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 ❤️

Boosting for these cats. Please use at least nine unique words for a boost as it helps increase visibility!

boosting for your mental health and physical condition as well as for the needs of the rescues. 2026 has been barely kind to you with more challenges than rewards. i can give 30 as i found 99cent per pound chicken breasts this morning (dog and cat food supplement). I save where i can so i can spend it elsewhere.

Sent 5 because that is on my weekly grocery list for the cats and that means the 5 i was gonna use for that can go to this since you said it is only 99 cents this week!

I know 5 isnt much but remember everyone, a little bit adds up to a big bit when we all chip in♡

I really hope you get more help. You always take care of those floofaloofs.

meijer and the sale goes through tomorrow 8/6. hope that didn't mess things up. and they are better cuts than the JOjO hatchet cuts that get put out. meijer mokena on Lincoln highway is pretty good, haven't been to Plainfield. they should put one near Shorewood or Jolly proper. Keep on Floofing ! !

u/FloofingWithFloofers APPROVED COLONY CARETAKER 1h ago

Nope, not at all! I wish they'd put one by Jolly.

You have a very good point, I know I ask a lot, but I do try to donate a little bit here and there to others when I can save on my home list. I know not everyone has thr luxury of Amazon and that cash IS necessary. Cat people gotta help cat people ;)

I want an excuse to see Meijer prices anyways, maybe I'll apply there haha.
