Sammy is the cat who fell and broke his pelvis. We rescued him and sent him for surgery. After being discharged, he needed cage rest and was still in pain. Dillion would encourage Sammy and assure him.
Dillion had nerve generation and became bed ridden.
Sammy would stay by him and let him know everyone loves him.
Rescue work can be stressful and even depressing.
But moments like this puts things into perspective.
It is all worth it!

When animals are rescued, they become part of the rescuer's value system and may end up being put down even if they can recover.
That is why this year's Vesak theme is animals as fellow beings. This means we treat the rescued animals with respect and as fellow beings. The approach is to offer them support to get well or be comfortable, not as a "rescue" that we do as we please.
This video for Vesak 2024 explains it.

To celebrate Vesak Day, our message for 2024 is Animals as Fellow Beings. We promote the idea of seeing animal as sentiment beings who has feelings, thoughts...

Our first FeLV+ rescue was Rahula. He recuperated after we rescued him, he lived for another 8 months, and passed away of cancer.
When he was leaving, we told him not to worry about us and to let go of his body. We also tell him we will always love and never forget him.
So when our rescue friends rescued several FeLV cats, we decided to set up a FeLV sanctuary and we named it Rahula FeLV Sanctary in memory of Rahula. We love him and we miss him and the best way to honour him is to rescue other FeLV cats in his memory.

Rahula FeLV Sanctuary was set up in 2020. 2 years have passed by and we take a look at what we have done, our hopes, and revisit the initial motivation to se...

Gold-D wet food and treats are all carrageenan-free.
Recently, we stopped the jelly range because the supplier of carrageenan-free ingredients discontinued it. We have found a new supplier and are evaluating it now.
We have many FIV and FeLV cats and they have a higher chance of cancer. But it is an ingredient that no animals should be exposed to because cancer is usually not reversible by the time we discover it.
We mention carrageenan-free on all of our labels.

Author Ingrid King, who is also a former veterinary hospital manager and veterinary journalist, has expressed concern over the presence of carrageenan.

This is Sawyer T. Rabbit, our cat CEO.
Rabbit is FIV+ and a community cat. In 2019, he was found by a rescue group and they wanted to put him down because they felt he looked very sick and dying. We are against convenience euthanasia so we adopted him. It took a while before he warmed up to us and he bloom into a very adorable, happy and healthy cat.
Today, we are so happy to celebrate his 13 birthday. We got him a longevity peach, a traditional Chinese birthday pastry used for grandparents.
Happy birthday precious Rabbit!

Are FIV+ cats more expensive to care for?
Let John John's story give you an answer.

Many potential adaptors reject FIV+ cats due to concerns of high vet bills.But is this true? Let John John's story give you an answer.

When the Greek fire started, we were worried for the animals but we cant go fight fire. The Rescue groups went in to save many lives. But rescue is only step one. After rescue the animals need to be fed and cared for. So we raise food to support the rescue groups.

WINTER FOOD APPEAL https://gold-d.club/gr-support-vaso.html

Vaso Animal Shelter in Messinia Greece has many animals in her shelter. In addition to her shelter are the stray cats of her town. The Cemetery Stray Cat Colony wait every night for their meal from Vaso who also takes care of any vet visits and medication and neutering but with 65 dogs and 30 cats at her shelter the cats rely on Gold D food donations which they love. The struggles to buy feed are becoming more difficult. There are other stray cats around her town and outside the shelter that she cares for like the two ginger brothers that are inseparable and one will not eat without the other and the cats on the road to the shelter that come running when her car approaches or any cats she’s chances upon that need to be fed. Her car is a mobile food shop. The tiny kittens born to their dumped mothers at the cemetery. They all need love from someone. Their someone is Vaso.
A lone volunteer who has been rescuing for over 20 years now rain, hail or shine and even snow she is there. She now puts out an appeal for cat food. To keep the strays healthy and fed and we ask for your support no matter how small it is it all helps. Winter is coming and they are very harsh with storms, rain,snow,freezing temperatures and winds.
Please like and share the post so that others can see the amazing work Vaso does at https://www.facebook.com/VasoShelter/
We thank you all in advance.

Gold-D FIV Time flies! 10 years ago today, we adopted Ken Ken, our first FIV+ cat. Ken Ken used to be a com cat till someone poured hot liquid on him leaving a big scar. We adopted him because we felt his chance of adoption is quite low. He was such an amazing sweet warm cat and later co founded Gold-D brand with his brother Gold-D. We cannot name it Ken Ken because it was the brand of a snack. Ken Ken passed away in 2017. Beautiful memories of an amazing sweet cat.
