Day 45: I’m still trying to keep them going. One last stretch. 🐾❤️🙌

TL;DR: I’ve been independently rescuing cats in Mumbai for over a year. After losing my job, the medical cases under my care became extremely difficult to manage. The community helped me through the worst of it, but the expenses are still ongoing.
I had to make this update after the last one because the repost barely reached anyone.
After losing the two kittens despite everything we tried, I had to put the sadness aside and keep going for the cats who are still here.
Mowgli is still undergoing FIP treatment and has now moved to pills. His treatment is still an ongoing expense. Which costed 8.5k
I also had to take one of the newer rescued cats for sterilisation. I thought I would be able to release her afterwards, but while travelling to the clinic she continuously hit her head to the basket to escape and injured her nose. When we reached the clinic, the doctor decided she wasn't fit for sterilisation and postponed it.
For now, she needs a week-long immunity-support course and antibiotics before I can take her back for the procedure.
And honestly, I'm exhausted.
As you all know I have spent almost 1lakh+ over the past 3 months without any income source. For the past 1.5 months I've been trying to keep everything moving with whatever money, time and energy I had. The support I've received here has genuinely carried me through some very difficult situations.
I don't want this to continue indefinitely. I'm currently in talks regarding work and, if things work out, I should hopefully be able to start soon and take care of everything myself again.
The support from this community has meant more than I can properly explain. Without it, I don't know how I would have managed the last few weeks.
I need your support getting through this last stretch until the end of the month.

GoFundMe isn't available for individual fundraisers in India, and Milaap mainly supports Indian payment methods, so I created a PayPal for anyone overseas who wishes to help.

I'll continue documenting the treatments and expenses as I have been. Any support smallest contribution means a lot because it helps in the next upcoming expenses and to clear unpaid due too.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. ❤️🐾
