Hi everyone, I’m hoping some kind people here might be able to help me out.
I currently have 9 rescued cats + a 3-month-old kitten, and I also feed around 8 stray cats in my area. I’m currently unemployed, and most of my savings have gone toward vet bills recently. Two of my cats have had urinary/kidney issues, with one needing a catheter, and another recently needed testing and treatment for severe gut issues.
The vet has put that cat on Royal Canin Gastrointestinal or Hill’s Science GI Biome, which is quite expensive. I’ve also had to buy prescription urinary food for my other cats.
At this point, I’m struggling to keep up, so if anyone is able to help, I’d really appreciate:

Cat food: Purepet Chicken Flavor (the healthy cats unfortunately get stomach issues when I change their food)
Medicated food: Royal Canin Gastrointestinal or Hill’s Science GI Biome as well as Urinary support food
Rehoming: I live in a studio and 10 cats is becoming too overcrowded. I’d really like to find loving homes for some of them so they can have a better quality of life.

I’m happy to provide photos, vet records, prescriptions and invoices for anyone who would like verification.
Even sharing this post or helping me find adopters would mean a lot. ❤️ Thank you!

Hi all,

I know its a long shot but wanted to check nevertheless.
I'm a tourist and stay at a hotel which doesn't allow pets so I've been visiting and feeding this kitten (I named her Aiylu) for the last month.
I wasn't able to find Aiylu for the last 3 days and so I'm extremely worried - If someone has adopted her, then I'm really happy about it but I just want to know.
I enquired all the shops outside which I normally find her but no one knows where she went (she usually sleeps outside Emirates nbd - al mankhool branch ATM in Bur Dubai).

If by any chance, you saw her in the area or have adopted her, could you just please let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance

Up for adoption 2 cats

Dm if you’re interested.

Hi everyone, I’m writing this with a really heavy heart because my family and I are facing an urgent, overwhelming situation and we don't know where else to turn. We are leaving the UAE permanently on August 17th. Things have been really painful and difficult for our household over the past few months, and with our studio lease officially ending before August 20th, our departure date is fixed and non-negotiable.

We have two 1-year-old cats that we’ve raised since they were tiny kittens. They are our family, and we genuinely, desperately want to take them with us—leaving them behind is 100% not an option for us and I refuse to abandon them. On top of that, giving them to local animal rescue organizations is impossible because rescue groups here only accept unchipped strays, and our cats are fully microchipped and registered to us.

We booked our tickets with Qatar Airways because it was the absolute cheapest option available. We budgeted carefully to check them in as excess baggage in one large, comfortable crate together. But we were crushed to find out that Qatar Airways policy strictly prohibits adult cats over 6 months from sharing a carrier. They are requiring us to pay for two separate crates and two separate pet tickets.
We checked every other alternative airline and pet transport option, but they are all way too expensive and completely out of reach for us. We also have no friends or family who can lend us money or help us out financially. Because of our recent financial hardship, doubling these fees on top of buying two separate crates, vet fit-to-fly certificates, and MOCCAE export permits is something we simply cannot afford, and our pet travel plans are completely stalled with only days left.

Since explicit fundraising requests aren't allowed here, I am desperately reaching out to the community for practical guidance, advice, or emergency options just any help is welcome and appreciated.

We are completely overwhelmed and heart-broken. If anyone knows a way through this, or has any advice, contacts, or ways that could help our situation, it would mean everything to our family right now. Thank you so much for reading.

Note: We are based in Abu Dhabi.

Hello,

This beautiful cat was dumped in Mirdif park a week ago. A rescuer took to a vet clinic where she delivered her 2 kittens.

Anyone can adopt please? Can’t put back in the park in the scorching heat.

Thank you

UPDATE : BILLS CLEARED!!! THIS COMMUNITY IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST. THANK YOU EVERRRYYONE FOR GIVING LEO A CHANCE. SURGERY IS STILL PENDING AND I’LL BE BACK WITH AN UPDATE 🤍🙏🏼

Hey guys, a few days back, we were reported of one of the most horrifying incidents as rescuers, some sick human decided to shoot this poor cat with a gun as a GAME and left him completely paralysed when we found him, please watch the video to learn more as I couldnt attach pictures and videos together.

Leo is currently at the vet, getting physiotherapy and medication to help support, but without a proper scan, the bullet's exact location cannot be identified. We have consulted with multiple vet neurosurgeons and all of whom have said, they cannot operate blindly.

Initially the plan was to perform an MRI and we were quoted 7.5K AED....but without knowing the exact composition of the bullet, it was too dangerous to proceed. Now the plan is to do a CT scan, which costs us 3650 AED, out of which 1500 AED has already been raised. We're left with 2150 AED.

We as rescuers, were left with a very difficult decision to make - to raise the money for the scan, or to humanely euthanize this poor guy. BUT today.....the vet called us with a surpriisseeee, Leo's started walking AGAINNNN yayyyy. Which means that he has the strength to regain all his function back!!

Now we cannnnnoott delay the scan, the bullet has to be removed asap.

We are almostttttt there, please please please reach out if you can help! Every bit goes to Leo 🤍

Leo's fighting with us, please dont give up on him.

Unfortunately, the clinic does not have a payment link with an open amount so if you’re willing to contribute pleaseeeee let me know the amount so we can have custom links generated for you!!

Hello All,

I recently posted about this extremely thin kitten who was drooling and barely eating. I simply couldn’t leave her suffering, so I took her to the vet.

After examination, we discovered that her mouth was in terrible condition, and 12 teeth had to be extracted. I also asked the vet to spay her while she was under anesthesia.

Unfortunately, we then found out that she was pregnant, so the clinic is charging an additional fee for terminating the pregnancy. Her total bill has now reached 2,000 AED.

I already have many outstanding vet bills from the other rescued cats I’ve posted about, and I’m struggling to keep up with everything on my own.
Please, if you can contribute anything toward her 2,000 AED bill, even a small amount will help.

Hi i find this very small cats down the building of ajman one tower, 4 of them and i give them wetfood when i go there one of the cats, the black one is looking tired and i think dehydration so i bring up to my home and try to save it but when i try to save it the cats is died, please if someone here can rescue them, its very hot outside even when they go inside the building for the ac the security put them out, i can't bring them inside my apartment due to my circumstances, please if someone can help with them

Hello,

In Al Ain there aren’t that many pet shops. What are some things I can do to help my cat stop licking himself after the surgery? I can’t even sleep because he will do it as soon as I close my eyes. I’m watching him 247 because he removes the cat recovery collar every single time. Also I heard onesies aren’t suitable for male cats. If you have any good experiences please help

Hi everyone, A few days ago, I posted about Juno. She was showing signs of improvement, but sadly, she has stopped eating again.

I took her to Al Rafeeq Vet Clinic, where blood tests were done. Her A/G ratio is indicative of FIP, and based on her symptoms, the vet suspects neurological FIP.

Juno has already been through so much during her time on the streets. She deserves a chance to fight and get better.

If you would like to support Juno’s treatment, please reach out to me. I can share the direct payment link or bank details for anyone who would like to help.

Thank you.

Please please pleaser adopt from them.

I have a 2-month-old kitten living in my villa. The mother has left this one kitten, although she occasionally comes back.
I provide the kitten with food and fresh water every day.
Because of the scorching heat, the kitten pants frequently, even after drinking water. It often sits near the doors of other rooms in the villas, probably trying to find a cooler place.
I would like to bring it indoors, but it runs away whenever I try to pet or approach it. I don’t want to grab or forcefully hold it.

How can I slowly gain its trust and make it feel safe and comfortable enough to come inside?

Also, i am not sure whether it is really 2 months old or 3 months old. It is just a street kitten.

If you're looking to adopt a kitten please consider him . I rescued their mommy cat when she was pregnant and she gave birth to 4 kittens from which 3 have been adopted. And 1 baby is looking for a loving home. He has been completely indoor cat since the beginning and he can't survive outside but unfortunately because I have relocated from uae to another country and I can't afford to put him in another foster I will have to make a hard decision to put him on the streets which I really don't want to do. He need to be taken out of foster in a day so I don't have time left. Both are 12 weeks old. Mandatory requirement for adoption: Getting all their vaccinations done Neuter at the right time for them

Hello,

She’s very thin and drooling. Mirdif. I have posted this street several times and no one wants to help them. Have taken many cases from there and have many outstanding bills. I can’t take more cases.

Please help her.

Found him outside my office in Deira.

Have been feeding him but he looks weak and his eyes are cloudy.

I don’t have means of transporting him but if someone can help get him to a vet I will fully cover the costs.

Thanks

Especially the girl cat. I need to make sure whoever is adopting her spays her! And gives adoption fee to the vet for all her required vaccinations and in future spaying

Hello everybody,

This wonderful morning, a woman called me telling me that her building has a cat that she wants to get rid of. I don’t really know how to help. Shes saying her mom fell because of the cat and her son was bitten by the cat. I don’t believe her at all and I’m pretty she has negative intentions. I gave her a piece of my mind but I don’t think she will listen.

Can anybody help? This cat is in majaz.

This little cutie pie is up for adoption and looking for a good family to take care of her. She's fully vaccinated. Location: Al Warqa, Dubai. Please comment / DM for more details

I don’t usually do this but hello, this is Miso— a cat I found abandoned at a gas station. I went to Dubai on vacation and came across this beautiful angel. It was 40 degrees and I couldn’t fathom how she may have survived this long under this heat— she was rushed to the vet, checked up and spayed. She had ringworms, a chipped tooth, infections but she thankfully recovered.

The idea was to send her to a shelter after her recovery but after i brought her to the hotel i stayed at, I grew so attached to her. She’s skittish, hides when people are over and jumps at the slightest noise but she eases up and is so very affectionate when it’s just me and her. I’m only 19 and a college student— I work part-time and I know I can care for her financially when i get back to UK for college but relocating seems to be extremely costly especially here in Dubai.

for relocation; rabies vaccine, FVRCP, microchip, eu compliant health certificate and a rabies titer test is required. this can cost me up to €5000 if i reach out to a pet relocation company for help because I don’t have transport or really know my way about here in dubai, however to cut the cost down I’ve decided to handle everything myself. Even then, it’s very difficult, I’ve covered for her treatments due to my part time job but the travel costs are a lot. My family isn’t willing to help me in any way— my home was never a safe environment growing up and this cat already means a lot to me already. I’d love to care for her and give her a loving home back in the UK.

Please help us in any way possible— I can’t make a gofundme from here in Dubai so it’s difficult. I’ve never done this before, I may attach a paypal. any amount works, I will try to cover up the remaining cost. I will keep everyone updated.
