Care for Cats

Donation protected
I hate doing this, but unfortunately I'm kinda in a situation where I need some help. I understand there are far more important causes to donate money to, but if you love animals and have some spare change, it will be greatly appreciated. I take care of dozens of cats, both indoor and outdoor. They were all born outside, but my weakness for cats has also flooded my house with about a dozen of them. Needless to say they are costing me more money than I really have. Every bit counts. Even $10 buys a bag of food. The outdoor cats live in my yard, a couple people were nice enough to donate 2 cat houses to me, which they live in, in my backyard. I have a few older female outdoor cats who still need to be fixed, as they have had too many litters already, and I keep medicine and antibiotics stocked in the house in case they get sick, which they sometimes do, especially in the frigid New York winters. GoFundMe requires that i put a number on how much money I need, but in reality I always need. I'm always going to care for them. I will take pictures and post them either on here, if I can, and on my Twitter page, to show you the cats that you will be helping, and I'll post a short bio on them. Every single one of them are friendly, and they all love humans. When I pull up they all come running over to my car and can't wait to be played with. I have one with Leukemia and Aids. her name is Betsy (after Betsy Ross), she is also blind in one eye. I didn't know she was sick and she got pregnant, all of the kittens died, except one - The kittens name is Cherokee (Cherri for short) and she now lives in my house, as well as her daddy (Pontiac) and both are as healthy as can be, but the kitten needs to be fixed. Mommy, Betsy, had gotten terribly ill and stopped eating and almost died. I took her to the vet and she stayed at the vet for a week and didn't eat. Vet said that if she didn't eat by the next morning that she would be put down. Next morning comes and miraculously she took her first bite of food in a week. Vet told me to bring her home and to see how she was the next day. As soon as she got home she started eating, and has been ever since. That was about 3 months ago from today (9-7-18). Even though she has Aids and Leukemia and is blind in one eye, she is back to her old self, for now, and is as happy as can be. She unfortunately can't be around other cats and is kept in a separate room, but is the most loving, affectionate thing you'd ever meet. she is on steroids at the moment. . Anyway, like I said, anything you can do helps and will be greatly appreciated. I assure you that every penny will go to the cats, as that's where all my money goes anyway. Thanks for your time

A little bit about myself:  On twitter you know me as Stonewall  but my real name is Jay.  Myself and my family (Gail G), are  from Babylon, New York and we have been taking care of outside cats for years and years now (many of which become indoor cats) and feed them, get them medications, take them to the vets, get them fixed and take in sick and injured cats.  All the money goes to their care, their upkeep, since New York gets very cold in the winters, we stock up on medications and even open our back room to them if they get sick.   We have outside cat houses but want to make them more insulated from the winters cold.
