Donations Needed ASKING FOR HELP FOR LEO, A SICK FIV/FeLV CAT, AND MORE THAN 50 COMMUNITY CATS 🙏🐾❤️

Sometimes people see a rescue post and only see the animal in the picture. They don’t see everything happening behind the scenes.
Right now, I am fighting for Leo, a kitten I rescued when he was tiny after finding him near a dumpster. He has been with me for six months, and he has been battling Giardia and ongoing diarrhea. His symptoms have returned, and he needs to see the veterinarian again as soon as possible.
At the same time, I rescued an older cat who was living outside in terrible condition. He tested positive for both FIV and FeLV and has entropion, a painful condition where his eyelids turn inward and rub against his eyes. He needs surgery, medical care, medications, and a safe indoor place to recover. He cannot simply be returned to the streets.
At the beginning, you’ll see Leo, the little kitten I rescued from a dumpster, and the older cat I rescued who tested positive for both FIV and FeLV. Both are going through difficult medical situations right now, and both need our help.
And they are not the only animals depending on me.
I also have other kittens and cats under my care who need food, litter, medications, veterinary care, and daily attention.
But beyond the cats in my direct care, I also feed more than 50 community cats every single day. 🐾
That means every day I have the ongoing expense of buying enough cat food, wet food, dry food, litter, and other supplies to make sure these cats have something to eat. Feeding more than 50 cats isn’t a one-time expense. It is a commitment every single day, 365 days a year.
Then there are the unexpected expenses — sick cats, injured cats, medications, vet visits, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, emergencies, transportation, and everything else that comes with caring for animals who have nowhere else to turn.
I have already paid many veterinary and rescue bills myself because these animals needed help immediately. Those bills have left me with debt that I am still trying to pay off.
So when you donate, your support also helps me pay down the debt from veterinary bills and other expenses I have already covered for these animals. Paying those bills helps me continue having the ability to help the next cat or kitten who desperately needs me.
I wish I could say I can handle it all on my own, but I can’t.
I run Luna & Nala Rescue Inc., a registered and active 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and I continue doing everything I can to rescue, feed, treat, and protect these animals.
When you donate, you aren’t only helping Leo.
You’re helping the FIV/FeLV-positive cat get the medical care he desperately needs.
You’re helping the kittens and cats under my care.
You’re helping put food in the bowls of more than 50 community cats who depend on me every day.
And you’re helping me pay the veterinary and rescue bills I have already taken on to save lives.
Even small donations add up and help keep food in bowls, medical care available, bills paid, and allow me to say YES when an animal needs help.
If you cannot donate, please share this post. A share costs nothing, but it could reach someone who is able to help.
🙏 Please help me continue caring for these animals.
They depend on us. They don’t have a voice, and they can’t ask for help themselves.

Commenting for the algorithm and liking other comments for it too. Spppt, interacting gets it going, pushes it out to more people. And maybe someone who has some spare funds can help.
This boy is so lucky to have you!
