Three weeks ago, my partner and I found a senior cat living outside in our Lane County, Oregon neighborhood. She was skin and bones, spine and hips showing, drooling, and in so much pain she would cry out and back away from her own food.

Her previous owner, after becoming a single mom through some very hard years couldn't care for her anymore and made the heartbreaking decision to let her go to someone who could after I approached and located them. We stepped in and had her at a vet within about 48 hours. Her name is Boots.

What we learned about her:

We tracked down her original records. She was born September 21, 2016, originally named Peppa, spayed as a kitten with proper early care, and then the records simply stop in 2017. She went roughly eight years without seeing a vet. Her previous owner told us her mouth trouble began around December 2025, when feeding time started making her cry. She also clearly had been riddled / infested with fleas for many years. Leading to her being anemic.

Her diagnosis:

Advanced dental disease (this is the big one) the whole reason she was starving. She wasn't refusing food; eating just hurt too much. The good news from her workup: negative for FIV and feline leukemia, healthy kidney, thyroid, and blood sugar values. Her mild anemia (fleas plus being run down) is the one thing we've been rebuilding as she's been under our foster supervision and care here indoors, and it's the final gate before surgery.

How she's doing now (video attached):

Her coat has come in smooth and full again.. the rough, unkempt look of a cat too pained to groom is slowly going away. She's eating well, filling out, and grooming more often. And her personality has arrived: a deep, low little voice, a permanent blep, strong opinions about the sunny spot, and an instant purr the moment you touch her. Her old family says she's wonderful with children. For a cat who had every reason to give up, she has decided very clearly that she wants to live.

What's next, and why I'm posting now:

July 17th (tomorrow) is her bloodwork recheck to confirm her anemia has resolved enough for safe anesthesia. If she's cleared, her dental surgery is scheduled for the following week at Echo Hollow Veterinary in Eugene: full-mouth x-rays, anesthesia with full monitoring, cleaning, multiple extractions, periosteal flaps, nerve blocks, and pain management.

The estimate is approximately $2,700 (range $2,405–$3,362) — the full itemized, redacted vet estimate is attached in comments. The time-sensitive part: the full amount is due at discharge on the day of surgery. No payment plan. If she's cleared on the 17th (tomorrow), we have days, not weeks to get this settled.

How to give:

💛 Venmo: https://www.venmo.com/u/Jehoseph
💛 PayPal: paypal.me/TheDivines
💛 Directly to the clinic: call Echo Hollow Vet Hospital & Urgent Care in Eugene, Oregon anytime after 2PM PST July 17th or the days that follow and reference "Boots" Divine — they can take donations toward her account, and they can verify everything in this post.

I've completed the mod verification process here (vet bill, ID, photos), and Echo Hollow has been in contact with the team here. Happy to answer anything.

If you can't give, sharing genuinely helps, truly, it's how she got this far.

She went from dying in a garden to a purring girl with a smooth coat and a big personality in three weeks. She did the hard part. This surgery is the last stretch. Then she may get placed with her best forever home. Thank you for reading and thank you to this community. 🐾

Hello!
This cute little kitten is one I found on the curb of a main road tonight, and I need some help rehoming them and soon!

Starting off, I have two cats already and I’m living family where I’m not allowed more. But I’ve taken him in temporarily (and I’ll likely get chewed out in the morning for it but oh well). I’ve got kitten food, I’ve got toys, I’ve got a crate.

While I have this sweetie, I want to get them tested for feline leukemia/aids on Monday as soon as the place opens since I know my cats are free of it, and I want to get a general wellness exam done. This is about $50 that I don’t really have right now, but I’m gonna figure it out.

I don’t have a car to really bring them anywhere that isn’t within a few miles, and I don’t have a separate room for them to go into to keep separate from my cats. But so far my cats just seem interested and not aggressive. They’re a little spicy but have warmed up to me really quick. I’ve clipped their claws, and I’m going to give them a flea bath.

Any advice is helpful! Hopefully I can get them to a good home soon!

Hello everyone! 🩷

Just a little update and another huge thank you to this amazing community.

Because of all your kindness and generosity, we have raised $23.40 towards Miso’s spay surgery. Thank you all so so much!

We are still raising $47 for Miso’s remaining expenses at the vet and the take-home medications for both Miso and Chai.

We are also still raising $46 for Chai’s spay surgery and CBC for her scheduled appointment tomorrow July 18, 2026

Here is the link to my first post with the full cost breakdown:** **https://www.reddit.com/r/rescuecats/s/b3jraNQbyG

As always, I will be posting receipts and updates to make sure that 100% of the donations are going towards Miso and Chai!

Thank you all so much again for always supporting my rescues. So grateful for everything you guys do. 🙏🏼

Found this beautiful boy! He’s the sweetest little one. Just a lover. Took him to the vet, got antibiotics, and pain meds. Needs some teeth work. We were planning to help him and bring him home with us (my kids are in AZ for the summer and we live in FL). We have 4 cats so what’s one more right?

The vet called today and he’s got feline leukemia. He needs a home in the next 2 weeks in the pheonix area. Can anyone adopt this little guy? His lab work looks good so his leukemia hasn’t progressed too far but he’s very underweight (7.5lbs) need some tlc and a home with no other cats or cats that have this disease already.

Let me know if you can help give him a good home and please share. My kids will have to put him to sleep if they can’t find a shelter for him in the next two weeks. We can’t let him go back out on the streets.

Hi I'm running extremely low on food for the colony. Unfortunately I had a limb hit the top of my pop up carport which left a hole and though I fixed it with some thick tarps, in the meantime the water that got in over night ruined some stuff stored in there including some of my bags of dry food that was stored in there. And ended up taking out at least a few days worth of food. Anything at all is appreciated ♥️

I am posting here in hopes that someone has seen or has info about this tortie in the Lancaster/York County PA area. She is not my cat, but the owner posted on Facebook trying to find her. Two people showed up in her front yard and took her (just random people- not an abuse case or anything like that). This was 3 days ago. I thought I'd post here on a long shot that someone might know something pr have seen her I do not know the owner but know how horrible it must feel.

Thank you to everyone who has helped our colony cats. Every donation, share, and kind word makes a difference.

We still have needs:

• One more outdoor dog house to replace our worn-out green house shelter for feeding.

• dry food to keep our colony fed

• Flea prevention and other basic care items

• wanting toys

I also wanted to give an update o

n Scout. He tested positive giardia tand is receiving probiotics and metronidazole to treat it.

If you'd like to help, anything from our wishlist-big or small--is deeply appreciated. If you're unable to donate, boosting this post helps us reach more animal lovers.

Thank you for supporting Catcun Colony Cats and nelping us give these cats the care they deserve.

Hello everyone,

​My two rescue kittens, Ponkan and Mandarin, have their second dose of the 4-in-1 vaccine scheduled for this Sunday. As independent rescue efforts go, the vet expenses add up quickly, and we are looking for a little help to get them across the finish line for their kitten shots.

​Target Goal: Php1600 or 28USD

​Donation Info:

GCash/Maya: 09988648365

Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/potpotsmedication

PayPal: https://paypal.me/janabhie

​Proof of identity, vet cards, and the kittens' adorable faces are all attached. Thank you so much for looking, upvoting, or donating if you can! every little bit helps keep these two safe.

Many of you may remember this sweet rescue cat. I shared his story before when he was very sick.

Thanks to your support, we raised $55, which helped us take him to the vet and start treatment after he was diagnosed with coryza (cat flu).

At first, he showed signs of improvement. His fever went away, his nose stopped running, and we thought he was finally getting better.

But now we are facing a new and frightening situation.

He has almost completely lost his appetite and is losing weight very quickly. His voice is disappearing day by day, and he can barely meow anymore. When I try to syringe-feed him, he often vomits.

Because I previously rescued another cat with similar symptoms who was later diagnosed with FIP, I am very worried. We do not know if this is the case with him, but we need more tests urgently to find out what is happening.

He is such a loving cat. He loves attention, cuddles, and human contact. Despite feeling weak, he still wants to be loved.

I am asking for your help again. If you can support his tests and treatment, or even just share and upvote his story, it can make a difference.

Thank you for helping me continue fighting for cats who need a second chance. ❤️

‎Hi all. Can you help me with food and litter please. Most of my indoor cats were once abandoned, neglected, or born on the streets. They now have a safe home, but keeping them fed and comfortable is a daily challenge. Food and litter run out faster than I can replace them.. Every bag of food and every bag of litter makes a real difference, but the need never stops. These cats are already fixed btw.

‎If you're able to donate, no matter how small the amount, it will go directly toward buying food and litter for the cats. Every contribution helps. Thank you so much!

FULLERTON, CA – Looking for a Home for Nova

Nova is an 8-month old tortie (born November 12, 2025) looking for a quieter home that may be a better fit for her personality.

She has no litter box issues, aggression, destructive behaviors, or other behavioral problems. She is spayed, indoor-only, and up to date on vaccinations.

Nova gets along well with other cats and has lived in a multi cat household. She is a very gentle cat but is extremely shy and withdrawn, spending much of her day hiding. While she will come out for treats and interaction on her own terms, I believe she may be happier in a quieter home where she can receive more individual attention and settle in at her own pace.

She would likely do best with someone who appreciates a calm, independent cat and is willing to give her time to adjust.

Hi everyone! I'm a 19-year-old student fostering a kitten. I'm currently looking for cat litter, as my last bag has run out. I had been using clean sand temporarily, but with the heavy rains in my area, I haven't been able to collect any dry sand.

If anyone would like to help, I've added cat litter and a larger litter box to my Amazon wishlist. She's grown quite a bit and has outgrown the plastic tray I've been using.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my rescue and community cats in the past. I truly appreciate all the kindness and encouragement. ❤️🐾

Good day, everyone!

This is Bana, a kitten I found in a nearby area where I regularly feed stray cats, about a 2-minute walk from my apartment.

She is approximately 3 to 4 months old.

Please note that all of the female stray cats in that area have already been spayed, so I am not sure where this poor little kitten came from. She may have been abandoned or simply got lost.

I am humbly asking for your help to bring Bana to the vet. She appears to have an infection and seems to be in pain, making it difficult for her to eat.

Any amount you can donate will help give Bana the chance to receive the medical treatment she needs and the healthy, happy life she deserves. I will definitely post an update with photos and receipt. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

Estimated Cost for Bana's Veterinary Visit:

• Consultation Fee – $8
• CBC & Blood Chemistry – $46
• Antibiotic Injection – $16
• Take-home Medication – Approximately $16

Estimated Total: $86

Please note that this is only an estimate. The final vet bill may be lower or higher depending on Bana's diagnosis and the treatment she requires.

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I can't afford to make a post that's only an update, because our recent posts have gone almost unnoticed. We've received very little support lately, and we're now facing empty food bowls and $1,200 in debt from previous food purchases and veterinary care.

We urgently need to buy food, but not only do we have no funds available, we also can't keep using our own money to get through these emergencies. We've done that so many times that there's nothing left.

Unfortunately, because of our location (Uruguay), we can't use wishlists, so we miss out on support from people who only donate that way.

You can find all the receipts at the corresponding link. Any help is deeply appreciated and truly makes a difference. Every contribution helps us keep them fed!

Now for the updates:

Baby Queso is doing much better! He's now out of danger and gaining weight every day. Soon we'll be throwing a "Two Pounds of Cheese" party because he's about to reach that milestone.

Yesterday, Pigeon went to his forever home! 🎉 He showed up crying at the door of every house, with an injured paw and unneutered. We got him veterinary care, had him neutered, and found a home for him!

He was welcomed with so much love, and he's already very comfortable and happy ❤️
