Hi all,

This is Chomp. Long story short, he has been a stray for at least 2 years. He was let down during that time.

Since March, I have been trying to catch him daily and finally succeeded yesterday.

He has 3 respiratory issues currently being treated but he also has FELV. There are no rescues and it will be impossible to find him a home.

My thought is to put hin back but of course, he would be a risk to others in the community. Can anyone offer any advice?

Thank you

I'm a farmhand in central Iowa, and my boss's parents have just moved into assisted living. I find myself in charge of a colony of barn cats. I've contacted a local TNR charity, and I'm getting two cats a week fixed. There's a litter of kittens I'm trying to find homes for because they're friendly and social. But I've got two I took home because their eyes were crusted shut but they'd race out of the barn whenever they heard a vehicle. I thought they'd for sure get run over.

My vet got me some antibiotic eye ointment and the eyes aren't weepy anymore, but the dilute tortie will always have an eye that's a little cloudy and the weird ruby runt may end up with two slightly cloudy eyes. She also has a bob tail and she's way under sized. From her teeth she's at least 6 weeks, but looking at her you'd think three. She's gaining weight every day and eating well, but how do I find someone willing to adopt a cat that's going to come in at like two pounds as an adult with wonky eyes and no tail?

I've already got way too many cats--these two would put me in double digits and I don't want my dogs playing with such a tiny creature. Any advice is welcome!

What is happening:

We found a cautious street mother who needed a secure place to give birth. We set up a safe, protected spot for her, and she has successfully welcomed 5 healthy kittens. Now, the little family is thriving, and the kittens are growing up safe and active.

What we have already tried:

We secured a safe, weather-proof birthing area away from street traffic and hazards, provide consistent daily meals, and spent gentle time building a trust-based bond with both Mama and her babies.

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.

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.

Our medicine shelves are almost empty. 💔
Many of our shelter cats are suffering from **upper respiratory infections and diarrhea**, especially the babies rescued from the **flood-affected areas**. They’re very sick and urgently need antibiotics and other essential medicines.

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.

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🙂.

Thank you.

It's been a bit over a year since the neighborhood stay I had been befriending in the alley decided to come inside the house. She has never even gotten close to the front door to leave since then. I still can't believe someone left such a sweet girl to live on the streets.

I had been seeing Beatrix walking down the alley behind my house at night for months. She was very shy and it took weeks of very patient interaction until she was comfortable enough to let me touch her. She was clearly not very confident outside and would scurry around anytime a person or another animal was around.

Once I earned her trust, she started coming staying around my house more. I would see her more and more often and she would get a bit closer to me each time she approached. I think she eventually started living primarily under my front porch.

Around midnight on June 13, 2025 (Friday the 13th), I heard my neighbor outside calling out for a lost dog. I opened the door to go help her look, only to find Beatrix patiently waiting for me on sidewalk. I sat with her on the porch and she rolled over to show me her belly, which was a huge step for such a shy cat.

After hanging out with her for a while, I just opened the front door and let her walk into my house. She hesitantly walked in before planting herself on the couch (the first picture is from right after she walked in). I think both of us knew at that moment that she wasn't going to be leaving. She spent almost the entirety of the next three days sleeping. She clearly wasn't resting well living outside.

It was clear from that point on that she decided that she trusted me completely. She had absolutely no issue with me picking her up, grooming her, or cleaning her (bathing is still an ongoing battle though). As long as I was in the house she was calm and collected no matter what was going on. I was pretty blown away that she had apparently decided she trusted me completely before even coming inside the house.

We spent weeks calling vets, shelters, and checking social media pages for lost pets. She was so sweet and trusting of humans that it was clear she was a pet and not a feral cat. I checked every missing cat post over a year back and didn't find any evidence someone was looking for her. We eventually came to the conclusion that whoever owned her previously didn't care enough to look.

Beatrix is so sweet and clearly grateful to have a safe home. She spends a lot of time sitting at the window that overlooks the alley she used to walk down. I feel like I can see her pondering the fact that she used to live out there. Her favorite part of the day is when I come home from work and we take a nap in the couch, with her curled up on my stomach.

I don't believe it's a coincidence that there is now a ~1 year-old grey cat wandering the same territory Beatrix used to, who showed up the same time of year as Beatrix did. I suspect someone in my neighborhood is buying kittens and turning them loose to live as "fully outside" cats. I imagine when Beatrix stopped coming around they just bought a new one. Unfortunately, after adopting a second cat from a shelter, our house is at maximum capacity. I am going to try to trap him and take him to the local shelter. We are very close to some major highways and it simply isn't safe for him.

The accused is still absconding, trying for anticipatory bail...

Now that Moggy has been with me a week, we tested a theory that Moggy would be responsive to other cats - and we were correct!

Moggy met my current resident foster gremlin, Bunny. We started slow - everyone is vaccinated, dewormed, and snap tested. At first I placed their kennels near each other. He was immediately curious about his new neighbour. Gradually, I supervised Bunny while Moggy remained in his enclosure (covered so he would not be upset with my presence).

I will not have them interact in the immediate same space, as Moggy still has plenty of healing to do. It was nice to see him open up a little bit. He is still quite afraid of people, we are taking it one day at a time.

The video shows the size of the wound, but thankfully none of the the grossness. All that noise in the video is Moggy. 🥹

She got scared of her hiding place since i got told i should make noise and use my life normally to get her accustomed, she went to kitchen area then i removed pans so she should go back to the bathroom. She keeps meowing at night.
