Help Michael Get Stray Cats Care & Find Them New Homes

Donation protected
Lord help us, there's not much of a better way to say this this but I have to move and relocate most of my cats including myself. In 43 days I will have to move after I was given a 60 day move notice by the property management of the place I'm staying with my friend. We didn't know I wasn't allowed to live here and my friend didn't know either, but the neighbors have been reporting me living in the basement and by feeding the stray cat population and now I have to leave as I am not on the lease and my guest stay is past its limitation. Thankfully I received a fair amount of time to find help for all the things before then and I pray to God that I can get the help for my cats before I leave.

My name is Michael and 4 months ago God blessed me with a litter of 10 stray kittens that needed someone to feed them and love them and I rose to the challenge. The total amount of stray cats I would end up feeding altogether was 17. At the end of the first month almost all of the kittens would contract a URI and 5 of the 10 kittens and 2 of the 7 adults would perish. As of today I am still taking care of 10 cats and I need to rehome a total of 7 cats: Five adults and two of the younger cats.

The 5 younger cats of the bunch have been spayed, neutered, and have received their rabies shots. They are currently set to be chipped with their checkup shots and any other vaccines at the local feline veterinarian here in Norristown PA. There isn't a set date but once I have the funding needed for that I can bring them in for their treatments.




Thank God I was promised that I could leave 3 of the younger cats here at my friends place (they adore me more than the other ones who are skittish) where she can manage to feed them until I can find a new home that I can bring them to or they can stay here as long as they would like. The property management here said there can't be anymore than 3 cats here per household and none of the neighbors seem to like cats over here. I recently found out that the mother cat (Momma Kitty) of the litter was killed after our angry neighbor tried stealing her newborn kittens and was attacked by Momma Kitty. I would find the remains of 2 unknown kitties that died without their mother, under the neighbors house. Thankfully I was able to get the other kittens Momma Kitty had a month ago were treated and given homes as we didn't need any more cats or kitties.

Hopefully God can provide what I am asking for donations to help the cats and take care of their well-being and to make sure that all of the cats are spayed and neutered before they leave here to ensure that everyone is taken care of and ready to spend better days elsewhere. I have been looking for work for months and haven't found anything and God sees I am trying but maybe this isn't where he wants me.



For 4 months now I haven't been able to leave for a single day without needing to be here to feed all of the cats and it's taken a huge toll on my health as I am very allergic to cats and now that I am being forced to leave I just want to make sure that everyone is taken care of before I go anywhere. My friend who lives here promised she will be able to feed the 3 remaining cats daily and I can visit here and there. All of the cats have warm shelter outside (a wonderful teacher and her students made and donated 3 insulated totes I have filled with hay).





I currently don't have any plans on where I am personally going to go but I'm more worried about the cats well-being more than anything right now.

God knows these cats and kittens have been my everything for these past few months and I'm so very sad that I have to leave, but I am unable to provide for them on my own.

The breakdown of the costs needed for the asking amount:
  • Each of the 5 younger cats from the litter will cost $323 each for their wellness shots, microchips and more.
  • 2 of them need antibiotics immediately for $60.
  • The 5 other stray male cats will be neutered and receive a rabies vaccine for $65 each and rehomed.
  • I added an additional amount to the overall costs in case there are fees or anything extra the cats may need like food, transportation and any other treatment costs.

I will be sharing photos of all the cats and their names in the updates.
Please share this if you are unable to donate.
Every little bit helps and the cats and I appreciate all of you!
God Bless Everyone. These cats deserve the best lives possible.
