🚨 URGENT: Rescue, Foster, and Pledges Needed 🚨

A young group of five made themselves known to a Good Samaritan. She and a neighbor have been feeding them faithfully. She was able to vet and find homes for two of them on her own, but she needs assistance with the remaining three.

Hollyhock:
A very affectionate boy who is desperate for a safe place. He reaches through the crate for attention and never uses his nails. He asks for head rubs, belly rubs, and especially face rubs. He’s licked me, climbed into my lap, makes biscuits, and even lets me pick him up. This boy is a total sweetheart who should not be in danger.

Hemlock & Dahl:
Both allow head and back pets during feeding. They do not hiss, swipe, or bite even when startled. Their temperaments are very similar to their other littermates who have already been rescued and socialized successfully. These two show strong potential and just need a chance.

📍 Location:
New Britain

💙 What’s Needed:
A rescue to take them
A foster willing to open their home
Pledges for vetting

These boys have already shown they want connection. Please help get them to safety.

Regarding Oakville cats (over 20): There was almost $800 in pledges for vetting, but very few people have honored their pledge.
So far, despuratehousecats has gotten 4 cats vetted. Please kindly honor your pledges, so that we can continue getting medical care for this colony.
We do not receive grants or monetary support. We pay for everything out of pocket, and it adds up quickly! The adoption fee does not cover vetting. We’re always in the red.

‼️ 4 Cats in Need of Rescue, Medical Care & Support ‼️

A kind resident has been caring for several abandoned outdoor cats in Waterbury, CT. They’ve been left behind by former owners and are now struggling to survive, especially with winter approaching. Food and resources are running out, and at least one cat is seriously ill.

Meet the Cats:
🐱 Momma Cat – Black and white, silky short fur, petite and very friendly. Has had multiple litters back-to-back. Believed to have worms and is very thin.
🐱 6-Month-Old Kitten – Black and white with specks of white; Momma’s baby, in decent shape but likely also has worms.
🐱 Charlie – Adult male, mostly black with some white. Suffers from severe respiratory illness (loud breathing, coughing, sneezing fits). He’s semi-feral but has grown to trust his feeder. Urgent medical attention needed.
🐱 Newly Dumped Cat – Friendly but extremely hungry; recently abandoned and now waits daily for food.

Background:
These cats have been living outside for about a year. A kind neighbor has been feeding them nightly for months but sometimes can’t afford cat food. The “owners” moved away two months ago, leaving the cats behind. The situation has worsened as temperatures drop and illness spreads.

Needs:
Rescue placement or foster offers for Momma, her kitten, Charlie, and the new arrival
Immediate vet care for Charlie (respiratory distress)
Cat food donations and/or materials for outdoor shelters

Location: Waterbury, CT

Please ONLY USE STRAW FOR OUTDOOR CAT SHELTERs. No hay, no fabrics..

A kind resident has been caring for this friendly male cat (~4–5 years old) who was abandoned and has been living outdoors. She is ready to adopt him, but he urgently needs medical attention before he can safely come inside.

Condition:
🚨 Limping, front paw swollen, raw, and bleeding
🐾 Wound appears infected, though he can still bear weight
🍽️ Eating and drinking normally
💗 Has outdoor shelter and daily care, but needs vet treatment soon

The finder has been feeding him for months and can trap and transport him to a vet. She is asking for assistance with medical costs — including care for the injured paw, neutering, and basic vetting (deworming, vaccines).

Location: New Haven, CT
