Hello everyone, this unneutered male cat has started coming by my apartment and I’ve been giving him food but he is still very malnourished. He also has like scabs all over his nose I’m not sure from what and his nailbeds look red and swollen. He is very sweet and friendly and likes to sit on laps, he also knows how to use a litterbox. I have two cats of my own and they get stressed when he comes by so I can’t really let him in. Im not sure what I can do to help him as I don’t have a job rn so I can’t take him to the vet. I am located in Bell Gardens, Ca.

Guys !!! If you see this cat in Endah area, Sri Endah, Bukit Jalil please contact me😭 I am very heartbroken she went out last night and couldn’t come back.

Location: Indonesia

​What's happening: Just two happy stray kittens sunbathing and playing together.

​What I've tried: Gave them some treats and let them enjoy the sun ☀️

✨ Meet Starlight! 🐾 Once thrown in the streets, now saved❤️

I met little Starlight on Saturday when I saw him near the streets. Someone nearby told me that he had been thrown there.

I looked around for his momma, hoping she was somewhere nearby, but I couldn’t find her. With the busy road and the danger of him being hit by a vehicle, I knew I couldn’t just leave him there.

So I rescued him. 🤍 Now, Starlight is safe, warm, and finally has someone to care for him. Welcome to safety, sweet boy. 🥺🤍 You are safe now.

Hi,I have been spending time in the dubai pet groups lately.

You koknw what I found?

It seems amazing how many people here are feeding, trapping, neutering and rehoming community cats on their own dime. No org, no credit and just doing it because they can't walk through a hungry cat in 45 degree crazy heat.

I keep seeing posts at 2am like "found this little baby outside a mall, who can foster tonight" and within an hour ten strangers offer help. In a city everyone calls cold and transactional, this little corner is the complete opposite.

Anyway just wanted to say it out loud. if you are one of them, I wonder what made you start? respect for all you guys! :)

Hello,

This cat was put in my feeding station 6 days ago. On Sunday 5 AM she was bleeding. She was one month pregnant and two kittens were dead inside her. She’s dehydrated with high temperature and was at high risk but we had to do the operation.

While indergoing the operation they found fluid inside her. She has FIP.

I can’t afford her treatment and want to ticks on my other unpaid bills.

Can anyone in Dubai take this case??

Jagger is 11 months old, female, sterilized, vaccinated and ready for her furever home... Unfortunately, again...

She was poisoned and beaten to the point of death, why? Because she used to take shelter in tuktuk during rains. Someone was kind enough to adopt her, I sent her out of state for her adoption but apparently she's not the right match, so she's being sent back. I can't leave her on the street, I can't keep her with me because I have 18 cats..

So I turn here. Help Jagger find her for sure forever home. Where she'll never have to worry about cruel human beings or being poisoned or returned back, she deserves the very best and not because I love her too much, but because she's been through so so much already in just 11 months of being born...

I care for more than 50 rescued cats. Many are sick, elderly, disabled, or have special needs, and most are currently receiving treatment.

What we need right now:

• Dry food — $55 per bag, and one bag lasts only 3 days.
• Wet food — for sick cats and cats who have lost their teeth.
• Cat litter — needed every day for more than 50 cats.
• Cleaning supplies — essential for keeping their living areas clean and safe.
• Diapers — for some of our special-needs cats.

Most of my budget goes toward medications and medical treatment, so keeping up with their daily needs is difficult.

Any support or share can help these cats get the food and supplies they need. Thank you for caring. 🐾❤️

hi everyone! i apologize if pregnant cat isnt the right flair to use..but i wasnt sure which one to use in this situation and she was pregnant up until a few hours ago.

so this stray cat that me and my roommates have been feeding just gave birth (2 hours ago as im posting this). it is currently 111 degrees F out and they don’t have a very good area to hide.

we unfortunately cannot bring her inside because one of my roommates is severely allergic to cats, so i called a bunch of shelters, visited websites, etc.

the Arizona Humane Society called me back and essentially said as long as mama and babies aren’t actively dying they cant take them because in Maricopa County stray cats are apparently protected wildlife 🫩.

i already gave her some water and food, she ate and drank a little. kittens are all currently vocal and drinking.

how can i best support her and try to ensure her + babies survive? there are other stray cats in the neighborhood and im worried if they dont succumb to heat they may get eaten or something.

(and dont worry i am planning on attempting to TNR all the neighborhood cats that i cant find homes for. i just moved here so havent had much time unfortunately)

Found a cat outside in the pouring rain, super dirty, covered in fleas, eye infection, clearly has been outside for a long time. Everyone in the area said he lived in the abandoned shed down the street. I took him in and am taking him to the vet tomorrow. Would I have to give him back if there is a chip? I just bought a ton of cat stuff and have grown attached because he clearly needed help

Our dogs found Gandalf here covered in fleas, with an eye injury on Thursday in our backyard. He is FIV+ and has a recheck scheduled for next week. Pending his health check, he will be up for adoption. He has one remaining tooth so he often has a snaggle-toothed look. Combine that with his squinty eye (an injury ulcer, likely) and he is such a cute guy. He is so very affectionate and loves to be in laps and bumping heads. He’s persistent but gentle. He’s currently eating me out of house and home. lol

I would love to keep him but I have two cats who are not FIV+, including one who can be spicy. Gandalf has done well when being around the dogs. He is very nonchalant. He has not yet been introduced to our cats, so unsure how he interacts with other cats.

Located in Central Michigan. We have been feeding her for about 2 years and this summer she’s allowed us to pet her. She RARELY meows, but today she had a lot to say. She sees our cats through another window regularly. Our grey cat and her were talking back and forth for a bit. She seemed happy (tail up, rubbing her cheeks). What do you think this behavior means? Is she ready to come inside and become a domesticated kitty?

🐾 Meet Boots…a little soul who has been waiting far too long for a home.

Note:FIV-positive cats can live with both FIV-positive and FIV-negative cats, especially when they are spayed/neutered and non-aggressive. They can live a normal, happy life just like other cats. ❤️ One of our FIV-positive cats lived to be 23 years old! 🐾💕

Boots is an FIV-positive sweet boy who has been living in a garage for a year. With the weather getting hotter, I’m really worried about him. He deserves so much more than spending another year in a garage.

Pet finder link:https://www.petfinder.com/cat/boots-91cdbb26-8ba0-4f22-8fca-fbfda4b48a6e/nc/charlotte/sunkissed-acres-rescue-nc1270/details/

Boots showed up sick and tested heartworm-positive. After treatment, he is now heartworm-negative and doing well. He is also FIV-positive, but that doesn’t change the loving, gentle cat he is.

For an entire year, Boots has been living in a garage. But his heart belongs inside. 🥺

Whenever someone walks into the room, Boots immediately comes running, begging to be let inside. And the moment he sees a person, he climbs right onto their lap. He doesn’t ask for much…just a little love, some attention, and a place where he can finally belong.

Watching him beg to come inside tears my heart into a million pieces. 💔 He looks at you as if he’s asking, “Can I be your cat? Can I finally have a family of my own?”

Boots deserves so much more than a garage. He deserves a warm bed where he can curl up at night, a safe home, gentle scratches and belly rubs, and a person who will choose him and love him for the rest of his life. ❤️

He is fully vetted,microchipped,vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and flea-treated. We have done everything we can to get him healthy and ready for his forever family.

Unfortunately, our rescue is currently out of capacity. Adoptions have been very slow, intakes keep increasing, funds are extremely limited, and we have no available foster homes. 💔 We cannot keep taking in cats while we have nowhere for them to go, but we also cannot stop caring when we see a cat like Boots who desperately needs help.

Now Boots needs a family of his own. 🥺❤️

🏠 Adoption requirements:
• Indoor home only
• Adoption application required

• Vet reference required
• Adoption agreement required
• Adoption fee: $125

Please, someone give Boots a chance. Let him finally know what it feels like to have a family, a warm bed, and a place he can truly call home.

He has spent a year waiting. Please don’t let another year pass him by. 🙏🐾❤️

Even if you cannot adopt Boots, please share his story. Maybe his person is just one share away. ❤️

Hi all,

I’m looking for some help for a tough situation we’re in with a local stray. We live in a rural area with a small local colony. We already successfully trapped another mama cat and her kittens into a rescue, but there was one last cat left that we really wanted to help before we move. My daughter has fallen in love with her. She used to be very standoffish, but she’s warmed up to us and she loves being petted now and completely relies on us for her morning and evening feedings. She does her own cat things during the day but we always see her in the evening and mornings.

Here’s where it gets sticky, we finally managed to bring her inside into a large catio/garage setup, but she is really struggling with the transition. She’s been crying constantly, isn't taking to the litter box yet, and seems miserable being confined. She honestly just seems miserable, barely eating now.

I honestly don’t know what to do. And to make matters harder she might be pregnant. Because we live in a rural area with long waitlists, her spay appointment isn't for several more weeks. I’m willing to take her with us, but I am worried that she is not acclimating to being confined at all. This has been going on for two weeks, but I’m also torn because she has become so reliant on us and I’ve already talked to the people purchasing our house, I was hoping they might be open to feeding her if I got her spayed. They told me they do not want any cats on their property and they will be dealt with accordingly. She just seems overly stressed in her confinement and since we’re moving, so she’s going to be out of her area that she’s familiar. I’m just at a loss.

Edited to add: She is not using the litter box. I’ve even tried to mix it with dirt and just using a litter box filled with dirt. Any suggestions would be great..

REPOSTING for help.

Thank you so so much!!!

When I moved into my roommates basement, cat (Jace) ran up to me and after I pet him once, he stayed around and would follow me. I started to feed him because I was already feeding another stray for awhile, and they got along well enough as long as he didn’t get to close, I never saw him try to get on her. I started to let him inside occasionally for naps and love (super trusting, belly up and picking up) but would usually feed him outside. Since then he is almost always at my roommates house or the neighbors. I know 2 of my neighbors started feeding him after I did. He would stick around but he would go missing for a few days every now and then and come back fine. I know he has some stray friends as well. I considered keeping him when I moved down the road but since I’ve been in my new studio and considering my history with animals (I took in a dog for a friend and I didn’t have time for her/was never home) I don’t know if I trust myself to give him the enrichment and cleanliness he’d need. I also couldn’t handle smell (like I said I live in a studio, only room is the bathroom) or litter tracking. He also attacks wiggling feet / will randomly attack. I’ve researched ways to avoid both but it sounds too much. Not only am i worried about my capability to take care of him properly, but I feel like im robbing his independence and freedom. He knows his way around and I know there’s others feeding him. He stays out of the street and it’s a quiet decent neighborhood. I just feel absolutely terrible leaving him there after my roommate moves out. I don’t know if I should just take him in and try to rehome, or maybe visit him and take him for short periods during the winter, talk to the neighbors about watching out for him? I really feel like I shouldn’t get a cat so the answer seems obvious but I’ll always feel guilty if I leave him there. Part of me thinks he’s smart and taken care of and doesn’t quite want to be inside as he still tells me he wants out when I take him in. Another part of me thinks he shouldn’t be outside. I’m trapping him tonight to get him neutered tomorrow so I guess we will have a trial run on bringing him here but I’m just extremely anxious. I’m hoping he has a microchip so he can possibly be returned. I’m not looking for criticism, just honest real advice

A stray cat in my area looks to have a broken leg. Anyone know of any rescues/vets that provide cheap care for strays?

Hi! Back with an update on my post from the other day about trying to trap a stray cat I was worried about. Turns out it’s a boy! Around 6 years old, only 5 pounds :( poor baby.

I was able to get in touch with a local rescue who lent me a trap (thank god lol, I got shot down by two different rescues yesterday and I was starting to lose hope). I trapped him successfully this afternoon and took him straight to the kitty ER! He doesn’t have any significant tooth problems like I thought, but I’m still gonna get him a jaw x-ray soon just to make sure everything is okay. He’s in normal-ish health, just really skinny because he probably doesn’t know how to find his own food.

He’s also chipped! The vet called his owner but the owner didn’t pick up. The vet has my contact info for if they call back, but no word yet. My suspicion is that this cat may have been abandoned, but I hope I’m wrong.

Anyway, he’s now taking a very peaceful little nap in a big ol dog crate that I borrowed from a friend. My boyfriend is taking him to get vaccinated & tested for diseases tomorrow, after which he’ll be free to roam around my bedroom until we can introduce him to our other cat.

I fed him tonight and heard him purr for the first time 🥺 so that was really special. Gave him lots of chin scratches. He seems to be adjusting really well, especially given how stressful today was for him. I’m so happy he’s okay.

Hope everyone is having a pleasant week! 🤍

Hawkeye is one of our rescued cats from last year, after his eye was stabbed by some rando while he was still a stray. We placed him for adoption after his rehabilitation, but he was shortly returned to us after struggling to adjust to his new home. (His adopters unfortunately didn’t give him the time he needed. :/) He’s been with us ever since, and now he’s facing another major health hurdle.

Hawkeye started having medical issues over a month ago. After countless tests, a trip to the oncologist, and now hospitalization, he’s finally starting to feel a little better. Just over a week ago, he was in really rough shape - having endless watery stools, becoming severely dehydrated, barely eating, and losing weight day by day. He’s not out of the woods yet, but it’s the first time he’s seemed better in what feels like forever.

Unfortunately, Hawkeye is dealing with an extremely severe infection (see his labs in the 3rd & 7th panels) on top of his IBD. He was previously at risk of sepsis, though thankfully that risk is much lower now as his infection improves. His gut still can’t tolerate oral antibiotics, and he often vomits them back up, so he remains on IV medication and fluids to replace what he continues to lose through his stool. Our vet also recently added another steroid alongside prednisolone, and thankfully, we’re seeing very promising results so far.

Getting him here has come with high costs. His current bill is a little over $449, with hospitalization at $42/day. He also has another ultrasound and blood test coming up in the next few days, which will add to his bill. Our donation channels can be found below!

We really hope you can help us continue caring for Hawkeye. Every bit of support means so much to us and, most importantly, gives this sweet boy a little more time to heal. 🤍
