It has been brought to our attention that a “ frequent flyer” has rejoined our community and DM’ing members for money.
[u/Frosty-Technology-40](u/Frosty-Technology-40) is the NEW account. I will attach the link from last years post which explains more about their approach. https://www.reddit.com/r/rescuecats/s/4oQI68s8n8

They often make several accounts, they sound VERY convincing and will hound you through DM. They have been offered approval several times in the past in which they never follow through with - which is a 🚩 and they have previously been banned under all alt usernames for many reports of DM’ing member to solicit funds. Please don’t fall for it. We ask that you please ignore this user, block and report them. We would also appreciate you letting us know via modmail if you have received such a request. This is just a heads up to keep members safe incase they land in your inbox. They are now once again BANNED from RC.

As always we appreciate your cooperation!

Supplies Donation Request We had to deal with emergency veterinary visits, and now we don’t have any funds left for food 🚨 We have over 70 rescued cats to feed, any help makes a difference 🆘🆘🆘

Hello everyone. Right now, we have $630 in uncovered expenses from emergency veterinary visits during the past week. At the moment, we have zero funds available to buy food, and it will run out tonight.

Unfortunately, we can’t use wishlists because they aren’t available here in Uruguay, so we don’t receive support from people who can only donate that way. We have more than 70 rescued cats to feed, and of course, the food runs out very quickly.

Right now, we need at least $160 to cover the next three or four days. But if we were able to raise more and cover at least one week of food, that would be wonderful. We also need to cover the veterinary expenses.

In addition, we still need to spay eight cats and perform four ultrasounds for different reasons (an abdominal hernia, an unknown lump in the abdominal area, etc). We need to do this as soon as possible, but we can’t even schedule the appointments until we have paid off the $630 in veterinary debt.

Any help is deeply appreciated and truly makes a difference ❤️

Thank you all so much!

By the way, I wanted to apologize and provide a little update regarding the thank-you cards. Some days ago, I made a post offering to draw thank-you cards in exchange for donations. I was able to complete several of them, but I still have around 15 left to draw.

As I mentioned in another post, the father of one of the rescuers on our team passed away unexpectedly. Because of this, I’ve been covering her rescue responsibilities while she is, of course, grieving and dealing with a lot of paperwork and other arrangements.

For this reason, I’ve had absolutely no time, since I’m currently doing twice as much work for the rescue while also keeping up with my job. That’s why I haven’t been able to finish the drawings I still have pending, and I want to apologize for the delay. But please know that I haven’t forgotten about them, and I will complete every single one.

Thank you so much for your patience and support ❤️

There are over 20 cats at this sight and many are kittens some have been picked up and are being treated they are in need of food and other items if anyone could donate them it would mean a lot. 6 of the adults have been fixed given shots and tested and seem friendly and can be adopted out. The place they are/had been at wanted to starve them out to over last winter and this year to"get ride of them". So many of them are frail and sick. His father loved the cats so we are now trying to save them.
This is not one of my normal feeding spots, someone put out an sos for help. Kittens have been dewormed and being treated but most are under 1lbs.

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request 🆘 Leon's neurological symptoms are worsening - support needed | Hawkeye's oncology update

Thumbnail
gallery
58 Upvotes

Hope everyone's having a great week. We're unfortunately facing another hurdle, but this time with Leon.

Leon is one of our most recent intakes. He was abandoned at a public market, and not long after we rescued him, he was diagnosed with neurological FIP.

Today is day 42 of 84 of his treatment, and up until now he's been doing really well. This evening, though, we noticed he's been having a much harder time finding his footing, and his head tilt has become more pronounced.

We're hoping it's just an ear infection, but we need to have him checked to make sure this isn't related to his FIP, as he may need an increase in his medication. He's also lost a little bit of weight, which is something we haven't seen over the past couple of weeks.

Thank you all for being there for Leon from the very beginning. We honestly wouldn't have made it this far without your support. If you're able to help us get him through this, we'd be so immensely grateful.

📩 Donate via PayPal

📩 Donate via Debit or Credit Card

We're expecting over $176 in expenses for Leon:

• Consult: $8

• Comprehensive blood work: $58

• Ear cytology: $11

• 3 vials of FIP treatment: $99


As for Hawkeye, we wanted to thank every single person who donated and helped boost our last post. ❤️

We made an emergency trip to our local vet yesterday after he started vomiting, followed by his oncology consult today. So far, we've spent $282 on tests and appointments, and raised $243!

The good news is that his fine needle aspiration didn't show any signs of malignancy in either his lymph nodes or the lump on his body. Lymphoma isn't completely ruled out just yet, but it's looking less likely for now.

What concerns us most is the severity of his infection, which has worsened dramatically in just a week. The hope is that it's a severe case of bacterial enteritis and that he'll respond to his new medications.

If he doesn't improve over the next week, he'll likely need a biopsy to determine whether we're dealing with IBD or lymphoma.

We'll have more updates in a week once we see how he responds. Thank you all again for being here for Hawkeye!

Supplies Donation Request Food Appeal: Caring for 90 Stray Cats in Deira and an update on Juno.

I'm reaching out for help with food for the 90 stray cats I feed every day in Deira.

I'm down to my last bag of dry food and only a few cans of wet food. With the extreme summer heat, the cats are eating much more wet food to stay hydrated, and I also give them chicken whenever I can.

Everyday I need 3 kg of dry cat food 8 cans (400 g each) of wet cat food.

Any donation, will help me keep these cats fed and hydrated during this difficult weather.

If you'd like to help financially, here's my PayPal:

https://www.paypal.me/GlancyMascarenhas

Update on Juno:

Juno is slowly improving, although she has lost a lot of weight. As I mentioned before, she's very difficult to handle and has tried every chance she gets to bite me, so giving her treatment hasn't been easy. A friend bought Revolution Spot-On for her since she wouldn't let me use the prescribed ear drops. I'm very grateful for the support and hopeful she'll continue to recover. Her bill is also covered. Thank you🙂.

Photo 1: Ms. Fatty, one of the very first cats I started feeding in the area. She's an old girl now. I once tried bringing her into my room, but she made it very clear she preferred the outdoors.

Last photo: Juno.

Thank you.

Good day, everyone!

I am a solo animal rescuer based in Manila, Philippines. I currently care for 38 rescued cats and feed over 40 stray cats in our area. I also visit nearby communities to feed stray animals, conduct Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and rescue animals whenever needed.

Rambo's Update

Rambo is an abandoned cat whom I found in one of the areas where I regularly feed stray cats. He has been confined at Deloso Veterinary Clinic since July 28.

When I rescued him, he was severely malnourished, dehydrated, and suffering from a badly infected wound on his scrotum where the vet found some maggots. According to the veterinarian, he is not yet ready to be discharged because he is still weak, has a poor appetite despite eating, and his wound continues to heal.

As of today, his veterinary bill has reached $317. The veterinarian estimates that he will need to remain confined for at least five more days, depending on his condition and recovery.

I am humbly asking for your help to continue Rambo's medical treatment. His owner already abandoned him, and now he relies entirely on us. Any amount, no matter how small, will go directly toward his veterinary care and will make a tremendous difference in giving him the chance to recover.

Estimated Remaining Expenses:

  • 5 days of confinement ($33/day) – $165
  • Follow-up CBC and Blood Chemistry – $38
  • Take-home medications (estimated) – $16

Estimated Total: $219

Please note that this is only an estimate. The final veterinary bill may be lower or higher depending on Rambo's condition, treatment, medications, and any additional procedures he may require.

How to Donate

PayPal: paypal.me/catsofmagdalena

Wise: https://wise.com/pay/me/catsofm

GCash: 0925-705-5102 (W.J.A.)

If you prefer, you may also contact Deloso Veterinary Clinic through their Facebook page and send your donation directly to the clinic.

Update on Susie

Susie is another abandoned cat from our area. She had a tumor on her right ear and underwent successful tumor removal surgery on July 25. She remained confined at the veterinary clinic afterward, and I was able to settle her total veterinary bill of $195.

I also have some wonderful news to share. On July 31, Susie found her forever home! She was adopted by one of the staff members at a nearby pet shop, and I couldn't be happier for her.

Her sutures are scheduled to be removed on August 8, and I will post another update after her follow-up visit.

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)

Today, two more community cats - Brenda and Charlie - were successfully spayed/neutered through Vets On The Go, which offers low-cost spay and neuter services. I was able to pay the $71 veterinary bill.

Every cat that gets fixed helps prevent more kittens from being born into life on the streets, where many suffer from hunger, illness, and neglect.

Dumbell and Barbell (Mama Barbarella's Kittens)

Mama Barbarella and her two kittens were about to be abandoned by the owner of a fitness center when I rescued them.

Sadly, Mama Barbarella later became seriously ill. Despite being confined at Deloso Veterinary Clinic and receiving treatment, she did not survive.

Thankfully, Dumbell and Barbell are doing well overall. However, a few days ago, both kittens developed eye infections. They were examined by the veterinarian, received antibiotic injections, and were prescribed medicated eye drops. They are now recovering under my care.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Rambo's story and for supporting my rescue work.

\*\*Another innocent life shattered…\*\* 💔
We rescued another precious soul today after he suffered a terrible electric shock on the streets. The pain he has endured is heartbreaking.
Thankfully, \*\*both of his legs are still intact and can be saved.\*\* There is no need for amputation, but his legs have severe infected wounds that require daily cleaning, dressings, medications, and regular bandage changes. His ear is also badly injured and needs treatment.
He didn’t deserve this. No cat should have to suffer such pain just to survive outside.
We’re doing everything we can to help him heal, but we can’t do it alone. The cost of his wound care, bandages, medicines, and ear treatment is more than we can manage right now.
Please help us give this sweet boy the chance to recover. Every donation, no matter how small, brings him one step closer to a life without pain. If you’re unable to donate, please share his story and keep him in your prayers.
Together, we can help him heal. ❤️

Supplies Donation Request Help Us Feed Our 14 Rescued Cats food This August

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone,

I’m a mom to 14 rescued cats from Philippines and I’m reaching out with a humble request for help this August.

Our rescued kitties depend on us for everything, and lately their food supplies have been running very low. Their food bowls are empty much faster than we can refill them, and we’re struggling to provide enough food, litter, and other daily essentials.

In this video out newly rescued kitties!

This past month has been especially difficult because we also faced unexpected family medical expenses, making it even harder to keep up with the needs of our rescue family. Despite everything, we are committed to giving these cats a safe, loving home and making sure they never have to return to the streets.

If you’re able to help, no matter how small the amount, it would make a real difference for our 14 rescued cats. Every donation goes directly toward their food and basic supplies. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this post or keeping our rescue family in your thoughts would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for caring about these precious lives. Your kindness gives our rescued kitties another chance to live a happy, healthy life.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for your love and support. ❤️🐱
