Save This Sweet Stray Cat and Help Start a Rescue Mission

Donation protected
Hi there
Two nights ago, I found an old, sick cat that had been abandoned. From the condition of her teeth i believe she's a senior cat and from her behavior, I’m almost certain she was someone’s house cat and she got thrown out when she started having bladder control issues due to age. Despite everything she’s been through, she’s unbelievably sweet—she sleeps in my arms every night, and I can’t let her down.

Sadly, she’s leaking urine constantly, struggling to make it to the litter box, and has already had accidents on my bed and chair, me... It breaks my heart to see her struggle- I know she’s in pain. She needs to see a vet immediately to figure out what’s going on and get treated. The costs for her exams, diagnostics, and any treatments or surgeries she might need are estimated at $3,000.

But this isn’t just about her. Finding her has made me realize how many cats like her are out there—abandoned when they get old, sick, or just “inconvenient.” I want to do something about it. I’m planning to start a nonprofit cat rescue to help strays like her get the care and love they deserve.

How the Funds Will Be Used:

$3,000 for her urgent medical care (vet exams, treatment, surgery, follow-ups).
$2,000 to establish the nonprofit rescue (legal fees, permits, basic equipment).
The Bigger Picture:
If we hit the $5,000 goal, any extra funds will go straight into expanding this mission:

Catching, fixing, and rehoming more stray cats.
Building partnerships with local shelters and vets to make care more affordable.
Creating a sustainable, ongoing rescue operation.

This cat has already stolen my heart, and I’m determined to protect her and give her a better life. If you can donate, every bit helps—seriously, even a couple of bucks makes a difference. If you can’t donate, please share this campaign with anyone who might be able to help.

I’ll keep you updated with pictures and videos of her progress and all the work this rescue can do with your support.

Thank you for helping me save her and for believing in this mission. Together, we can give her—and so many others—a second chance.
