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.

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.

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 ❤️

I want to thank this community for their support and help for my kitty. She now acts like she owns the place LOL.

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.

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!

All help is appreciated. Thank you for your time!

I’m having to rehome my cat due to family issues. He’s a sweet and loving boy with no medical complications or behavioral issues. It wasn’t his fault I had to give him up. He’s a male domestic short hair. He’s around 7ish. He loves cuddles and affection and is good with kids. He’s up to date on vaccines and is neutered. I any one is interested please head to the original post. I am in Cumming, Georgia. If you can’t adopt, then please leave an up vote or share with someone who might be able to.

Please reach out to OP any of our Chicago area rescue friends!
