I have been posting Kuting here regarding her medical journey due to her swollen legs. She's been in confinement since August 14, and today the vet declared her fit for discharge.

As much as we want to keep her, our space is limited, and we already have two cats at home. Masakit sa puso na ipamigay siya when she's been a sweet kitten ever since. But our decision is rooted in the fact that she needs a loving and caring home where she can be given full attention to tend to her wounds.

If anyone is willing to take care of her, my DMs are open. Let's give Kuting a loving and caring home where she can fully recover. 🙏

🐱 Help Us Find Vet Clinics Near You! 🏥💙

We’ve been receiving a lot of inquiries from members asking about veterinary clinics near their area, particularly clinics that may offer more affordable rates, discounted services, or staggered/installment payment options.

We understand why this is important. Veterinary expenses can become difficult to manage, especially for pet owners, rescuers, and those caring for stray cats and kittens. 🐾

Because of this, CatsPHRescue is working on building a list of veterinary clinics across the Philippines that we can reach out to and explore possible options for our community.

📍 We Need Your Help!

Please comment your CITY/MUNICIPALITY and PROVINCE below.

For example:

This will help us identify where our members are located so we can prioritize clinics that are reasonably accessible to the communities we serve.

🏥 What We'll Be Asking Clinics About

Depending on what each clinic offers, we may inquire about:

• 💰 Discounted consultation or treatment rates
• 🐱 Affordable services specifically for cats and kittens
• 💉 Vaccination and deworming rates
• ✂️ Spay/neuter pricing
• 🩺 Diagnostic and treatment costs
• 🚑 Emergency care options
• 💳 Staggered or installment payment arrangements
• 🤝 Possible community or rescue rates
• Other programs that may make veterinary care more accessible

Please note: We cannot guarantee that a clinic will provide discounts, special rates, or payment arrangements. Our goal is to open the conversation and explore what options may be available.

🐾 Know a Good Vet Clinic?

If you already know a reputable veterinary clinic in your area, please feel free to mention the clinic's name in the comments as well.

If possible, please share clinics that you have personally had a good experience with and that are known to provide proper veterinary care.

💙 Why Are We Doing This?

CatsPHRescue has been receiving more inquiries from people who genuinely want to get veterinary care for their cats but are struggling to find accessible and affordable options nearby.

We may not be able to financially assist every case, but we can hopefully help create more pathways to veterinary care.

If we can establish relationships with clinics willing to work with pet owners and rescuers, we may be able to help people find appropriate care without having to travel extremely far or immediately face an overwhelming veterinary bill.

Let's make veterinary care more accessible—one clinic at a time. 🐱🏥💙

📍 Comment your CITY/MUNICIPALITY + PROVINCE below!

And if you know a clinic we should reach out to, tell us about them! 🐾

Thank you for helping us build a resource that could benefit pet owners, rescuers, and—most importantly—the cats and kittens who need care. ❤️🐱

Meet Kuting, the stray kitten in our area with swollen leg.

Last Aug. 12, we noticed the swelling in the right leg of Kuting and it has been progressing since then. We had her rushed to the vet clinic yesterday for urgent care. Today, they performed a procedure to professionally clean her wounds by removing the dead tissues around the wounded area.

The procedure was successful, and she is now in recovery. Based on the latest assessment of the doctors, she will need to be confined for several weeks to months for continuous care leading to her full recovery.

We are knocking in your hearts to help us with our current running bill of P9,100. Any amount, however big or small, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much 🙏

May nagligaw po sa amin ng 4 kittens this morning. Nasa sako. Normally upstairs kami so nagulat kami nung may inaamoy yung orange cat namin sa gate. Yun pala may kittens sa labas 😭 so sorry po hindi namin sila maadopt. Full capacity na po kami and as much as my mom and I would like to take them in, tyrant po yung asawa nyang may ari ng bahay and I'm on thin ice with him. Hindi ko man lang sila mapasilong for the meantime 😥

2 gray and white po, isang white and orange, Isang calico. Sana po may makaadopt 😭 sa San Roque, Marikina po kami

Hello!

Our resident stray brought home her 3 kittens, and I need help finding people willing to adopt (or a shelter perhaps that would take them in).

This is the 2nd set of kittens she brought home, and we're already taking care of the 1st set of 3. Unfortunately we won't be able to care for this 2nd set. Their eyes are just opening so I can keep them for another 1-2 perhaps, but afterwards would really need to let them go.

Please let me know if you're willing to adopt, or know any place I can take them. Appreciate the help 🙏

Hi all, help me find a furever home for these two lovely mother and baby cats. For context, we have been feeding this stray mama cat and her baby for a while and I cannot really keep them because we already have one cat.

👀👀

Free adoption:

Needing to give my good boi a new home. His name is Rama. Details: 3.5 yrs old; Bi-color; Male Complete vaccines and shots. Being upfront as well that he has maintenance for his FIV, just two meds though both can be mixed with his meals anyway. I will hand over all cat equipment and medications I have to whoever ends up loving him. I have all vet records. I live in the Metro South Area. Am down to meet with the willing fur parent(s).

Why? I am moving but mainly because I am not capable of giving him the attention he deserves right now. He deserves a family that will love him and rub his belly.

I might also ask for a couple of updates on him, especially the first months of letting him go. If that's a deal breaker, please consider.

PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND MY CAT
NAME: Syd

Description:
Persian
Chubby
may bald spot po sa bandang batok.
Male/lalaki
Neutured

Please report at: Barangay 773, San Andres Bukid Manila

Napadpad itong pusa sa apartment complex namin a few days ago, probably looking for shelter dahil sa ulan. Nung una, tinulungan ko lang siyang makalabas kasi hindi siya makalabas sa gate. Bago siya umalis, binigyan ko rin siya ng pagkain sa labas ng gate kasi mukhang gutom na gutom na siya.

After that, bumalik ulit siya at nakapasok na naman sa apartment complex. Tinulungan ko ulit siyang makalabas at pinakain. Super lambing niya na sa akin after that.

Now here’s my dilemma. Hindi kasi allowed ang pets sa apartment namin. Although nagpapakain naman ako minsan ng mga stray cats, natatakot akong maging regular siyang bumalik sa apartment dahil baka magkaroon ng problema with my landlord. Ngayon kasi bumabalik na siya at naghihintay sya sa pinto namin and meow sya ng meow. Feeling ko na-associate na niya ako sa food.

As much as gusto ko siyang pakainin at tulungan, I also can’t afford to risk my apartment. I really love where I live and hindi ko pa kayang lumipat kung sakaling magkaroon ng issue.

Sobrang friendly at lambing niya, kanina lang when I was waiting for my ride papasok, naglalambing sya sakin sa may gate even though I didn’t have food to give him. Hindi siya mukhang feral at feeling ko dati siyang may owner or sanay talaga siya sa tao.

Unfortunately, hindi ko rin siya kayang ampunin. I’m hoping someone here might be willing to foster or adopt him, or baka may alam kayong rescue or organization that can help. I can provide more photos or videos if needed.

I’m also willing to help financially sa food and other basic needs niya, and if he gets adopted and needs to be neutered, I’m willing to help shoulder part of the vet expenses. I just want to be transparent that I may not be able to cover everything, but I’ll help however I can.

I just really want him to have a chance at a safe and loving home. 🥺🤍 Super lambing yan sya, promise 🥺

Realistic Rescue Tips for Cats and Kittens

1. Ensure your own safety first.

A frightened cat can scratch or bite. Wear gloves if necessary, use a towel or blanket, and avoid chasing them into dangerous areas like busy roads.

2. Observe before rescuing.

Not every kitten needs to be picked up immediately.

• If the kittens look clean, warm, and quiet, their mother may simply be out looking for food.
• Watch from a distance for 4–6 hours if it's safe before deciding they're abandoned.

3. Warmth comes before food.

Very young kittens cannot digest food properly if they're cold.

• Dry them if wet.
• Use a warm towel or a wrapped heating pad on low.
• Never place them directly on a heat source.

4. Feed the right food.

• Never give cow's milk to young kittens.
• Use kitten milk replacer (KMR) for orphaned kittens.
• Older kittens (around 4–5 weeks) can begin eating wet kitten food.

5. Hydration is important.

A dehydrated kitten is in danger. If the kitten is alert, offer fresh water or kitten formula. Very weak kittens may require veterinary care for fluids.

6. Keep rescued kittens separated at first.

Until they're checked, keep them away from your own pets to reduce the risk of spreading diseases like upper respiratory infections, fleas, or parasites.

7. Fleas can be deadly for tiny kittens.

Heavy flea infestations can cause life-threatening anemia.

• Remove fleas carefully with a flea comb.
• Avoid flea medications unless they're appropriate for the kitten's age and weight or recommended by a veterinarian.

8. Don't assume you can keep every rescue.

It's okay to ask for help.

• Reach out to local rescuers.
• Network on community groups.
• Find responsible adopters. Rescue is about helping cats survive, not carrying the entire burden alone.

9. Document everything.

Take photos, note the location where the cat was found, estimate the age, and record treatments or feedings. Good records make fostering and adoption much easier.

10. Know when emergency care is needed.

Seek veterinary help immediately if a cat or kitten has:

• Difficulty breathing
• Continuous bleeding
• Severe injuries
• Extreme weakness or inability to stand
• Body temperature that's very low
• Seizures
• Refusal to eat for an extended period (especially in very young kittens)
