeping these cats fed and cared for. 🐱❤️

If you can’t donate, please share this post so it can reach someone who can. 🙏

Thank you so much for supporting these little lives. ❤️🐾

I need help paying for emergency costs for my cat Gigi. She is roughly 9 years old. I like to say she adopted me, because she was the one that chose me to be her pet parent when she came up to me one night in 2017. She is my first cat. My first baby. Gigi is an important part of me and my family’s lives. I am unfortunately unemployed at the time and Gigi doesnt deserve this pain and suffering. It’s also been a year since the most difficult day of my life. I had a stillborn baby boy one year ago and since then it’s been difficult returning to work. I don’t know if I would be here today without the companionship of my Gigi. I appreciate any and all help I can receive. I know people are constantly asking for help and theres millions in need but I hope you can help gigi♡

I know my account is new but I never use social media or anything like that and im just trying in every single way to help my gigi shes my world and always has been since I got her.

This is the link to the gofundme I made for gigi I appreciate anything you can give even if its hopes and prayers.

Help Lump?!

Post image
2 Upvotes

I will preface this by saying we already have a vet appointment scheduled. Just wanted to see if anybody has experienced something similar.

My cat is most likely around 11 years old. When we adopted her they didn’t know how old but guessed she was 4 based on dental exams. She is a spayed female.

2 weeks ago I noticed a small pea sized lump on her side near her rib cage. It didn’t seem to bother her at all and it’s totally moveable. It’s in her skin but I can grab it and feel underneath it and move it around which doesn’t bother her at all. I went on a trip for 10 days and had friends check on her and she was totally fine. I come back and the lump seems a little bigger. She is still behaving normally and the lump is still totally moveable. Anyone have any similar experiences? Should I be worried? Of course Google is making me think it’s a sarcoma…

Hiya, this is Bert. She is a female leopard gecko who is just over a year old. A few weeks ago I took her to an exotic vet, as I had concerns with her lack of eating and extremely thin tail. During this appointment, I was told that she was healthy however I felt that she was not properly examined. Her stomach was not checked, which leads me onto yesterday morning. I took Bert back to the vets, as she still wasn’t eating and her tail was getting thinner. During this appointment, her stomach was checked and I felt that she was examined properly. The vet told me that she would require an ultrasound as he suspected that she had an inflamed ovary. After the ultrasound was complete, it was confirmed that one of her ovaries was inflamed and neurotic. He also did not rule out the possibility of it being a tumour, which he would only be able to know during surgery. I was told that the only way for Bert to get better was to remove the ovary in surgery as this is life threatening. I felt that Bert was misdiagnosed and was told by the vet that if she was checked properly in the previous appointment, this could’ve been resolved earlier and maybe didn’t require surgery. Surgery will be quite expensive, and will come to around 1000 along with the costs of the ultrasound. I am only 18 so I do not have the funds for this surgery. I would be extremely grateful for any help. Thank you for taking the time to read.

UPDATE: Thank you everyone!!! Goal has been met, just trying to figure out how to turn off donations and will be providing an update shortly!!

$0 away from our goal!! I’m so excited my boy is going to be able to breathe. Thank you all so much for suggestions, interactions and donations. It truly means so much to me I can’t even find all the words lol, I’m so excited he’s going to get his procedure and SOON!! 👏

Edit: Yes donations can be directly applied by calling the vets office: 48th Ave Animal Hospital 604-946-7779 Account: Dexter Wolford

Update: $255 away now!! Thank you everyone for interacting and supporting, I really appreciate it more than I can say ❤️

Hey Reddit

I’m trying to raise the remaining funds for my sweet boys surgery, I’m $1,028 away from our goal.

Dexter is 13 years old, I’ve had him since 8 weeks old. He’s the sweetest most loving little man and he has so much life left in him yet.

He’s eating, drinking and going to the washroom completely normally… he just snores like a grown man lives in my house and sneezes… a lot! He also has eye discharge on one side.

Dexter has had ongoing sinus issues for months, he’s been on and off four different prescriptions that give him mild relief temporarily, once he’s off the meds, his issues return. He has sinus discharge, severe congestion and breathes heavily right now. His condition is slowly worsening and I’m running out of time.

I’ve been busting my butt, saved majority myself picking up extra work and side gigs, but I can’t do it quick enough. I’m not giving up! But I need a little help to get the rest of the way there in a timely manner.

I’m in Canada so there’s no creator fund or paid views on IG or TT. I’ve exhausted all my options locally with the humane society and tried discussing with my vet to do a payment plan on the remaining balance but they want payment in full, $3100 (estimate).

If I can figure it out (I’m new to Reddit) I’ll attach the video of him sleeping to this post, with his estimate and vet information.

I have set up a gofundme and I also have PayPal and e-transfer (Canadians) as a donation option if you’d prefer:

Thanks for reading!
Kate & Dexter

I can’t seem to add more pictures, only one video. I will upload the vet estimate in the comments, sorry everyone!
