❗ URGENT REQUEST FOR DOG/CAT CHOW FOR BOTH MY RESCUES AND STRAYS
I am all out as of today...😭 ❗
PLEASE HELP AND PLEASE SHARE...
There is only so much I can do as one person and getting through each week's feeding is so challenging amidst everything else on my plate..

So if you would like to donate towards the furbabies food, there are a couple options:

- you can do an online transfer and I can go purchase what is needed. Kindly Whatsapp me 362-7454 for account info. I prefer to have a one on one exchange when doing so, and not to just post up details.

- you can purchase yourself any of the brands in the pics below.....the Three Cats brand is also used but couldn't get a proper pic. All these brands work best for the rescues without any issues, and then we can arrange to meet at a mutually convenient time and location...

- you can go to any of these establishments listed below and pay for the items, and I can then go to collect. Some also offer online purchases. Please send me a Whatsapp 362-7454 to let me know you have done so.
Nala Bear Pet Supplies - The Cat Store TT (online)
The Pet Club in Chaguanas
The Wagg Bowl Petstore in Debe
The Pet Village LTD. in Grand Bazaar
Milo's Pet Emporium in St James (they deliver as well)
Jai's Pet World in St John's Village
Top Dog Pet store opposite Gulf city Mall

Thanks so much 🙏

‼️LOOKING FOR CAT LITTER CONTAINERS‼️
I have always been one to recycle and give new life to what others would throw away...In this regard, I would like to make a wall of these to provide another area where the rescue babies can snuggle in when they feel like. Used but still usable bedding, blankets and towels are also welcomed. Feel free to Whatsapp me 362-7454 to arrange to collect.🙏

You really lucky when your rescue mummy got you a sofa bed all for yourself...I'm certain Lucky really feels he won the lottery...rescued as a pup dumped on a long lonely road, in awful condition to living his best life! Noone ever adopted him, as with so many of my other rescues so he remained with me. Can't imagine life without him ❤️

Once again the cats at Caroni Bird Sanctuary are the hot topic in everyone's mouths...ppl who have NEVER even stepped foot there quick to punish/kill the cats, when they have NO IDEA how much time and effort has been happening years now to alleviate the situation, how many have been successfully spayed, neutered and rehomed since 2017 on my part as well as others. how over half of my own current rescues, the so-called "feral" cats I have at home, are from Caroni...
I don't agree with the picture being painted, but regardless the bottom line is HUMANS made it how it is and continue to be the problem, unless certain measures are put in place by the powers that be...
later today I will be adding my 2 cents to the mix🙏

It has really been a struggle these past weeks mentally, physically, financially, but today I truly feel defeated...
I as one person do ALL l possibly can to care for all the rescues in my care as well as my outside stray babies, but feeding by itself adds up to so much, besides all the other necessities and huge vet bills... right now I feel like I'm drowning..
And as if it couldn't get worse, I just found out some info and I feel like my heart can't take anymore...i honestly can't handle any more animals right now but people so quick to kill living beings when they are not to blame for their situation 💔 If only more would DO, starting from the top!! I really feel like giving up 😔 Please if you are in a position to help...does not specifically have to be me but any rescuer, please do...whether it be with food, supplies, vet bills, fostering, adopting...every bit makes a difference because the few that actually do something are beyond overwhelmed 🙏

🎉UPDATE 🎉

I was informed Daisy was taken to her new home and seems quite happy. Thanks to all who shared and reached out 🙏❤️

‼️URGENT‼️
Sharing for someone who reached out. Her owners moved and abandoned her (white doggie in the video and a pic in comments.). She needs a foster or forever home ASAP else she will be taken to TTSPCA on Wednesday.
She is 5 years old. Located in Barataria. Please reach out to 684-6072 if you can assist, or please share. Daisy needs your help. Unfortunately I cannot take in any more at this time.

For all my furbabies who have crossed the rainbow bridge over the years...I live in the hope that one day we will meet again 🙏 Hope there is enough space...gonna be a HUGE reunion...until then enjoy your wings...always in my heart...each and every one ❤️🐾🌈

LATE POST but so happy that these babies are enjoying their new houses 😍
I was so pleased and would like to thank My Rustic Shop for these awesome handmade recycled kennels. Make sure to check out the page to see lots more of what they can create👌
I was able to get 1 small and 1 large, which I actually ended up splittng up the large one into 2 pieces. And as you can see from the pics, the recipient rescues are all smiles...they are free to go in and out as they wish...not chained or kenneled...just an additional safe space for them to shelter and rest in.
Would like to thank those kind people who donated towards these kennels, and my awesome bff who always has my back, for taking time out of his busy schedule to transport them to me 🙏
Ideally I would really like to get at least 2 more kennels, and one slightly customized cat house in the near future. If you would like to contribute, you can Whatsapp me (868) 362-7454 ❤️🐾

Remember be kind to animals, if you can't help them, please don't hurt them, and we can all make a difference! Thank you 🙏🐾

‼️Sharing again for those who missed it‼️

PLEASE understand that I have way SURPASSED what a normal human being can handle physically, financially and emotionally (as it does take a toll mentally as well) at this time.
I NEED HELP...NOT MORE CASES 😔
It is very heartbreaking for me to say I can't assist at this time when ppl call and message, but I have to put all those I have presently under my care at the forefront, till I can get a handle on what I have to deal with presently...PLEASE RESPECT THIS 🙏

LONG POST BUT PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ

On World Mental Health Day, let me share a little perspective from the life of a "rescuer"...
Most ppl who I know who rescue are ordinary people, but have extraordinary hearts. However the situation is so out of control that everyone is overwhelmed and suffocating...
My personal situation is that I have 80+ animals at home...I DO NOT have a shelter. Each of these furbabies were rescued - some I brought back from literal death - and all require the basic necessities such as food, vet care such as vaccines, tick and flea treatment, etc which of course has a cost.
Helping Paws is ONE person...and on top of these rescues, I daily care for over 100 other animals at different locations from south, central and north. This means daily in between my duties of being a working single mom, I do all I can, drive up and down the highway, back and forth in between work and kids and animals, respond to messages on all social media platforms in as quick a manner as I can, answer calls for help and endure heart breaks, exhaustion and due to my most recent fall and accompanying injuries, lots of pain...

On top of this I have animals in boarding..some since last year...5-figure vet bills and I use multiple clinics...I CANNOT DO ANYMORE AT THIS TIME...the mental toll this is taking on me is a lot and I cannot afford to crumble due to all of these living beings depending on me, but I honestly feel like I'm fighting a losing battle.
So please understand I CANNOT take on any more...
I NEED homes for some of the rescues I have especially those in boarding.
I NEED to make some sort of headway in clearing my huge vet bills.
I'm always in need of help with food and cleaning supplies for all the animals in my care and my stray babies.
I also am still in the process of working on making the areas for the animals at home more comfortable and need to do proper fencing, as where I moved to earlier this year is in need of work to make it more secure for them.
So please reach out if you can assist me in any way Whatsapp (868) 362-7454 and please do your part...help where you can...
If you see an animal in need, HELP...
rescuers do not have super powers, do not have unlimited finances, not to mention the physical aspect for those like myself who house their rescues at home...
Also spay and neuter your own pets, strays in your area, help others with their pets if you see they may not be able to...we can all make a difference and ease the burden...🙏🐾

One of my many rescues who never left...Lucky was rescued in 2020 and living his best life.. Always concerned about me and always so happy to see me, like everytime is the first time ❤️
This was when he was rescued https://www.facebook.com/share/p/boDpCckzwF9ifJ5z/

Please support 🙏
Food, vet bills, spaying/neutering, flea/tick treatment, vaccines, general cleaning supplies...it all adds up and is a lot for me as one person to cover, especially in my present state...Any help is welcomed, needed and appreciated, else tough decisions will have to be made on my part 😔

Remember this sweetheart? Maui wishing everyone a happy Sunday!! This is why I do what I do and push myself to the limits...they all deserve that chance. 😻 🙏

DOWN BUT NOT OUT...MY BABIES GIVE ME STRENGTH BUT IT'S TOUGH🐾❤️
Yesterday was 3 weeks since my really bad fall, where I had to be rushed to hospital by ambulance, sustaining multiple injuries including a bad lash to my head which could have been fatal from the height I fell.
It has been a battle since then...unable to function properly, severe pain about my body and my neck and head...I had a previous neck injury which I have to live with, so this fall just exacerbated my daily pain 😔 BUT Helping Paws is solely me caring for over 80 animals at home, plus over 100 strays from south go up the highway daily, and this is done 95% out of my pocket.I am very grateful to the couple ppl who never forget me monthly, and their contribution does help, but I have so much to cover weekly that I feel I'm losing the battle tbh. I honestly am feeling quite defeated right now and really trying hard to push forward to continue, but not being able to generate income as a result of my present condition is adding to my stress and worries 😭
Please consider donating if you can whether food wise or towards huge vet bills (I have animals in boarding for more than a year). However my most urgent need is always food for the furbabies. The following link https://www.facebook.com/share/p/xEvz6hFS75XCw5pp/?mibextid=oFDknk
shows the brands I use and places that you can utilize to purchase, or if an online transfer is easier, please Whatsapp me 362-7454 for that info, or if willing to donate towards outstanding vet bills, I can also forward the relevant info. I may have to make some very tough and heartbreaking decisions if my condition doesn't improve, but hoping for the best. 🙏

The one and only Dr Raymond Deonanan
I have used many vets over the years for my rescues but after finding him, the rest is history 👌There is no other like him that I have encountered thus far....always going above and beyond for animals, and never ever turned me away in times of need. Thank you doc for all you do. Animals have a chance at life because of you and I am truly grateful for your support in my effort to make a difference as well. I fully endorse and highly recommend 🙏 🐾
