Sunday carousel with Eira, Moby, and Byron 🤎

🐾Eira is still, months later, under treatment and special diet; recovery is a long journey for this girl. She's very stubborn, though, keeping up her energy and trying to make friends with Moby

🐾Moby refuses to give in to the woes of old age and kind of tolerates Eira’s attempts to cuddle and play

🐾Byron needs to lose weight; he will soon not be able to fit through the door! I would also love to brush him, but he's having none of it!

Tofu, the best dad, raised five daughters. Four were rescued, and one, Miranda, is still outside. After Tofu too was rescued, Miranda was left completely alone. In the meantime, two of her sisters have been adopted, and everyone else is in foster care.

Please help me bring her in! I have secured a temporary place for her at the local shelter, where she can stay until I find a home for her 🤎

She will first need a vet check, and I also have to cover the fee for her at the shelter (her rent 🤭). The total will be €200.

Please help Miranda find her way to safety and a better life!

Help needed with spooky month's expenses! 🦇

🐾 I'm soon expecting to receive a zooplus food order placed on October 6. I selected to pay cash on delivery, hoping I'll be able to fundraise the amount needed in the meantime. I haven't! It's €800, and I have €0 😅

🐾 There already was a vet clinic debt of €340 for earlier appointments, which has now risen to €600 because I've only gathered €60 for Sebastian's surgery and Elva's follow up! 🥳

🐾 I also continually need to buy necessities, including litter, supplements, and medication. That's an unavoidable daily expense of about €150/month.

🐾 It will yet again soon be time to replenish my supply of EIDD-1931 from Germany. The babies under treatment still have two months to go. The treatment lasts 16 weeks and costs €174/15 days 🌻

🐾 Another important thing to do this month is get Miranda off the streets. Miranda's entire family has been rescued, and two of her sisters have already found homes! She's Tofu's last daughter; she's been left completely alone after he too was rescued 💔
Miranda will be placed at the CareAboutNature
shelter now that Thunder has found a home. Miranda's rescue will cost €100 for the basic intake vet check and €100/month for her stay at the shelter.

Please help me cover the needs of the small army of fosters and strays who depend on me! 🙏🤎

Lisa's cats 🐾

Lisa came to Greece from France with a family of five cats; she originally had Elfo and Lucy, and they made three new cats because they were not neutered! Josy, Hima, and Ptit Bebe.

She then moved to Australia and left the cats behind, without a rehoming plan or any solution. I'm now trying to help them find a new life.

I found a place for the mom and two daughters at the shelter of Let's Be Smart, and they can stay there until I find a home for them. The dad is at a temporary foster home, and the last daughter was adopted. The family has never been apart before. They went through a terrible ordeal, including separation and multiple moves from place to place.

I am looking for sponsors and homes for these babies. Let's Be Smart charges a fee of €50 per cat per month. Ideally, they should stay together; I would love for the dad to join them at the shelter!

Please donate for the shelter fee and other expenses!
Please share and help me find homes for them!
Please consider adopting!

Please help me help them 🙏

Thunder has found her family in the Netherlands and is looking for a friend to take her home! 🤎

A direct flight either Athens to Amsterdam or Athens to Eindhoven would be perfect!

She's ready for immediate departure and would like to travel in the cabin, please! She's very calm, cuddly, and quiet and will make a pleasant travel companion 😊

Please let me know if you're going that way!
Please share and help Thunder find her way home!

Tomorrow is a big day for Elva and Sebastian! 🤎

Sebastian has finally recovered enough to have his traumatic hernia surgery; he’ll be relieved of the pain and escape the risk of rupture. As he’s otherwise a young, strong, and healthy sweetheart, I have high hopes that a forever home is on the horizon for him after this last part of his rescue journey! 😻

Elva has completed the first three weeks of treatment for her overactive thyroid. She has regained some of her lost weight, and she’s in good spirits. It’s protocol to repeat all blood tests after three weeks to check how her body is responding to the treatment, if there are systemic side effects, and whether the dose needs adjustment. An overactive thyroid in senior cats is a life-threatening condition, but there is a cure, and Elva is doing well so far; fingers crossed!

Can you please help me cover the cost for tomorrow’s vet appointments? It’s going to be €320 total for both babies 🤗

Philip was found by in the garbage when he was tiny and gravely ill with FIP. He spent the next few months of his life in a vet clinic box being prodded and painfully handled every day, which made him extremely fearful of humans.

He was then transferred to the .can shelter, where he continued living in a crate, isolated by the other cats. His fear continued, and he was quite hostile toward the volunteers.

In time, he made a full recovery and caught the eye of the wonderful and her husband, , who welcomed Philip to their home in the Netherlands, with the help of who acted as flight buddy. Vanessa kept supporting Philip throughout and is still involved, enthusiastically enjoying his new beginning!

Philip was initially kept separate from their other cats, and Tanya and Thijs made sure to spend lots of time with him without any pressure, just being in the same room doing their thing. It did not take long for Philip to overcome his reservations and become the cuddlebug he was always meant to be. Now, he's freely roaming the house and getting to know his siblings 🤗

Philip has a wonderful life ahead. He will be happy and make his people happy. Just as it should be 🤎

Thank you for helping in September! 🤎

Unfortunately, none of the original targets could be reached, mostly because difficult things happened with Charlotte, Elva, and Sebastian and rapidly drained the resources.

There is an amount pending for September's essentials, and nothing has been raised so far for the EIDD-1931 medication from Germany and the debt to the pet store 😑

Please keep helping!

Here is a video of Charlotte playing with her drip, which I think is nicely symbolic 😊

All results are ready now, and I have included them here in pictures for the record. It's the blood tests, xray, ultrasound, CT scan, and cytology report.

Long story short, she still doesn't have a definitive diagnosis, but there is probably no aggressive cancer and it could be slow cancer or FIP.

There is:
⚡️Kidney damage, which could be chronic kidney disease
⚡️Lung collapse, which could be severe pneumonia or FIP related
⚡️A large mass in her liver, which could be a benign tumor, malignant but slow growing tumor, or FIP granuloma
⚡️Pancreatitis and a pancreatic tumor, but it's most probably not malignant and could be FIP related
⚡️An enlarged spleen, but the vets believe this isn't important
⚡️Anemia and severe systemic inflammation
⚡️Gastro issues possibly causing nausea

Accordingly, she's eating renal food, getting daily drip fluids, and taking antibiotics for her lungs, EIDD-1931 for the possible FIP, hepatiale forte for her liver, calopet vitamins for a general boost, and gabapentin to manage pain and agitation. She might also start Porus One for her kidneys.

Her mood is fluctuating between extreme agitation and drowsiness, but she also has many good moments. Her appetite is good, and she's always up for that extra bite, but I'm keeping her on many small meals over the day. Her condition is critical, but I want to be hopeful. Whatever it is, it moved really fast because her previous tests showed none of these things, and they were only a few months ago.

I'll take her back to the vet for repeat tests in about a month. I’ve been going there myself almost every day to pester them about her 🤦

For now, fingers crossed for Charlotte! 🥰
