🆘 URGENT: Help Us Save Victor and Keep Saving Lives 🆘

Last night, little Victor a kitten no bigger than your hand, fragile, covered in ringworm, and fighting every day just to grow, suddenly began struggling to breathe. His foster rushed him to emergency, terrified he wouldn’t make it in time.
We truly thought we were going to lose him.

Victor spent the night in hospital on IV fluids, receiving round the clock supportive care. This morning, we finally got to bring him home exhausted, shaky, but still fighting. The vets ran every test they could:

No free fluid in his abdomen
Enlarged organs likely congenital, but because he’s so tiny there’s almost nothing to compare them to
Slight anemia
Elevated white cells
FIP ruled out
Immunocompromised from a lack of early maternal antibodies + ringworm + being so small
Diarrhoea while admitted now on probiotics and antibiotics

Through everything, Victor purred. Even as a tiny kitten battling more than he should… he still purrs. He wants to live.

We have not yet received the final invoice for Victor’s stay, but we were quoted upwards of $1,200 for last night alone and from previous emergencies, we are already over $7,000 in owing, including Victor’s bill.
Another critical kitten was rushed in late last night as well, these back to back emergencies have hit us hard.

We are drowning.
We rely solely on donations.
We receive no government funding.
And we cannot keep taking on kill listed cats every week the ones who need us the most if we cannot get on top of these bills.

We don’t want to turn our backs on kittens like Victor who only survived because someone fought for them.
But right now? We can’t keep doing this without you.

If everyone reading this donated even a couple of dollars, we could cover Victor’s care and chip away at the vet bills that are holding us back from saving more lives.

🩷Your $2, $5, $10 whatever you can spare truly matters.
Your donation today keeps our doors open tomorrow.

Anything over $2 is tax deductible 🐾

Hi, I’m Mira 💤💖 My belly pouch is probably the cutest thing you’ll ever see! COME MEET ME THIS SATURDAY AT ADOPTION DAY!✨

I’m a soft, chubby little cloud of love who just wants a calm, cozy life. I’m gentle, sweet, and very into naps preferably in a sunny spot or on a squishy blanket. I enjoy pats and quiet company, but I’m also happy doing my own thing.

I’m not really into loud kids or other animals; I’d much rather be the queen of a peaceful home where I can just relax and be adored. I promise to bring calm, comfort, and the cutest little face you’ll ever wake up to. However i can get used to a gentle feline friend, i currently live with a few and am doing fine!

If you’ve got a soft bed, gentle hands, and a quiet heart, I think we’d be perfect for each other.

Hi, I’m Mo 💛 COME MEET ME AT ADOPTION DAY THIS SATURDAY!
I’m a teeny tiny baby girl with a HUGE amount of sweetness packed into my little body! I’m playful, cuddly, a bit goofy, and apparently I “light up the room” that’s what my humans say, anyway. I just think I’m being me! ✨

I adore zooming around, chasing toys, snuggling into warm blankets, and flopping onto you for cuddles. I’m soft, silly, and full of love, and I can turn even the dullest day into something bright and happy.

I would love to find a home with one of my siblings Krill or McGinnis but we’re not bonded, so it’s not essential. What is essential is that I have a feline friend in my forever home.

I’m a social little girl who needs another cat to play with, cuddle with, and learn from. So if you don’t already have a friendly resident kitty and you don’t want two of us… I’m not the right match.

I’m strictly INDOORS ONLY (supervision is not enough!), because I’m tiny, precious, and deserve a safe life forever.

If you want a bright, loving, playful little princess who brings sunshine everywhere she goes… I’m your Mo. 💛🐾

Hi, I’m Mulberry 🫐
I’m tiny, sweet, and so, so deserving of a forever home of my own.

Just like Fuchsia and Rhodonite, I’m a gentle boy who can be a little timid when I first meet new people. But once I’ve had a moment to feel safe, I turn into the softest, cuddliest little sweetheart. I love pats, I love playtime, and I really love having another cat around to help me feel brave.

I absolutely need a feline friend in my new home whether it’s one of my siblings (I’d be very happy!) or a kind resident cat who doesn’t mind showing a shy boy how to settle in.

I’m quiet, affectionate, playful once I’m comfortable, and full of love I can’t wait to give. I may start slow, but I promise I’m worth every minute.

And just like my brother and sister, I’m strictly indoors only I need a safe space where I never have to worry again.

If you’re looking for a sweet, shy, loving little boy to adore forever… that’s me. 🐾

Hi, I’m Rhodonite 🐈‍⬛
A tiny, loving little boy with a soft heart and a gentle soul.

I can be a bit timid when I meet new people, but I promise it won’t last long. Once I realise you’re safe, I melt into the sweetest, cuddliest kitten who just wants affection, playtime, and a warm lap to snooze on. I’m playful, I’m gentle, and I adore other cats they help me feel brave and happy.

I need a feline friend in my forever home, whether that’s one of my siblings (I’d love that!) or a friendly resident cat who’ll show me the ropes. I’m not bonded, but companionship is really important to me.

I’m tiny, deserving, and ready to give someone all the love I’ve been saving in my little heart.
And just like my sister I’m strictly indoors only. Outside is scary, so I need a family who’ll keep me safe inside forever.

If you think you could love a shy but sweet boy like me, I’d really love to meet you. 💗🐾

Hi… um, I’m Fuchsia 💗
I’m a tiny little girl with a big, gentle heart, and I’m really hoping someone out there is ready to love me forever.

I can be a little shy when I first meet new people, but I promise it doesn’t take me long to warm up. Once I feel safe, I turn into the sweetest, cuddliest, playful little bean I love pats, snuggles, and zooming around with my kitty friends.

I really do need another cat in my life… they make me feel brave and happy. I’d love to go home with one of my brothers if you want a perfect pair, but I’m not bonded I’ll happily be besties with any friendly resident cat.

I’m tiny, I’m deserving, and I’m ready to give someone all my love.
And just so you know… I’m strictly indoors only, forever and ever. Outside is too scary for me, so please only apply if you’re happy to keep me safe inside.

If you think we’d be a good match, I’d really love to meet you. 💗🐾

Hi, I’m Obscura
Your lively little shadow with a whole lot of sparkle, even after everything I’ve been through. ✨🖤

My past family abandoned me, and because of that I almost lost my life… but I fought so hard to still be here. I’m safe now, and I’m ready for a real forever family one that won’t ever leave me behind.

I’m a sweet, confident girl bursting with energy and personality. I love to talk (a lot), zoom around, and follow my humans everywhere like the chatty little sidekick I am. I’m full of silly antics, opinions, and charm there’s never a dull moment with me.

When it comes to other cats, I’m not always impressed at first… but with time and patience, I warm up and decide they’re actually pretty okay.

I’m playful, expressive, affectionate in my own unique way, and so, so deserving of someone who will love me forever. I’m indoors only, and I’m ready for my happily ever after maybe with you. 🖤🐾

Hi, I’m Chimmy, your happy little sunshine boy with endless love to give! ☀️💛

I’m a sweet, playful, energetic cuddle machine who adores my humans more than anything. If you sit down, I’m probably already on my way over for affection. I’m all about fun, zoomies, toys, and then curling up for snuggles like the good little lovebug I am.

I’m the best boy ever (trust me, everyone says so), and I’d really love a feline friend to keep me company I thrive with another kitty to play with, nap with, and share my adventures with.

I’m indoors only, incredibly affectionate, and ready to bring joy, laughter, and warmth into someone’s life. Maybe yours? 💛🐾

Hi, I’m Chubbers 👑

I’m a very sweet, gentle boy with the chubbiest little head and the softest heart. I absolutely love pats and cuddles, and I’ll happily soak up as much attention as you’re willing to give. When I’m not chilling like the king I am, I enjoy being playful and showing off my goofy side the perfect mix of fun and laid-back.

I’d really prefer to be the only cat in your life (because every king deserves his throne ✨), and I promise I’ll give you all the love you could ever need. I’m the best boy, and I’m just waiting for someone who sees how special I am.

Hi, I’m Buttercream, Your soft, sweet senior Ragdoll boy with a heart as gentle as my name. 🤍✨

I might be a little timid when we first meet, but please don’t let that scare you off. I just need a bit of time to feel safe… and once I do, I turn into the cuddliest, most loving fluffball you’ve ever met. I’m a big boy with an even bigger heart, and nothing makes me happier than settling in close to the humans I trust.

I’m gentle, sweet, and wonderfully fluffy, the kind of companion who’s happy to lounge beside you, soak up pats, and offer quiet, steady comfort. I’m also cat friendly and would do well with a calm feline friend.

If you have a peaceful home, a soft spot for seniors, and patience to let me bloom, I promise I’ll reward you with endless love and cuddles.
I’m indoors only, and I’m so ready to find the person who will love me for the rest of my days. 🤍🫶
