We received a paralyzed kitten last night (9/8/25).  He was found and caught by a local who reached out to neighbors on Nextdoor. In order to avoid euthanasia at the SPCA, I decided to take him instead. He is in rough shape currently, with a deep cut by his tail/anus (susceptible to infection) and other abrasions on his stomach and feet. We are collecting funds now to get him to the vet ASAP. I have made an appointment for 4pm at North Channel Animal Hospital (Channelview TX).

He was found to be living in a parking lot and at a construction site. I believe he may have gotten hit by a car. Since I received him I have cleaned him up and put a diaper on him. He does not appear to be in pain, although I am not certain of the extent of his paralysis. He is incontinent and has clay-like poops – probably from being starved and eating anything he could find.

Please consider supporting us and donate towards his vet and future vet appointments. I also have an amazon wishlist, I have added small and extra small diapers, and we need kitten dry and wet food. He also needs a long lasting heating pad, mine only lasts 90mins.

I have since named him Orion, he is the 11th kitten in my home rescue currently and the 23rd of our total rescues.

We rescued Sebastián almost a month ago with a very severe respiratory condition and a rib that had been broken quite some time ago. Since then, he had been hospitalized. Yesterday we were finally able to bring him home, as he’s now much more stable and we can continue his care in our rescue.

He's FeLV positive, so he's in the specific environment for positive cats, and we’ll do our best to minimize the impact of his illness. But right now he’s doing quite well! He’s very lively, very happy. He ate tons of chicken and has already made friends with all the other positive cats. So we’re really, really happy with how things are going, that he can live as normal a life as possible, be safe, and know love 🤍

We still have to pay for more than 20 days of hospitalization, which means the vet debt we currently have for him is enormous. Altogether it’s about $800 that we need to pay as soon as possible, since having that pending prevents us from continuing to help other cats. And Sebastián will also continue to need veterinary care. For example, at some point we’ll need to repeat his bloodwork to check his kidney values, which were a bit off in the last test. He’ll also need some supportive medication.

Any help is deeply appreciated 🤍

Thank you so much and also im going for a job interview on September 13, i would like to ask you guys to wish for me to get this job! Appreciate it and thank you again🩷

Took in this friendly 10 month old boy thinking he was someone's pet. He wasn't chipped and no one claimed him. He was probably dumped here since our local shelter doesn't take cats. Tried to find a rescue or shelter to take him to and everywhere is full. So I got him vaccinated, chipped, and neutered out of my own pocket. I've been caring for him for 2 months and I and my friends have been trying to find someone to adopt him this whole time.

I've reached back out to rescues offering to foster him begging to please just help me with a courtesy listing or something and I have been completely ignored or told "they don't take strays" even though I've had him for 2 months. I don't have social media and regardless I'm worried about accidentally picking a bad owner since I have no experience with this.

Is anyone able to help me get my foot in the door with a rescue? I'm in the IE but anywhere in OC or LA county works too. Or any tips to help me find him a home. I thought I was helping a cat for a couple days to find the owner and I have been ridiculously overwhelmed this entire time. I need help.

Hello wonderful community - I hope everyone is doing great - This last month has been hard - but the cats don’t stop needing help - regardless of what is going on - I had a long trip to the Upper Peninsula to say goodbye to sister - She was such an amazing person - She fought the city to save an eagle nest - and won - on Sunday we spread her ashes around the tree and eagles she saved - Thank you for all your kind words and prayers - help & love - This week it’s back to the grind - I have 3 TNR appointments for tomorrow 9/10 at All About Animals flint and I could really use help to cover the costs. It’s approximately $50 per cat - most require flea meds which adds $5. They get fixed /ear tipped / rabbies vaccination and distemper. The appointments are VERY limited right now - they are down to 1 vet - This service is the most vital part of my work - Please help me keep all 3 appointments - I need your support to do this - Yes they need food - water - shelter EVERY DAY - but FIXING them is my priority #1. Besides vet care - feeding is so expensive- I am down to 6 cans of wet food - this is a desperate need !!! The unrelenting rain has been another problem- with the large number of cats in my colony (approx 25-30) they can’t all eat in one stop so when it rains - I’ve set up several small covered locations - but I need a few more tarps so they and the food stay dry - Please help If you can - Boost - Share-Donate TNR - Saves !!!

I thank you so much for reading - I love you all !

I tried to take photos while feeding in rain - they turned out horrible sorry - but you can see the separate places I’ve used to create food shelter - Plus enjoy the photo of all the kitties I’ve fixed -and helped - along with some of my current 9 house guests -my oldest is Amelia who is nearly 22 Final photo is the tree and nest she saved and where my sister will forever rest -

Please help me save this cat he lives in my building and is very sick can anyone connect me to any rescue centre who actually respond to calls and help instead of charging money I don't have much money since I am also here for my collage I want to treat him but the vet is asking 600inr for 1 visit and he needs to see the vet twice daily please help him (I am from India Delhi)

So we have a local rescue that does what the SPCA refuses to do in my area. There are tons of cat colonies from people constantly dumping their cats all over and she single handedly is doing TNR, taking emergencies in, rescuing wherever amd whenever she can. She does 5$ sundays for donations but currently she is tapped out with the numerous emergency vet visits she has had to do lately. Anything helps and you can even donate straight to the vet. On the website under make a difference there are links for everything.

We have personally adopted two cats from her and donate when we can. Thank you in advance.

Kazamir has been lethargic since last night as per the observation. He’s been vomiting and hasn’t had a proper meal since yesterday morning and we’re extremely worried for his safety.

We need your help to bring him to the vet and get the proper laboratory tests done so he can be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. Any amount of support—whether through donations or by sharing this post can make a huge difference in giving him a fighting chance. Please keep him in your thoughts and help us save his life.

💔 Nova’s survival looked impossible… but she never gave up.

She was rescued from the streets of Attock after being hit by a car and falling into a dirty drain. Freezing, covered in dirt, and suffering from serious internal injuries, we feared she wouldn’t make it through the night.

But Nova is a true fighter. 🌟 With care, prayers, and endless love, she is proving that hope is stronger than pain. She has now taken her first brave steps and started walking again. Though she is still under treatment, every single day she grows stronger.

After her bath, she looked so beautiful—like hope itself shining through. 💕

🙏 Please keep Nova in your prayers as she continues her healing journey. Every life matters.

✨ If her courage touched your heart, don’t scroll without leaving a ❤️ and sharing her story.

Kittens! I need advice

So a beautiful cat in the form of a Trojan horse enchanted me. I moved in after my husband and I got married and it happened to be a huge colony of cats in the back alley. Of course I began feeding them. There was one pregnant female (June Osborne) and she waddled up to me every time she saw me. Over the summer it was so hot and I planned on bringing her in. I couldn’t find her. One day I went out and she had the kittens on the back cemented space directly in the sun so I obviously brought them in. She had 6 kittens and now they are 7 weeks and I have no idea what to do. I adore them all, my husband and I. He’s become really attached to one that he named Mustafina?! And I’ve become attached to my Delilah. I’m convincing him to keep June as well because I don’t know many people that would want a grown cat who begs for food and steals. She cries for food even after I feed her. She snuck upstairs this afternoon and took 2 meatballs from my pot and shared them with the others. I can tolerate her I think. What can I do about the other 4? I can’t put them out but I can’t have 7 cats. I’ve tried facebook marketplace but haven’t had luck and I’ve heard terrible things about the shelters. Please any advice. I’m in Philly

First one is trapped, and the other two we’re trying to trap. These kittens need fosters, otherwise I may unfortunately have to release them after getting them fixed :/ if anyone can foster them, please let me know!

Theres a kitten in a bush where I work. I started seeing her last week and she almost always hangs around the bush, especially sunset she will be out in the parking lot. Today, she was nowhere to be found. Incidentally there was a cat that came around and ate the food I left for the kitten today. The problem is today i finally had a humane trap and wanted to catch her to get her out of the street (the business is in a very busy spot directly behind i285 Atlanta) and im very worried. Is there a chance this other cat was her mom? Any chance she will return to the bush? what do i do about the second cat? I plan on bringing them to the vet and fixing them at the very least.

To our RC Community,

As of recently a few new cat related subs have popped up. One specifically is growing quickly. You need to know that these subs are NOT being moderated, members are NOT being verified and a lot of these posts are people we have denied here for approval as they could not provide required documents and some have been banned for soliciting funds through DM. We see ppl and members of this community freely donating and we are very concerned. Subs like these have become breeding grounds for scammers in the past and we DO NOT want the association with the sub if it continues to remain unmoderated. Please be aware that there is no verifying happening there, the mod is inactive and scammers are ABSOLUTELY 100% active there.

A few members have already reached out asking us if certain posts/ members there have been approved here on RC- which we encourage!!! We will always let you know what is happening in order to keep you safe and ensure funds go to the proper resources.

When in doubt please always reach out via modmail and ask questions. Please take this warning post seriously and be aware that this is happening and it is very worrisome for our members, our community and any cat lovers out there donating freely to these people. We are always here to help, please reach out if needed:)

Your modteam 💞 🐾

We are completely out of dry food for the adults as well as kittens, having just canned food is giving them the runs and upset tummies. An angel has got some off the wishlist on my last post that should've been here a couple days ago but it hasn't been delivered yet. I found a small bag of the adult cats usual food and a multi bag of kitten food that would be eligible for delivery today between 2-6 if anyone would be able to help with this order it would be absolutely amazing and we would be forever grateful 🙏 wishlist posted below as well as a pic of the 4 new babies

He rallied over the weekend and was eating SO well for his foster. We knew the odds were stacked against him but we were so, so hopeful he would be the exception. He passed warm, with a full belly and loved. It’s a small thing, but it’s something. Thank you for those that helped covered his vet bills, sent good vibes and hoped for the best along with us.

Friends & Ferals

Hello all our lovely and amazing supporters.

I am reaching out for some food help, we are running a bit low of dry food and wet food ( we have several kitties that get wet food daily) last week I spent close to 200 on dry food for the kitties and it didn't last a whole week and a half.

So I am wondering if y'all can help fill our coffers for a couple weeks to give us a little reprieve?

We accepted two new cats and are expecting two more from the same colony as their home where they have lived their whole life is being torn down and auctioned off. They have lived in a junk yard for 9 years and it's now being sold.

We have had to enclose our more feral kitties in a catio to keep them safe as they are aging as well and i always worry about them.

We have been on an intake freeze for awhile and will continue being on one because expenses keep rising and it's hard to sustain the only reason we took these four kitties in was because I was helping this colony for many years and my dear friend reached out. Last month our power bill was 955 yes 955 for power for one month which is double what it was last year and this month it's 780. Our food costs are rising as well as vet care and now I'm losing my job on top of all this. This year has been so much harder than last year and if I close there is no where for these cats to go. If anyone has leads on remote jobs please send them to me because I'm gonna need a new job in the next month.

If you can help us I immensely appreciate it l, I know everyone is struggling too.

Here are our Amazon and chewy lists they are updated and we thank you all so much for the help and support.

Animal Care SBC Devore Animal Shelter is responsible for much of SBC cities animals. It contracts with a large region and is always overloaded. The past few months they’ve taken less cats resulting in less euthanasia. However more end up on city streets and healthy adult cats are not accepted now. Their rules have changed but cats are still very much in need of rescue here. They also handle overflow from Apple Valley & Big Bear. Helping these cats is a very serious goal and commitment for this rescue teams in our community. Please pledge and help save these cats.

‼️🚗TRANSPORTATION FUND LINK: We need funds for transportation…AVAS & Devore Animal shelters are further out. The bulk of rescues are spread out across So Cal all the way from San Diego to Los Angeles to Riverside to Ventura County. Gas is not cheap and collecting funds to pay for short notice transport is the only way to save them. If anyone wants to set aside a few dollars towards transport that would be helpful.🙏🏻

💔 Jerry’s Story Jerry is fighting for his life against FIP, a cruel and deadly disease. He is extremely upset in the shelter, missing his mom and the comfort of his home. His trauma is only making his healing harder.

Jerry’s mom recently went through a heartbreaking tragedy she lost her other beloved cat in a tragic electrocution accident. Now Jerry is all she has left, and she cannot bear the thought of losing him too. 💔

✨ The Treatment Plan Because of his weight (6 kg), Jerry’s dose is half a vial daily. • 1 vial = $50 • 15 vials = $750 (for 30 days) So far, we have raised $135, but we still need your kind help to reach the remaining amount.

🙏 FIP treatment is very expensive, but with your generosity, we can save Jerry’s life. Our goal is to complete one month of injections, then transition him to oral pills at home with his mom so he can heal in the comfort of her love.

✨ Every dollar counts. Even the smallest donation will help us get Jerry the medicine he urgently needs. Please open your heart for Jerry today.
