My Animals are in danger and I need Support

For the past few days, I have been battling extreme depression and anxiety to the point where I wanted to end my life. But then I look at my innocent animals and their pure faces, and I stop myself. I am holding on, fighting with everyone, because I have to fight for them no one else will after me.

As you all know, I have over 150 animals. Around 90 of them are in my rented shelter, while approximately 60 are on my home’s rooftop. The problem is that my neighbors and even My building People are increasingly bothered by me feeding and sheltering these animals.

First, the building’s sewer got clogged, and they blamed me, saying it happened because of the waste from the animals I am keeping. Then, in our building’s WhatsApp group, someone messaged: "Do not put food or feed cats outside our building because they are entering inside and littering."

To be very honest, there are only about 10-12 cats near my gate. The rest Stays at their designated feeding spots and don’t even come close to the building. Even those 10-12 cats disappear for the entire day after eating since I can only feed them once a day. And yet, because of these horrible people, my poor cats are being targeted.

Among all these cats, only one ever comes inside the building her name is Neelum. She comes only up to my gate on the third floor. Many of you must have seen her in my stories. Neelum is a sweet, well behaved cat. She has never urinated or pooped inside the building. She sleeps inside my home most nights, and I have even kept a litter box for her, but she prefers to go outside and use soil like a street cat.

Despite all this, these useless, lying people are putting false accusations on me. I have tried to keep Neelum indoors, but she panics a lot because of my other cats. The moment the door opens, she runs back to the street. Now I’m terrified that these cruel people will take her away or dump her somewhere. I have to relocate her to my shelter somehow, but there is *no space left* there at all.

It’s not just the building people the entire neighborhood is against me. They are also blaming me for the sewer issue and threatening me, saying, Stop feeding the street cats, or we will complain that you are keeping too many cats in a residential area, which is causing problems for the residents.

The worst part is that the people in this street are Extremely rich and Has Contacts with Higher People. They can do anything, and in Pakistan, this kind of cruelty is common. The one seeking justice never gets it here.

I am so exhausted. Humanity doesn’t exist anymore.

To make things worse, for the past four days, a cat has been trapped on my right side neighbor’s balcony. I can’t even ask them to return her because They hate animals. They neither help nor let others help.

The last time, I had to rescue two cats from their house by tying ropes from the fourth floor to their ground floor and making swings to bring them up safely because one of them was injured.

Now, this poor cat has been stuck for days. I have managed to lower food and water for her twice a day using a makeshift device, but she is very scared. I tried using a basket and jetbox to bring her up, but she jumps away. The height from my rooftop to their floor is about four stories, too high. If she jumps midway, she will die.

I have now ordered a trap cage, and I will not give up until I rescue her.

But I urgently need help.

The people in my building and street have turned against my cats. My rescued cats and street cats are in danger. They have poisoned my animals in the past and even paid sweepers to put cats in bags and throw them away.

I am being forced to relocate all my cats as soon as possible.

I already pay rent for my shelter, which has a rooftop, but it has only small boundary walls. I need your support to secure it. I need to install mesh around the sides, add shade, and do some basic electrical work to make it safe for my cats.

The required amount is 400,000 PKR ($1,500 or £1,100), and I have very little time.

Please contribute whatever you can. I cannot handle this daily fighting and mental pressure anymore. I must do something before these people harm my animals.
