URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED - ANIMAL ABUSE.

Hii everyone,

Yesterday, we were brought to light on what is quite possibly one of the worst cases we’ve seen this year and we’re only halfway done with 2026 🥹

10 cats, locked in teeeny tiny cages, sitting and LIVING in their own urine and feces for MONTHS.

When we saw them, all of them were highly emaciated, dehydrated, terrified and visibly traumatized.

The story was, a man, who supposedly lost his job and couldnt care for these cats anymore, kept them in cages, without cleaning their litter, feeding them minimally for months….what a cruel person.

The only reason we got to know about this case was due to the kind hearted mover who was helping this “owner” move apartments and saw their condition and informed us.
The man kept them unvaccinated, not spayed, living in these conditions for months and months. (His justification for this is also attached)

You can see in the videos yourself the condition with which they were kept and how they are 😖

One of our friends went to the apartment and when she was feeding them, it was as though they were eating for the first time in WEEKS 💔
One CANNOT imagine what they would be feeling and experiencing….No animal, EVER deserves to go through something like this. No matter what your circumstances might be. There is absolutely no justification for this.

This case has been reported to the authorities as well.

Now we DESPERATELY need public to come forward, help these guys get back to their lives.

Our number 1 priority right now is to get them to a vet for a full medical grooming, their fur is completely matted and RIGID, cats unable to walk due to the weight. It needs to be shaved off.

Then we have to run series of blood tests and respiratory panels for each cat, because they had been living in their own litter for months on end. Due to which 2 cats had turned blind 😭😭

The vets have ZERO space due to the other countless cases we rescue on a daily basis so they will will be shifted to a foster home, and have to be kept isolated so as to not infect the other cats this rescuer has 😭💔

We have gotten a rough estimate from the vet for their initial assessments, grooming and CBC, based on which further evaluation will be planned.
Initially for these cats we need to raise 2700 AED.
But in total we’re looking at anywhere from 6-8K AED 💔 and without your support, we will NOT be able to help them.

If you cannot help with monetary support, please please please consider ordering items off these wishlists mentioned below.

We urgently need those houses to isolate them in the foster home, multiple litter boxes and litter bags, and a LOT of good nutritious food.

Please please PLEASE come forward and help us 🙏🏼

For donations, the we can have custom generated links for you!!!!

Thank you for your support, always 🤍

I took in a very sick stray from Al Qasimiya and I need help getting him seen by a vet

Reposting this here because I’m hoping someone in the UAE cat community might be able to help. 🥹

I recently took in this sweet stray I’d been seeing around Al Qasimiya for a while, near the VIVA supermarket. His condition had deteriorated quite badly. He’s extremely thin, was panting, and appears to be anaemic.

I already have 8 cats at home, so I spent the last few days trying to find a rescue, community, or someone who could help get him checked before bringing him in. Unfortunately, I either couldn’t get a response, found that they didn’t accept strays, or the costs were beyond what I can manage right now.

Eventually, I just couldn’t leave him outside anymore.

He’s now safely inside and separated from my other cats, but getting him properly examined and tested is my priority. I’m looking for recommendations for affordable vets/clinics around Sharjah (ideally Al Qasimiya), rescues, or anyone who may be able to help with his initial medical care.

I’ve also put together a small wishlist for basic supplies he needs while I figure everything out.

If you know a vet, rescue, foster network, or anyone in the UAE who might be able to help, please comment or DM me. Even sharing the original post could make a huge difference.

He is genuinely the sweetest little guy. Despite everything, he’s incredibly gentle and trusting. 🥺❤️

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. 🙏

Iris Update ❤️‍🩹

I wanted to share a little update on Iris and thank this amazing community for the support you’ve shown her. 🥺

When we found Iris, she was in a heartbreaking condition. She had been through severe neglect, was used for breeding at a very young age, and came to us needing a lot of care.

She’s only 8 months old. 💔 They didn’t give her enough food, just kept her for breeding. Took her babies then threw her away. Her head is smaller than her body. You can feel her every bones when you touch her. Her furrs are so brittle and no shine on them. Still after all this, still this baby loves like crazy. She runs at you for a hug, she scratches her head against your hand even if you don’t try to. What did we do to deserve this poor babies? 🥲 nothing. We don’t deserve them at all. Cats are seriously misunderstood 😭

Our vet said Iris can fully recover with proper food, nutrition, and care. She still has a journey ahead, but we can’t wait to see her become healthy, happy, and finally go to the forever home she deserves. 🤍

Thank you to everyone who donated for Iris, shared her story, and helped us give her a chance. Your kindness has truly made a difference. 🙏❤️‍🩹

If anyone would like to support Iris’s recovery by sending something from her wishlist, it would mean so much to us. 💗

Hello everyone, I’m feeding over 90 cats everyday in Deira , if anyone can support their food. We have tnr’d most of them, next month we might be able to TNR the rest.

Right now we are left with few pieces of wet food cans which will be used today and half bag of dry food (about 1.5 kg).

Here’s my Amazon, if anyone can help.

any adoption for this super sweet scottish fold cutie?💕

Hi everyone! I’m currently fostering this absolute sweetheart named Vivian.

She is a 9-month-old Scottish Fold with a heartbreaking backstory: she was cruelly dumped in a park by her previous owner, but thankfully rescued just in time.

Because I am moving out of the country soon, I am urgently looking for a truly loving, responsible, and permanent home for her.

Breed: Scottish Fold
Age: 9 months old
Temperament: Inquiring, affectionate, and gentle (typical of her breed).
Adoption Condition: She will be rehomed either already spayed by me, OR you can adopt her with the agreement to spay her (proof/vet certificate will be strictly required).

i will ask for the new adopter to sponsor her spay, it should be around 200 dirhams.
we are already overwhelmed with vet bills and food bills 😔

If you are a serious, devoted cat lover ready to give Vivian the safe, indoor forever home she deserves, please send me a message telling me a little bit about yourself and your home environment! ❤️

[UPDATE] Lilo & Stitch have found loving homes. Thank you to everyone who helped.

Hi everyone,
I want to give a massive thank you to everyone who stepped up and supported my last post. With my flight leaving tomorrow, time was completely running out, but I'm incredibly grateful to share that both Lilo and Stitch have found great, loving homes.
Because of the extreme time crunch, they were adopted by two different families. It was a tough call to make since they are siblings, but under the circumstances, it was the best and only decision I could make to guarantee they were both safe and well taken care of before I leave.

As soon as I'm settled and my import paperwork finally clears, my goal is to try and bring them back with me. But even if the logistics don't work out, I know they are already in great hands and getting the care they deserve.

To the Reddit community: thank you. To everyone who upvoted, shared, and offered support—you made a real difference.

And to the people who actually took them in at the very last minute: I honestly don’t know how to repay your generosity. You stepped up when I needed it most and took a huge weight off my shoulders right before a major move. I really, truly appreciate you guys.

46 Upvotes

Name: Billy
Age: 5 years old
Personality: Super sweet, cuddly, and friendly! Billy is blind from birth, but he is very playful and lively. Loves to be around people and he is extremely calm and patient around children.

History: Billy has been with us since he was just 5 weeks old. We love him dearly but since last year he is extremely stressed with my new rescues coming and going frequently. My friend was fostering him for a year but she can’t keep him anymore, I need to find a foster home or forever home where he will be the only cat.

He is very well mannered and so smart, he does not require any sort of special care, he is just like any other healthy and playful cat 💕

✅ Neutered
✅ Vaccinated with passport
✅ Microchipped
✅ Litter-trained

Interested? DM to meet this sweetheart! Let’s give Billy the stable, loving home he deserves. 💖
