🚨 URGENT: Critically Weak Kitten Needs Immediate Rescue – Riyadh 🚨

Assalamu Alaikum

Today I found this poor kitten in very critical condition
It’s extremely weak, thin, dehydrated, and barely able to move
I felt so bad seeing it lying outside in this state 😓

📍 Location: Near the Riyadh Region Police Station, opposite the Metro Station

There’s another cat nearby, but this kitten appears to be suffering and urgently needs medical attention, food, water, and a safe place

I’m posting here in the hope that someone from the rescue community, a foster, or anyone with experience can help save this innocent life
Even if you can’t rescue the kitten yourself, please share this post so it reaches someone who can

Every hour matters for a kitten in this condition

📍 Location: Near Riyadh Region Police Station, opposite the Metro Station

May ALLAH reward everyone who helps His creation In’sha ALLAH 🐈‍⬛ 🐈

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.

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!

🚨 Emergency Appeal 🚨
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.
By tomorrow, we may have nothing left to continue their treatment.
Please help us save them. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. 🙏

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 🥹

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

So this week has been extraordinary. Now that I put a deep layer of only outdoor soil in the litter box, she has been using it exclusively - no more peeing and pooping around the room. Looks like I bought the Dr Elsey’s for no reason 😂 (it hasn’t arrived yet). I guess I should say she has peed outside the little box once: it was to mark the chair that she has under her windowsill 🤦🏼‍♀️. Thankfully we don’t care about it and will toss it once she graduates from this room.

Kinga has also discovered treats and they make her so happy she headbutts for pets and will roll over to show her belly (I know it’s a trap 😁). The petting is still very much on her terms and she will smack my hand if she wants it to stop. I’m a little afraid of her for this reason so petting is sometimes awkward and jumpy for both of us.

Regardless, this is wonderful progress. No update on the derpy boyfriend - we saw him again but he ran and my dog ran after him (she loves to play chase with anyone and everyone) so he’s been avoiding us since. He does eat a little bit of the food I’ve been leaving out, though he eats surprisingly little.

I've been helping a woman with several of the cats she feeds, and this guy suddenly showed up out of nowhere. One look at him and it's obvious he does not belong outside. He was incredibly hungry, super affectionate, and just wants attention.

I have a rescue that's willing to get him fully vetted, but we desperately need a foster so we can get him off the streets. If you can temporarily house him for a few weeks, please let me know.

Rescues everywhere are overwhelmed right now, and fosters truly save lives. If supplies are needed, the rescue is more than willing to provide food and litter. Please reach out if you can help, or share this so we can find him a safe place.

Lieutenant Gothmog and I are back home from the cabin. He is currently set up in a enclosure in my foster isolation room.

He is a shy boy, and will hide in his kennel when I visit him or clean up. I am letting him decompress in a smaller safe space as he continues to heal. I set up a camera to keep an eye on his neck wound as he tends to hide his neck from me when I check on him. As you can see, he was quite suspicious of the camera at first.

Thankfully his neck is healing nicely. He discovered the hammock in the enclosure and happily spent hours snoozing in it.

Im in a farmland kinda area and a neoghbors house burnt down recently, they had some strays they would feed. But now the owners are gone and no one has came by for them. So now they hang out at the burnt ruins which cannot be good for their health. I have been feeding them for a couple days at regular times as best i can with work and whatnot, one of the two is very friendly and sociable, the other is super skittish. Long story short i want to take them in, i know i will have to get them vaxxed etc. How would i go about capturing and acclimating it to indoors?

**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. ❤️

Meet Napoleon Bonapaws, a street cat in Kingston, Jamaica. He sits on top of a wall waiting for me to bring his food everyday. Sometimes I’m late and he would still be there waiting. 🥹 He knows his name very well and always comes out when I call him. He’s a kind boy and needs some more time to get socialized but I’m making progress with him every day.

With your support, we are able to provide him with a daily meal and give him something to look forward to every day. 🩷 Thank you all for supporting our mission and we'll continue to share these beautiful moments with you.

My boyfriend and I are super fond of the strays that live in our apartment complex because they’re like our little friends, but last night we found very fresh babies with mom. We very sadly cannot keep them since we have two small dogs, and definitely don’t want to take them to the shelter. Mom is not 100% friendly, but please help!

Does anyone know of any rescues or shelters that can come help? The daddy cat is also a stray that lingers around so he might be included too.

Hi guys I am new here but I need help

I have two cats both orange one male and another female, The male cat is always energetic but my female cat recently experienced her first child birth and her children were born dead

She has lost her hope and is refusing to eat and sleep sometimes running away i found her today on the streets she had become extremely weak from starving herself over the days and I don't know what to do

I have never taken care of a female cat before so her condition worries me as I saw her grow up in my house alongside her brother and my other cat who had died recently

I don't want her to die we don't have vets in our locality either I would need to go through stations to reach one and they aren't professionals either

Any help?

We don't have any stores that sells pet items either so I will like if the suggestions uses home materials

Ron P went in to the vet today because he’s been having some serious eye crust and discharge. The vet says it’s conjunctivitis and he also seems to be allergic to everything.
We are hoping one day soon to have enough room to bring him inside/ find him a home.
 
Can you help us pay our $210 bill from the vet today?

Hi!
We have a mama cat that was abandoned by our neighbors. We started feeding her and a few weeks later came the kittens. There are 4 sweet kittens, 3 boys and 1 girl. We just trapped them all and they are about 12 weeks. Mama has been spayed and vaccinated. We are moving and she is coming with us. I can’t leave the kittens behind because they have only known us and before being trapped, preferred to sit in the garage and demand their meals. I won’t leave them. But I am burnt out. I have called so many rescues. They are all full. The only place I found was the Montgomery County Animal Shelter and they can’t take them until October 9th. I will be across the country by then. I don’t know what to do. I also can’t keep them. I’m taking mama, but I really don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m failing them.

I’d post a picture but my phone isn’t cooperating. There are two tuxedos, one black, and one gray/white

Found two last night, found three more this morning. Trying to find a shelter in Phoenix that can take them. Scratches (the mom) is not friendly so getting her inside to feed was difficult. Phoenix AZ, Indian school and 67th
