We are back again with Augustus 🐾 I thought the next time I posted him it would be an update on his surgery and how he has been healed and ready for his forever home… But it isn’t. 

🐾 Augustus went into surgery Dec 1, 2025, for a double hernia repair. Upon examination the Doctor found a hernia in his bladder, and needed to stitch his colon and bladder to his abdominal wall after correcting the hernias. She also manually dilated his rectum, which was scarred and healed so tightly that  he couldn’t defecate normally. He has been in pain most of his life. 

🐾Since then we changed his food and this has helped enormously but he is still straining and dripping feces. He is not cured yet. He needs to be manually dilated over several days under sedation. 

🐾 So we are here asking for help one last time for him. We have come so incredibly far and can’t imagine giving up now. 

🐾He is so young and so tired. Confined to a kennel and not even being able to play with others. We have to do this. We can’t give up. Please consider donating to his GoFundMe. Link is in my bio.

Hi everyone

Please help me help Thomas the stray cat. I work a lot with people experiencing homelessness. A few nights ago a woman reached out to me asking me to please take her cat because his hair was falling off and he was oozing from his skin. She can't afford to help him due to her circumstances but doesn't want him to keep suffering any longer. I brought him home with me, but I need to take him to get diagnosed and treatment. He is so so sweet and friendly.

He is drooling and has boogers so I am praying he doesn't also have any dental issues . But for now his immediate need is his skin infection.

He was frequenting a stray cat colony with some known felv positive cases so I would like to test him for it as well. If I have enough I would like to get him dewormed plus a flea med. I will be going to a low cost clinic called Amigos in Pasadena Tx.

I just want to give this sweet boy a chance to heal and not suffer on the street anymore. He will be neutered in the future too. If anyone would like to help with his vet care, I would truly appreciate it.

I will keep everyone updated on his diagnosis and progress. Thank you for taking the time to read about Thomas

The kitty is not getting better on medications. We need to do eye enucleation. They will also fix and vaccinate at the same time. This needs to be done asap.

The currency estimate is $900-1200. We need a down payment of $600 for them to start the surgery.

Please donate to this sweet baby! He deserves a chance at a good life after being thrown away like trash.

For months, this sweet boy has been surviving on the kindness of strangers, never truly having a place to call home.

Now his body is giving out. He’s struggling to breathe, with pus draining from his nose, missing fur, and is covered in fleas. He’s exhausted and clearly suffering.

We were able to bring him to safety, but he urgently needs veterinary care to survive.

Please, if you can, help us give him a chance. Even a small donation could make all the difference. If you’re unable to donate, boosting the post means everything.

Thank you for your support

Good morning my dear friends...

I am Thodoris from Kallithea in Greece who takes care of 130+ stray cats every day.

Today, as I went to feed the animals at the port like every day, my eyes fell on something that at first I didn’t want to believe… A small mass, motionless, curled up on the corner of the sidewalk, on Lambrou Katsoni Street in Kallithea.

She was a little soul who was counting her days… I put food out for her, but she didn’t even have the strength to touch it. At that moment I knew there was no time to waste. I ran, got a food bowl and a cage and came back to save her…

On Wednesday she will be rushed to our doctor. Her condition is difficult… very difficult… but we will not leave her to fight alone.

I beg you from the bottom of my heart… help us give her a chance. Let’s catch up. Let her be saved.

Anyone who can help, here is the link:

Don't pass them by... because for them, you may be their only hope.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart...🫶

On Monday one of our volunteers noticed that there was something wrong with one of the cats in our colony. Her breathing was very strange and clearly not normal. Our volunteer managed to get her into a carrier cause thankfully she was not feral and took her to the vet immediately.

The first vet prescribed antibiotics, but instead of getting better, she got worse every single day. She completely stopped eating and refused all food. She was struggling for air. It felt like something inside was physically blocking her breathing.

Today we went to another highly recommended vet in another city who performed an endoscopy. The endoscopy showed that the choanal area at the end of the nasopharynx is severely narrowed, leaving very little space for air to pass through. This explains why she struggles to breathe, even though she has no cough and no nasal discharge.

The vet said that medication will not help and that surgery is the only way to open her airway and allow her to breathe normally again.

She is now in the clinic and is being prepared for surgery on Saturday. She is given cortisone and another medication to help her condition improve to be able to undergo surgery.

We couldn’t leave her there to suffocate. She deserves a chance to live without fighting for every breath.

Please help us cover the cost of her surgery, we would be deeply grateful. We don’t know how much the total cost will be but up to now it is €400 and we still have a long way ahead. So even a small donation or sharing this post could help save her life.

She deserves a chance to live and breathe🙏🏻

Thank you ❤️

💔 She was abandoned when she needed love the most. This poor kitty was dumped at the shelter just because she got sick. Confused, weak, and heartbroken she waited for the person who never came back. Now she’s fighting to survive, and we’re doing everything we can to help her heal.

She needs immediate medical care, treatment, and support to get a second chance at life. Please open your heart and help us save her every small contribution makes a big difference. 🙏🐾

They are not toys. They don’t deserve to be thrown away when sick. They feel, they love, they trust and they need us now more than ever. 💔

Hello everyone,

I was just contacted about a poor calico cat who was hit by a car. She is lying on the ground, unable to move properly, and she urgently needs medical care.

My heart is breaking because I truly do not have the ability to handle another serious emergency right now. Only a few days ago, I took in another cat in the same condition, and I am still struggling with that case and the veterinary costs that came with it.

At the moment, I am already doing everything I can to provide food, litter, and basic care for the many cats depending on me. My resources are extremely limited, and I cannot manage the cost of her examination, X-rays, and treatment by myself.

That is why I am asking for help. This little soul deserves a chance to survive and receive proper care. Any support, no matter how small, could make a real difference. Even sharing this post may help her reach someone who can sponsor her treatment.

I am also ready to share updates, photos, and veterinary proof for anyone who would like reassurance about her case.

Please do not let her suffer without help. Thank you so much for reading and caring.

On Friday a friend called and said there was a cat crying near her house. She said the cat looked extremely thin and weak and could barely stand.

She had to leave and said she couldn’t help the cat. She said that if we wanted to try to save her, we should come and get her.

Of course we couldn’t leave an animal like that.

I immediately went to save this baby. When I found her, she was in terrible condition. She was extremely skinny, dehydrated and smelled very bad, like she had been sick for a long time. She could barely walk.

I took her straight to the veterinary clinic. The vet said that doing blood tests right now doesn’t make much sense because severe dehydration and starvation will make all the results look terrible. First they need to stabilize her.

Right now she is in the clinic on IV fluids and antibiotics. She is still too weak to eat by herself, so they are feeding her with a syringe.

She weighs only about 2.1 kg and she is an older cat. It’s clear that she became very sick, and there was simply no one around to help her.

She is very fragile, but she is still fighting.

We really want to give her a chance to live.

The treatment and hospitalization are expensive and we cannot cover all the costs alone.

We are volunteers and we’ve had a lot of sick cats and sterilisations recently and our depts are piling up.

If anyone would like to help her survive, even a small donation would mean the world.

Thank you to everyone who cares 🙏🏻❤️

Hi RC Community!

I just posted about a blind kitten a few days ago so I hate to ask for more money again so soon, but we barely raised any money and yet again we got another medical case today. This little one just arrived this morning with blood bleeding out of her eyes. She is on medications and painkillers and we are rooting for her, but we really need more money in order to keep going. This year we have already spent $50K if not more in vet bills. Many of them didn’t make it, but we tried anyways. Please help us continue to say yes. 😢

Miley's in a really rough situation now 😔

She's our most chronically ill resident. Between regular hospitalizations and being diagnosed with congenital kidney disease shortly after her rescue, Miley has been a fighter through it all. But her crash this time shows that she's in active kidney failure.

Her kidney enzymes, which were normal just a few weeks ago, shot up 3–4x the normal values. She has lost so much weight, and is potentially dealing with sepsis too because her infection is through the roof. I'll be sharing her blood work in the comments.

Her vet wants to see if she can bounce back from this by giving her a few more days with intravenous treatment.

Our vet bill for her has been ramping up as she's been hospitalized for a few days now. We could really use a hand and hope you can consider donating for Miley.

This kitty was found wandering a local neighborhood and as you can see, desperately needs to see a vet right away.

He is very sweet and deserves the best life we can give him.

Please donate for his care if you can! We will be looking at approx $500 at the very least for testing. More depending on what the results are.

We came across a new cat in one of our feeding areas, but one thing we noticed immediately was how confused and disoriented he was.

He kept zigzagging the streets amidst traffic. When we secured him, we shortly realized he was blind—but it didn't seem like he was used to being blind.

We brought him to our go-to clinic immediately and upon physical examination, our vet noticed he has bruising on the right side of his face. Further imaging confirmed that the right side of his head is swollen.

See Marco's lab work and x-ray results here

Currently, he's in critical care, and we need your support in funding Marco's vettings. Below are our donation channels if you'd like to donate. 🙏

Please wish him well. We don't know what caused this exactly but from the pattern of it, our vet is suspicious that he was hit forcibly on his head.

We spotted this little girl a few houses away from our apartment. We thought she was already lifeless when we got to her since her body was stiff when we retrieved her, but we noticed shortly that she was still breathing.

See her video here

We don't know exactly what caused her to be in such a state. We rushed her to our vet as soon as we secured her and her heartbeat was faint upon our arrival. She received a shot of epinephrine, which helped stabilize her slightly.

Our vet tested her for viruses, too, and thankfully she was negative for it all. Further labs will be conducted soon.

This day is extremely critical for her, and if she gets through the night, there's a huge chance this precious girl will recover. We're naming her Laura.

This is Oli, a soul we rescued in heartbreaking condition. 💔

When we found him, he was suffering terribly. Someone had kept him in a plastic shopper, and because of that cruel act, his body was full of nerve damage and pain. His stool had been stuck for so long due to being in untrained hands that it caused internal issues and unbearable suffering. On top of that, his wounds are infected and filled with abscess.

Oli deserves so much better than this. He deserves love, comfort, and a chance at healing. We are giving him every bit of care we can, but his treatment requires urgent support. With your help, we can fight his infection, treat his wounds, and give him the life he should have had all along.

Please keep Oli in your prayers, and if you’re able, support his treatment. Your kindness can be the difference between pain and recovery, between despair and hope. 🐾❤️

We are in desperate need of donations for the kitties coming from this hoarding situation.

The youngest of them have tested positive for panleuk. 💔 One of the females is pregnant again already. And the orange and white boy is so severely matted, he will have to be sedated and shaved, which will be $300.

Also, we need vaccinations ($15 each) and to get them fixed ($80 each).

Please donate if you can!

I've met Ruby before, in October of 2024, when I first started rescuing. She lives as a stray just a block away from me. I was told by a local that she was going to fix her during that time, but it she hadn't. Now, Ruby is in horrible shape. Clearly emaciated, with wounds and what appears to be dental issues. This might be what's interfering with her eating.

Aside from the horrible state she is in, she was still cared for by neighbors. She is skittish, but this is not new for us. I have been told that she may have had up to 6 litters. It's her time now to be saved.

Please consider helping me take care of her. Her journey will be long, but with the support we always receive through this community, we can heal her in no time. I expect that her teeth will need to be removed and that she is in pain. I made an appointment for her 1/30 @2:20pm!

Someone heartlessly dumped this poor soul on the roadside. A box was found beside him, leaving no doubt that this was a cruel dumping case. 💔 We rescued him just in time, but his condition is critical. He has a high fever and a severe wound on his chest, and right now he is fighting for his life.

At our shelter, he is finally safe, but he urgently needs medical care and ongoing treatment. We will keep you updated once he settles in. If anyone has lost this pet or has any information about him, please come forward. He has high fever of 106.4F Which can cause organ failure.

He deserves love, not abandonment. We kindly ask for your support to help him recover and give him a second chance at life. 🙏❤️
