The Darling Kittyland Love Sanctuary

Cats never forget your love, whether they are big or small. ❤️❤️❤️
So don't neglect the cats around you, even if they are not your pets. Feed, water and protect them from dogs and other predators!
They will be strong one day, and maybe look after you to say "thank you"... 🥰🥰🥰

This is especially true in Asia, Philippines and Indonesia. These are the regions I have seen such neglect of cats that makes us (Cel and Tobes) so sad :(

Sorry for the lack of updates - I (Tobin) am in the UK now, we have 2 rescue cats here, we have had them for 7 years now! They both got fat when I was overseas with Maricel! :D

Maricel, my partner in this venture (and in life) is working long hours in a job so doesn't have the energy to post stuff. I am not surprised - I used to work 16 hour days in my 20s but I am bit older now... :D

The cats we have are all still happy and healthy though, I make sure that they have enough food (via Maricel and her brothers) and she cares for them (or they care for her) when she has time! :)

Unfortunately the 5 rescue kittens we got from Pasay, Manila all died in the end. They were too young and riddled with disease, we kept them going for a few weeks but they couldn't cope without a mother, even though Maricel was feeding them, caring for them, we got medicines to treat them, but it was too little too late, I think. At least they had a few weeks of happiness in their lives :)

Gladys' kittens playing in their box. Naughty kittens - they are supposed to be having a nap (siesta)!
Hillary is being a good girl though, snoozing away from the boys 😊
Why is she called Hillary? She was the first kitten to become mobile, climbing up things like crazy even before her eyes were open 🥰 so I named her after the first recorded man to climb Everest (even though technically Tenzing was there first) :D

The two little kittens died . When I went downstairs to check them they already cold due to their constant poo and p*e. 🙂😢
It was heartbreak seeing them , one of them is also cold and but she's still breathing so I wrapped her and embrace her to give her warm with my jacket poor kittens. Hopefully she will survive, the three left kittens I name them (river, lake and ocean)❤️ ❤️ ❤️😇😇😇 little angels, I pray that they will survive in just few weeks before they can eat solid foods🙂 but the two of them departed already.
I name those two( water, and filan2) but they died. I'm very sorry 🥺😢🙂
River is the one who survived despite that she's also cold. It's very hard to accept because I wanted them all to lived, but even just a hour of my rest they are already pooing and p*eing. That's why mommy cats is what's the kittens needed😢😢😢
I'm very sorry for that news.

Here's one of our latest little squeakers feeding. I think that they are now nearly 3 weeks old - we rescued them over a week ago (Sunday 10 March) and they were moving around already, climbing out of their box but not going very far. Luckily! It was a busy, dangerous street and sidewalk - the busiest in Manila, I reckon.
So I think that they were about 10 days old. Their owner must've got fed up with them as they were moving around and just dumped them in a shoebox, tucked against a shutter for a shop :(

As you can see and hear, they still need feeding by hand (as their mother is not around), and they feed and squeak a lot! And p*e and poo a lot, too...

But, they are so, so cute! 😍 How could anyone be so cruel to them?

Hello guys I would like to continue the story of the kittens

The continued story of the five kittens that we found in manila.

Re: The vet immediately donated milk and two syringes (for feeding), the kind lovely lady who did not hesitate to offer us milk for them to ease the hunger of the little kitcats, she reckons they are only 1 week old.
*(Tobin edit): her name is Eileen and she runs the animal clinic just around the corner from our guest house in Pasay, Manila.

And she refused to take them in herself as she has 16 cats in her place already 🙂
Fair enough, I have 30 before but maybe not 30 now?
Then as we started to feed them me and my husband went inside The Courtyard, where we stay, to get a warm water and spoon to stir the milk in waxed paper coffee cups that we got from Tagaytay! (Tobin: we knew that they would be useful at some time in our little adventure!) because they don't have glasses for the guests and the breakfast mugs have been put away!
Then while me and my husband are feeding them, interested/ nosy kids came to check on what we are feeding, some of them are curious, some of them are amazed, and some are just thinking what cute toys???

Then after we fed them we decided to put them just outside the gates of The Courtyard as we are not allowed to put them inside.
In the meantime we went to eat Korean food in a little place about 5 minutes away, in cerntral Pasay. It was super tasty and cheap. I love what we order: in our way back the kids telling me that one of the kids kick the box and step on one kittens head, and put them inside the very tight area next to a car!!! 😠😠😠 It made me angry! I told my husband to help find a towels but they were so expensive! Manila, why your towel is expensive???🙄
And then me and my husband find the place where local told us that behind the bus station is the cat rescuer, which not, it doesn't exist at all!
As we get back from the alley way, I saw a store who sell second hand clothes, I immediately went inside to check if they have towels. I did not see any towel at all, then I spotted a red warm jacket, an ideal to put the cats inside.
As we are nearly in the courtyard where are staying, I grabbed the kittens and put them inside that jacket and straight to the room, where the cat is no longer being harassed or step on head with an immature children, who have thought that kittens are just toys!!!

To be continued

The story of Mr Chips.
We rescued him from Pagudpud, on our way back to Isabela. Nagrigat piman ngem kinaya na nagbyahe butot balat na sya nung ngayun maayus na sya 🥺🥺🥺😇😇😇

How did we find Mr chips?
As we decided to travel up north, spending days in Vigan, Laoag, then went to Pagudpud for only 3days maximum in our schedule. But this happens.
In our first day, me and husband meet two chunky, floppy, bouncy cats. It made me happy that not all cats had been treated badly around Luzon 😊
My husband and I gave them milk, as they are two chunky cats. As we found out they are the cats of the owner of the guest house.
On the 2nd evening, I heard a cat with sorrowful sound asking for foods??
It made me curious?
But I did not give so much attention and I went to sleep, as my husband still doing works in his laptop that evening...
In the morning when my husband says let's go upstairs where he used for sunbathing. As the guest house had fourth floor - perfect for sunbathing.☀️❤️
As we step on the stairs I noticed a cat that is lying with other cats, super skinny and filthy, skin and bones! It looks like he has never been fed for 10yrs!? 🥺
I told my husband and he also agreed that what a poor cat we thought that they were feeding them?
In the afternoon my husband went to see him and give him water as he loves to lay directly where the sun shines, but he was so weak, barely touch the water. I told my husband to buy sardines so he would eat something.
He still don't touch it. In the evening the other guests, preparing massive fish, I observed how they would treat the cats, and as he meaow to beg for scraps fish. As the guy was cleaning the fish, he sent Mr Chips away with disgust in his voice!! 🥺 I saw poor Mr Chips, get into the corner and embrace his skinny body, and his teary eyes is obviously even at night 🥺
I told my husband how they treated him so we decided to get a box and water and food for him that night, he was surprised and wondered? He did not understood the kindness we are showing him, until he still go back were he used to lay down. Under the barbecue stall. In the morning we called him to eat as we bought foods for him. He started to realise that we are there to help him, and gain his trust.
We have him a bath for the first time (he was filthy and infested with ticks), in the next morning I ask the guy where is Mr Chips as he's not in the box, he just said (he is the cat of the neighbors who doesn't care for their cats so he came here when he gets hungry) 🙂
Until he returned when he knows we are looking for him, in our last day we are planning to leave earlier to catch the bus, but somehow we managed to did not make it for some reason, Mr Chips felt that we are leaving and cried to me and roll his tail around my feet. But don't go back home yet we stayed for another night 🙂.
The next day we are ready to leave but from the moment I sleep I was in two minds if I take Mr Chips with us or not? I did not tell my husband about my plan, because I never thought that he would support my plan without any complain at all. Instead he helps me❤️❤️❤️😇

The staff keeps asking me if we will take him home with us, and we did.
We put him in his box to travel, wrapped him up so he was safe. He was so scared until we are in the bus and he settled, for a 7 or 8 hour journey. He poo and p*e and I have to deal with that, when he does I have to be quick😯 and my husband's towel is coming with us. As he was ready to donate it but we end up taking Mr Chips back home here in Cauayan, and now he is Sinamar (Roxas, Isabela) with my other kitcats❤️❤️❤️😇

The story of this 5kittens that I rescued in manila Philippines, was when me and my husband went to find another place to stay, I was complaining because it was hot and I Carry two bag that so heavy!
Little I know God has really made usto this journey even though it's uncertain. The moment we half way the 6kilometers of walk. I spotted a cat in the edge of the store were it's shut!! And then I saw this little kittens on the shoe box🥺🥺🥺
It made me mad at first, then it melt my heart, poor little kittens! Hungry and crying. I didn't even think to video them as they are scattered in every place where they are nearly get into the dry side of the road.
Their eyes are closed, but their stomachs is feild with nothing, but tears in their eyes are obviously painful to see and ignore!!!
🥺🥺🥺 Many had passed by and just see what we are doing there, while they don't even bother to care for them. My husband told me we will go back for them.
I place them in small shoe box and then started to walked with my husband, I don't even forget in every minute of my step, they are in my mind! 🥺❤️ Running through in my chest that hold my tears for such a little one poorly cared by human being.
Then we reach the destination...
It was crap stay there so we decided to return where we stay at first, we dumb our bags, but first on our way back we check of the kittens if they are still there or alive?
The sun is directed to them,.it was so hot that you feel dehydrated, and lost the ability to see fine due to heat of the sun!!! For how much more a newborn kittens?
Then my husband told me let's dumb our bags and get back to them.. we did, and then me and my husband ask the stuff in were we stay, they said that cats are not allowed inside!

In that case me and my husband search for a cat rescuer, we couldn't find nearby, my husband had a thought of asking the vet if they know someone? Or a place. She gets out in her office and saw the kittens crying! She immediately donated.🥺🥺🥺🥺

Hello everyone, so this where I started to collect and feed cats!
Back on 2019 I started to adapt and collect a cat from our neighbors who doesn't love and care for cats, since then I decided to adapt them.
They come to our house even though I have nothing to offer apart from warm house and very little foods for them. After a few years, they get pregnant and became plentiful, due to the numbers of new born kittens. I decided to give to people who can adapt, some are dead but some survive.
My family would advice me to stop na and pag kakaron Ng Pusa, but I still wanted to continue this looking after them and caring for them. Because I can sense a duty for their well being!
Me and my family feed them, so does my husband whom who works so much to provide for them also.
One of them that I adapt since she was still a baby is "tiger" two weeks old kitty, she barely like bones and mostly lost the Ability to function but I did not give up on her....
I would shared a story one day, when she was still until she grows up and having her babies for the first time❤️❤️❤️ and I have more to tell about all the journey of my cats that have together with my family, as for now.. I'm still rescuing cats whenever I go.
So I end up having so many cats
