💔 PLEASE PRAY FOR COCO - WE ARE TERRIFIED WE MAY BE LOSING HERWe genuinely don’t know how much more our hearts can take....

💔 PLEASE PRAY FOR COCO - WE ARE TERRIFIED WE MAY BE LOSING HER

We genuinely don’t know how much more our hearts can take.

It feels like one tragedy after another, one sick cat after another, one emergency after another…and now our beautiful Coco is deteriorating. 💔

And for those who don’t know Coco’s story, this little girl has already fought so hard just to have a life.

Coco was originally rescued in Dubai near a hospital, terrified, starving and covered in glue. The glue had caused severe damage to one of her ears, with part of the tissue becoming necrotic.

She was treated, she recovered, and slowly she began learning that humans could be kind.

Then, after everything she had already survived, Coco escaped from foster and went missing. We searched desperately for her until she was finally found again — hungry and injured — and once more she had to fight her way back.

She did.

She recovered again.

And eventually we started seeing the beautiful little Coco underneath all that trauma - coming out for food, accepting affection, playing and finally beginning to feel safe. ❤️

We genuinely thought she had already endured enough for one little life.

But then Coco was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease.

At the time, surgery was discussed, but the vets felt the risk was simply too great. Coco’s potassium levels were dangerously low and there was a very real possibility that she would not survive the anaesthetic or the operation.

We could not take the risk of losing her on the operating table.

So we monitored her, supported her and prayed that she would remain stable.

And for quite some time…she did. ❤️

But recently things have changed.

💔 COCO HAS STARTED DETERIORATING

She became extremely lethargic, hardly wanted to eat and was panting heavily. She has also been vomiting again.

We took her back to the veterinary clinic because something was clearly very wrong.

And even getting answers has been difficult.

The vets tried repeatedly to take enough blood for a full blood test, but they were struggling to access her veins and were unable to collect enough. Eventually Coco had to be sedated simply so they could obtain blood for the testing they were able to perform.

Her chemistry panel has now shown abnormalities, including raised total protein, globulin and ALT, and the vet is concerned enough that she needs treatment and very close monitoring.

For now, Coco has been given an injection and we have been told to watch her extremely carefully over the coming days.

And then came the words nobody ever wants to hear.

If she continues deteriorating and more symptoms appear, we may have to consider letting her go.

We cannot even write that without breaking down. 💔💔💔

If she improves and manages to return to how she was before, we will continue supporting her and giving her every comfortable, happy day she still wants to have.

But right now we simply do not know which way this is going to go.

🙏🏻 PLEASE, PLEASE PRAY FOR COCO

We know prayers cannot replace veterinary treatment.

But right now we need every bit of hope we can possibly hold onto.

Please pray that her little body responds.

Please pray that she starts eating properly again.

Please pray that she becomes comfortable and brighter.

Please pray that this is not goodbye.

After everything Coco has already survived — being found starving and covered in glue, the terrible damage to her ear, going missing, being found injured and fighting her way back again — it feels unbearably cruel that she now has to face this too.

She has fought for her life more than once.

We desperately need her to fight one more time.

She isn’t simply “another cat” or another veterinary case.

She is Coco.

She is family.

And the thought of losing her is unbearable.

What makes everything even harder is that this is happening while we are already dealing with Teddy’s major surgery and recovery, Romeo’s injuries, other cats still receiving treatment, cats waiting at clinics and veterinary bills that just keep climbing.

We are completely overwhelmed.

Emotionally.

Physically.

Financially.

It genuinely feels as though every time we try to get one little head above water, another emergency pulls us straight back under.

💔 WE NEED HELP MORE THAN EVER

Every veterinary visit, blood test, injection, medication and follow-up adds another cost at a time when we are already struggling to cover the bills in front of us.

If you are able to help towards Coco’s care and the other cats currently depending on us, even a small amount would mean more than we can explain.

Please fight, Coco.

Please give us a little more time with you. 💔🙏🏻

💔🐾 WE NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ROMEO…AND WE REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE WE CAN TAKE 🐾💔We honestly don’t ev...
26/08/2026

💔🐾 WE NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ROMEO…AND WE REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE WE CAN TAKE 🐾💔

We honestly don’t even know how to write this update.

Poor Romeo had an accident.

He fell from the cat tree while trying to come down, and straight away he started limping, hiding, sitting down and refusing to properly stand.

Soua’d rushed him to the vet, praying it was just a sprain or something minor.

It wasn’t.

The X-rays showed that Romeo has fractures in two places. 💔

One of them is the type of fracture that should heal on its own with strict rest and monitoring, so the vet does not plan to operate on that one.

But the second fracture, higher up around the hip area, will need surgery. 😭🙏🏻

At first, the vet wanted to operate very soon, within just a few days, because the earlier it is repaired, the better.

But after examining Romeo properly and checking his teeth, he believes Romeo is still only around 3 months old.

So now we have to wait until he is around 4 months old before the surgery can be done.

And until then, Romeo has to be kept as quiet as possible and his movement restricted so he doesn’t keep putting pressure on the leg or interfere with how the bone is healing before surgery.

That means weeks of watching him carefully, keeping him from playing and jumping like a normal kitten, and trying to keep him comfortable while knowing he is in pain.

The vet has estimated Romeo’s surgery at around 3,000–4,000 AED, depending on what needs to be done during the operation. We’re desperately hoping it won’t be more than that. 😭😭😭💔💔💔

We are already drowning in vet bills and still have so many rescues to feed and care for. We honestly don’t know how we’re going to manage this without help.

And we are devastated. 😭💔💔💔

Romeo had only just recovered from everything he went through when he was rescued.

His infected paw had healed.
His tummy had improved.
He was finally happy, playful and enjoying being a kitten.

And now this happened.

Completely out of nowhere.

And financially, we genuinely don’t know what to say anymore.

We were already drowning before this.

With vet bills, medication, food, ongoing rescue cases and emergency after emergency, we were already struggling badly to keep everything going.

Now?

It honestly feels like we have already drowned. 🤦🏻‍♀️💔

This is another completely unexpected vet bill, more X-rays, more consultations, more follow-ups, more medication, and now surgery on top of everything else.

We need help.

We really, really need help.

We need sponsors.
We need regular supporters.
We need people who can help with even a few pounds.
We need people to share.
We need someone to see Romeo and decide to help us keep going.

At this point, we genuinely feel like we need some kind of angel sent from heaven because we don’t know what else to do anymore.

Soua’d is exhausted.
The bills do not stop.
The emergencies do not stop.
And somehow the cats still keep needing us.

We cannot just turn our backs on them.

We cannot look at Romeo and say there is no money for his surgery.

But we also cannot keep pretending that we can somehow carry all of this alone.

So please, if you can help Romeo, please help us.

Even £5, £10 or anything at all adds up when enough people come together.

🐾🤍 THIS LITTLE BOY NEEDS HIS NEXT CHANCE - A FOREVER HOME 🤍🐾

Honestly…we know this might be a long shot.

This little boy is still at the vet, recovering from a broken leg that had become badly inflamed by the time he was rescued.

When we first found him outside, he was in pain and needed veterinary treatment immediately. Since then, he has been staying at the clinic receiving treatment, monitoring and care while his little leg heals.

And thankfully…he’s getting better. 🥹🤍

He doesn’t even have a name yet.

For now, he’s simply our little fighter. 🐾

⸻

💛 HIS RECOVERY

His leg has been responding to treatment and we’re finally seeing improvement.

He is still under veterinary care, but if everything continues going well, he is expected to be discharged from the vet within the next few days.

And this is where we thought…

Maybe, just maybe, someone will see him at exactly the right time. 🥹

Because instead of being discharged without knowing what comes next, how beautiful would it be if his next destination could eventually be home?

⸻

🏡 LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME

We know this is a long shot, especially because we are only just beginning his adoption search.

But if anyone has been thinking about adopting a rescue kitten and feels something when they see this little face…now would be the perfect time to reach out. 🤍

He has already experienced the pain of surviving outside with a broken and inflamed leg.

We would love for the next chapter of his life to look completely different.

Safe.

Loved.

Spoiled.

And finally home. 🏡🐾

⸻

🤍 ABOUT OUR LITTLE BOY

🐾 Male baby kitten
🐾 Currently recovering from a broken leg and inflammation
🐾 Responding well to veterinary treatment
🐾 Expected to be discharged within the next few days
🐾 Indoor-only home required
🐾 Currently based in the UAE
🐾 International adoption can be discussed ✈️

More information about his vaccinations, neutering and travel readiness will be shared with serious potential adopters as his recovery progresses.

And yes…he still needs a name. 🥹

Maybe his future family will be the ones who get to give him one. 🤍

📍 Location: Dubai, UAE

⸻

💛 HIS PERFECT HOME

After everything he has already been through, we are looking for a loving, patient and committed forever family.

Someone who understands that adopting a rescue means choosing them not only when they’re tiny and adorable, but for their entire life.

We want him to grow up never having to worry about where he will sleep, where his next meal will come from, or whether someone will protect him again.

We know finding that person may take time.

But sometimes the right person sees the right little soul at exactly the right moment.

So we’re trying. 🤍

✈️ ADOPTION PROCESS

Our adoption process includes:

🐾 Initial chat
🐾 Pre-adoption application
🐾 Video home check

🐾 Travel/relocation preparation where applicable
🐾 Adoption Agreement

📋 If you think you could be his forever person, please fill out our pre-adoption form:

🧸💔 COULD TEDDY’S PERSON BE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE?This is a long shot. We know it is.But we have been thinking about Teddy ...
20/08/2026

🧸💔 COULD TEDDY’S PERSON BE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE?

This is a long shot. We know it is.

But we have been thinking about Teddy constantly, and we cannot stop asking ourselves whether somewhere out there is a person who might look at his little face and simply know:

“I’ll wait for him.”

We wish we had beautiful photographs of Teddy curled up on a sofa, playing with toys or sleeping somewhere warm to introduce him with.

We don’t.

These are the only photographs we have, because Teddy’s story with us so far has been hospital cages, treatment and survival.

We desperately want his next photographs to look very different. ❤️‍🩹

💔 TEDDY WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BECOME OUR CASE

Someone had initially asked us to help get Teddy to the veterinary clinic, with the understanding that they would take responsibility for his case.

We did what was asked. Teddy was caught and taken to the vet.

But once the true extent of his injuries became clear - along with how much treatment he would need and how expensive his care was likely to become - that person pulled out.

And suddenly, Teddy’s entire case was left with us.

His treatment.

His hospitalisation.

His surgeries.

His recovery.

His bills.

And ultimately, his future.

We were already overwhelmed. We had no space. We already had thousands in veterinary costs.

But Teddy was sitting in a clinic badly injured and depending on somebody.

What were we supposed to do?

Walk away too?

We couldn’t.

So Teddy became ours to fight for. 💔

🧸 NOW WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR HIS FUTURE TOO

Teddy is preparing for removal of his damaged eye and skin flap surgery, followed by approximately 10–15 days of recovery if everything goes well.

While the vets work on healing his body, we are desperately trying to work out what happens afterwards.

Because the truth is heartbreaking:

We have absolutely nowhere for Teddy to go.

Our rescuer’s home is completely full. We have appealed repeatedly for volunteer foster homes locally in Dubai, but nobody has come forward for him.

We are still trying.

But Teddy deserves more than for us to reach the end of everything we have fought for medically and then have no future waiting for him.

So we are taking a chance and asking something bigger.

❤️ COULD SOMEBODY OPEN THEIR HOME TO TEDDY FOREVER?

Maybe somebody will see him and fall in love.

Maybe you are not looking for a cat immediately, but you could be willing to wait for Teddy while he heals, completes his veterinary treatment and is prepared for travel.

If the right person comes along, we would love nothing more than to prepare Teddy properly and send him to the safe, loving forever home he deserves once he is fully recovered and medically ready.

He has already been let down once when helping him became difficult and expensive.

We desperately do not want him to be let down again.

Teddy deserves somebody who will look beyond the missing eye and see the beautiful little life behind it.

Somebody who will wait for him.

Somebody who will choose him despite everything he has been through.

Somebody who will finally give him the security he has never had. 🥹❤️

We know finding that person may take time.

But after everything Teddy has survived, he deserves us to try.

🙏 IF TEDDY HAS TOUCHED YOUR HEART

If you are genuinely interested in adopting Teddy and are willing to wait for him to recover and become ready for travel, please complete our pre-adoption form through our Linktree and contact us:

🔗 https://linktr.ee/catrescuingbysouad

We will explain our adoption process, learn more about you and talk through everything involved in bringing Teddy home when he is ready.

📍 CURRENT LOCATION: DUBAI, UAE
✈️ Teddy can travel internationally once he is fully healed and medically ready.

If you are in Dubai and could offer Teddy a safe indoor foster home after his recovery, even temporarily, please contact us too.

Short-term would help enormously.

Long-term would be incredible.

💔 IF YOU CAN’T ADOPT OR FOSTER, YOU CAN STILL HELP TEDDY

Our Linktree also contains our Medical GoFundMe, PayPal, Amazon Wishlist and other ways to support our rescues.

We are still waiting for Teddy’s complete veterinary bill, which will include his treatment, surgeries, hospitalisation and recovery. Once we receive it, we will continue sharing his costs transparently as we always do.

And if you cannot donate, please simply share Teddy’s story.

That one share could reach the person we are desperately hoping exists.

Teddy was never supposed to become our responsibility.

His case was effectively left in our hands when the person originally intending to help withdrew once the reality of his treatment became clear.

But Teddy didn’t choose any of this.

He didn’t choose his injuries.

He didn’t choose to be abandoned with a huge medical problem.

And he certainly doesn’t deserve to be the one who pays the price for it.

We chose to stay.

Now we desperately want somebody else to choose Teddy too.

Maybe the next photograph we share of him could finally be Teddy sleeping safely in his own home.

PLEASE HELP us find his person.

SOMEONE WHO will look at him and say:

“Heal first, little one. I’ll be waiting for you.” 🧸❤️‍🩹

19/08/2026

🧸💔 TEDDY UPDATE - THE VETS HAVE MADE THE DECISION

We finally have an important update on Teddy.

After discussing his case, the vets decided that they will proceed with both removal of Teddy’s damaged eye and the skin flap surgery.

As much as we had hoped his eye might be able to stay, the concern is that it is very likely to become infected again in the future and would eventually need to be removed anyway. The safest decision for Teddy is therefore to remove it now and prevent him from facing further pain, infection and another operation later. 💔

Because recovery from the eye removal is expected to take around 10–15 days, the vets have also recommended carrying out the skin flap surgery at the same time.

This should help the large wound on his face heal much faster, rather than leaving Teddy with weeks or potentially months of continued wound care afterwards.

Both procedures are expected to take place very soon.

If everything goes well, Teddy could hopefully be healed, comfortable and medically ready to leave the clinic in around 15 days. 😔❤️

💔 BUT THEN COMES THE QUESTION WE ARE TERRIFIED TO ASK…WHERE WILL TEDDY GO?

We have no foster home for him.

We have no space at our rescuer’s home.

And we simply cannot afford to keep paying for indefinite hospitalisation once Teddy is medically ready to leave.

The thought of eventually having to release him absolutely breaks our hearts.

He would be the first cat our rescuer has ever had to consider releasing after losing an eye, and we genuinely do not know how he will cope.

Of course, if there is absolutely no other option, we would rather Teddy be healthy, pain-free and living in the safest location we can provide than leave him suffering with recurring infection and a painful open wound.

But this is the reality that makes street rescue so devastating.

We spend thousands treating these cats.

We fight for them through surgery.

Hospitalisation.

Medication.

Recovery.

We celebrate when they survive.

And then sometimes, after everything they have been through, we are forced to return them to the same outside world because there is simply nowhere else for them to go.

And you never stop wondering.

Will they survive?

Will they cope?

Will somebody hurt them?

Will they be hit by a car?

Will all that treatment and all those weeks of fighting for them end with us never knowing what happened?

This is the part people often do not see.

We save them because we cannot watch them suffer.

But without foster homes and adopters, sometimes we cannot give them the ending they deserve.

🙏 TEDDY DESPERATELY NEEDS A FOSTER

If anybody in Dubai could offer Teddy a safe indoor foster home after his recovery, even temporarily, please contact us.

Short-term would help enormously.

Long-term would be incredible.

And ultimately, we would love nothing more than for Teddy to have the chance of finding a proper forever home rather than returning outside after everything he has endured.

💔 WE ARE ALSO STILL WAITING FOR TEDDY’S FINAL BILL

We have not yet received the full veterinary bill for Teddy.

Things can operate a little differently in the UAE compared with the UK, and invoices are not always produced immediately. We often have to wait until treatment has progressed or procedures have been completed before the final costs are issued.

So once Teddy has undergone surgery and the clinic has prepared everything, we will receive the bill and, as always, we will share the costs transparently.

We already know this will not be a small bill.

Eye removal.

Skin flap surgery.

Hospitalisation.

Medication.

Wound care.

Recovery.

And all of this comes on top of the veterinary bills we are already desperately trying to pay.

🙏 IF YOU CAN HELP TEDDY AND OUR OTHER RESCUES, PLEASE DO

Every donation, no matter the size, helps us keep saying yes when a cat like Teddy has nowhere else to turn.

Now he has one more huge hurdle ahead of him.

Come on, Teddy. One surgery, one recovery, and hopefully the beginning of something much better. 🧸❤️‍🩹

🚨🐾 UK FOSTER HOMES NEEDED - WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER 🐾🚨

Could you be the safe place that allows us to say YES to the next cat who desperately needs us?

Right now, we don't have any of our rescues in foster care in the UK - but we urgently need to change that by building a trusted network of approved UK foster parents BEFORE the next emergency happens.

We are desperately trying to find foster homes locally in Dubai, but the reality is heartbreaking. 💔

Again and again, we struggle to find people willing to step forward. We rescue a cat, get them veterinary treatment, fight to get them healthy... and then we're faced with the same terrifying question:

Where do they go next?

We are exhausted.

There are only so many cats we can physically help when there is nowhere safe for them to go afterwards. Sometimes having one foster home available can determine whether we're able to take another cat into our care at all.

That's why we're now trying from both sides - Dubai AND the UK.

We need people in the UK willing to become approved foster parents and join our network so that when the right cat desperately needs somewhere to go, we already have someone safe to call. ❤️

💔 THE CATS NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT

There is another heartbreaking reality behind why we need foster homes so badly.

A pedigree-looking or purebred cat often attracts attention quickly. People enquire. People share. People offer homes.

But put an Arabian Mau or ordinary-looking street cat beside them, and far too often they become invisible.

And that is devastating because these are the cats filling the streets of the UAE.

They didn't choose to be born without a pedigree.

They didn't choose street life.

They didn't choose to be abandoned, injured, hungry, frightened or overlooked.

Yet somehow, their appearance can determine how many people believe their life is worth.

Our rescues are predominantly Arabian Maus and Arabian Mau mixes, and we wish more people understood just how extraordinary these cats are.

Arabian Maus developed naturally in the harsh environment of the Arabian Peninsula. They tend to be highly intelligent, athletic, curious, alert and incredibly adaptable. Many form extraordinarily strong relationships with the humans they learn to trust.

They have personality in abundance. 😂

Some are chatty. Some follow you everywhere. Some are complete comedians. Some want to curl up beside you after spending their lives never knowing what a safe bed felt like.

And, like every cat, each one is an individual.

They may not come with a pedigree certificate.

We often don't know their genetics.

We may never know everything that happened to them before rescue.

But none of that makes their life worth less.

Sadly, being an Arabian Mau or Mau mix can make finding a home incredibly difficult in the UAE. Street cats are so commonplace that people can simply stop seeing them as individuals.

We see them.

We know their personalities.

We know the frightened cat who eventually learns to sleep peacefully.

We know the traumatised cat who finally chooses to sit beside a human.

We know the unwanted street kitten who grows into someone's absolute soulmate.

They aren't "just street cats."

They are cats who have never been given the same opportunity.

And sometimes all that stands between one of them and a completely different life is one person willing to give them that chance. ❤️

🏡 WHAT DOES FOSTERING MEAN?

You provide the temporary home, patience, love and stability.

We remain responsible for the rescue.

🐾 Necessary veterinary treatment is covered by us.
🐾 Our UK foster rescues will have insurance in place.
🐾 We will provide the necessities your foster cat needs.
🐾 You will have ongoing contact and support from us throughout the placement.

If you're able to provide food and/or litter yourself, we would be incredibly grateful because every little bit saved helps us support another rescue.

But if you can't, please don't let that prevent you from applying. We can provide these necessities.

🏠🔐 STRICTLY INDOOR HOMES ONLY

This is extremely important.

Every cat under our rescue is strictly indoor-only, and our foster policy is strictly indoor-only.

For the safety and welfare of our rescues, all resident cats within a foster household must also be strictly indoor.

Unfortunately, if your resident cat has full or partial outdoor access, we wouldn't be able to approve the household for fostering.

This isn't about judging how anybody else chooses to care for their cats. It is simply one of our safeguarding requirements.

Many of our cats have already experienced street life, abandonment, trauma and instability.

Once they reach safety, we will not knowingly expose them to unnecessary risks again.

Their welfare comes first. ALWAYS. ❤️

🐾 OUR FOSTER PROCESS

1️⃣ Initial chat - we get to know you, your lifestyle, household and experience.
2️⃣ Foster application form.
3️⃣ Video home check.
4️⃣ Video call with our rescuer.
5️⃣ Approval and foster agreement before a rescue is placed with you.

Being approved does NOT mean you have to immediately take a cat.

We are trying to build our foster network now so that when an emergency happens, we can contact our approved fosters, explain the individual cat's circumstances and find the right match.

No previous fostering experience is necessary.

We need compassion, patience, honesty, commitment and a willingness to understand that some rescue cats need time before they realise they're finally safe.

💔 WE NEED THIS NETWORK BEFORE THE EMERGENCY - NOT DURING IT.

We don't want the next desperate message to come through and have to say:

"We can't take them. We have nowhere for them to go."

We want to look at our foster network and say:

"We have someone. We can help."

You may not foster tomorrow.

You may not foster next week.

But one day, our message could simply be:

"We have a little one who desperately needs you. Can you help?" 🥺

And because you stepped forward today, another Arabian Mau who had been overlooked their entire life could finally get their chance.

📩 Please privately message Cat Rescuing by Soua’d if you would like to apply to join our UK foster network.

And if fostering isn't possible for you, please COMMENT, SHARE and TAG someone who might be able to help.

Please don't scroll past them because they aren't pedigree.

A pedigree doesn't make a life more valuable.

Help us give the forgotten ones the same chance. ❤️🐾

💔 OUR DOORS ARE CLOSED. WE HAVE NO SPACE. AND YET…HOW DO YOU WALK AWAY FROM A BABY LIKE THIS?We honestly don’t even know...
17/08/2026

💔 OUR DOORS ARE CLOSED. WE HAVE NO SPACE. AND YET…HOW DO YOU WALK AWAY FROM A BABY LIKE THIS?

We honestly don’t even know where to begin anymore.

We have been saying that our doors are closed because there is physically nowhere left to put another cat.

Not one spare room.
Not one corner.
Not even the bathroom - that space is already being used by rescues.

And then this tiny baby appeared. 💔

Our rescuer was out feeding when workers nearby saw her and immediately brought this little one over, telling her he was sick.

She had planned to finish feeding and continue on to Abu Dhabi.

Instead, she turned around and drove back to the vet before they closed.

Because what else could she do?

How do you look at a sick baby and say, “Sorry, we’re full”?

🐾 JUST A BABY…AND ALREADY NEEDING HELP

At the clinic, it was discovered that he has a small fracture in his leg which has caused an abscess.

Thankfully, he has tested negative for parvo.

But now he needs veterinary care and somewhere safe to recover.

And once again, we are facing the same impossible question:

Where is he supposed to go?

There is absolutely no space at home.

Leaving cats at the clinic means the bills continue growing every single day.

But releasing a sick baby who needs care is simply not something we can bring ourselves to do.

💔 THIS IS WHAT IS BREAKING US

We are exhausted.

Not “a little tired”.

Exhausted.

There are already thousands in veterinary bills.

There are food bills.

Medication.

Follow-up appointments.

Hospitalisation.

Street colonies that still need feeding.

Cats already in rescue who need ongoing care.

And every time we think we cannot possibly take on another case, another animal appears in front of us who has nobody else.

And somehow, the responsibility lands on the same people again.

Rescuers.

Feeders.

A handful of individuals who simply cannot look away.

Meanwhile, so many other people do.

They walk past.

They turn their heads.

They see an injured street cat and convince themselves somebody else will deal with it.

But very often there is no somebody else.

There is just another exhausted rescuer trying to work out how to pay one more bill and where to put one more body.

💔 THEY ARE INVISIBLE UNTIL SOMEBODY DECIDES THEY MATTER

We live in a world obsessed with what is beautiful, expensive, polished and desirable.

And yet the animals who need people the most are so often the ones people overlook.

A tiny street kitten does not come with a pedigree certificate.

A scarred Arabian Mau does not have a fashionable breed name attracting dozens of enquiries.

A sick cat sitting beside a building does not shine.

But they feel pain exactly the same way.

They become frightened.

They become hungry.

They want warmth.

They want safety.

They want somebody to pick them up and decide:

“Your life matters too.”

That is all this little baby needed yesterday.

Somebody not to walk away.

🐾 AND THIS IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN ONE KITTEN

Animal rescue is in crisis in so many places around the world.

Here in the UAE, street cats are routinely treated as unwanted pests rather than vulnerable animals who deserve protection and compassion.

Rescuers across the Emirates are overwhelmed.

There are too many cats.

Too few foster homes.

Too little financial support.

And the same people are repeatedly expected to somehow absorb every emergency.

We cannot keep doing this alone.

We genuinely cannot.

But when a sick baby is placed in your hands, sometimes your heart makes the decision before your head has even had time to calculate the consequences.

So here we are again.

Another little life.

Another veterinary bill.

Another cat with nowhere to go.

And another desperate plea for help.

🙏 IF YOU CAN HELP US, PLEASE DO

Even a few pounds towards his treatment or our existing veterinary bills makes a difference.

If you cannot donate, please share.

If you are in Dubai and can foster, please contact us. Foster homes are one of the things we need most desperately right now.

We will keep doing everything we possibly can for these cats.

But we need people to stand beside us.

Because right now, we are running on exhaustion, love and the inability to simply turn our backs on suffering.

And we don’t know how much longer that alone can carry us. 💔
