Help Jakoby keep his house and cats

Donation protected
My name is Michael. Im a disabled veteran and most importantly a cat dad to 35.
I did set a high goal but its for a good reason and I hope you agree

I want to try and not make this too long but there is a lot to cover.
But today I got a official forclosure notice for my house. For the last 11 years I have been running a cat rescue 100% completely out of pocket. So when I lose this house I will lose them as well. They have been taken care of, but I have fallen gravely behind on bills. If it wasn't for them I wouldnt even be making this. I'm going to be honest with you. I would 100% just take my life if it wasnt for them. They are my family, they are my purpose. I got my first cat Luther right after getting out of the military and he saved my life. I just kept rescuing more and I didnt have the heart to rehome them. I couldnt guarantee they would be loved the way they should. I was adopted by people who did it for the money ya know, it hurts. The only way to guarantee they would be loved right is if i did it myself.

So how did this all happen? December of 2022 was the best month of my entire life. I just celebrated a 3 year anniversary, 1 year of owning my first home, and i even won hak5s hacker of the year that year. I was on top of the world it seemed.
Wouldn't even last a whole month.
My mom died on newyears eve. That 3 year relationship ended 2 weeks later when i found out she cheated and got pregnant.
I lost my job 2-3 weeks after that. February was the anniversary of both my dad and my sisters suicide and too be honest I never really recovered since then, but I also didnt stop trying.

If that wasnt enough I have not had the best luck with business partners. In the last year I have had to end the relationship with 3 of them after the behavior they displayed in front of me. You can get all the information you need about these encounters from the tweets below. But after doing the right thing and starting the process of calling these people out I have since been doxxed this last december and had an "attempted" swatting in march.

The callout:

the proof:

My personal home address and my information is online right now.
Apart from all the trauma ive experienced here and want to get away from i do NOT feel safe here.
There is a noose in my garage and i cant stop looking at it everyday.
So its not safe for me from me, and its not safe from the outside world that has my personal information as well

i moved here for that girl and now i have no one here. No family or support system.
I need help. Living like this is just not ok.

so why is the goal so high?
because i own this house and when i move i have to buy a new house and i cant rent
(no one will rent to me with 35 cats)

i used my VA loan to buy this house with my fixed income (disability)
in order for me to move WITH my cats i have to buy a house where i want to move
move down there with my cats, and THEN sell my previous house.

or maybe work out one of those deals where i sell it but rent it from them for like 2-3 months

but either way I just cant do this on my own...

Whats the end goal? I want to be safe and secure with my cats
one day. Id like to have a consistent income so i can continue to try and help people like i did in the video down below
i just want to help people. Its the one thing that makes the not alive thoughts go away

p.s. originally the video down below was me saying goodbye. I just wanted to do something nice on my way out. The experience itself was so profound in how it made me feel it now ends with a black screen and a different outro. I changed my mind. It felt so good making those people smile. I hope to be able to do it again some day

p.s.s. every penny left over after the move or my cats will be given away just like in the video below
