We need your help 🙏
🐾 So here we are again – like so many other rescue organisations – asking for help with wet 🥫 and dry 🐱 food. The sad reality is cats 🐈 and ferals 🐾 are so often forgotten. Yet every single day, they depend on us.
⛽ To put you in the picture: we’ve been trapping for a corporate site with hundreds of cats. Not once have they offered to cover our petrol 💸 or even acknowledge the hours ⏳ we spend trapping – let alone the emotional heartbreak 💔 we face every week euthanising the sick and diseased. We never asked for money, only the cost of one sterilisation ✂️ per week in lieu of payment. We’ve received nothing – not even an acknowledgment of our email 📧. We simply cannot keep trapping at our expense!
Still, we’ve uplifted every young, defenseless kitten 🍼🐱 we could, and the (untrapped) teens and adults left behind must now be sterilised, with us hoping for the best 🙏. Every kitten uplifted comes with vet bills 💉 and feeding costs 🍲, which we shoulder ourselves. In the past, donations from Hill’s Pet Nutrition 🐾 have been a lifeline, but right now supplies are running desperately low ⚠️. We have about 5 days of wet food left 🥫 and, if we’re lucky, enough dry food to last until the end of September.
Please understand – it’s just two people 👩🦰👩🦳, Kate Mc Kitty Cat Rescue and myself, carrying this entire load. Together we care for:
✔️ 49 sanctuary cats 🏡 at Kate’s place (who urgently need a bigger enclosure – this is not a luxury, it’s a necessity),
✔️ 35 sanctuary cats 🏡 at mine, and
✔️ 33 ferals 🌿 from different local colonies.
That’s 117 little lives 🐾💚 depending on us every single day for food, water, shelter, and vet care.
We don’t threaten closure 🚫, because the truth is, we simply cannot take on anymore – our shallow pockets 💔 cannot sustain it. But we cannot, and will not, stop feeding the cats already under our care.
We are transparent with our costs 💳, and we’ve managed to negotiate better prices with suppliers. You’re welcome to donate directly into our account – we’re happy to provide slips or invoices 🧾 for proof of purchase.
🙏 Please consider donating food 🥫🐾 from the list below, or making an EFT of any amount towards purchases. We do not feed anything outside this list (it only leads to future vet bills 💉), so we stick with what we know is safe and healthy.
💌 If you cannot help, please share this appeal. Every single bit of support makes a difference.
🐾 These cats cannot feed themselves. They have no one else. They only have us – and through us, your kindness 💚.
