Help me save my cats lives!
Donation protected
I thought I would give it one last go to try and raise money to help with the costs of getting my 30 rescue cats to Canada and Australia. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
For the past 4 years I have lived and worked in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. When I first came to Riyadh, one of the first things I noticed was the high number of abused and abandoned/neglected cats wandering the streets. As I could not stand to see the ongoing suffering of these beautiful animals, I decided to do whatever I could to help them, and I have been rescuing cats (and dogs) ever since. There have been paralysed cats, malnourished cats, kittens thrown out of cars at busy intersections (hard to believe, but true!), plus a variety of other health conditions that have had to be treated. Unfortunately, there have also been a number of unexpected deaths, as well as humane euthanasia - each one left me devastated.
I have become very well-known at the local vet clinic as I visit them almost every week - sometimes on multiple occasions - to treat another neglected cat. I have also been actively involved in the "Trap, Neuter, Release" program to control the number of unwanted cats roaming the streets and compounds in Riyadh. I am happy to spend whatever money is necessary to ensure these animals get the best care and treatment possible, and live full and happy lives. I have rehomed countless cats (and have kept plenty for myself!).
I am now nearing the end of my time in Saudi Arabia and I still have over 30 cats to find forever homes for before I leave. I have been fortunate enough to have found a shelter in Canada that will take the majority of the cats to find homes, but now I face the enormous cost of getting them there. The full cost of transporting these beautiful creatures to Canada and Australia is in excess of $40,000, and I am desperately looking for donations to cover at least half the costs.
Any amount you can spare would be greatly appreciated, and will go towards providing a safe and happy life for a beautiful animal.
Thank you in advance for helping these helpless animals.
