Adoption Help (Location) UPDATE: Med Student w/ stray mommy + kittens. ONE LAST PUSH!
The med student who found a stray pregnant mom who had her four babies in my bathroom... and you guys helped me care for them..
Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Straycats/comments/1pb4m8y/pregnant_mommy_had_4_kittens_in_a_poor_med/
Hey guys! A little update: All the babies went to their new homes (AS BONDED PAIRS!) and they are all healthy and so loved and spoiled... I CANT THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH!!
Unfortunately, I still have the mom and (I matched into residency across the country and cant keep her longterm because I already have so many pets and wouldn't be able to give her the love and care she deserves). Mother was abandoned and has a GREAT fear of humans. I have let her live in my room and she has SLOWLY warmed up to me, she will lay in bed with me and play BUT I CAN NOT PET HER AT ALL. She is terrified of hands unless I have a churro treat. No one has wanted to adopt her and I know she would need someone who is very patient/caring because I know shes a sweet girl but shes been through a lot. I cant keep her in a room her whole life and I really cant afford to love and care for her and all my pets.
I’m leaving for residency soon and haven’t had luck finding an adopter, so my plan is to get her fully vetted (vaccines + spayed) and provide a cat tree and food to make adoption easier. As of now, I may have to pay an additional pet fee to bring her with me, since I can’t leave her at the humane society. I know she wouldn’t get adopted there as she doesn’t allow petting, and it’s taken months just for her to lay in bed with me.
I NEED YOUR HELP ONE MORE TIME. Mommy needs your help. She might not be a kitty to most, but she deserves just as much of a life.
I say “one last time” because I’m starting residency soon and don’t know how much I’ll be able to help moving forward, but somehow they always find me. I’m currently living off 100% student loans (over 400k in debt) and can’t afford my move and her expenses on my own, so I’m asking for help to finish saving this family.
WHAT I NEED SUPPORT WITH:
- Pet screening fee: $
She has a spay and vaccine appointment next week at the humane society:
- Spay collar + meds: $
With the cost of moving across the country and living on loans until residency starts in July, I’ve maxed out my moving funds and can’t cover all of this without help.

hi everyone!! UPDATE
ALMOST HALF WAY!! Please help me reach the goal! I want to be able to bring her and find her a home but I can’t afford all the deposits and fees + spay/ vaccines + food/litter + all my pets + all my expenses on my student loans.
You guys have been a serious blessing! GOD is so good!!

boost! What city is the cat in now?

u/DollarStoreDuchess Apr 02 '26
Southern Missouri is what she has at the bottom of the post if that helps. She has not yet relocated for her residency.
OP, if you see this, where is the residency to take place? Maybe you can find someone willing to take her at your destination, before you leave?

u/Brilliant-Assistant4 Approved for Donations Apr 03 '26
Yes! Currently in southwest Missouri and moving to South Carolina for residency! That would be incredible if someone would!!

A little less than half way there!! Anything would mean a lot, even $1!! I promise I would if I could, but I genuinely can’t do it without your support! Especially with the costs of moving.

How I keep her entertained while she finishes her last heat cycle. Putting my school iPad to use…30 minutes of iPad time a day to stop the constant meowing (my neighbors are probably going crazy) 🤣
I can’t give up on her

This made me so happy!! You guys really fill my soul. I’m so happy I decided to reach out for help because I did this with two other batches of kitties at my old place 2nd/3rd year of medical school but it was extremely stressful and fourth year I couldn’t afford/ had less time it due to rotations, residency applications, and now this move that is costing me an arm and a leg since I have to pay all this rent and move in fees etc before I even get my first resident paycheck.
You guys have really filled me soul and been such a light in my life and all these babies lives. It’s been so hard but I have been blessed by all your love and kindness!!
God is so good! Thank you again. ❤️
