For context we rescued her with sassy off the yk what list a few months ago, she’s absolutely thriving!❤️

Merry Christmas everyone!🎄❤️

Hi everyone,

Avernus (my mischievous silly orange rescue kitten) and Piper (my sweet, resilient cutie patootie cat) wanted to pop in to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! These two have brought so much joy into my life, and keep me going through the darkness of my chronic pain flaring, and I’m so grateful for all the love and support they’ve received from the community because these two are truely such loving sweethearts.

Unfortunately, Piper has been experiencing a feline herpes flare-up, which has required extra medical attention and care lately. I’m doing everything I can to keep her comfortable and healthy, but the costs for her treatments, supplements, and general needs are adding up.

If you’d like to help support Avernus and Piper this holiday season, their Amazon Needs List is still open for essential items like food, toys, and medical supplies. I’m also accepting Venmo and CashApp donations at @DigiArtBrat to help cover vet bills and other expenses. Every little bit helps, and I appreciate anything you’re able to contribute.

Thank you all for your kindness and generosity. I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with love and warmth.

Love, Avernus, Piper, and their very grateful human

Hi Friends!

I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while. All the kittens and cats are doing great! ❤️

My partner had another hospitalization and surgery last week, and then I came down with a virus, so I've been in bed mostly with a cough, runny nose and chills. The covid test was negative, thankfully.

The first pic is Nurse Mittens. She's my kitty cat nurse.❤️ The kitties seem to know that I'm ill because they've been laying on me and taking care of me. Mittens licked my cheek and fell asleep on my chest. These cats are the best, so full of love.

I still haven't had a chance to put up the catio because of my partner's hospitalizations, broken leg and dialysis schedule, plus my own recent illness.

However, there's good news! My sister got me a staple gun to reinforce the wire on the catio. We plan on setting up the catio once I feel better and don't feel as weak as I do now.

This year, I actually made an effort to set up a Christmas tree🎄 in the hopes that it will cheer everyone up. The kitties are very intrigued by it. Mittens absolutely loves it!

If anyone is able to help our kittens and cats, we're in need of kitty litter and dry cat food.

We had to redo the amazon wishlist, because we couldn't re-add the litter to the original list. So, the old, original list had to be deleted, and a whole new Pepsi's Wishlist started.

We wanted to thank each and every one of you, and wish you Happy Holidays, and we wish Peace and Love for you and your loved ones. ❤️💜💗❄️⛸️☃️

Thanks so much to this community this year, this is such a wonderful space of genuine cat lovers and I just could not be more thankful for this space, resource, and connection with you all.

Thanks for all the upvotes, comments and boosts, advice, support, love, understanding, and donations this year. So much would not have been able to happen without you guys.

I hope you all have the best Christmas! 🎄 ✨🤍💜💕🌹🌻🥀🪻🐈🐈‍⬛

Left behind at a hotel. Hoping to find a rescue to take him. Please help if you can Thank you everyone!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

Hi everyone,

I just want to express my deepest gratitude to the RC family. Because of your help, I was able to get my kitties the treatment they needed, and I’m so happy to spend the holidays with them by my side.

As of now, they’re all recovering well and regaining their energy. In two weeks, once their treatment is completed, they’ll be ready to get their 4-in-1 vaccines to ensure they’re protected and won’t catch any more viruses.

Thank you for the wonderful gift you’ve given them this Christmas. Your kindness and generosity have made all the difference, and I’ll never forget the help you’ve extended to my furbabies.

Wishing you all the best this holiday season!

My heart is heavy today Diana has had an 8-month-long journey with FIP and has relapsed again. If you can’t donate or share, please at least keep her in your prayers. She needs all the strength and love we can give her right now. 💔

Meet Diana, our brave warrior who has been through so much pain and suffering. Just a few days ago, she began battling a bacterial infection and severe vomiting. Despite treatment, her condition hasn’t improved, and she now urgently needs IV infusions to stabilize her.

Diana’s story is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. She came to us after being abandoned by her previous owners, who treated her like she was disposable—just because she scratched a bike seat and household items. They called her “useless” and were ready to throw her out.

But when we found her, we saw more than a discarded cat. We saw a fighter, a mother, and a soul longing for love. With her babies by her side, she looked to us for hope, and we vowed to never let her feel unwanted again.

Today, Diana is in desperate need of your kindness. She’s given everything she has to fight for her life, but she can’t do it alone. Please donate whatever you can to help her get the treatment she needs. And if you can’t donate, please share her story or say a prayer for her recovery.

Every small act of kindness brings us closer to giving Diana the love and care she truly deserves. Thank you for standing by her. 🐾❤️

Crane needs a full mouth extraction and we are trying to get it done after Christmas.

It will cost around $1k and we have raised $145 towards it.

Crane has been in foster care for about 2 years after being saved from a hoarding property in Allegan. He has had some interest in the past but things didn't work out for him. Now he needs this so we will not be able to find him a home until he is back to being healthy. 😢

He is a lover and so friendly to pets and people, and we know he will find his forever home soon, so this is hard for us but we are keeping our heads up and pushing forward for him and doing everything we can to show him he is loved!

Please consider helping if you can.

We unfortunately don't have any matching fundraisers, but we will soon!

Thank you to everyone who is helping!

Community cat has 3 newborn and currently hiding in the drain. Looking for a safe foster home!

Golden is infected with the herpes virus and has flares again. His eye infection is worse now than before and he started sneezing again. :(

First week of December I was able to get him and Beethoven on my vets nebulizer treatment and their sneezing stopped right away on the 4th day . Well there’s occasional sneeze once in a while but the all day sneeze and watery eyes were gone. I thought they are finally gonna be okay . The dexamethasone and sodium phosphate eye drops that were prescribed for Golden also did work . You can see on the picture slide but then it came back again and now it’s worse. 3rd eyelid is showing . Seems inflamed. Instead of only going to nebulize them again with the vet medicines (glucocorticoid,antiviral and antibacterial solution), I asked the vet if we can also build Goldens immune system . He told me about vetimmune but it’s not available on his clinic or anywhere in the country. We can only order it in the states . For the cost of this pi treatment and shipping I would need all your help. Pls help Golden boost his immune system so he doesn’t get sick anymore . I feel I’m responsible for bringing Beethoven inside earlier than I usually quarantine new rescues but the storm last week of October gave us no choice but to get him inside . Beethoven then started to get asthma symptoms which were able to treat with the nebulizer but then few weeks later he got the cold and then Golden was infected as well:( . Right now Beethoven is sneezing too again once in a while but he didn’t develop any eye infection unlike Golden so I feel Golden needs the PI treatment more than him but if the funds I raise can also get Beethoven this treatment then I will go buy him as well.

Thank you guys and I’m sorry for asking for help again but the situation this year my family endured was tough and I’m ashamed I cannot help my cats medical needs unlike the past 2 years.Hopefully next year will be better and my cats will be healthy and I will also be in a situation where I can fully provide for their needs when there’s health emergencies like this.

For the eye infection vet prescribed a new eyedrop an antibacterial this time- Gentin ₱335 and I can easily buy tomorrow. This will help with the infection caused by the dirt that was pushed in during cleaning and play fighting with Beethoven . He also prescribe the 2 day (4 session ) of nebulizer meds to help Beethoven and Golden with the occasional sneezing ₱1611. I still have this amount on my savings so I can cover these.

The vet immune pi to help stop the flares is the one I’m gonna need help with.

It’s $249.50 - $149.50 for the bottles and $115 for the shipping. It’s for one cat only and I feel it’s Golden who needs it more than Beethoven but if I raise an extra $149.50 then I can another set for Beethoven as well.

(I included the quotation of the PI treatment on the slides)

Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart and Merry Christmas

You are all truly amazing, kind, and generous people! Thanks to your help, the cost of neutering has been fully covered—thank you so much! However, both Avernus and Piper still have ongoing costs for medical testing, medication, and supplements. If you’d like to support them further, I’ve put together an Amazon needs list, and donations via Venmo or CashApp (@DigiArtBrat) are also greatly appreciated. Any help would mean the world to us. Thank you again for everything!

Hello everyone. Over the past few days, we’ve been running a fundraiser to cover food costs and pay for Papita’s spaying, which is happening right now (the photo was taken while waiting for the sedative to take effect, and now she’s already in surgery).

Even though we didn’t reach the goal, we decided to proceed with her spaying since today is the last available day for a few weeks. There are still a few hours before we take her home, so maybe we can raise the $150 needed in time.
If we can’t collect it today, we can pay in a few days, but there will be an additional fee, and we’re trying to avoid that.

The PayPal campaign has ended, but donations can still be made. Through the link, you can donate and also see the fundraising progress in real time.

Thank you all so much, and Merry Christmas 🤍

First off, thank you so much to the donors and boosters ❤️🐈🐈‍⬛️🙏 I have a donor who will match every single donation on this post if we can get $200 dollars. I currently have 17 cats affected by FPV, 5 who have passed on with 4 still confined and 8 are on continuous medication for a week and will be on repeat cbc after.

As an update: I have been dealing with a Feline Paleukopenia(FPV) outbreak among my indoor rescues. I am only managing because of your help. I am fur-ever grateful to the people of this sub reddit 🙏. I am exhausted running sick cats to the vet every single day and sometimes multiple trips per day. Our current running vet bill is at Php88,195~$1508, $920 of which is already paid off. I am based in the Philippines so we get much more with a single dollar, and on top of it, I have a donor who will match every donation on this post, up to $200.

TL:DR : I have a donor who is willing to match $200 ❣️ Thank you all so much for your time, patience, compassion and most of all helping the cats. Please boost and donate! ❤️ I have 17 affected cats, 5 who have passed on and 4 who are still confined at the vet and 8 who have come home on continuous medications.

Not a fan of the cigarette lol but cute ❤️

I'll try to get a better photo, but this is the new Cat Momo she older than she looks, 13. She's got a very big Stomach, and sorta firm. She's only here 24 hours so as soon as I can I'll try to get better photo of her stomach are. The girl that had to give Momo away said she may have a swollen milk duct? I don't know. Could be a problem with mammary gland ? Smam thing ?

Ive been getting a lot of deliveries on random days throughout the month, ive been meaning to say some kind soul sent me a live trap! There was no note but whomever you are thank you from the bottom of my heart, this was yesterday? Day before?

Today, i heard the amazon truck pull up, i heard the person walk up my stairs, drop something heavy on the porch then leave and drive away, i was getting dressed at the time to go and get it and didn't bother looking out the window, however when i arrived outside, there was nothing there, so please please please if anyone sent anything that arrived on december 24th, and report it as not delivered, idk who mightve sent whatever it was but you do not deserve to have your money wasted on a christmas thief

A heartbreaking story right before Christmas and the holidays 💔😿 A friend called us devastated after finding an injured cat in dire condition.

She said she noticed something flailing on the sidewalk it looked like a torn black bag at first. But as she got closer, she saw it was a cat desperately trying to stand. Its legs wouldn’t obey, flailing chaotically, and the poor thing kept slipping off the sidewalk toward the road, closer and closer to danger.

Without hesitation, she stopped her car, blocking the road for others. What a hero for this cat 😥😭! She quickly placed the cat in her car and called us. One of our volunteers rushed to meet her at the clinic.

The cat was in visible agony 😢 The vet immediately gave him a pain relief shot and a sedative so he could be examined. His pupils were wide and darting around. Then, the poor baby vomited likely from trauma or stress but seemed to calm down afterward. Initially, it was assumed he’d been hit by a car.

An X-ray was done immediately, revealing no fractures. But then came the shocking discovery: two bullets in his body 🤬🤬🤬 (Photo of xray posted)

We were horrified heartbroken and furious at the same time. What monster could do something so cruel to such a sweet, innocent soul? What kind of monster could inflict this pain?

The cat, now named Eve is receiving treatment and is under close observation. He’s in a critical state, but we’re holding on to hope for his recovery.

We need your help to give this sweet boy the care he desperately needs. Please consider supporting us to cover his vet bills. Any contribution means the world 🙏🏻❤️ Eve keep fighting! We’re rooting for you! 😿💞

Thank you for being kind and caring ❤️

The last few days have been extremely rough and exhausting. Mogwai did ok over the weekend. He had his surgery Saturday and he did suffer a cardiac event and needed CPR. They did get him stable and his heart was strong and he was breathing on his own. That whole day was extremely stressful there were quite a few ups and happy moments and then we would get news that something happened and he only had a 20 percent chance of surviving.

Mogwai did pull throughand we were able to bring him home Saturday. Sunday was ok but he didn't eat very much so I was hand feeding him. I called the vet Monday since he needed a recheck in 3 days and they were closed today due to Christmas eve so they got us in yesterday. While we were getting closer to his appointment time I just had a dread come over me and I was starting to panic. I can't explain it, but I was just getting so nervous and started to cry. 15 mins later my son came running upstairs (I was working and work from home) that something was wrong with mogwai. I ran downstairs and my daughter said he had a seizure. I immediately got him in a carrier and I drove as fast as I could to his vet. I called them to let them know I was coming early.

By the time we got there mogwai had 4 seizures all within a half hour of each other. They got him back immediately and took him out of the carrier where he had another seizure and they started him immediately on medications to stop them. He responded very good to the seizure meds and he came to and was up and walking. Mogwai is now on seizure meds and he still has a long recovery ahead of him. I am positive he is blind although I don't know if this will recover or if it's now permanent but either way he has a whole house of kitties and people who will help him adjust and that is the least of worries right now. I hope this is the worst of it and it is now all up hill from here but I do not know and I think that's the most scary part of all of this.

Mogwai was released to come back home at 4 pm yesterday and I have been staying with him and monitoring him since. I haven't left his side. He has had another seizure and we did give him his pill yesterday. He will be on meds twice a day for the foreseeable future. They also gave us dry food as mogwai really wanted dry food to eat. I think he still has an aversion to wet food right now and around 6 mogwai wanted food.

I can't tell you how exhausted I am and I know it's nothing compared to everything mogwai has gone through. I was told by the clinic yesterday mogwai is the only patient that has survived CPR. He is now a vet favorite. His amazing techs came in on their day off just to see him when they heard he was coming in. I am truly impressed with the level of care and compassion that this clinic, the vets the techs and the receptionist all showed while waiting hours after they had closed to help recover mogwai and to get us in immediately when he needed to be seen. I am a huge fan of theirs and feel confident in their treatment plan with mogwai.

Thank you all who have sent donations, prayers, well wishes and good juju. We do still have ongoing expenses with mogwai and his surgery is half way paid for but I know we will get there. His total for his surgery was 4300 and yesterday's appt was 200 with his meds and specialty dry food.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas eve and Christmas morning that is filled with love and light. You all are amazing and I am truly humbled and blessed to have all of you. Thank you❤️❤️

Hello, we rescued this kitten from a Colony that my mom can no longer care for. We would have TNR'd her, but we are not allowed to return her. She is very sweet and uses the litter box, but we cannot keep her as we are full to the rafters and it is taking a toll on my father's mental health. She will need a home with s person experienced in rehoming cats and a little extra time/patience to help her settle as she is terrified of new places and will try to escape. https://www.nokillnetwork.org/adoption/california/lower-lake/domestic-shorthair-cat--2175102
